Contest: 2015 MLB Playoff Team Auction

No worries. Would be fun to do a march madness one.

great to hear that Piscotty is out of the hospital after last night's knee to the head. Cards catching momentum at the right time.

Just got back to the hotel from a tough 1-0 extra innings Royals loss to the Cubs. Great game though, had a blast!

What a game...was watching it on MLB.tv. There's a handy trick if any of you subscribe to mlb.tv, or nhl game center live. If you download the browser extension, hola better internet, there's no such thing as blacked out games, even in the playoffs. It's essentially a vpn. Set it to Canada for the MLB postseason.

Dodgers and Giants was another great game. Looking forward to tonight's premium pitching match-up.

 

[Wasatch_B]

Tomorrow and Wednesday it gets a little more interesting. Need the Astros to come through on the road, which I believe is a tall order. Keuchel is the type of pitcher that traditionally does well--induces groundballs and is facing a hefty left hand hitting Yankees lineup. Still, I think the Yanks show up with that old man grit and win it.

Such a shame that the Cubs and Pirates are only playing one game--slight lean to the Pirates, but it's so hard to fade Jake.

Dodgers and Mets is also intriguing. Will Kershaw finally get it together in the post season? Best one-two rotational punch.

 

[Wasatch_B]

Thank you, Astros. Tall task against the royals, but you needn't look further than last year's royals to know that anything is possible

 

[Wasatch_B]

Holy Moses. He's taking a welding torch to that stogie.

If someone wants cards, I will make a series wager (a fiver) with them. We can base it on the series odds that will be released tomorrow. Thinking Cards series is a small fav -120 to -130

 

[Wasatch_B]

fiver for fiver if anyone wants Cards.

 

[Lomey]

Let's go Royals!

 

[multi-useless]

Never been so happy to lose a cigar.

LOL, I'll be in the same place if the Cards win.

Funny thing betting against the hometown team, I have something to be happy about no matter what happens...

 

[Wasatch_B]

nice set up, Lomey.
Astros win tonight and they have a great shot to take the series with Keuchel pitching at home game 3.
How strange would it be if the ALCS was Astros and Rangers?

 

[Lomey]

Hold on now, we still got 2 innings and Cueto tomorrow

 

[Wasatch_B]

Cueto is something else.

 

[Lomey]

Cueto is something else.

Love it!

 

[Lomey]

Much needed win by the Royals!

 

[Wasatch_B]

Royals with a critical win, after trailing early. How about that Hosmer hit?
How about the Mets? Best rotation in the playoffs--hopefully Harvey does not have glaring mental issues. Took the Mets @ close to 10-1 to win the W.S. prior to the start of the playoffs. And then there's the Rangers--still hard to believe they are on the verge of sweeping Toronto.
Good stuff all around.
