Incidentally, as the Yankees do better, fans abandon the Mets.

Mets fans also jump ship as they begin to sober up.

Many folks in the MLB offices are sporting some serious wood at the possibility of a Yankees-Dodgers World Series.

Cubs-Yanks probably does better, nationally. Any of the possible match-ups are great for the league, especially if these CS go past 5!

We broke them

Better than LA - NY ?  But it's going to be Houston - LA

Once more, Cubs display their fanatic commitment to win, a subtle but obvious superiority, shown by

But there were other issues, too — the solo homers right-hander Kyle Hendricks allowed to Andre Ethier (who had one previous postseason at-bat) and Chris Taylor, errors from Bryant and reserve outfielder Ian Happ, a dropped third strike that scored a run.

or maybe not.

Uh, maybe not.  The Yanks are showing something.  They must have that IT factor Boswell talked about.  Or maybe it's just the hitting and that bullpen.

And there went our ex-Nat sighting. Farewell, Brad P.

[NatNasty]

We could use a Justin Turner.  He's been incredible.

The guy the have with Darling now is worlds better than the stiff we got stuck with

[Mathguy]

The change may be due to the criticism

They had two different crews for the NLDS. Did they just combine them?
They all sound the same to me after a while.

I thought Ernie Johnson did a fine job.

I thought Ernie Johnson did a fine job.

I thought his voice had as much personality as a piece of dry toast, may work for basketball but I thought it was dreadful for calling a baseball game.

[welch]

A lot of solid hits against Quintana. Now 3 - 0.

[welch]

Grand slam by Hernandez in the 3rd inning. What about those unbeatable Cubs? How can this be?

[Slateman]

Dodgers are good

[Mathguy]

Nats wore Cubs out, just like they wore out the Dodgers last year

They wore me out both years--that's for sure.

[Mathguy]

I'm surprised LA leaves Kershaw in there

[Slateman]

Nats wore Cubs out, just like they wore out the Dodgers last year

Lol, no. The Dodgers are just much better and  the Cubs aren't that good.

Dodgers should pull Kershaw after the 5th and see if he can be ready for Game 1

[skippy1999]

I'm happy for Kershaw, hope they win it all.  Not happy about having to look at Justin Turner's disgusting beard for another week

[Mathguy]

Still rooting for Houston here

How is Turner any worse than Werth's beard ?

I'm happy for Kershaw, hope they win it all.  Not happy about having to look at Justin Turner's disgusting beard for another week

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I'll bet he has pizza toppings from 2016 in there

I'm happy for Kershaw, hope they win it all.  Not happy about having to look at Justin Turner's disgusting beard for another week
