MLB Playoffs 2017 OT:It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I think the Astros will pose a greater threat than the Indians. Yeah, the Indians got really hot, but they were kind of middling for most of the year. The Astros were consistently at the top of the league for months.

Either team could definitely win, but the Astros will be a greater challenge IMO.

To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand the Indians. The pitching is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the pitches will go over a typical batter’s head. There’s also Corey’s nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these pitches, to realise that they’re not just dirty- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike the Indians truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn’t appreciate, for instance, the humour in Corey’s existential catchphrase “Those are things you'll probably look back on after the fact and not during the middle of it” which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev’s Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I’m smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Terry Francona’s genius wit unfolds itself at their ball parks. What fools.. how I pity them.

And yes, by the way, i DO have an Indians tattoo. And no, you cannot see it. It’s for the ladies’ eyes only- and even then they have to demonstrate that they’re within 5 IQ points of my own (preferably lower).

It's rare that the team with the best record wins. Also, Indians peaked too soon

Yep, it's like I said before the regular season ended, the AL record meant nothing. They definitely peaked too soon while we had injuries and all of them came back just in time for the playoffs. Maybe losing best record was what we needed.

The nba needs to adopt mlbs playoffs including wild cards, would make regular season mean something

Yeah, seriously. This whole "Race for 8th" is just as meaningless as the regular season NBA MVP. 1st Rounds also don't mean anything anymore when there are way more 4 game sweeps than competitive series.

no u.

fucking hell. you would think getting older I would say "been there, done that" no, this one feels good. so goooooood.we slayed a giant.
the Baby Bombers, a team that's in rebuild mode, retool whatever you wanna call it, they went down 0-2 and just got up off the floor and went to work.
like I've been saying all year, this team is just fun to watch. no matter what happens this has been fun.

NOW ONTO THE ALCS!!!
