Not-So-Obnoxious Baseball Thread

Wow...I'll be eating crow for thinking SF was completely out of it after tonight. Atlanta loses, AZ loses, we get 6 games in a row, as well as hit the magic 6 games back.

Anyone care to join the crow BBQ? (Bring beer.)

There is still a small very small teeny tiny chance

Damn Cardinals blew it again. 2 back now.

 

[Guidry]

Freaking Rangers don't seem to want to close it out....

AND I hope they lose tomorrow too

A Cardinal loss and Brewer win is all it takes and since I'll be at the game tomorrow, I REALLY hope it happens tomorrow!!!

Hey have fun at the game tomorrow and I hope they clinch it while you are there. I was at the final game in 08 when they beat the Chubs and we all stuck around and watched the Mets-Marlins on the JumboTron. That day will stick in my head for all time. I hope tomorrow gives you as good memories as I had on 08. GO CREW!!!!

 

[xsists]

I REALLY hope it goes down like that.. That sounds awesome!

Didn't see a Tiger win tonight. But I did notice that on Cabrera's line out to left how fast the ball got to the outfield. His hit to right field came straight at me. That ball got so large so fast it was incredible. What power.. I see that no team in first or second in their division/ league won Thursday except for the D'backs... EDIT... Indians won....Tampa is 2 back Angels 3 in the Wild card hunt.... Tigers and Rangers are tied for home field advantage in the first round....this is going to be an interesting final week.

 

[WildGingerBrewing]

And the Rangers clinch! Hell yeah. Now another loss or two from Detroit would be the icing on the celabratory cake!

Got my Game 5 ALDS tickets for face value. Yankees playoff tickets sell-out on their site within minutes, so I was very surprised to find good tickets. I hate wishing for a Game 5, but if it happens its on my birthday, so I thought that was kinda cool.

1 back and a trip to Houston left

If you were the Yankees would you let Tampa win the next 3 games to eliminate the hated Red Sox. I know I would

Absolutely yes. Yes and yes. I'd let Posada pitch and Mariano catch. But I'm probably biased, not sure

One nice thing is that CC Sab is not going to pitch until the playoffs.

 

[Airborneguy]

As great as it sounds, they won't. You never intentionally lose games. BUT, I would not be surprised to see a lot of the starters resting and some new faces playing. They already clinched homefield advantage, so there's really no reason not to get the young guys some experience.

I have been thinking about this all day. I think it is one of those unwritten rules of baseball that you don't throw a game. I'd be willing to bet Red Sux nation won't be wearing this t-shirt.

I would definitely say it is looking good for the Cards. I sooooo don't want them in the playoffs. They scare me.

Yeah whatever. There will be TONS of Sux fans cheering for the Spankees in this series.

Go Rays!!!!

I seriously can't believe it came down to this close... if you asked me a month ago, I was still watching the games, but very discouraged. Not sure if the Rays made the change, or the RedSox just started sucking, but I don't care. :rockin::rockin::rockin:

Noooot any more.

 

[iaefebs]

Ray's or Red Sox? 2 games left.

 

[xsists]

Go Houston! Go Dodgers! Go Braves!!!

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Ozzie Guillen traded? I never knew you could trade a manager.........

 

[Bernie Brewer]

Ray's or Red Sox? 2 games left.

I'm hoping for Rays. I hate big-market clubs

 

[iaefebs]

Go Houston! Go Dodgers! Go Braves!!!

I can see Houston, Dodgers, but what will a Braves win mean? You just don't like the Phillies?

 

[Bernie Brewer]

A Braves win is one step closer to keeping the Cards out of it. I REALLLY don't want them to sneak in. They would be a force to reckon with.

 

[passedpawn]

Just got home from the game. Woot woot!

OK , gotcha...I knew there was a reason.

Great game, good win....this is fun to watch.

Indeed. I am watching the Brewers-Bucs on TV, and keeping track of all the other important games on the puter and iphone. Good to see the Rays knotted it all up.

doing the same, except watching the Tiger, Indians game... again... I just like watching Fister pitch.... I don't think you want to watch the Brewers, Bucks game again

 

[iaefebs]

I just hope the Angels don't roll over and play dead. They just have to win 1 to give the Tigers a chance..

No kidding. I really like Roenicke, but for some reason he just loves the contact play with a guy on 3rd. I don't think I have seen that play work all year. Grrrrr. At least the DBacks lost. if the Crew bounces back in the next 2 games, they will have home field for the first playoff series, no matter who they wind up playing.
