The Card of Asshat Franchises would be a good descriptor.

I’ll take two meteorites and give the Giants and Rays byes to the ALCS.

I 100% want the Yankees gone but the Dodgers are bit banged up and I'm not certain I'd rather see the Cardinals move on.

Sounds like the video game "Help Wanted"

I don't think the Cardinals beat the Giants and Brewers.  They had a great run but I think it will end soon enough.

OK, so I didn't notice that threads were already made in Diamond Club (which is where they probably belong) so can the mods delete this one?

Or they can delete mine. We got more action in this forum anyway.

Do the Yankees have more wins against Boston head to head? Is that why they are playing in New York even though both have the same overall record?

Go Boston Go Cards

The game is in Boston. They won the season series 10-9.

Oh, sorry the thread title says BOS@NYY so that's why I assumed.

Yeah, I did that wrong, but now I fixed it.

Cardinals can beat the Dodgers.

Sox are the only team in the post season with a sub .500 record on the road ?

Scherzer vs Wainright Wednesday. That's going to be epic.

Not if Scherzer throws left handed.

He's saving his right arm for game 1 against the Giants.

The dodgers won 106 games with the best run differential in baseball by far. 

Cards have worse run differential in baseball and had a flukey hot streak.

Its not even close.

Lol, stop it. You can't decide whether you'd rather play the Dodgers or the Cardinals? Take a very quick glance over their roster stats and it will make your decision much easier. The Dodgers are a much scarier and far superior team.

I feel bad for the Blue Jays winning 91 games and not getting to play in the playoffs to make room for two lame asshat franchises. 

I just looked at the standings and the Padres finished 79-83. WTF!
