Let's be honest, there's nothing better in sports than an elimination game in baseball.

[charlie and algernon]

I'm listening to the Reds-Giants game on the radio at work and I'm entralled and I have no horse in this fight. Every game now is an elimination, do-or-die game and I'll try to watch or listen to every single one of them.

Bud Selig may be a colossal douchnozzle, but he's got the best postseason in all of sports.

1. Certainly not that one!

And another one on tap tonight.

R.I.P. Reds. What a colossal choke job, to go up 2-0 and then lose the last three at home.

2. Gotta hand it to the Giants

Hell of a comeback.

[Auggie]

8. I don't think the Reds choked. They played a hell of a series.

Losing your ace and having your best hitter lame puts any team at a disadvantage. Even with those deficiencies, the Reds nearly played the Giants evenly. I think the real difference in this game was Bruce Boche -- he out-managed Dusty Baker.

3. Like you, I have no horse in this fight...

But they are addicting...but mainly I'm only watching/listening/following in hopes some team can knock off Satan.

[Jack Rabbit]

4. You mean Wall Street?

Satan is so seventeenth century.

What twentieth century person needs Satan, anyway. We had Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Ceausescu, Saddam, Idi Amin . . . .

6. You have to admit, Joey is a bit seventeenth century!

[Kingofalldems]

5. Nats stay alive!

Werth with a 13 pitch walkoff home run in the ninth.

7. Listening to the DC radio stations, from NPR to WTOP to WTEM-980, they have no idea how to deal

with winning baseball in DC. What is really funny is listening to the local NPR announcers try and talk about baseball!

9. Do or die, Game 5!

Let's GO YANKEES!!!

[bluedigger]

10. Also known as Opening Day in some parts.

11. I hear A-Rod likes WATCHING eliminations games. n/t

12. I think MLB has the worst set-up

I hate 5 game series, especially in a format that later has 7-game series.

One of the best decisions the NBA ever made was going from 5 to 7 for first round match-ups.

[Auggie]

13. I'd like to see MLB return to a 154 game season ...

drop the dumb wildcard playoff game and the second wildcard, adopt a seven-game division series (same as the league and world series), dump the DH, end interleague play, and kick Bud Selig's ass out of baseball.
