Well, since no one else has said anything about this, I'll bring it up. The WWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWindians are at it again, as they defeated the Orioles 3-2 for their 18th straight (against Hellickson, ironically enough @Cactusguy21). How long do you guys think this streak will continue? And speaking of streaks, the Dodgers have now lost 10 in a row, as well as 15 out of their last 16. Will they be able to right the ship in time for the postseason?

Wow...watching the Yankees vs. Twins. Yanks down 3 in the top half of the 1st, but have stormed back for 7-5 lead in the 5th.

Exciting game...

Being a Yankees fan, I had a total bipolar experience last night as a fan.

Enjoying the 2017 playoffs...but I have to say, I really don't like the one game wildcard playoff game. One game just isn't really sufficient to determine the better team. Would rather have fewer teams in the playoffs (maybe 4 instead of 5) and not have a one game wildcard playoff.

For example, the Twins didn't even get a home playoff game. They went and lost at Yankee Stadium...they were hardly in the playoffs before they were out.

I don't think anyone would honestly suggest the Wild Card Game determines who is the better team. It's pure madness, nerves, mayhem and fun. At least that's the intention, I think, and I have to say I buy into it. Yes, it's silly, but it's exciting.

Also, I believe part of the rationale is they don't want to create too many off days for the other teams waiting in the playoffs. Besides, let's face it, two out of three isn't really much better in deciding who is better.

Clevelands pitching and defense really let them down. No way anybody saw that coming. That's playoff baseball for ya. Hats off to the Yankees though

The Wild Card game is sort of a punishment for the top 2 teams who didnt win thier divisions. Its also the final huwwah for the 2 teams in getting into the REAL playoffs. It isnt intended to decide who the better team is, its intended for love sweat and HOME RUNS.
