Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

ehh...Rangers fans are still crapping their pants. It wasn't that long ago that we were 1 strike away from a world series win and couldn't do it.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

That was not even close. This ump is terrible.

I'm watching the other game. Home teams could be 0-6 if nothing major happens.

 

[JenniferS]

Well, darn!

 

[Andrew C]

Well, that is that! Sorry @JenniferS

I wonder if the extra off days hurt the division winners. The wild cards have been beating them the last couple of years under this new format.

Off to vote.
I have a bad feeling that isn't going my way either.

Just got off the phone with my sister - Mom is in the hospital with a possible stroke.

Sympathy like, hopefully your mom gets better soon.

I said the word that follows "bull".

I'm guessing it was either "fighter", "dog", or "pen".

Just make sure your country is running smoothly so we can move there when our candidate loses next year.

You are very correct on this.

And I would certainly not want to be the 1st Wild Card team with the better record hosting the 2nd Wild Card team in the one game matchup. After this week's results, the hosting teams (a.k.a. The teams which would automatically be in the divisional round during the old system) are 2-6 in those games.

You're all for Trump, aren't you?

The man really left an impression on me.

Spoiler

I'm not going to say whether it is a positive or negative impression. I'm not getting left in a deli again.

Thinking about this very good point you brought up, I did a little more digging up numbers.

Interestingly enough:

3 of the winning Wild Card teams have lost in the divisional round.
3 of the winning Wild Card teams have won in the divisional round.
2 of the winning Wild Card teams have won the LCS (both last season: KC, SF).
Only 1 Wild Card team that has made it to the LCS has lost the LCS (Cardinals, 2012)
So far, only the SF Giants have been able to win the World Series via the Wild Card route under the new system.
The Pittsburgh Pirates remain the only team to host a Wild Card game 3 years in a row. (Record: 1-2)
The Miami Dolphins have never hosted a MLB Wild Card game. (Record: 0-0)
No team that has lost the Wild Card game has gone on to win the World Series that season.

It'd be interesting to see the Dolphins win the World Series.

I'm expecting the Raiders to make it. They already have a baseball diamond set up incase they get bored with the other game. So they must be considering it.

The advanced polls were lined out the door today where I am. That's not usually the case here. I think it's a good sign that people are actually voting.
