OK, this is just crazy.

[Spidey]

Nice Lucroy.

 

OK, Schafer and Ishikawa, shut me up about LH/LH matchups.

 

EDIT: Great AB Schafer. Sure would have loved a pinch hitter here.

 

Nice.... REAL NICE!!!!

[owbc]

I don't even know what to say about this anymore.

[adamb100]

This team is fun to watch again!

[razzzorsharp]

WOW. What an inning. Imagine what the Braves board looks like.

WOW. What an inning. Imagine what the Braves board looks like.

 

Probably a bit like this board did during the NLCS.

[BrewerTerp]

when do we have to wake up from this dream?

[jjfanec]

This team is really fun to follow right now!

 

Only bad news of the night - Dodgers score 2 in the first and i guess Philly winning again too

Some fear that they may blow their WC lead again...

OK, I'm stealing this from Hawk Harrelson: Don't stop now boys.

Philly already won, but I'm ok with that. Better to have two teams keeping the pressure on the leaders. As was mentioned in the optimism thread, if the Brewers do what it takes to make the playoffs, it's highly unlikely that the Phillies will be able to match that. Everyone is chasing the Cards and Dodgers.

[pebadger]

I'd get excited, but I know none of this is really happening because all I've heard about in the national media is the Phillies.

[Polish Falcons]

Yovani leads all MLB in Quality Starts.

[Oxy]

OK, this is just crazy.

 

That almost sounds like you might be excited

Agreed. Just sucks that the Dodgers have a good shot of winning tonight. It's going to be very tough to pick up ground if two teams are ties for that last playoff spot.

I've never stopped watching, unlike most of my friends. I just like good baseball.

[Baldkin]

Hanging around... hanging around.... team has alligator blood.

[jerichoholicninja]

The Cardinals play 4 games in LA this weekend. What's the best scenario? Dodgers take 3 of 4 or sweep?

[owbc]

Speaking of good baseball, the crowd in Baltimore is really into the game. Those fans are hungry like we were in 2008.
