I don't endorse loafing, but it seems the chances are just as high you pull a hamstring running hard vs the outfielder dropping a fly ball. Unless you hit it to Napoli. |

The Hall of Fame is full of guys who didn't always run out easy grounders and pop-ups. Most of the time, the player is running hard enough to get there if an error is committed.Plus, Harper has like a 10+ WAR this season. It's not his fault these games are meaningless to the Nats. |

Do you consider the wild card game as making the playoffs or even the postseason? |

I do. I don't like it, but I consider the top 5 in each league in the playoffs. No play-in games though. |

It's playoffs but it kinda sucks. I have no expectations that the Yanks well beat the Astros in the AL Wild Card game presented by Budweiser, but at least they earned a shot this year. It really sucks for the Cubs and Pirates. Both could go far but one will get quickly bounced. |

One thing I'm against is the champagne shower after winning the play-in game. I'm also against it after winning the division series. You can get one after earning a playoff spot, winning a pennant, and winning the World Series. I'd be willing to throw out the first two since the other major sports don't seem to do it unless a championship is won, but I'm not entirely sure on that one. |

Winning the play-in game is technically earning the playoff spot though. |

ok, then I guess that's where we disagree. I don't think you should celebrate when you clinch a spot in the play-in game presented by Budweiser. |

Also, gotta root for Astros and Pirates to advance. Otherwise, the Rangers are gonna get the shittiest start times. |

I don't really think they should either, but it makes sense that they do. It's a long season and playing well enough for a shot when 20 teams are going home is worth blowing off some steam. If the play-in game presented by Budweiser means you earn the wild card, then any celebrating should be held off til you've won the game and you now get a 5 game set against someone. It would also make sense that no one celebrates til the championship is secured. This should be Rob Manfred's #1 priority. I think we're on the same page here, somey. I think. I'm not sure what my point is, to be honest. |

Of course, each of these 10 teams got those #PostseasonIsOurs T-shirts, so MLB just encourages this shit. |

I didn't stay up for the whole game. I saw the first hit and thought "welp, it's not gonna get any better than this!". I checked out around 9:15 or so. I dunno how far in the game it was. It was before the lights went out, I think. |

I made it thru 11 innings but got sleepy. I don't have a rooting interest this year (I don't hate the Mets), but I think I'd like to see the Royals win because their door is closing. The Mets could easily get back there the next few years if those pitchers stay healthy. |

That may have been the best short-series WS I've seen. The Royals were a lot of fun to watch. Eric Hosmer has balls the size of church bells. I normally don't care either way about the Mets, but I started to root against them. It was fun watching them kick the ball around the field. Matt Harvey is a douche. |

There is a thread on Angelswin about whether or not they pick up David Murphy's $7 million option for next year. He hit .283 with a .739 OPS for the season. I like the guy, but no way would I do that. There is another thread about Mike Maddux being available. It just reminds me that even though a lot of dumbasses have left message boards for Facebook and Twitter, there are plenty of morons still a-postin'. But not here. All of you are smart. |

ESPN's Keith Law has posted a ranking of farm systems. He has the Angels farm system at dead last, and says it is the worst he has ever seen. I can't tell you how happy this makes me. This is part of the fucking ESPN insider thing that requires a subscription, so I can't post a link. This is Hoob, and I hate the Angels. And ESPN. |

Only $85 for a single team package. I'm still buying the $110 package cuz I like to look in on games when there's a no-no going on or something. I'll also pay the extra $10 to avoid blackouts so I don't have to listen to Tag when the Yankees play the Rangers. |

Many fans have a team that they hate. I have mine, and they got swept today. Pedro Moura @pedromoura 3m3 minutes ago The Twins walked off on the Angels, 3-2 in 12 innings. The Angels were swept by a team that had not won until Friday. They are 5-7. |
