As someone pulling for the Indians (or if not them, the A's), I don't think it's going to matter much who comes out of the NL... because neither team I want to win it all is going to even get there.

Sure, there's a brobag element, but overall, Brewers fans are a pretty middle-of-the-road crowd. The team has been the most mainstream form of entertainment in SE Wisconsin for just under 50 years... it's basically a sports version of what you'd find at Summerfest. Anyway, #WinOneForUke.

AstroCree Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 2 hours ago, dont care said: I’m surprised there is so little faith in the Red Sox. Sure the past couple of years they haven’t performed in the playoffs, but it’s a different team, and has been performing above everyone else. And its not due to just who they have played against Because they don’t have a good head-to-head record against every other AL playoff team his year.

MilSox Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Yea. Not sure I understand the point of having wild cards either unless it's a 3 game series (but no more than that). Any team can get one fluke victory on the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top seeds in baseball also haven't had tons of luck in the playoffs. Ask last year's Dodgers or the '01 Mariners. Obviously a team that won 100+ games is going to be good, but I often wonder if some of those wins came from feeding off a weak division and lots of cellar dweller teams. There's many instances where that has been the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
