Major League Baseballs League Division Series's (Poll)

Pick four teams, but only one from each of the matchups (see first post in this thread)
Toronto Blue Jays vs.
New York Yankees
Seattle Mariners vs.
Detroit Tigers
Philadelphia Phillies vs.
Los Angeles Dodgers
Milwaukee Brewers vs.
Chicago Cubs

Which four teams will advance to their League Champions Series?

The series is:

  1. Toronto Blue Jays vs. New York Yankees
  2. Seattle Mariners vs. Detroit Tigers
  3. Philadelphia Phillies vs. Los Angeles Dodgers
  4. Milwaukee Brewers vs. Chicago Cubs

The winner in each series will be the first to win three games.  Home teams are listed first.

Talk to the hoof!

Holy crap.  I had no idea that “my” previous home state team was in the playoff picture.  So go Mariners.  Sorry Ed.   However, I don’t have any true blood stake in this, so I will be happy for you if the Tigers win.

There is something special about Yankee fans chanting names in the cold in late October.  So that would be cool too.  Aaron Judge
you gotta do it in the postseason to be a great Yankee.

And if Al says he is a Cubs diehard, I’m all in.

I actually no longer watch baseball. I used to be a big diehard Cub fan. For I few years I attended most of the home weekend games. Bleacher seats were very cheap back then (80's)

Similar story here.  Grew up as an avid Cincinnati Reds fan during the Big Red Machine era.  Down to two sports passions. Ohio State Buckeye football (I am an alum, so don’t hold it against me if you are a hater) and harness racing.  LIV golf and it’s on going impact on the PGA has ruined that outlet for me.

I, of course, hated the Big Red Machine. I was at Wrigley the day Rose tied Cobb. Memory a bit foggy, but there was  a lengthy rain delay, with most of crowd leaving. I can't remember if he tied record before or after rain delay. He actually stayed in the game and had two more chances to break record. Everyone figured he would have sat game out since next game was in Cincy. Game ended up being called because of darkness. (pre-lights)

I was also at the sort of first night game 8/8/88. Game was rained out after a few innings. I returned the next night for official first game. Wasn't the hoopla as the previous night.

I conceded to Anthony and ordered a Starbucks gift card per the terms of our bet. 

 

Yankee fans normally know no quit.  So, call me a loser.

LOL!

The Jays were the better team this season.  They couldn't beat them in the regular season... and they couldn't beat them in the playoffs—hats off to them.  Let's go (NY) Giants!!
