ot - baseball playoff thread?

[Slimpikins]

Baseball is a stupid sport, today.

Actually, so is football.

In fact the only team I root for that didn't embarrass themselves today was the Sharks...

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

just came across this stat

Cabrera reached base in all 18 playoff games with Detroit, matching Hank Greenberg for the longest streak in team history.

So he's kinda like the Anti-Rodriguez?

You clearly weren't watching their golf game.

Now I remember why I don't watch ESPN.

I turned it on for the Tiger highlights...HA! "Yankees and Tigers...let's go right to the controversial call." Next 10 minutes are devoted entirely to why instant replay must be implemented as soon as 24 hours ago. The only half-compliment they gave Detroit during the entire segment was that we capitalized on the miscall.

Then they had a seemingly 30-min long debate on which QB you would want in a last-minute drive - Vick or Romo.

Ahem.

BOTH THOSE GUYS LOST. WHY ARE YOU EVEN DEBATING THIS QUESTION?

Fuckers. What a joke.

You know this will lead to replay...only because it's the Yankees.

If it had happened to the Tigers or any other team, the line would have been "tough break" and forgotten within the day.

The key to instant replay is having a camera closer than mars and that you devote more than 5 seconds to looking at it.

/yes, bitter.

 

[elocomotive]

Have you all eaten a half-smoke before at a ballgame or otherwise?

I just became aware in the last few days this is a DC-area specific food. I always thought they had them everywhere. Curious if it's spread to other places yet or not.

Jose Valverde wishes his ERA in the post-season was 7.11

Beat the Skanks!

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

This'll be Verlander's first game since his epic complete game shutout of the Oakland A's.

Did the Holliday slide at second cross the line last night from tough baseball to dirty?

 

[Nasty_Magician]

This seems like a trap game for the Tigers. Everyone is down on the Yanks, beating them up and talking about how they can't hit, now they're going up against the best pitcher in baseball. This is the prototypical "nobody believes in us" game. I hope I'm wrong, but I'm taking the Yankees in this one.

 

[Nasty_Magician]

And if the Tigers lose this game, they go up against CC in the next game, makes it all the more important to win this one. This series could be tied in no time.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

In no way do I consider this series over. If the Yankees do win tonight, game 4 might be a must-win for Detroit.

Never ever ever give the Yankees a second chance. They will punish you most severely.

there's a reason for that
