If a Subway series comes to pass there should be enough interest outside of NYC. There are many Yankee haters across the USA.

What I have noticed is all the teams that are left have multiple serious flaws. One if them will win of course, but none are even close to being a great team.

Although if the Mets win their fans will insist they are a dynasty, after all they still talk that way about there 1 and done 1986 championship.

MLB at Team level has become nothing more than mediocraty from top to bottom

The Big problem this year was the AL. Basically everyone from the AL Central got into the playoffs because the White Sox were so god awful. KC and Detroit would not have made the playoffs in the NL or even a different AL division.

Because of that advantage some of the better teams were sitting at home and when you have the 3 and 5 game series anything can happen

Theres a couple likable players left in this playoffs, but they may not have been able to find a more dislikable group of teams for the final 4 if they tried

As expected when you have a poster with over 3,000 posts in about a year you get an incredible amount of nonsense.
Name some of the better teams in the AL who were sitting at home? And let’s remember KC destroyed Baltimore in 2 games and Detroit did the same with Houston.
Who does that leave who didn’t get in ….. Seattle? 😂

Anyone that knows baseball knows that anything can happen in a 3 game series

The Royals finished 86-76 and were 12-1 against the White Sox. Thats not a playoff team if the White Sox dont lose every game but 1 to them

They were 74-75 against the rest of the league

Tigers were also 86-76 and 10-3 against the White Sox. They were 76-73 against the rest of the league. They at least had a winning record against everyone else.

The AL Central playoff teams were 30-9 against the White Sox who are the worst team in MLB history unless you want to go back to the 1890s with the Spiders. Cleveland was the only team that didnt really benefit since they were winning the division anyways

The White Sox absolutely put teams in the playoffs that shouldnt have been there

Re: Why is there always a "know-it-all" on these boards - it seems the Coin Community has so many!

I've been posting and reading on these boards for over 20 years. I used to post under a different "handle" and had some lively discussion with other board members with differing opinions many years ago.

It just seems like the coin collecting community has far above the expected share of "know it alls" that just trash others for any reason whatsoever to prove they know more about the topic.

At some shows you find some of the same types, arguing about a coin or pricing - you'd hope they took their meds before coming to the show that day.

Anyone have the same experience?

Curious, have any of the "know it alls" posted in this thread?

Maybe they "know" better?😀

Not sure how to use the LOL in scoring since believe there are 2 different LOL reactions. Something posted is relevant, clever and funny or something said is really stupid or ignorant. I only use the LOL for the first but think folks also use for the 2nd reaction.

Agree. LOL can mean that you made a clever joke and they are LOLing with you or LOL can mean that you posted something really stupid and they are LOLing at you.
