NY METS NL EAST CHAMPS!!!!!

Just when you thought the Nationals season couldn't get any worse:

Bryce Harper, Jonathan Papelbon scuffle in Washington Nationals dugout

Papelbon is like a cancer for clubhouses.

I can't stand either one of them. They should've locked them in the bullpen and let them go at it until they killed each other

Magic number is 2. It's been a long and painful 22 years being a Jays fan.

Here in Flushing we feel your pain. Great year for the both of us though

Playoffs are shaping up to be real good. I disagree with the 2-3-2 format though, lower seeded team gets three straight home games? Does not seem right. I think a 2-2-1-1-1 format would be best.

Fly back and forth for single games?

It's been 2-3-2 since 1946, I don't think it's going to change any time soon.

Reds will be watching from the couch

This Rangers/Angels series is going to be awesome...hopefully the Rangers pitching staff can find their groove again because they have been off lately. Even Hamels was pretty bad last night.

Two day breaks between single games, no problem there.

Probably so.

Third consecutive Champs in the NL West. October here we come!

 

[YankeesFanboy]

10,000 wins!

A first for an AL club.

 

[BurningRage]

Yankees clinch wild card spot

 

[mikedanger]

Rangers are in! 1 more to win the division!

 

[Centurion]

Down to the wire now. Just a few days left.

10,000 wins and a wild card spot clinched?

Home field advantage in the NLDS!

DAMN IT!!!

Two day breaks between single games, no problem there.

Hmmm, I don't know. I know why you want to have fairer balance but I think they keep the 2-3-2 format because it works better than other alternatives. The season has become long as it is, if there were 2 day breaks between a few games they'd be playing into mid/late November

 

[PopCultKid]

Big day for the Astros, Angles & Rangers tomorrow. Down to the wire!

 

[PopCultKid]

Home field advantage in the NLDS!

Wait, if LA loses and The Mets win tomorrow, don't we have the tie breaker??

EDIT: Throw the Yanks in that mix too! Wow

 

[WWEJedi]

Hoping the Yankees can have a magical run to win it all... highly unlikely... but, you never know. Go Yanks!!!

My bias prediction would have the Yanks winning it all against the Cubs. If Yanks can not win I am rooting hard for the Cubs.

My smart predictions would have to be....

Astros at Yankees - Yankees

Rangers vs Blue Jays - Blue Jays 3-1

Yankees vs Royals - Royals 3-1

Blue Jays vs Royals - Royals 4-3

Cubs at Pirates - Cubs

Mets vs Dodgers - Dodgers 3-0 (No disrespect to the Mets, I just do not see them getting past two aces)

Cubs vs Cardinals - Cubs 3-2

Cubs vs Dodgers - Dodgers 4-3

World Series
Dodgers vs Royals - Royals 4-2

Hope the Yanks get rid of that bum to, waste of money.
