My take on replays of big games before COVID-19 stole all of the entertainment that I care about: 'Meh, I don't see the point of watching a game you already know the outcome. There's no suspense, there's no surprise, there's no gambling line, what's the point.'

Actually a really solid lineup here, and I'm most excited about the games from the 80's that I've never really seen. Maybe this doesn't make me the best team historian, but I legitimately have no idea what happens in ALCS Game 4. I know Cecil Cooper has a monster, clutch hit in one of those ALCS games, but I think it's in Game 5. My assumption is that the Brewers win Games 3 and 4, why else would they be airing them, BUT, I couldn't even venture a guess as to what the final score was. Which may lead me to a phone call with my bookie later today. Because if I honestly don't know the final score, and I'm willing to pinkie swear that I don't, why couldn't he look up what the over/under was on total runs for that game, and give me that line. Like if he told me the over/under on total runs was 10.5, and I'm genuinely just guessing the over, what's wrong with that?? Is that insane??? Am I slowly losing my mind???? Tune in tomorrow to find out.
PS: I'm also kind of pumped to watch the Wild Card clincher from 2008. Linds and I were at that game, and let me tell you, it was the most tense sporting event I've ever been to. EVERY single fan was in their seats before opening pitch. Do you know how rare that is at a Brewer game? Even for massively important games, you still have about 1-2,000 people stumbling in after the 3rd inning. But not that day. CC Sabathia got a standing ovation from a sellout crowd on his walk from the bullpen to the dugout, half an hour before he threw a meaningful pitch. But because we were there, I've never been able to actually sit and watch the game.
