Dodgers (Chris Taylor) walk-off 2-run slam to beat St. Louis, 3-1. (I was hoping Albert Pujols would do that just to really stick it to his old team! )

I can't wait to watch LAD & SF in the NLDS starting Friday. Should be a really good series, I think.

Good series, my money on Giants but spectacular season either way.

Pujols "stuck it" to his old team years ago, when he turned down their offer of $210 million/10 yrs and went to the Angels. The Cardinals were one of very few teams willing to take a chance on him when they drafted him. They were probably fortunate that he did turn them down, but it is not like he left under bad circumstances.
I'm with you on the next series, should be a good one. Love 'em or hate 'em, there is nothing like Dodgers/Giants and Yankees/Red Sox matchups.

The first round is Best of 5 Games, right? Is it 2 highest seed home games, followed by 2 lower seed home games followed by a 5th (if necessary) higher seed home game?

I prefer the way the NHL does the playoffs.

I know in the Best of 7 Games it's 2-3-2, which I feel favors the lower seeded team.

Yes, best of 5 for the first round.

Cardinals got off to a great start with a dinger in the 1st but the Dodgers caught them in the 4th with a dinger of their own. Stayed that way until the fat lady sang in the 9th with a two run homer by the Dodgers Cris Taylor. My cousin's wife will be so sad today, I'm glad I won't be around her to listen to her moan and carry on.

Watching the Cardinals get knocked out of the playoffs was worth staying up late to see

Live from Truist Park. Your Atlanta Braves take on the LA Dodgers in the NLCS.

Greg! Glad to hear from you. Congratulations - there’s nothing like the atmosphere at an MLB playoff game. Hope the Braves can take it all.

I agree
Been too long Greg.

Hey Greg!
I was lookin' at a certain Case Moose the other day and wondered about you. Noticed you were still checking in but with no posts. Miss the old posts when you would check n from all over the country. I'm sure you like staying close if I remember correctly. Don't be a stranger.

Top of the 8th & it's tied, 2 - 2

Surprised to learn the Braves hadn't been in an NLCS game in 20 years.

Well we got one in the bag. That was some more exciting. Go Braves!

Those two grannies right off the bat sealed the deal. Didn't take the stuffin' out of the Dodgers but sure made it a long hill to climb.

They were there last year, losing to the Dodgers in 7 after having a 3 games to 1 lead.

Some announcer must have his stats mixed up. Maybe 20 years since a NLCS championship then?

Yeah I think that guy said it was the first home game in a NLCS that the Braves had played in in 20 years.I believe the games were held in Texas in the year of Covid.

Unbelievable! The Bravos walk off again tonight in the ninth.

Nice game!

Thanks for the clarification, gsmith. I knew I heard something to that effect.

Boston is getting a little rough on the Astros tonight.

Aww, poor babies. At 10:05 CDT it's Astros 3 - Boston 11 in the top of the 8th.
I think this game is ovah.

Yup

I didn't like the way that 1st inning went for the Braves. Mistakes will kill you in these games.

Well we made a couple of boo-boos but we're still in the game. Go Braves!
