MLB PLayoffs 2022

[ocnbrze]

hey my fellow AF family,

so today, Wednesday, marks the last day of regular season baseball. how did your team do? did they make it in? is your team in wildcard series?

lets talk here about the playoffs. who do you think will win it all?

Wrong sport.. wrong team... but it quickly came to mind.

I really don't follow baseball I think I lost interest in it after the strike back in the early 90's.
I occasionally do follow the Rockies and if I can catch a Rockies game on the TV I might watch it for a few minutes.
This season I didn't much attention to them, preoccupied with other things. I went back and looked at the season. It seems like they got off to a rocky start (no pun intended) then seem to found their footing and went on a 4-5 game winning streak and then it was like the wind got sucked out of their sail. They lost seven games in row last month which didn't help and probably knocked them out of the wildcard series. They did alright against the dodgers. But the season is over for the Rockies.
For the team that will go all way and win the world series I am going to go with the Cleveland Guardians. I know absolutely nothing about them I just choose them at random

I hate to say it but this year I'm rooting for the Yankees all the way.
Judge had a great season so it would be befitting...

 

[Clementine_3]

Red Sox out so Atlanta all the way!!

Judge had a great year, too bad he's a Yankee because they must be defeated by anyone, someone - please!

Go Braves

Booooooooo

I will forever hate them. You can thank the late george steinbrenner for that. Never liked him as an owner of the Yankees.

Dodgers over Yanks for some old time baseball.

 

[Dannydet]

Yankees over Dodgers!!!

Yankees over Dodgers!!!

I listed in alphabetical order.. I have no favorite. My team is sitting at home wondering if they will be back in the minors in 23

My Padres made the 5th seed in the Wild Card and we start with the Mets Tomorrow, I believe even though i love my Padres but i think it come down to either the Yankees or the Dodgers winning it all.



It just happens that they are the 2 teams i hate the most to

too bad we are going to win it all this year

 

[olbriar]

Is it just me or does it seem like it's Dodger and Yanks then MLB and then the Royals and farm clubs?

why can't you include the Mets? they have been strong all year......same goes for the houston cheaters (but they cheat so who cares). the braves and mets are the two teams that scare me the most right now.

There's a good chance of that to .

 

[Unforgiven]

Rooting for players, I hope Judge tears it up in the playoffs. Every home run he hits is a larger contract the Yankees are going to have to shell out. Make them pay for not signing him before he hit free agency.

I'm probably with @Clementine_3 and rooting for the Braves. Between ties back to Boston and the fact that I could watch more Braves games on TBS when I was a kid than Red Sox probably influences that.

But the Mets pitching hasn't been what it was.

 

[olbriar]

Baseball is a funny game. It's all about matchups and timing. Even a bad team can give an L to a great team on a given night. The playoffs and the world series are structured so that the best team advances. There are a lot of things that I do not care for in modern day baseball but I do like the playoffs as well as the WS. The best team prevails.
Don't fret. It's not like the do or die Super Bowl. The best team wins out.

No love for STL here? They have been on a tear since the All-Star break.

 

[fred ball]

The networks are orgasmic re a Yankees vs Dodgers WS. Money, money, money, w/ the biggest markets/audiences in the country ... & let 'flyover' country be da**ed!

I don't know, Cards v. Yanks could draw a big national audience with the dual home run stories.

WHO??????

 

[olbriar]

The Dodgers are still a Brooklyn team to me. One hell of a rivalry between them and the Yanks.

I'm that old And my Chiefs were the Dallas Texans

 

[tube517]

FOX is praying for Dodgers-Yankees. Ratings last year were dismal.

I'm not rooting for anyone just want an exciting playoff and WS

 

[ocnbrze]

holy crap, i had to work late and i just got home to find that the Padres just killed the Mets. and it looks like all the wildcard teams beat the home team except for cleveland who beat tampa bay.....looks like some good fun for the wild card teams.

i just hope that the additional rest will help my boys in blue. i hope they do not get cold waiting.
