OT - Baseball Playoff Thread

[Jimmy_the_Tongue]

LOL it just occured to me that MLB's worst nightmare would be a Tigers/Brewers World Series.

Out of the whole country, it would be two states that border one another playing for the title.

I'd be rooting hard for Detroit, for Leyland..and rooting just as hard against Milwaukee, because they own the Pirates and are cocky as hell in the process..that friggen Ryan Braun is a bit of a whiner....heck of a ball player though...

I can't believe the Phillies are out. With that pitching staff & lineup I thought they were a lock for the World Series. I will be surprised if Manuel returns.

Lineup sucks. Pitching was as advertised....batters sucked when it mattered. We deserved to lose.

Team that wanted Cliff Lee--out

Team that got Cliff Lee--out

Team that lost Cliff Lee--still alive.

So, Go Brewers and Tigers!

 

[PhillyPhaithful48]

Well I can honestly say I don't care for any of the teams left this post-season. I don't hate any of the teams but none of them really interest me. This hurts.


Go ummm Tigers?

 

[SportsGuy305]

Tigers-Rangers, Cards-Brewers. Ratings and views should be at an all-time high :p . All 4 of these teams deserve to be where they are right now, I wish the best of luck to all of the and to all of their fans.

Delmon Young off the Detroit ALCS roster, HUGE loss for them

yes that hurts, although, i think if detroit is going to win the series, it will be more due to their pitching than to their offense. so while it's a big loss, i don't think it will change the "keys to the series" overall.


go tigers and brewers. won't know who to root for if both make it, but it would be sweeeeeeeeeet........

FUCK.

I don't suppose Boesch is healthy, either.

We're losing .300-type hitters.

Avila and Peralta need to show up this series.

 

[johnnytata]

Avila and Peralta need to show up this series.

agreed.

i sorta have a feeling that they will. for avila, that was his first ever playoff series if i'm not mistaken, and he had a great one behind the plate, maybenow e'll relax a little bit with the bat.

and peralta, well he spells his name jhonny, so he has to eventually get hot.

 

[Automattic]

So I'm guessing my Wings fam needs me to root for the Tigers?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Sure. Why the fuck not?

 

[SportsGuy305]

Schumaker is ruled out for the whole NLCS.

 

[SportsGuy305]

Miguel Cabrera will bat third in the Tigers lineup for Game 1 of the ALCS.

*sigh* weather is going to be an issue for tonight and tomorrow's game. texas has been in the worst drought in history and of course it has to end during the alcs

 

[higgyfan4]

@Tom_Gage Tom Gage
hate to say it, but there's a lot of rain to the west of, but close to Arlington - nobody needs another 1 1/2 inning game
