Fun Facts:
1. The Chicago Cubs are the defending champs and a team that won a World Series has not made it back to the playoffs in back-to-back years since the 2011-2012 St Louis Cardinals. The 2011 Cardinals won the World Series that year.

2. The 2017 Minnesota Twins are the only team in MLB history to reach the postseason following a 100+ loss season.

3. The New York Yankees will attempt to reach the World Series and win their 28th ring. The next team closest to them is the St Louis Cardinals with 11.

4. Since the Cubs ended their drought last year, the Indians now have the longest World Series victory drought, winning their last one in 1948.

5. The Washington Nationals have not won a playoff series since the Walter Johnson days of the 1920s.

Baseball is awful and those facts were not fun.

I added a new one. It should suit a type of person like you.

Baseball is trash though. Worst sport of all the sports.

How the fuck can people enjoy watching a bunch of roided up fatasses standing around for 3 hours.

The only team I care about is the Astros. Would like to see Verlander finally get a ring.

How the fuck can people enjoy watching black people with helmets ram into each other for an egg-shaped ball?

How the fuck can people enjoy watching tall, fragile black people throw a fucking ball into a basket?

How the fuck can people enjoy watching illegals kick a ball around into a net?

How the fuck can people enjoy watching men skate on ice and push a black disc around?

The only team I care about is the Astros. Would like to see Verlander finally get a ring.

Even if he loses, he's still winning cause he's with Kate Upton

I think you swapped the Twins/Indians somewhere in here unless I'm just not reading this right.

Regardless, this should be the year of the Doyers.

Twins vs Yankees today

Joe Mauer needs a playoff win under his belt. He's carried the Twins for a decade now.

WOAH i wonder if they're gonna hit the ball with the bat really hard!!

Well shit.

Repeat of 2004?

Well, Diamondbacks win.  My guesses are very wrong so far.

RIP ROCKTOBER
10-1-17 to 10-4-17

I'll update the thread when I get home on my computer.

Well, Diamondbacks win.  My guesses are very wrong so far.

Not gonna lie, the Dbags scare me more than any other team right now in the playoffs. They've had a stacked offense for years but just never had the pitching.

Now that they have the pitching, they're a legitimate team now.

THEY DID IT THEY DID IT

THEY HIT THE BALL AND IT WENT SUPER FAR, WOOOOOOOW

THEY DID IT THEY DID IT
