Great job by the Phillies

Another good season pissed away by the Cardinals.

Can we start the playoffs in August next year? Because lately St Louis forgets how to win around mid-September.

Sorry to see the careers of Yadi and Albert end this way.

Pitchers and catchers report February 14th.

Go Cards

I was rooting for the Jays. Like the Cards, they were unceremoniously swept from the opening round of the playoffs.

Such a long season to see it all go down the drain in two games (better than the one game that the wild card playoff used to be, I guess).

Who are you cheering for now, Polack MSgt? I know your heart won't be with any time like it is with St. Louis, but you must have some preference.

I always like to see a small market underdog team prevail, so I gotta go with Cleveland now. They're up against the mighty Yankees next. At least NY's bullpen is a bit suspect. Maybe the Guardians can exploit that.

I have family in Philly and have been to several games at Citizens Bank ballpark. Always had a blast, even wearing STL gear. But not this year...

They're not dead to me but they are in a coma for the 2022 playoffs

I would like to see the Gaurdians make a run in the AL.that franchise deserves a good run

But the remaining NL teams aren't getting any love from me

$245,190,714 total payroll vs. $68,041,274.

Guardians need all the positive vibes they can get. Thanks.

I haven’t paid the Phillies much attention this year. Hey! They’re still playing.
