The baseball gods had to punish the Brewers for leaving Bryan Hudson off the postseason roster.

And for not subbing Haase for a hobbling Contreras.

Listening to sports radio this afternoon one of the guys brought up a good point. 1969 was the first year of the division format in the majors. Before that, it was simply the top team in each league at season's end that would meet in the World Series. In 1968 it was DET (103-59) vs STL (97-65). The Tigers and Cardinals won their league by 12 and 9 games, respectively. No drama whatsoever. The World Series teams could be determined with a month still to play in the regular season. After that, the four division winners made up the LCSs. That left a lot to be desired as well.

In 1993, SF (103-59) finished 2nd to ATL (104-58) in the NL West. The Giants had the 2nd best record in MLB and DNQ for the playoffs. A 4-team league playoff would've looked like this...
AL
(1)*TOR (95-67) vs (4)TEX (86-76)
(2)*CHW (94-68) vs (3)NYY (88-74)
NL
(1)*ATL (104-58) vs (4)MTL (94-68)
(2)SF (103-59) vs (3)*PHI (97-65)
*division winner

The following season (1994) they went to 3 divisions in each league.
"How about that?" -- Mel Allen.

LOL at the NL "West" back then...SF, SD, LA, Houston ok fine. Then also Cincinnatti and Atlanta wtf? I guess Atlanta moved down from Milwaukee so

Soon as the Phils took out wheeler

 

[bksballer89]

Losing the wheeler game isn’t ideal

 

[Cedrique]

What a joke. Just like the Brewers game except there's no big boobed chick in the front row

 

[Cedrique]

Top of the order. They can't go down softly like that last game against the douchebacks last year.

They will

 

[Shanemansj13]

Pesky Mets

 

[Cedrique]

WTF, Harper. Petey would have run that catcher into the ground

 

[Cedrique]

Wtf was that call? Did he not make a "baseball move" after the catch?

 

[Xeliou66]

Fuck the Phillies and fuck the Mets. I really hope the winner of Dodgers/Padres wins the NL. And I hope the winner of Royals/Yankees wins the AL, I think they would make for a more exciting World Series than Tigers/Guardians.

 

[Cedrique]

Pesky Mets

you're telling me. When is the ghost of Wally Backman gonna appear in the dugout?

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Love the fact this NLDS is all NL east (the I-95 series)...and all NL west (the I-5 series)

 

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Wow...Sandy Koufax still looks young and like he can still go out there and pitch a few scoreless innings while fanning 2 or 3.

 

[black francis]

Fuck the Yankees and fuck replay

Also fuck walking in two runs in a 1 run loss
