In the future though if they're going to have a wild card playoff they really should make it the best of 3 games.

(Not saying that's what you're saying, Richard, just making a comment in general. I get it that people are upset that they lost, but they did not lose due to one ump's bad call).
Gotcha, I had just sat down to watch the game and two seconds later 'the call' happened.

I didn't see the whole game, just that play.

I really thing that OGPOs suck.

Back in the 80's the Dodgers won their last three games of the season to force a one-game playoff which they lost.

They won all three games with late inning homeruns and crashed and burned in the PO.

A pal of mine had purchased tickets to the Friday game and concert tickets for Saturday.
I had bought tickets to the Saturday game and when we compared notes, we knew we were going to have to pick the concert or game for Sat night.

But, as the week end series grew closer? They changed the Saturday game time to 10 a.m. so they could get it on the Game of the Week broadcast.

So, we went to the game on Friday night, got hammered, woke up on Saturday about 8, all hung over, went back to the stadium, saw the game, then went to the concert that night.
