I had hoped to do something more interesting here and explain who will win and why, but I feel like I have been in meetings all day today - and not the fun meetings where I can goof off, but the kind where I get called on to talk, so I have to pay attention. So, all I'll do is give you my worthless predictions:
Brewers in 5 games.
Cubs in 3 games.
Red Sox in 4 games.
White Sox in 4 games.
NOTE: no science was harmed during the making of these predictions.

TBS hot corner
If you want to watch the game from four camera angles with only crowd noise, check it out.
now if only this internet thing would dispense soft-serve ice cream
it would be perfect!

i wish they'd replace the dugout camera with a wide view of the field.
i have NO idea what happens to the ball after the batter makes contact.
Everybody's a jerk. You. Me. This jerk.
yeah, but you'll know how Jimmy Rollins reacts to it.
isn’t that more important?

He's a gleaner!
Hahahaha, stretching to make impressionist references is so hip.

are you a lamer?

the top right is delayed for the computer animation of the pitch
it is off from the other 3 cameras.

Can Fox do this?
I swear I’d watch that instead of listening to Tim McCarver.
"Aio, quantitas magna frumentorum est."
This reminds me of when the TV crews went on strike in Canadia...
The managers were able to cover cameras, but didn’t do commentary for the Canadian Football League games, and they got better ratings, though the CFL bitched about it.
But I’d definitely prefer not to hear most announcers.
I think we overmeet as a society.
i watched baseball on ESPN Deportes when i was in Cuba
and i had a tough time following it, because the whole screen can’t be on TV, so there is something going on that you can’t see.

Um
can I take back my prediction? The Brewers might not get a hit today.

Milwaukee hits lefties well, but Hamels has reverse platoon splits.
And it looks like his changeup is working.

Chutley puts the Phils on the board
with a 2-run double that Cameron just couldn’t reach. The Weeks error looms large.

and dropped teh ball

Guallarado is done
stick a fork in him.

He probably doesn't have much left
61 pitches already, and he’s probably on a low-pitch limit since he’s just returned.

did he lose it?

single in right field
a solid single by that little lil piece of shit Corey Hart/

I like these non-overlapping games...
but I thought they always scheduled at least two at the same time?

The road grey uniforms of the Dodgers are very confusing
especially when they wear the blue long-sleeve shirt underneath and the red numbers.

WS
Im shooting for a Cubs/Red Sox WS, i think that would be very interesting. I dont care much for the CA teams. The Rays and Brewers are interesting underdogs….but at the end of the day Im looking for a clash of the titans.
Plus i’ll be in BOS in 10 days, with a REDS hat!
Why...
…did they not have classes like this at my college?

onu offers a baseball history course
it covers the history of the sport, they have a couple of history profs, a cultural historian, sociologist, geographer, etc.

are you serious?
can you people actually be rooting for the Dodgers?
Remember ye not Steve Garvey? Ron Cey? Fat Tommy? Kirk Freakin’ Gibson? Pedro Guerrero?
Back in the days when we only had two divisions, every Reds fan knew that the Dodgers are the source of all that is vile and rank in the universe.
I never trusted Kal Daniels.
you all are wondering
why Dusty is, well, Dusty.
It’s very simple. He’s a Dodger. Once a Dodger, always a Dodger.
Some people (like Jeff Kent) were Dodgers even before they were Dodgers.
Sorry folks. Give me the Cubs in this one.
I'm not rooting for the Dodgers, as I can't stand them.
However, I hate the Cubs even more.

I'm rooting for the Dodgers in this series
For the same reason I’m voting for Obama – lesser of two evils. At least if the Dodgers win I don’t have to hear about it from 4,000 drunken louts six times next year.

That's because the Reds were the only team around at the time.

Doesn’t he look familiar to you guys?

Greg Maddux in a relief appearance?
This is the second time in the last 20 years that he’s come in as a reliever, and the first time in the last 10. And he seals the win, awesome.

playoff thoughts of the day
watching the Cubs lose is almost worth watching the Cubs. almost.
im really surprised at how much TBS has stepped up their production of the playoffs this year. ive watched a few hours of baseball on their network today and i have not seen Dane Cook once. kudos, Mr. Ted Turner.
Chone Figgins has been a baseball player for a few years now, and today is the first time i realized his name is “Chone Figgins” and that he is black. i always thought it was “Sean Finnigans” and he was Irish.

Chone Figgins and Reggie Willits should switch names.
