Official MLB Playoffs Thread: O's/Yanks, A's/Tigers, Nats/Cards, Reds/Giants

[Hitman21ST]

All right now, we're down to 8.

Thought we could group all playoff talk in here. Keep the O's and Nats threads going, definitely, but this is for playoff talk in general.

Congrats to the Orioles and Cardinals for winning the first Wild Card play-in games in MLB history.

Atlanta got absolutely boned with that infield fly nonsense. I don't know if it cost them the game but it was a downright horrible call. If I were a Brave fan in the stadium I would have rioted. Poor Bubble Screen.

Yeah, the Atlanta vs Cards game was wild.

Watch this video. Harold Reynolds does a good job explaining why the call was legit. Like it or not, whether you would have called it or not, it's at least a legit call.

A Skins spokesman tells me the Nats game will be shown on monitors "throughout the stadium" Sunday afternoon. Yay team

It would be a much more legit call if the guy called it before it fell to 2 feet off the ground.

Rotten call.

That's the game of baseball. Sometimes you get calls to go your way, sometimes you don't. We are down to 8.

It's going to be sweet revenge if the O's can beat the Yankees. Nobody let Jeffrey Maier or any extended family into the games.

I was joking with a friend of mine who's an O's fan saying that if I were the Yankees, I'd hunt him down and make sure he was at every game in the series.

It was a bad call with an even worse response. It most certainly didn't cost them the game though. If anything, it was all the time sulking about it that cost it for them. The longer that delay went on, the less of a chance that Brian McCann was going to come up with a clutch single with men on 2nd and 3rd.
