Small consolation for this Giants fan.

but this is why they play the games.
Same deal over in the AL. In terms of talent, the Astros are head and shoulders above the Rays, but Game 5 tonight will decide it all.

(17,303 posts)6. What???
After playing 162 regular-season games you want the "boys of summer" to add two more playoff games? They'll collapse of exhaustion!
Seriously, that regular season could stand being shortened a little anyway.

Baseball is such a random game they play a long season to weed out the pretenders now there is a 1 game wild card. A pretender could make it to the World Series under this format. The post season is the biggest reason why I don't watch baseball anymore.
