OK, they win tonight I'm starting to believe in miracles.

I hate I keep waiting for them to be the Bucs we know and love.

I know of sport fans that say making the Playoffs is a joke anymore, almost everyone makes it. BS, 6 of 15 is not everyone.

I think it was a smart move by MLB. For fans of the smaller teams it keeps us interested. I so want to have an interest come Sept.

It's funny, baseball is the only sport people talk that stuff. Even when the NHL was 6 teams, they had a 4 team tournament. No one complains about the NFL. NBA.

Somehow, baseball stands alone. Should only be the two teams with the best record. Sorry, if someone feels that way, then why even have a World Series? Team that had the best record regular season is champ. Done.

True measure of a champion is taking on all comers. That's how I see it.
