AL 1st Round Playoffs

[ashie62]

The Twins effectively got beat on Bregman's throw to nip Sano by a nanosecound. It was the first inning, basesloaded and two outs. Ouch.

I can't see the Indians giving up the number of home runs in bunches that it'll take to keep the MFYs in their series.

Well then maybe he can tell us why they apparently started Justin Bieber rather than Shane Bieber on the mound tonight.

[whippoorwill]

Was not amused. Said to tell you Justin Beiber would be better than any Met!

Twinkies head to the 9th down 2-1

That's two runs scored in 17 innings and it's not like Houston is running Cole & Verlander out there this year.



A loss here would extend their playoff losing streak 0-18 and make them the first team to go home even before some of the others play their first game

[Frayed Knot]

Astros 3 -- Twins 1 ... and it's 18 straight.



That simply defies all logic.

[Benjamin Grimm]

That must really suck for the Twins fans.

[Frayed Knot]

You betcha!

Rays dispose of the Buffalo Legacies in two games.

Await the winner of NYY/CLE, Game 2 of which is being delayed due to storms of biblical proportion.

This McKenzie kid for Cleveland has got it going on. About 8 feet tall, afro, 160 pounds, half-unbuttoned jersey top, tiny mitt, over the top delivery

4 hours 50 minutes, and that doesn't even include the 1:16 of weather delays. It is said to be the longest 9-inning game, regular or post-season, in MLB history.

I'm sure that, outside of a select number of avid but sleepy MFY & Injun fans, the end of this game was likely witnessed by a nation of dozens.



Manfred (and Selig) must be so proud.

[ashie62]

I believe that White Sox rookie Luis Robert is the real deal. So many now from Cuba disappoint but this kind belongs.

[Frayed Knot]

Oakland advances, will face Houston.

Nice recovery after nearly being no-hit in Game 1
