Tough way to lose that. It was the right call. The closer just didn't have it tonight. Only had one pitch working.

Not to mention the missed ball error in right field by Trent Grisham. That cost the Brewers the go ahead run. Poor guy, I bet his head is hanging low and he feels like
.
The Brewers fell apart like a cheap suit last night. Front Row Amy must be pissed. I hope the Rays can take the As tonight. It should be an epic battle. Morton is a stud.

The Brewers can't hang their head. Lost the guy who probably would have gotten a second consecutive MVP, and not only didn't throw in the towel, but played even better the final weeks I of the season - almost overcame the Cards to win the division. I tip my hat to them.
That is a tough way to end the season. Losing a 2-run lead with 4 outs to go. I'm proud of the team for getting as far as they did with the injuries and sub-par performances. We have a strong core to build around and next season should be even better.
In all honesty, I don't think they could've hung with the Dodgers. And I don't think the Nats will either. But baseball is a crazy game.
...ought to be 2 of 3...
162 game season ought Not depend on only one game.
It contradicts the nature of the Long Season.
I don’t want to play into November...(unless it’s at Wrigley Field)...so, bringing the season back to 154 games would prevent that...but I’ve never been invited to That meeting.
Full disclosure...the Natinals are one of two MLB teams that I just don’t like.
Go Rays!
Go A’s!

I doubt the owners will agree to the loss of revenue with fewer games (they won't even have single admission double headers). I also don't want to make it too easy for WC teams. Washington is at a disadvantage, since they had to use two starters in one game.
I gotta root for the Nats now. They are one of the few teams, including the Mariners, who have never made it to the World Series. They didn't make it as the Expos and they haven't made it as the Nats. So, Go Nats!

Tough to pick a rooting interest. I like underdogs, so in the AL it's the Twins, As, or Rays. Probably Minnesota, just because.
NL is tougher. Both the Nats and Braves are rivals (although I am impressed by the Braves winning without breaking the banks, and the mix of kids and a few grizzled vets). I can't root for the Dodgers, since they are the NL version of the Yanks, throwing money around. I'm neutral on the Cards.

Have to go for the Rays. That way, when they move to Montreal (sorry @GonePlaid, but MLB and Jeff Loria DID screw Montreal out of a team), at least the team in Montreal will have won a World series.
Yep, I feel bad for the kid, and most of the Brewers. Just don't ever ask me on a moderated forum about Braun or Hader.
Gotta Go Plaid!
I left my Rays’ shirt at home, so I’ll wear my Bernie shirt instead...same shade of blue...

No. Montreal's team will have, but Montreal will never have let out that collective roar that only happens when a city's team wins the World Series. The collective roar can happen several times. I was a part of it in NYC in the 1980s when the Mets beat the Astros to got to the Series and then again after they beat the Red Sox. Seattle let out a similar collective roar after beating the Yankees to get to the ALCS during the Refuse to Lose season. There's nothing like it. Not winning a Super Bowl.

Manager rumor - supposedly Mickie Calloway will probably be sacked by Thursday, and Joe Girardi is the favorite to take his place. Here is one reason why I would love to be a fly on the wall for those discussions. I assume most of you have heard how Brodie Van Wagenen, the GM, would call him and make "suggestions" (including during the game) on player moves. I'm sure if he tried that with Girardi, Joe would tell him where (and how far up) he could stick the phone. It's been reported that Joe would love to return to managing, and would love to do it in NY, but only if he truly is the boss.

So far six managers have gotten axed so far:
- Andy Green, Clint Hurdle, and Brad Ausmus fired,
- Bruce Bochy, and Ned Yost retired.
Phils may let go of Kapler, and I've mentioned Calloway. I think those are the only expected changes, but you never know.
Wow...that almost 20% of all the MLB teams.
