MLB Playoffs

[89Hen]

Well, we still have some folks here who's teams are in the playoffs, but who do you want to win the four series?

AL Divisional series
New York vs. Detroit
Minnesota vs. Oakland

NL Divisional series
New York vs. Los Angeles
San Diego vs. St. Louis

I doubt I'll watch a single pitch of any of these games, but I guess I'm rooting for Detroit and Minnesota in the AL and New York and St. Louis in the NL.

[goasu984Life]

If any of the West Coast teams make it to the World Series, will there be 10 p.m. games? If so, have fun watching those, cause I'll never make it.

[DaveK]

In the 1st round I'll cheer for the Twins, Tigers, Cardinals, and Dodgers.

[LacesOut]

Detroit, Minny, Mets, and Pads.

I guess the MLB officials are rooting hard for a NY/NY or a NY/LA World Series.

LOL How about a repeat of the 1984 WS, San Diego vs. Detroit??

[dbackjon]

Tigers, Twins, Mets and Padres.

Hate the Cardinals, Dislike the Dodgers.
Dislike the Yankees.

[MissouriStateBear]

well the ole saying is that streaks come in bunches, maybe finally turning the ship around at the very last minute will translate into a deep playoffs run. I am just glad to be here and will take my chance now that we can throw Carpenter multiple times in each series, when he is on, there is no one who is better. Now that Pedro wont pitch for the Mets, i really dont think there will be anyone who can beat the Cards in a series when throwing Carp three times and Suppan is pitching very well since the All-Star break, and Weaver has been very good on the road. Hey, its October, anything can happen. Maybe its our turn to get the monkey off our back of not winning a championship in 24 years...

Yanks, Twins, Cards, Dodgers

Cards and Twins

Cards

[Pard4Life]

If any of the West Coast teams make it to the World Series, will there be 10 p.m. games? If so, have fun watching those, cause I'll never make it.

Nope, they usually all start at 8pm. Even weekend games.

[Pard4Life]

Pards football predictions are shot to heck.. so let's make some realistic playoff picks...

ALDS: Yankees over Detriot 3-2; Twins over A's 3-1
NLDS: Mets over Dodgers 3-2; Padres over Cardinals 3-0

ALCS: Twins over Yankees 4-1 (even though Yanks are 7-2 in CS play under Torre or somethign like that)
NLCS: Mets over Padres 4-3

World Series: Twins over Mets 4-2

Gooooo Twins!

[goasu984Life]

Nope, they usually all start at 8pm. Even weekend games.

I'm glad. That would just suck if the World Series games would start at 10 or 10:30.

[AppGuy04]

Anyone but the Yanks. I'd like to see Detroit win the Series.

[Pard4Life]

I'm glad. That would just suck if the World Series games would start at 10 or 10:30.

Yeah, over half the country would be in bed. The eastern half of the country would miss it.. and we contain likely 70percent of the population.. that means bad TV ratings for a 1030 start.

[MissouriStateBear]

Padres over Cardinals 3-0

xlolx xlolx

there is no way that the Pads beat Chris, let alone twice.

(Yes i know that they beat him last week, while he was pitching on short rest)

[kardplayer]

Here's what I'm rooting for:

Round 1:
Yanks over Detroit (Yankee fan)
A's over Twins (Moneyball fan)
Mets over Dodgers (Subway Series fan)
SD over Cards (Not a Larussa fan - maybe because of his role as a first enabler of the steroid era)

Round 2:
Yanks and Mets

World Series:
Yanks over Mets

[NoCoDanny]

http://www.canadiandesignresource.ca/officialgallery/wp-content/uploads/2006/04/expos1.jpg

Need I say more?

[poly51]

The Dodgers over the Mets. Remember the Dodgers have played more post season games in New York than the Mets. The Dodgers are on a 7 game win streak. They had what, 17 in a row earlier this year. Now is the time to go for 18 in a row. The first World Series televised in San Luis Obispo was 1953. And I watched it. Dodgers and Yankees. Lets do it again.

[Pard4Life]

xlolx xlolx

(Yes i know that they beat him last week, while he was pitching on short rest)

Carpenter is essentially their only pitcher... Jeff Suppan is #2? Plus they are on a massive skid.. odds are in favor of the Padres...

xlolx xlolx

Their skid would be over, 3-2 in their last five, kinda like what we have to do now isnt it...
For once, the Cards are the favorites, and i think it will do them som good. They finally have most of their injuried guys back, Eckstein, Edmonds, etc. And no pressure to actually win since they arent the "best". No worries from me.
Ill take Suppan who is 6-2 with an ERA under 3.00 since the All Star Break over David-Freakin-Wells anyday...

[AppGuy04]

Today's games:

Oakland (Barry Zito 16-10 3.83)

at
New York Yankees (Chien-Ming Wang 19-6 3.63)
8:05 ET Fox

[AppGuy04]

Frank Thomas homers and Santana gives up 2 in the top of the 2nd.

Now top 3, still 2-0 A's

[AppGuy04]

Santana pitches out of a 1 out, bases loaded jam in the 7th. Oakland still leads 2-0 going to the bottom of the 7th. Twins have only managed 2 hits.

[AppGuy04]

Rondell White homers, has 2 of Twins 3 hits. Now 2-1 A's, end of 7.

[AppGuy04]

A's win 3-2, Huston Street gets the save.

Santana takes first loss at home all year.

[MissouriStateBear]

Ouch, the Mets take another hard hit. Can they survive the injuries? We shall see.

http://mlb.mlb.com/NASApp/mlb/news/article.jsp?ymd=20061003&content_id=1696844&vkey=ps2006news&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb

[goasu984Life]

Frank Thomas with a pair of homers for the A's.

Time for the Fathers and the Cards.

[AppGuy04]

Peavy strikes out 2, including Pujols and goes 1 2 3 in the first

[goasu984Life]

Looks like another pitcher's duel. Both starters have good stuff so far.

[goasu984Life]

Peavy may have a blister on his finger. That could be bad for his breaking stuff.

[goasu984Life]

Pujols just hit a two-run homer. 2-0 Cards top 4

[goasu984Life]

Cardinals are hitting Peavy all over the field now. Runners on second and third with no one out, up 2-0 in the fourth.

[goasu984Life]

Looks like the Fathers are coming back. They may have figured Carpenter out.

[goasu984Life]

Runners on the corners with 2 outs for the Padres. Russ Branyan up.

[MissouriStateBear]

Thata boy Chris!!! There is the Cy Young we have come to know and love.

Top 5

Redbirds-3
Padres-0

[goasu984Life]

That was impressive. Come back with a big strikeout. Then, lead off the next inning with a hit.

[MissouriStateBear]

And Jimmy comes through with another.

Bottom 5

Cards-4
Padres-0

[goasu984Life]

Two aces going down in the same day for the home teams. Santana gets beat by the A's and now Peavy's gonna lose for the Fathers. Is that an omen for the Yankees tonight?

[bobcatfan06]

How the heck did the A's beat the Twins?

[goasu984Life]

Two words:

Frank

Thomas

[goasu984Life]

The Fathers have another rally going. LaRussa is pulling Carpenter.

[goasu984Life]

Bases are loaded for the Fathers with one out. You don't get these opportunities in the playoffs very often. The Fathers better take advantage.

[goasu984Life]

Cards get out of it. Big play by the shortstop for St. Louis. Still 5-1 Cards.

[goasu984Life]

Bottom of the ninth and it is still 5-1 Cards. Could be a 2-0 afternoon for the road teams.

[goasu984Life]

5-1 Cards. It's a final. Too much Cards today. The Fathers will be counting on David Wells in game 2 Thursday.

[MissouriStateBear]

That has to be GREAT sign to see from our bullpen. To get out of that jam without giving up a run. YES YES YES. I like what I am seeing so far. Yes, it is only one game. But you have to take game one to take game two.

Cards in '06

[AppGuy04]

Yanks leading 5-1 in top of the 5th. Robertson has been great against lefties all year, but not in this one.

[AppGuy04]

3 straight hits, Tigers creep back in, now 5-3

[AppGuy04]

Bottom 7, 7-4 Yanks

[AppGuy04]

Jeter homers in the bottom of the 8th to go 5 for 5

Rivera pitches the 9th, Yanks win 8-4

[Pard4Life]

Mets are not looking good and they have yet to play again... oh boy..

Regardless... LOSE FRIGGIN' YANKEES!!!

[goasu984Life]

Yankees are gonna have no problem with the Tigers it looks like. A's or Twins should give them a series.

[Gil Dobie]

Yankees are gonna have no problem with the Tigers it looks like. A's or Twins should give them a series.

Yanks had their best pitcher go last night, we'll see how the rest of the staff performs. I am looking forward to seeing Verlander today.

[goasu984Life]

I don't have much confidence in Detroit, especially since they cruised into the playoffs. This will be great experience for those young players, and they might take a game at home, but I don't see them winning the series.

[Mr. C]

Hard to put much confidence in someone named "Boof." Who are the Twinkies going to start next "Bobo" Newsome?

[goasu984Life]

Here we go with A's/Twins game 2.

Joe Morgan is calling both the Mets and Yankees game for ESPN today as well.

[AppGuy04]

haha, Boof's real name was John, but he legally changed it in 2001 to Boof

[goasu984Life]

What an idiot.

[goasu984Life]

[goasu984Life]

The Dome is rocking now.

[goasu984Life]

2-2 going to the 7th. We've got a game now.

[goasu984Life]

A 2-run inside the park homer for the A's. They got their two runs back.

[AppGuy04]

Going to the bottom of th 9th, A's lead 5-2

[AppGuy04]

Oakland wins 5-2, takes 2-0 lead in the series

Oakland won 8-2 and swept the series 3-0. I've been saying since July that Oakland was just quietly going about its' business and might sneak up on someone. Well the Twins, with some self inflicted wounds, fell prey to the A's.

8-3 Tigers, Series goes to Detroit 3-1 :(

[yoself09]

I'm not going to try to console ya'll with the cliche "there's always next year." That's like getting punched in the face with an iron spike. I will say this though:

The Yankees are and always will be the GREATEST baseball team ever. We didn't make it to the big showdown, for reasons I don't feel like getting into at the moment, but the heart and history of this organization doesn't compare to any other. Win or lose, I'll always be a Yankees fan. Even in moments like this, I don't regret one minute of the 15 years I've stuck by them. It's been a privilege and an honor.

Lets go Yankees

I think its a crock though. Granted they aren't that expensive, who the hell knows if they actually work.

Only one way to find out if they work!

goasu984Life, yep, the Tiggers are looking good. Hope they sweep (or just win the series) against the A's, and then play the Mets in the WS. The atmosphere in Detroit for games 3 and 4 will be spectacular.

true, but I don't think they'd look as cool on us Joe Schmoes

[goasu984Life]

Pulling for the Tigers. My wife's family (her mother's side) is from Michigan, and since my Cubs suck out loud and couldn't find the playoffs with a remote control, I'm pulling for them.

[AppGuy04]

Harden throws 4 straight pitches into the dirt, leadoff walk to Granderson

Doesn't look good, he bounced these like 2 feet in front of the plate

[AppGuy04]

7 straight balls before a gimme strike

[AppGuy04]

Hit and run vacates 2nd. Monroe shoots it by 2nd, first and 3rd no outs.

[goasu984Life]

Sounds like a great start for the Tigers.

[AppGuy04]

haha, Polanco is practically wearing a ski mask. Guess those Latinos don't like the cold

[AppGuy04]

Polanco singles to right

1-0 Tigers

Still 1st and 3rd, no outs

[goasu984Life]

Who would have thought that the Tigers would even be in a position to sweep? Keep this up and they could be the team of destiny this year.

[AppGuy04]

Force out at 2nd, can't turn DP

Monroe scores

2-0 Tigers, 1 out

[AppGuy04]

Guillen grounds into DP

End of 1st

2-0 Tigers

[goasu984Life]

The Tigers just keep scoring runs. Good for them.

[AppGuy04]

No score for Oakland in the 2nd

[AppGuy04]

Harden still struggling with control. Has thrown 90% fastballs

2 walks already

[goasu984Life]

It's amazing to me how the Tigers pitchers have been performing since Game 1 against the Yankees. They really have been pitching well.

[AppGuy04]

Inge legs out a possible DP

[AppGuy04]

It's amazing to me how the Tigers pitchers have been performing since Game 1 against the Yankees. They really have been pitching well.

Not surprising, I believe they had the lowest ERA in the AL this year

[AppGuy04]

Santiago walked, back to the top of the lineup with 2 on, 2 out

[AppGuy04]

Harden already at 41 pitches, not even through the 2nd

[AppGuy04]

Another 4 pitch walk to Granderson

bases loaded, 2 outs for Monroe

[goasu984Life]

Bases loaded with 2 outs

[goasu984Life]

KS with two outs, so the A's get out of it.

[AppGuy04]

Monroe strikes out

End of 2, 2-0 Tigers

[goasu984Life]

Not surprising, I believe they had the lowest ERA in the AL this year

But you also have a bunch of guys that have a minimal amount of experience in the playoffs, as well as how badly Kenny Rogers has pitched in the post-season. I guess the way that the Yankees and the A's were swinging the bats, it is surprising that th Tigers have shut them down as well as they did/have.

Definitely surprising that they shut down the Yanks, but they have some great young pitching and Rogers is Old Man River

[AppGuy04]

Another 1,2,3 inning for Kenny

[goasu984Life]

The Gambler is on fire. Two good starts for Kenny.

[AppGuy04]

Harden's 5th walk in 5 2/3 gets him yanked

[goasu984Life]

Isn't he the guy that the A's were counting on to get a win and keep them in the series? I'm telling you, the Tigers are the team of destiny.

[goasu984Life]

The Gambler does it again. 7.1 innings, with only two hits. Detroit up 3-0, looking for a sweep.
