I sure hope so. I'd much rather the Indians face the Red Sox in a potential ALCS than the Astros.

Dan Plesac on Baseball Tonight last night:

"Cleveland's pitching is outstanding, top to bottom, it might be a better staff than the Yankees."

Bro, do you even baseball?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Indians ERA
Overall: 3.30
Starters: 3.52
Bullpen: 2.89

Yankees ERA
Overall: 3.72
Starters: 3.98
Bullpen: 3.34

Why does Dan Plesac give off the impression that he's chubby when he's not?

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

FUCK YES!!!

PLAYOFF BASEBALL IS HERE!

I got that "excited/scared" feeling. Like 98% excited, 2% scared. Or maybe it's more - it could be two - it could be 98% scared, 2% excited but that's what makes it so intense, it's so - confused. I can't really figure it out.

For tonight I'm 100% excited. Nothing to be scared about just yet.

Yeah, but you're playing with house money.

True, I'm expecting the Astros to win in 4. And I picked Astros over Red Sox in the ALDS at the beginning of the year.

Doesn't make me any less anxious though.

I'm 10% excited and 90% scared. If we win tonight then that will change to 100% excited.

its been a long season

A long DEAD season.

I'll watch some games, but only to laugh at several of your team's eventual misfortunes.

First up: I'm betting on the Twins tonight.

Verlander has this face he makes when teams start T-ing off on him. It's like a "HEY! Don't you know I'm Justin Verlander!" look. It's beautiful and I hope I get to see it again on Thursday or Friday.

Anything can happen, but I think the Twins have an uphill climb tonight. I assume Girardi will be quick with the hook should Severino stumble much at all.

Twins' offense has been strong (1st in AL in RS since ASB, and 3rd in September), so they could surprise the Yankees' pitching, but Santana is going to have to be on point and keep the Yanks out of their bullpen.
