AL Wild Card GameThread: Got any messages for Liam Hendriks?
Well, here we are at the American League game. Just like last night, the game will last thirteen innings across five hours, only the score will be 12-11. Everyone will say that it’s better baseball, even though it will be 6-1 for innings 4-6 and we’ll all be really bored.
Half the audience will be rooting for the Rebuildin’ A’s to beat the Mighty Yankees, half will feel aggrieved by the 100-win Yankees having their entire season come down to one game. The aggrieved will get the most airtime before, during, and after the game, regardless of the outcome. The A’s will be patted on the head and told they’re a fun story. And, hey, they had a movie made about them.
