Am I starting a thread about baseball?
Alright guys, the Pirates are playing well. I'm still expecting it to all fall apart, but just in case it doesn't, can someone catch me up on the past 20 years?

Whatever happened to Barry Bonds after he left Pittsburgh?
Did Francisco Cabrera go on to be a big star?

Do you guys not pay attention to baseball anymore? There's an NBA thread (actually multiple threads) on this board but no baseball. Is baseball out?

Yes, the guy posting here with interest in baseball is brand new. Over the past several years you guys may or may not have talked about baseball--either way, I would not have noticed.

I just bought the MLB package for my Roku--gets you live streaming for every game.
Yes, this pretty much seals it that the Pirates are gonna tank.

I had no idea how postseason works for baseball. WTF is Wild Card Showdown? Is this the most ridiculous gimmick in major US sports?

And why didn't anyone tell me that baseball is a horrible sport and no one should ever keep up with it on a daily basis?
Football season is tough, but there is only one game every week. Having games every freaking day is brutal. And even the best teams only win 60% of their games. That means you're disappointed almost every-other-day--and that's if you're rooting for a good team! Why would anyone pay attention to baseball before the playoffs? Constant disappointment is guaranteed.

Am I reading something incorrectly or do the two wild card teams really play a one game playoff against each other?! A team plays 162 games to get a chance at a ONE game playoff??? We can't at least make it a three game series?
