The Washington Nationals, all the way.

Seriously? I'm leaning towards a Reds - A's WS. It would be a nice change. If the Orioles get by their wild card must win game, I wouldn't mind them either.

Yes, with the O's my second choice.

I want Bay Area World Series, Krust wants a Beltway Expos-Orioles Series.

I'm a Cardinals fan, so picking what team to cheer for is pretty easy.

Well the Cards win the NL wild card game. Braves played some shoddy defense, but at a key moment, the umpires screw up again. May have cost them a stunning comeback.

Must have been a scab ump.

At least Larry got a hit in his last at bat, even though it was a gift from the ump.

I still hate the Braves for some reason... maybe because they had the Expos number, or their boring manager Bobby Cox, or Jane Fonda...I really don't remember

They also were gifted a 4 strike at bat (and the 4th strike was a 2 run HR), in the 2nd inning... but people only remember the call that went against them in the 8th inning.

I didn't see the one you are referring to, but I saw the one in the 8th. It was awful and at such a key moment. Remember I'm not even a Braves fan.

In the 2nd inning Ross swung and missed at what should have been strike 3, but the ump made a very late call for Time. (so late that the pitch was already on the way, and Ross didn't hear it and swung anyway).

It would have been strike 3 and the end of the inning. Instead the pitch didn't count.

The next pitch, Ross hits a 2 run HR

Yep.

Even a hater like you though must admire their glorious run of success for the most part since 1991. Didn't they win thirteen straight division titles that were handed out?

Nice win by the O's last night.

It happens, they drew a team they didn't play well against during the season. Your Expos got the split.

Talk about a no-name team. Who are these guys?

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012

My older son asked me if I was cheering for the Nats. because they used to be the Expos. No, not really. I just like their team and manager.
