4 teams faced elimination tonight. 3 of them avoided it.

So long Twins. :(

The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

I really thought this Twins team would do better (as in, at least win one game), but they just... fell apart. Hard to believe, especially that they only scored 7 runs over those three games.

Hey, they made history! First 100+ win team to get swept in the division playoffs! And they extended their record-setting consecutive loss streak in postseason play!

Blame UrinatingTree. He picked Astros-Braves for the World Series. And Houston is one game from choking to Tampa Bay.

Oh I’m definitely blaming Tree on the bravos losing. Though the veterans really did shit the bed in game 4 and 5. We had it twice in game 4 but did jackshit with it. Twice we could have had added 4 runs and would have won the game 8 to 5. And be playing the nats.

Ah well at least there’s still Soccer and b-ball to look forward too. Also NHL, and my team will most likely win that.

My condolences to the Braves. You guys had a good year, and I honestly didn't really expect that we would take this series. And then the Dodgers lost and iced the cake for me! We could still very easily lose to the Nats, but I think we have a better shot against them than the Dodgers.

Now if someone would just eliminate those pesky Yanks, that would be the cherry on top of this postseason.
