What a day of games! Three were entertaining, but one absolutely went the right way, thank god. Looking forward to see what tomorrow brings! Luckily the schedule is in my favor - I get to watch some mile high marauding and then hopefully some father abuse thereafter. 

Cheers, fellas

Tight game in Philly @JohnS and @MrBirdman.

Even better game tonight - as I told @JohnS last week, my expectation for the Phillies this year are lower than the previous two years. Their pitching beyond Wheeler has been too uneven and their bullpen frequently chokes - both of which were true again tonight yet their offense pulled it out. They really don’t have a decent 4th starter anymore (Suarez has stunk since the break) so game 3 is almost a must win for them to have a shot in the series, I feel.

Hopefully the rest of the series proves as exciting.

It's been great baseball thus far (in the Phillies-Mets Divisional series), that's for sure!

It has been very good baseball. Five lead changes in Royals Yankees game. KC walked home some base runners and that was difference in that game. I thought Mets would win earlier but Philly battled back. Should be a great series!

SD taking one at Dodger Stadium is huge! Let’s go SD!!

I knew the fan bases didn’t like each other but I didn’t realize the bad blood between the players too. A lot of wolfing during the game, and you don’t have to be much of a lip reader to know what Flagerty yelled at Machado after striking him out 🫢.

Profar is a crybaby. He had items thrown at him in SF and called the fanbase the worst in baseball. " sometimes trouble just follows a man" -Josie Wales

Not sure it was Profar being a crybaby that would in itself warrant delaying a playoff for 10 minutes? Fans got out of control and stuff was hurled into the SD bullpen and two guys were arrested on the field. Lots of drink and your down some runs gets the blood going but a few fans can ruin it for sure.

Solid win by the Royals today. It means all four Divisional series are tied up 1-1 a piece. 

There's no such thing as a 'sure thing' in baseball, but you needn't be a rocket scientist to predict that Bobby Witt Jr. is likely to break out of his mini-slump in this series with the Yankees at home in Game 3. I look forward to it.

My sister is going to game 3. Its actually a great feeling knowing we can without his bat!

It's true but he was definitely goading those drunken scrub fans!

That’s rich coming from a Raider fan!!!

Look, Profar is a crybaby, Machado is a a punk ************^*^^^^*^€^****££***** (trying not to get banned) and SD is only good for beautiful weather and a cool urban environment (no offense, D). 

@MrBirdman the Machado vitriol stems from him shunning a massive contract offer from LAD after we picked him up mid-season of his expiring year only to take a lightly better one for a massively worse club. He’s been harassed ever since. 

Great playoffs so far!  God I hope I’m interested past this week…

No offense taken! The Padres road to advancing in the post season will always go through LA. I’ve never seen them this hungry and it’s bringing out the best and worst. Going to be a great couple games as SD has an electric environment. Mike, If we get to game 5 we will have figure out our wager 😀.

This reminds of a April game at Wrigley Field in Chicago. We were sitting near the "Ferris Bueller" seats down the left field line. It was Easter Weekend and the four guys behind me were dressed as nuns. They were really hazing the left fielder and started throwing things at him as the game moved on. By the 7th inning they were smashed. We left early to hit the Cubby Bear and that night I was watching WGN and saw them being escorted out of the stadium!

Just be thankful it wasn’t Philly

Ruh Roh Rodgers!!! The Padres are finally looking like the team they were building a few years back. Crazy.

There's been some amazing Postseason baseball so far. Look forward to all the games tomorrow!
