Who is your regular season team? Go Cards!
Which team do you hope gets punted into the sun? Dodgers (obviously) and Red Sox, always and forever What ballpark food do you definitely get in a World Series situation? Hot dog and/or nachos. I'm boring and would stick with the classics.
Which MLB hottie do you want to see four more weeks of? Bonus points for a pic. Yadier Molina - I could stare at his smile all day long.

I have to say, I had confusing feelings on Sunday. I have never felt anything other than hate in my heart for the Dodgers but I did feel a sliver of something, maybe empathy, for them wining 106 games and having to play a Wild Card game. And also for losing Kershaw and Muncey to injury back to back Sat and Sun.
I was like the grinch with a little heart growing. Not much but a tad bit.

Winning 106 games and still needing to compete for a WC berth is crazy. I also never like seeing injuries like that. That said go Cards! I am still disappointed we didn’t get game 163 of the regular season. That last week of the season was pure chaos.

Lifelong Dodgers fan here! I grew up watching games with my dad and he always took us to a handful of games every year. I haven't been to a game in about 15 years though since I don't live in CA. I will always and forever root against the Giants

Who is your regular season team? Red Sox Who are you rooting for if your team is not one of the elite 10 to make it to the post season? If the Red Sox get eliminated, I will root for the Braves (MH is a die hard) Which team do you hope gets punted into the sun? I already got my wish last night. After them, the Dodgers. What ballpark food do you definitely get in a World Series situation? If I’m at Dodger stadium (my closest stadium) it for sure is a Dodger dog, beer, and a Cool-a-Coo for dessert. Which MLB hottie do you want to see four more weeks of? Bonus points for a pic. Kike Hernandez

Who is your regular season team? Royals fan (see avatar).
Who are you rooting for if your team is not one of the elite 10 to make it to the post season? Probably the Brewers because Lorenzo Cain came from KC. I hate the Cardinals, but them making that comeback right at the end of the season is what I live for in baseball. It was incredible.
Which team do you hope gets punted into the sun? NYY already said bye-bye, but I'd also like Houston to GTFO.
What ballpark food do you definitely get in a World Series situation? None. I spent all my money on tickets. LOLOLOL. Love me a Buck Night, tho.
I'd like to see Tampa Bay vs. Milwaukee.

I’m legit terrified of the Cardinals right now. 17 games in a row at the end of the season is some big October energy.

jaygee - all I ask is that you don’t start saying Gabe Kapler is a baseball genius or this season is all him. He is pretty to look at :-) The Giants are a team. And they’re fucking good. They were built before Kapler arrived and probably would have had a phenomenal year with or without him. Best of luck. Sorry, I’m rooting against them. Haha.

17 straight going into the post-season. And the Phillies thought they could compete with the Cards, the Dodgers and the Giants with no closer and 3 starting pitchers.
Hang on. I can’t stop laughing.

jaygee I don’t follow baseball as much as H, but o was going to say Brandon Crawford is my baseball crush, hah. Giants fan, mostly by marriage. But also by hometown (although it’s split with the As) Obligatory punt Dodgers into the sun (sorry miawallace 😘) I’m good with a beer and a hot dog, but Petco also has a Carnitas Snack Shack and I will eat anything from there. Gimme.

I don’t necessarily think he’s some baseball genius. It’s a lot of factors. I do think he’s the right guy for this group of players at this time. Going into the season the Giants were projected to have 70-80 wins. They ended up at 106. So a lot of things that weren’t expected to happen happened. I do think he had a part of that. I don’t know how he was in Philly because I honestly didn’t know who he was when we hired him (and was not very happy with the choice), but listening to him in his interviews here, he seems to be a very good match to the personalities on this team and a good leader for them in the moment. The front office and the 3 veterans (Belt, Crawford, and Posey) having out of their mind seasons definitely are huge factors.

I'm a Twins fan which means if we sneak into the post-season, we immediately lose to the Yankees or A's. This means I usually end up cheering for whatever AL team that is not NY/Boston/Houston. This year it's the White Sox.

The front office and the 3 veterans (Belt, Crawford, and Posey) having out of their mind seasons definitely are huge factors. Kapler was liked in Philly initially but the team had issues. When he was let go, the players complained of him being more of a friend than coach. He wouldn’t get tough on players when they needed to hear tough things. Hence, the follow up choice of Girardi. And yes! Sometimes a group gets together and there’s synergy that is much more than the parts of the whole. Phils haven’t had that magic since Charlie Manuel, Howard, Rollins, Utley. It’s awesome when it happens! This leads me to my annoyance with the Phils’ love affair with Bryce so I’ll be quiet.

I'm a traditional ballpark snack fan. I love nachos with jalapenos and so much cheese they're basically soggy by the time I get back to my seat.

I used to be a big Anthony Rendon fan but sounds like he's a bit Trumpy. So I don't even feel bad that the Angels suck and he's not in the playoffs.

Phillies. Forever and ever. Look, I know I’m supposed to be Rah Rah Bryce Harper but I am not. That team has a lot of guys who step up day after day - Jean Segura and Brad Miller were so clutch this year! Zack Wheeler was amazing. The Braves swept us to take the division but I’m not even sorry. Go Braves. Please, just someone beat the Giants. Eff Gabe Kapler.Our long and storied history of watching players and coaches go win elsewhere is just 😭 it's what we do best TBH.
