MLB Thread 2012 - The Postseason

[DRay9911]

Leaving them loaded in the first and second is not the best to start this game

 

[speedracer]

Tough crowd, wow.

 

[DRay9911]

oh. my. fucking. god.

 

[speedracer]

So predictable.

 

[Hewson]

Tough break, literally, for Jeter.

How come Yanks fans are all over Aroid, but Cano gets a free pass??

 

[speedracer]

Picture of Jeter's ankle below. Not pretty.

Spoiler

 

[Hewson]

Its not Krumrie-esque or even Moises Alou bad.

 

[DRay9911]

Good thing there are so many other clutch hitters in the line up right now so they can absorb this inj...oh, wait...

I don't think any of the struggling hitters are getting a free pass. APud is always going to get the brunt of it because he's APud.

I almost went to bed before the bottom of the 9th. I wish I would have. Those extra 2 hours of sleep would have been great.

Here's what it looked like the last time Derek Jeter wasn't in a Yankees' playoff lineup:

1 - Wade Boggs, 3B
2 - Bernie Williams, CF
3 - Paul O'Neill, RF
4 - Ruben Sierra, DH
5 - Don Mattingly, 1B
6 - Dion James, LF
7 - Mike Stanley, C
8 - Tony Fernandez, SS
9 - Randy Velarde, 2B

 

[Dalton]

Omar Infante has been shit at 2B since rejoining the Tigers.

fucking mariners

 

[Dalton]

What Yankees fans wouldn't give for a Paul O'Neil, Tino Martinez or Bernie Williams.

 

[Dalton]

Cause to be fair, this Tigers team is shit.

 

[Dalton]

And, am I the only one in the world that knows that Justin Verlander isn't always that great against the Yankees?

 

[the tourist]

That Tigers team has a pretty damn good offense, though.

 

[PhilsFan]

I'm gonna be really irritated if a team that recently won a World Series wins another one. By that I mean I will be annoyed if Detroit does not win.

 

[DRay9911]

i know sanchez threw a no hitter a few years back, but christ the yankees are making another tiger pitcher look like cy young

Says a fan of the team where the pitcher is THROWING A PERFECT GAME.

 

[DRay9911]

ya jinx

 

[the tourist]

Good. Seeing as Detroit is my second favorite team (loads of family including my dad being from there), always happy to jinx a perfecto. Of course, I don't believe in jinxing things anymore. Used to. Stopped.

 

[Dalton]

In theory, in reality they're pretty average. If you look at all the numbers, they're very streaky and their numbers reflect that. In most major categories, they're only just better than the league average.

 

[PhilsFan]

Streaky teams win in the playoffs when they get hot.

 

[Dalton]

Streaky teams win in the playoffs when they get hot.

Johnny Peralta and Delmon Young are doing their part.

I'm looking at you Cabs, Prince, Omar and either of the catchers.

 

[DRay9911]

the moment sutcliffe mentions karoda's pitch count, boom! lead off double

it's over

 

[Dalton]

Sutcliffe sounds like he's on a shitload of antidepressants.

 

[Dalton]

We back into so many runs.

 

[DRay9911]

might as well be 8-0

 

[Dalton]

I wouldn't be so sure. The Tiger's are checking to see if they can add my mom to their bullpen. She has no arms.

 

[DRay9911]

if mom can throw an offspeed pitch with her foot, she could give leyland a 1-2-3 inning

Makes the Fat Potato look really sad doesn't it?
