Agree with you on that. There will be enough other idiots trying to make a drama out of it if it is Toronto. Just glad Fox is not doing the ALCS.

I was just watching the MLB net and the O's hate the Jays more than we do. Maybe a lot more. Tomorrow's game may just be a bunch of fun/excitement.

I would not mind Roogie throwing another right hand
Can't get him suspended during the playoffs.

But....if he does he should lead with the left as the right would be expected.:-)

Here is something we could discuss and that is wimpy WC format. I wish the MLB/NFL/NBA would take control of scheduling and not the media. They would still get their big money TV packages if that became an issue. The WC team is not penalized enough to me and I would feel the same way if it was the Rangers who were the WC team. They should have at the most a 1 day layover either right after the season or after the WC game and then get on with it. But they have a day off, the WC game and then another day off. It gives them time to line up their pitching and give guys some rest.

He should remember to drop his glove this time so he can follow. You never just throw one punch.

Interesting to look back at all 10 Dallas Morning News "expert" preseason picks.

I know we all clown on him for being a homer and usually an idiot, but Evan Grant schooled everyone. He correctly picked all 5 National League playoff teams and 4 out of the 5 AL playoff teams, missing only Baltimore instead of his pick Houston as the second Wild Card team. Plus he picked Rougned Odor to lead the team in HR when everyone else picked Fielder or Moreland. So credit where credit is due- that's pretty impressive.

Dana Larson also did well, probably 2nd best even. She had 8 of the 10 playoff teams correct.

The two worst were Rick Gosselin and Newy Scruggs. Gosselin picked the Astros to win the West, and he missed a lot of the playoff teams too. But Newy Scruggs, while picking the Rangers to win the West, also picked the Twins and Rays (2 worst teams in the AL) to win their respective divisions. That's awful.

And a big middle finger to Tim Cowlishaw, the only dickhead among the 10 "experts" to pick the Rangers to miss the playoffs entirely. Stick to what you do best Tim: getting white-girl-wasted at college bars and having everyone laugh at you when you can't even stand up straight or speak.
