Yeah, it's completely fucking ridiculous, but of course Frank couldn't just let it go.

I changed the definitions of those words without telling anyone, so it's different than when you post it.

Yeah it's a shame that MLB never sent out the primer on the proper way to lose playoff series to Cubs fans .

No shit. I hate to break it to you conns, but you could go back 75 years and find one World Series win and one World Series loss for both teams.

For leash, IMU, and others, please let me know what word(s) you need defined before you make your fruitless rebuttal.

What?

Is it true or false that MLB classifies it as a series and classifies game 163 as part of the regular season?

This is literally the only point I'm making. Do you believe it to be debatable?

I have no idea what MLB classifies it as. I know a series technically CANNOT be one game. It simply can't. It goes against the very definition of the word series.

If MLB told you Iowa was a planet would you believe them?

Well arnold Schwarzenegger told us hollywood was a planet.

Im not arguing with him.

Its called game. Maybe the reason you don't have a front office MLB job yet is because you can't understand simple concepts.

MLB is referring to it as a round within the postseason. Let me assist with a helpful graphic.

Thus perhaps why its called game 163 instead of game 1?

Sox fans are embarrassing. I mean ... we truly have them calling MLB, the entity that controls and decides all of this, wrong in referring to the Wild Card game a Round within the postseason. Despite the statistics counting as postseason statistics. Despite both Wild Card teams receiving an additional 'postseason appearance' to add to their franchise history.

Just... I don't know about these guys.

It'll take a White Sox Wild Card game loss for them to admit it counts as a postseason appearance. And a Wild Card game win for them to admit it counts as advancing in the postseason.

You helpful graphic proved my point, IMU. Wild Card game is used, while every other "round" is referred to as series (Division, League, and World).

Game.

Set, and match.

All it takes a couple of cold-outs and a few tuff losses and Cubs fans start losing their shit. Very sad.
