1. Say what? Donde estas los Mets?

What a waste of $300 million

[True Dough]

7. The broadcast team took umbrage with this:

8. Darling and Hernandez? 86 Mets were the biggest showboats

of all time. They have no room to critique others.

[True Dough]

9. I guess the passage of all those years

leads them to forget.

[chicoescuela]

11. They remember, just hypocritical idiots

I have never liked Darling on the field or in the booth.
Too cool for school

[BOSSHOG]

2. Eagles-Phillies

Am I being greedy?

[chicoescuela]

10. That would be a 'yes', but good luck anyway

3. C'mon Cubbies!

They really flailed in the second half but seem to have gotten their shit together. Fingers crossed!

[Auggie]

4. Tigers at Guardians will be the first game on Tuesday. Bet on it ...

then probably Padres at Cubs, Red Sox at Yankees, Reds at Dodgers

[True Dough]

6. You gotta wonder where the Tigers' heads will be.

After that epic collapse, can they put things together enough to win a short series? We'll know within a week.

14. A week? No...

Tigers players will be booking tee times by Wednesday evening.

5. Hahahaha

NO MUTTS!!!!!

12. I like the home team in each wild card series.

The Reds are hot but I will not pick against the Dodgers at this time of year. I am nervous about the Cubs but as I posted elsewhere, there's reason to hope. The Yankees are experienced and loaded, and Detroit looks really shaky right now. The second round is much harder to predict.

[Morbius]

17. Shaky or not, the Tigers move on.

I got three of four in the round.

13. Most NL series will be on ESPN or TBS

because it's an odd-numbered year. And here we are with MLB-TV.

I can't figure for the life of me why the cable monoliths don't offer a postseason deal.

[WestMichRad]

15. Yeah, really!

It’s back to audio on mlb.tv for me, and day-old tv highlights, since I don’t get any of the cable channels.
Why mlb.tv can’t offer a premium package with ALL games is beyond me. Disappointing!

[Oeditpus Rex]

16. We don't get to watch Dodgers-Giants games, either

We're Dodgers fans, but live in the San Francisco cable coverage area (Santa Cruz). We have a Roku tee vee and an outdoor yagi antenna about 25 feet up with a rotor and a signal amplfier,
So we get a bunch of local and streaming channels, including network affiliates, all for our monthly internet cost. But Big Cable has the sports scene all sewed up, and I'd bet they're slipping a few bucks to Congresscritters for the privilege.
