Blue Jays in 5. Sorry KC you had your chance. Looking forward to Bautista's first at bat VS Ventura.

I'd be surprised if that happened this has all the makings of a 7 game series. I like the way the Jays starting pitching is setup, Price has great numbers against KC, he has to show up and be dominate like he was during the regular season.

what's your preferred brand of beer to throw at kids

i'm a lightweight these days and prefer cracked canoe

I think I'll go with Steam Whistle tall boys. This way I'll have a larger can for more damaged and the beer is light enough that will allow me to drink more of them so I'll have plenty of ammo.

I want the nearest child sacrificed tonight if we go down early

Even if I was such a die hard that I paid $750 each for tickets... faced with the ability to then sell them for $1,500 to $2,250 I'd have gladly done so and watched at a local sports bar like a king.

Ya would have been the smart thing to do, still a sports memory that very few ppl get to witness in person. If I was in a pinch for money I would have probably sold my ticket but I definitely don't regret not selling them.

I regret not buying Steelers/Pats week 1 tickets in bulk while i had the opportunity too a lot more, back when most ppl assumed Brady wouldn't play.

Ticket brokering is one of the best businesses out there these days. Look into it, it can be a great part time gig.

Anus your picks where looking good early then those teams besmirched you. Good thing you didn't gamble on them(i hope)

Collins is a good story his last job as a manger in the majors was for the Cangels back in 99, he went to Japan to manage in 08-09. I remember when the Mets hired him he was thought to be a placeholder until the young players developed I don't think anyone thought Collins would lead them to the playoffs this season.

He's gotten a lot of shit from Mets fans but I've always liked Terry. I think the most important trait for a manager is handling the different personalities in the clubhouse and building chemistry. Most of the baseball decisions are by the book. This Mets team is a very tight group of guys.

Lmao no, probably would have went the other way in almost every series if money was on the line. It's easy to throw out upsets when nothing's coming out of your wallet.

Volquez and Estrada

What a terrible matchup.

 

[RR]

What a terrible matchup.

Yeah, Hard pressed to find a worse first game matchup ever.

Little concerned about my UH bet at -19. Public is all over it and now it's 21

 

[sky]

[INeedARemedy]

....pitching duel?

 

[Graves The Elder]

oh, I'm pitching.
she's catching.

 

[LongTermLurker]

Was expecting more offense with this pitching matchup.

 

[Sara]

oh, I'm pitching.
she's catching.

I'll have you know the few times I played baseball I played second base and even though I could catch and throw and did a terrible job and never went out to be a cut off person or even pretend to have range or try to turn a single double play.

I walked a lot too.
