And my Mariners were eliminated in the penultimate game of the season. A heartbreaking finish after an amazing run.
The Mariners sadly aren't in the playoffs even though they ended up with a better record than the MN Twins, AZ Diamondbacks and Florida Marlins. All three of those teams are in the playoffs with the Diamondbacks in the playoffs for the first time in six years.

That's baseball. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you lose. Sometimes it rains.

Hope springs eternal and all that.

I do like the faster pace of games under the new rules.

Hey all!

Hope everyone is well.

So, here was my MLB prediction at the beginning of the season.

Here is my Worls Series prediction: NY Mets VS Houston Astros.

Champs - NY Mets (in 6)
Since the Mets didn't even make the playoffs (my pick as the champs), it seems like I suck as a prophet.

Anyway - still love watching MLB (especially playoff MLB) - Rangers and Arizona have been a big surprise to me - Philadelphia and Houston have not been nearly as surprising - Given the 4 teams left, I am picking the Houston Astros to beat Philadelphia in the WS.

Heya Ceeboo. Nice to see you. I'm a terrible baseball prophet. But I've been very pleased to discover that the rule changes have made baseball enjoyable for me to listen to again. I'd never realized just what an effect the pacing of the games had on my enjoyment.

Enjoy the league championships and the series!

The way Houston has played the last two games, you could be 1/2 a prophet, lol. Philadelphia v. Texas is my prediction though with Philadelphia winning.

The Arizona DBacks and the Texas Rangers will be playing against each other in the World Series. The Texas Rangers will have home field advantage, but the Rangers beat the Astros in the four games in Houston.

Wonder if Paul H. Dunn playing for the Arizona Diamondbacks in the Rose Bowl right after he planted the flag at Iwo Jima might influence the game in Ceeboo's favor?
