    I guess it is safe to say that the Braves/Marlins will be slotted into the early games next week
    Get off my lawn!

    Marlins/Braves in the NLDS, just like we all thought.

    I feel like we played the Marlins 30 out of the 60 games.

    Same. I wanted to play the Cubs, in part, because I thought they were the weaker team, with a pretty pitiful offense and a pitching staff that wasn't really scary outside of Darvish; but perhaps the bigger reason was because I'm just sick of watching games against the NL East, and especially Miami.

    I am so stoked about playing the Marlins. Obviously, any given day is a narrative to live by but the Braves are clearly the better team in every aspect.

    Braves on paper are better but it wont be an easy series with their pitching and playoff Braves offense.

    Love seeing the Cardinals defense fail them.

    Cards lose 4-0. 5th time this postseason a NL Central team has been shut out, and all 4 teams that made it were shut out at least once.

    So we don't really know how good those western division teams are vis-à-vis the eastern teams; we just know that the central teams were dog****.

    Every 1st round loser was a central team sans the jays who were demolished by the rays.

    How many deserving teams missed out because the central was so bad they got seven teams in. Faillies for sure.
    Coppy

    Marlins have never lost a postseason series in their history. Will they break that streak, or will we finally make it out of the NLDS after 19 years of futility (I’m sorry I don’t count our 2 game win as a series win)?

    I think the Phillies, Mets, and maybe even the Nationals were better than any of the NL Central teams that played in the postseason.

    The Marlins are like a worse version of the Rays. Mostly unknown players and no superstar to lead the way. Not really sure how they win, but here they both are in the DS.

    Doesn’t count a 3-game series as an actual series. Counts the 1-game Wild Card playoff. Makes sense.

    He's in inpatient therapy. PTSD. Unlikely to be available for 30 more days.

    Never said I count the 1 game WC playoff series. I want to see us win an NLDS series before I go jumping up and down that we’ve finally broken our playoff curse.
