WC format is so dumb. "Hey, you made the playoffs! All of your hard work for 162 games paid off! You get one game."

Minimum 3 game series.

I suppose you could look at it that way. Or you could say you played 162 games and failed to win your division and you got a gift shot to get back in.

I agree. Actually, I think they should just eliminate the 2nd WC spot all together.

Exactly...the Cardinals missed out by one game and don't get another chance. You have to draw the line somewhere.

They wanted to create that 2011 excitement every year as well as handicap the Wild Card. I don't think the Wild Card is handicapped enough.

Managers do not matter....until you find yourself in a "win or go home" game, and that team's manager decides to leave the league's best reliever and potential Cy Young winner on the bench.

Yup

This is why Showalter always gets fired for a manager who can take them farther.

Exactly. Definitely not punitive enough.

The irony there is that Showalter is supposed to be a "good" manager. Which is exactly why I say managers don't matter. Ventura may have won that game. He for sure would have used Britton.

I'm going to bounce from the spot for awhile but I will be back at some point to argue with you about this hoops stuff again. Playoffs have been great this season. See ya up the road.

I'm out.

Yes, it's what I worry about with Maddon...that he will find himself in a similar situation that suggests or demands a conventional response and he will get cute trying to show his geniusness.

John McEnroe lookin like Bernie Sanders, I think this is going to be a great game.. Part of me wants the Mets to take revenge from last year..part of me wants the Cubs to bomb that pussy Samardiza again...its a win win..both teams are blowing their load tonight n can't use their ace til game 3 on Monday...Cubs are going to steamroll either of these teams.


My prediction: Mets 3 - S.F -2
