MLB Playoffs Thread

[TitoFan]

The NFL thread isn't getting much attention, so I imagine this MLB thread will get even less.



Still...

I'm not exactly a big baseball fan, but this is a good time of year. Football is in full swing, and baseball is in playoff time, with the World Series coming up. (Yeah... I hate the name too... but what can you do... it's tradition).

It's the Kansas City Royals vs. the Toronto Blue Jays in the American League, and the Chicago Cubs vs. the New York Mets in the National. Looks like the Royals are going to make short work of the Blue Jays.... and right now the Mets have a 2-0 games lead over the Cubs. I'd like for the Cubs to win the whole thing, seeing as to how they haven't won a World Series in over a century. But regardless of who wins the National, I'll be rooting for them in the Series. I wouldn't mind the Mets winning... as I can't stand the NY Yankees, and having the Mets win would give them New York bragging rights for the next year.

I was kinda hoping the Houston Astros would make it, since they got a phenomenal rookie from Puerto Rico (Carlos Correa)..... who's poised to be a huge star for years to come.

Watching Game 3 between the Mets and Cubs right now, and they're tied at 2 runs each.

[TitoFan]

Ahh crap! Mets won. The Cubs are officially dead, down 3-0 in games.

I hope toronto lose after their beer throwing incident against texas :S... Fun team to watch though.

Wasn't aware of that incident. But your wish should come true very soon, as Kansas City looks like the team to beat from all 4 teams in the playoffs. They beat the crap out of Toronto today.

I hate the Royals. I hope the Jays beat the shit out of them the next two games.

[TitoFan]

I thought they played tonight. Toronto isn't out of it. They seem pretty explosive at times.
Still.... I'll be rooting for the NY Mets in the Series.

[mrbig1]

Great, now two teams I hate are in the WS. I hate the Royals more so I'm pulling for the Mets.

I feel for ya, bro. Just out of curiosity, why do you hate the Royals? I've heard of people hating the Yankees and Dodgers, but never the Royals. I'm neutral on them. Like I said I'll be rooting for the Mets, just 'cause I want them to be able to thumb their noses at the Yankee fans for the next year.

[mrbig1]

I'm a Orioles fan. They beat us in the ALCS last year. So go Mets.

[TitoFan]

Gotcha!
Go Mets!

I like the orioles, just about every time i have put one of their games on it has been highly entertaining and just back and forth. A total coincidence i'm sure but whatever.


I am glad that toronto are out now, even though they have been a great team to watch throughout the season, I bet a couple of dollars on kansas to win the whole thing and I think they will but I would prefer if the mets did

[TitoFan]

NY Mets hanging on to a 1-run lead in the 8th..... bringing in their closer.
Good, tough game.

Go Mets!

[TitoFan]

Damn...

The Mets couldn't hold the lead. It's now tied 4-4 going into the 11th inning.
Not liking the looks of this.

[TitoFan]

Yep..... Royals win it in the bottom of the 14th inning.

[TitoFan]

So now the Royals blast the Mets in Game 2, and go to New York with a 2-0 game lead.
I smell a sweep.
