Another disappointing pirates season. Sometimes I wonder why I do this to myself.

[F me, I quit America]

Oh, man, the Reds broke up a Guardians combined perfect game in the seventh with a bunt. They were only down 2-0 at the time, but man, it's not like they're fighting tooth and nail for anything. I'm kind of a weird traditionalist when it comes to baseball (and virtually nothing else), so that seems pretty late to be doing that, but at least it was a bullpen game for the Guards.

And what the hell's up with them Tigers? At the beginning of the year, I doubt anyone predicted they'd make the playoffs, or the Guardians, or three teams from the AL Central. I love the Guards but they made no moves in the off season and all year we kept expecting them to fail, but they're playing really well right now. Most of us predicted like 70-72 wins.

Tarik Skubal best pitcher in the game.

Matchup dependent and people will buy em eventually cause if they get that bye round then you plan differently. We got a lot going on here 🤷🏻‍♂️

i believe it will be sometime this week, terms said 10/4, but that seems a little close to the game, so who knows.

Sale is out for game 2. I am not above rooting against the Braves, let's go Mets.

Really just wondering if the top division winners will be affected at all by the curse of the wild card bye.

If it happened again this year then everyones just gonna pick the low seeds to win. I mean for LA its making a difference because Freeman had the ankle injury so 10 days of rest is great
