I like the logo with the ball.
Sounds like a good change.

I am very curious to see what tonight's ratings will be.

If THAT game can't pull big ratings, with no football on, well there might be a problem...

What a couple of wild card games. Yankees-Sox. And the Dodgers, off a franchise record for wins, 1 game off best record in baseball... playing a team that won 17 in a row to get in. I'll probably watch these two games closer than I watch any of the rest of the playoffs.

I will watch too, the entire time thinking (just like I do every year) how stupid it is to have 1 game decide a season that is predicated on a large sample size. Why they can't do best of 3...

Speaking of dodgers - I saw on many sports books they were still favoured to win it all despite being in wild card game!

I'm the opposite... don't win your division, you're lucky to get a chance to get into playoffs. You had the longest professional regular season to finish first.

Maybe not so much when you finish 1 game behind the top team in the league of course :D

And I love the drama of the single elimination game.

I like the drama of the single elimination game too. But also, one game to decide it all is better than no games and sitting at home with no option to get in the playoffs at all, which is what it was just 10 years ago.

I'm not against a Best of 3. But I would really only be okay with that if MLB finally shortened their regular season.

They really need to look at that.

I'll be watching tonight.

I admit I haven't followed baseball that closely lately but why was Gerrit Cole chosen by the Yankees to start this game?

Why would you send Judge in that situation? Idiocy.

The red Sox sucked the air out of this game early.

PS - the call saying stanton's ball was gone (in top of the 1st) , when it wasn't, was emblematic of this game

$324 million. This is why he they got him.
