The Royals managed to win game two against the Orioles and a chance to face the Yanks in the ALDS. The Tigers also won their wildcard series against the Astros and will see the Guardians in the ALDS.

The Padres are up 5-2 after five innings in game two against the Braves.
And.... the Padres won 5-4 and will see the Dodgers in the NLDS

 

[olbriar]

The Guardians swamped the Tigers in game one. The Royals and Yanks game was more entertaining than I figured. We lost naturally but it was back and forth the entire game. The Mets took care of the Phillies and the Padres are up on the Dodgers 5-3 in the middle of the 4th.

 

[olbriar]

The Dodgers came back and took game one in their NLDS game against the Padres. I've been pulling for the Padres all season. I hope they can come back to take the series.

great game. at least my boys in Blue and their bats came alive.....unlike last year where no could hit the ball.

 

[olbriar]

They played a good game. Winning game one doesn't win a series but it definitely puts the pressure to win on the other team.

i think the chances are when winning game 1 in a best of 5 series is 75% ir something like that......so the odds are better if you win game 1. and thank God my Boys in Blue did. it is going to be a heavy weight fight this whole series. gonna be fun to watch. i'm gonna have to wear my Dodgers game jersey again. i have not washed it since they won the previous 3 game series with the Padres a few weeks ago. i probably will not wash it during playoffs!!!

The Phillies beat the Mets today to even their series at one win each. The Padres are leading the Dodgers 3-1 in the middle of the third.

They got their bats out and put up 10 runs to the Dodgers 2. Both NLDS games are tied.

 

[olbriar]

Game two in and ALDS was played today with the Tigers shutting out the Guardians 3-0 and the Royals beating the Yanks 4-2. Both the American and the National leagues are in a tie for their divisions with a possible three more games to play.

@olbriar , your boys seemed to have stepped up their game.

@olbriar , your boys seemed to have stepped up their game.

I don't see them taking the Yanks. Their pitching is weak and for the most part their sticks are quiet. They have speed and play a decent D. To win their ALDS they need the sticks that got them in post season to step it up and not disappear... Should I mention Bobby Witt Jr's zero hits so far??? I personally don't think they stand a chance to move on... but I'll be rooting.

 

[Bearsyzf]

I'm just hoping our game doesn't turn into a fight 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

 

[olbriar]

If it does, it will be the Yankees fault... bwahahaha.... Just kidding.

 

[olbriar]

The Phillies now lead the Mets by a game and the Padres are up a game on the Dodgers in the NLDS games. The third games in the ALDS will be played tomorrow.

 

[olbriar]

The Tigers won game 3 today against the Guardians to lead their series 2-1. The Yankees took game three and now lead their series against the Royals 2-1.

 

[olbriar]

The Mets won their series against the Phillies and will face either the Padres or the Dodgers that are now tied at 2-2. The Tigers and the Yankees lead their series and could eliminate the Guardians and the Royals in today's game four in the ALDS games.

 

[olbriar]

The Guardians won game four against the the Tigers forcing a game five in Cleveland. The Yanks seem to be in control of game four In KC. Leading the series 2-1, a Yankees win will end the Royals season. After 7 it's 3-1 Yanks.

 

[olbriar]

The Yanks beat the Royals in game four and move on to face either the Guardians or Tigers in the ALCS. I didn't at all expect my boys to stack up against the Yankees. I don't thing the Royals fans in the stands were expecting a win. I don't think the team had aspirations of a victory either. But hey, they did well to earn a chance to play in the series. Considering the Royals were the joke of MLB last year.. I'm happy with this season.

 

[Clementine_3]

They did will for themselves really. Damn Yankees though. Ugh. Pulling for Cleveland but Detroit wouldn't kill me either.

 

[olbriar]

I think the Guardians will be the better match but I'm with you... damn Yanks anyway.

 

[olbriar]

Well spit! Not that I hate on the Dodgers but they just sent the Padres home. Now that's a bummer. The Dodgers will face the Mets in the National League Conference Series. The best of seven games will put the winner in the World Series. The American league will put the winner of game five between the Guardians and the Tigers in their conference series to face the waiting Yankees.

 

[Clementine_3]

Gotta go with the Mets and Guardians, Cleveland going all the way.

 

[olbriar]

Gotta go with the Mets and Guardians, Cleveland going all the way.

I like the way you think. I'd love to see the Guardians take the Mets in the series. I so don't want to watch a Dodger Yankee series.

 

[olbriar]

The Guardians eliminated the Tigers today and will face the Yankees in the American conference games. In the best of seven the winner will see the Dodgers or the Mets in the World series.
