GODDAMMIT, YOU BETTER WIN REDS.

Wait seriously? Damnit, you can't get a 5$ seat to a minor league park here.

sterlingice · 10-11-2012, 12:49 PM

I got a $5 ticket to Yankee Stadium a couple of years ago and a $5 ticket to Opening Day in Houston this year (cheapest ones in the park but they were face value plus a couple of Ticketmaster "screw you fee" bucks). But those weren't to playoff games

You can barely get a gallon of gas here for $5.

kingfc22 · 10-11-2012, 01:32 PM

Giants going for the early knock down.

sterlingice · 10-11-2012, 01:34 PM

Oh man, that's harsh

Time to switch to full time Cards hate, I guess.

sterlingice · 10-11-2012, 01:46 PM

This could be a really crappy day to be a fan of the teams not in it.

I think the “underdog” favorites are the Reds, Nats, As, and Os and all 4 could be out today.

It’s like having a bunch of scares for top seeds in the opening weekend of the NCAA tourney and none of them falling

SI

Danny · 10-11-2012, 01:48 PM

Yep, Yankees / Tigers and Cards / Giants will eliminate most of my interest in the postseason.

sterlingice · 10-11-2012, 01:55 PM

Reds not quite ready to die yet

I like that the "underdogs" all had better records (except the O's, who were one game worse)

It is never too early to hate the Cardinals.

Yup. That park is a bandbox, and the Reds offense scares the crap out of me. I'm not resting.

Curious why Nats? They have a larger payroll (I have to check this) and won more games than he Cardinals ,who lost Albert frigging Pujols after all. Is it the recent success?

Crapshoot · 10-11-2012, 02:08 PM

Shit.

Rather than Cards bashing (Best Fans in Baseball-TM, etc), Washington hasn't been in the playoffs in 70 years so there's a feel good story there.

Don't get me wrong: I think in 2 or 3 short years, they could become Phillies or Red Sox or Rangers II (or future Dodgers or even Cubs) in that they were novel in that they hadn't won for a while. But then they could turn that success into being a large market juggernaut replete with obnoxious bandwagon fans and a huge media market that they can use to their obscene advantage.

For now, tho, they've been bad for a long time while the Cards have been insanely good for a long time now. They haven't had back-to-back complete losing seasons since the 50s- an astonishing streak.

Recent and historical success. They've been in 18 and won 11 of them (yes, PHI/KC/OAK has 9, but none since '89).

Giants/Yankees, Giants/A's or Thermonuclear war are the only valid conclusions to this MLB season.

rowech · 10-11-2012, 02:52 PM

How many will they leave on base? Man...what a waste of a season. I didn't think they had a team to win but I never imagined them going out this early.

kingfc22 · 10-11-2012, 03:05 PM

Only Affeldt would get injured by a foul ball into the dugout.

That guy is the definition of freak injuries.

Crapshoot · 10-11-2012, 03:09 PM

I'm realizing that being on a treadmill is not a good way to watch this game- my heart is already beating hard.

Vince, Pt. II · 10-11-2012, 03:20 PM

Let's hope that Frazier single isn't like the Freddy Sanchez single in 2010.

Crapshoot · 10-11-2012, 03:22 PM

Angel Pagan just made the most important defensive play of his career.

Marmel · 10-11-2012, 03:31 PM

Yanks/Giants would harken back to the old days of baseball. I would like to see that.

Runner up would be Yanks/St. Louis as they are my favorite team and second favorite team. I became a Yankee fan when I watched my first World Series in 1981 at age 8. My great grand mother was a big Dodgers fan, so being the little prick I was, I rooted for the Yankees. I didn't really get into baseball for a few more years, I believe it was 1985 when the Yankees had a great season but just finished a few games out. Then came a decade of shit and then 1996. St. Louis because I moved there for a 3.5 years and just adopted them as my NL team.

kingfc22 · 10-11-2012, 03:32 PM

Much respect to the Reds, they have an incredible baseball team that deserved more than a first round exit.
