Having had time to 'study' at the embarrassing attendance for the 1st Wildcard Game at Tropicana Field, some reasons put forth...

...it was a 3PM Game on a Tuesday, that was announced on Sunday.

...elderly demographic majority.

Most of the transplants are fans of other teams.  And then you have the Tampa people who feel entitled to everything on their side of the bridge.  It's a 25 minute drive from St. Pete to Tampa, but to hear them tell it, their commute to St. Pete is like a trek through the Darién Gap.

Enjoying the hell out of seeing Kershaw and the Bums getting shelled.

5 runs and not a single out yet.   :silly:

The Braves are doing what they always do once the playoffs get here.

I swear @catfish1957 ... Altuve leads off game with a HR again?  AGAIN???

He's got a buzzer up his ass that somebody activates.   Like Morse Code.

Astros caught some breaks and besides them, only rubes remain in the AL hunt, and they are going to start feeling the pressure.
Playoff Games the past 10 years- (2013-2022)

Houston-  92
Minnesota- 6
Baltimore-  8
Arlington-  8

And as far as the Altuve buzzing, I understand whyy opposing fans might be a tad jealous of us.  We are close to going to our 7th consecutive LCS.    Haters gotta hate.

Gotta keep that Astros hate going.

Actually, that Rangers-Orioles game got delayed and pushed everything back. My BFF and I get infuriated with delays. Our motto is "put a roof on it!" We might be snobs, but we embrace it. That's gotta count for something.

On a somber note, there's little joy in this weekend of playoff baseball because of the attacks in Israel. Even so, go 'Stros!

Went to our Orioles game today.

Was a nice time but boy did they stink it up today.  Thought first game showed it couldn’t be bad but it wasn’t good tonite.  Only thing I can say…they did try to rally.

Anyway, the first play-off I’ve ever been to and a good time.  Glad I could get tickets for my son to experience it.  You never know, they may never make it for another 40 years.

@the OlLine Rebel

when I was really little (like 3 or 4) I thought the Orioles were the Oreos like the cookie.


Submitted for everyone's approval, I hope it made you all giggle.

(I'm sorry , I just haven't followed baseball since my dad passed. He use to take us kids to Philly and Yankees games all the time up until I was a teenager)

Oh believe me, we even last nite said maybe we’d have some Oreos in honor of the game (we do indeed have Oreos at home).

That was the way one of our local broadcasters deliberately stated the name:  “…the O-ri-Os!”

Sorry about your dad.  I’m not huge into any sports either (besides horse-racing, but took that down a lot since they knelt for BLM riots).  But, I do like to generally follow what’s happening.  Had a spotty record of going to Orioles games over the decades.  Never went to a NFL game until 2004 with my now husband, and still only a few overall.  My parents took us to some baseball games back in the ‘70s and I even went with my older sister 1 time.  Each memory is nice.  I just only have a few!

I've watched a lot of baseball in my life, and when comes to post season OF clutch catches and plays, this one is easiy in the Top 5.

And extra bonus points for doubling off the biggest ass hole in MLB....   Bryce Harper.

It was a crazy end to the game, for sure. I heard today that it was the first time in post-season history there was an outfield-assisted double-play.

As to Bryce Harper, I can't really hate on him anymore.  He seems to have finally gotten a little maturity under his belt and seems to be a pretty decent human nowadays.  We'll see if it sticks.  :shrug:

I am sorry, I had to re-loop the Bryce Harper "Walk of Shame" at least 8 times.  Getting doubled  off in the 9th, down 1 on a long fly?

That a Bill Buckner like Brain Fart, and seeing Harper suffer?   :patriot:

I don't give a damn what anybody says...getting a week off with a "BYE" translates to "bye-bye"!!

Dodgers...Orioles... two offensively powerful teams are being swept?

And the Orioles...who won 101 games didn't just get swept for the first time in 89 SERIES. 
They got the SNOT beat of the them.

You cannot get your timing back after sitting on your ass for a week.  It takes time.

The opponent...the supposed fodder has been scraping and clawing daily.

We seemed to manage the bye alright......   :cool:

But I know what you mean.

Congrats to my Houston Astros who just broke the record for most consecutive visits to the ALCS. -7

Going to be an epic ALCS.   Arlington Rangers and Astros fans pretty much hate each other.  Players aren't too friendly with each other either.

Just don't call them Texas Rangers......   They don't represent the state as far as I am concerned.
