Exclamation 2025 MLB Playoffs!
So which teams would you like to see meeting up in the League Championships?

I'd like to see the Toronto Blue Jays playing the Detroit Tigers in the AL and the Philadelphia Phillies playing the Chicago Cubs in the NL.

Red Sox out. Anyone but the Yankees.

With the Mets and Guardians out, I'm rooting for the most compelling WS.

Bring on Dodgers - Yankees, Part Deux.

(Yankees -- Phillies would also be a rock fight.)

Brewers/Cubs vs Mariners. I believe the Mariners are the only organization to have not gone to the World Series, the Brewers have only gone once and haven't won one. Whoops, I jumped the gun, the question was asking about the League Championship Series, but I'll stick with my World Series hopefuls.

Since it can't be the Red Sox, and we've still got the Divisional round to go, I hope the Yankees will be eliminated by then, but if they make it to the LCS, someone who can beat them there. I'd like to see the Tigers make a run. In the National League, Phillies/Cubs.

C'mon Yankee haters, wouldn't it be more satisfying to see them trounced by the Dodgers in 4 games instead of 5???

Tigers force game 5 with Skubal ready to start. Probably not what Seattle wanted, but at least they're at home for the game.

I wouldn't want to face Skubie in an elimination game, especially considering that he hasn't even pitched to his regular season level yet this postseason.

Well Yankee fans, in the words of Michael Kay:

"See ya!"

Playoff Kershaw strikes again. I feel bad for him. Why would Dave Roberts bring him back out for the 8th?

Roberts will NEVER learn that Clayton Kershaw and the post season do not mix. This has happened so many times one cannot even recall them all. 6 hits and 3 walks in two innings. They should have done this man a favor and left him off the roster and forced him to quit with dignity. It is truly painful.

To burn innings and save their arms to fight another day.

How demoralizing must it have been for the Jays to know that Yama got better the more times he faced their lineup. It's almost like he's picking up more intel on the batters than the other way around. Take that, Billy Beane!

Also, I think that for the Cy Young and perhaps also for the MVP, they should take the post season into account. Yamamoto is a big game hunter, while Skenes has never pitched a meaningful game. It should matter.

Watched the new Netflix documentary last night about the collapse of the Expos. Great franchise and amazing fan base. Collapsed in large part because there wasn't sufficient money available from the owners to be competitive. The idea that people are complaining about Dodgers management is absurd. Don't have the money to field a competitive team? Sell the team to someone who does. Professional sports franchises in the US right now are among the most valuable assets in the world. If you can't play in that end of the pool . . . go home. No one has to buy a baseball team. The anger should be directed at 9-8 owners who don't even hide the fact that they aren't trying.

Huh?! It's not up to the owners to try to do anything but make money. It's up to the coaching staff and players to try to win.

Especially for Cy young I couldn't disagree more. You're punishing a guy because his team sucks. It makes no sense.

I look at it as rewarding a guy who pitches in big moments. How many of Skenes's regular season innings are worth one of Yamamoto's postseason innings? I'd say it's 20 to 1 in terms of degree of difficulty.

The best players win MVP/Cy Young awards.
The best teams win championships.

ETA - Yamamoto can win WS MVP

That last inning for Yamamoto? Worth 100 of Skenes's.
