Come shed a tear

[raulus]

There is no joy in tinseltown, for the mighty Dodgers have fallen to the lowly Friars.

[RCMcKenzie]

I want the Astros to win the World Series. I'm not worried about the Guardians, but Philly and San Diego look really good. The NLCS should be fun.

[Kenny Cole]

That 7th inning was absolutely brutal. Hindsight is 20-20, but I wonder if Roberts regrets taking Anderson out. He was dealing. The Dodgers' bullpen, not so much. Oh well, I suppose I pull for the Padres now.

[raulus]

I’ll just put this here…

San Diego Padres!!!!!

[brianp-beme]

Yes indeed, the San Diego-ose has landed. Watch out Phillies, you are the next stop on the Padres migratory path to the World Series.

Melvin >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Roberts

I agree with Olbermann's assessment. Yet another reason for me to watch old game TV broadcasts and listen to OTR games. I also think Dave Roberts is soon to be done in LA and Boone will be also after the Yankees are eliminated by Cleveland.

[brianp-beme]

I have to admit, I do prefer the 8 team playoff system MLB previously had in place (with just one wild card team per league). Now with 12 teams, this is coming dangerously close to the NBA or NHL, where your team only has to avoid downright mediocrity to not make the playoffs.

Hmm. Guardians ain't eliminating anybody, Boone is not going anywhere, and.... Guardians is such a crummy name, announcers wont even say it.

It's easy to play arm chair quarterback with regard to a baseball game.

I was happy to see Anderson get pulled after 86 pitches and dominating the Pads. It was good to see Kahnle come in. I thought Roberts was going to bring in Evan Phillips for the 7th. I figured he was going to use his high leverage reliever at that time. Woulda, shoulda, coulda - glad he didn't!

I doubt that anyone outside of Texas is rooting for the Astros. Go Padres!

Since you won't be wearing your Dodgers jersey, can I use it to wipe my ass?

Good riddance!!!!

[arcadekrazy]

I have to say, since so many of the “favorites” have been thus far eliminated, this should make for an interesting post season.

Padres the Kings of No World Series titles but many band wagon riding fans. Don't fall off.

While I’m not a Padres fan, my second favorite team is whoever is playing the Dodgers on any given day. This week, it happened to be the Padres.

[BobbyStrawberry]

Seeing the Dodgers and Yankees booted from the postseason in the same weekend is OK with me! Let's go Indi-Guardians!

[campyfan39]

As a Dodger fan I find it hard to cheer for them with Roberts as manager. He messes incessantly with the line ups, takes out hot pitchers because of analytics, etc.

I mean how many times can you have the "best" roster and lose until you get called on it?

I'd like to see the Phillis win it all now. Padres are too "look at me" for my taste, especially with Soto.

It’s a pity they couldn’t go down on the same day.

I was having delusions of grandeur with grand designs to post this quote:

[cornhusker]

Pills are tearing it up on their way to play the Yankees. That will be a series

[chalupacollects]

And the Padres are playing this well without Tatis!

[commishbob]

As someone who doesn’t follow the game very closely these days I have to say yesterday was pretty amazing to follow. The tension in that Seattle-Houston game was off the charts (but all those strikeouts ). Hard to image how those Mariners fans must have felt sitting through 18 innings only to see your team eliminated.

Nice to see Machado and Mancini still in the hunt for a ring. Go (Ex)Orioles!!

I never have seen such an awful hitting game. Players swinging at anything and for the seats. Even Altuve in one at bat swung at 3 pitches that were way outside the plate. I can't understand why players no longer know where the strike zone is. I watched the whole game and you really can't say the pitching was good. The hitters just stink.

From what I have been seeing in the Yankee Cleveland series the strikes zone has been a tad bit erratic not sure if this is global and accounts for the free swinging?

Washington fans felt the same in 2014, only (much) colder.

Yankees may not get past Cleveland.

If they do the Astros await. They wouldn't get past them.

Altuve didn't even hit in the Seattle Series and they swept a very good Seattle team.

Once his bat comes to life, they will be unstoppable.

[Bcwcardz]

Not trying to be snarky but there has been nothing but complaints about the playoffs this morning. I think it’s because 2 huge fanbases got eliminated in LA Atl and NY is on the verge.
