The Tim McCarver Memorial Post-Season MLB Thread

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you have the tigers not only beating the yankees, but sweeping them.

riiiiight. i shall eat this thread if that happens.

If the Tigers do indeed win, it definitely won't be a sweep. Even I know the Yankees are a force to be reckoned with.

 

[Hewson]

That will never happen.

No, because along with large following, The Yanks have an even larger legion of haters, but these folks tune in hoping to see Yankee failure, so the Yanks will always be a ratings bonanza.

I think if there were a fix, it wouldn't be for a Subway Series (aside from the fact that Selig prefers Quizno's). The likely highest ratings would come from a Yanks/Dodgers matchup.

You can be sure that Fox and Bud don't want a Twins/Padres duel.

NEW YORK -- Already missing Pedro Martinez, the New York Mets suddenly might have to replace pitcher Orlando Hernandez in Game 1 of the playoffs because of a calf injury, too.

El Duque felt discomfort in his right calf while he was jogging in the outfield Tuesday as the NL East champions tuned up for their division series against the Los Angeles Dodgers.

The 40-year-old right-hander, who had been scheduled to start New York's postseason opener, was pulled off the field and was headed for an MRI exam.

okay I give ny one win, tigers in 4 cause I'll be at that game 20 rows behind the winners dugout

What a shocker with the Twins losing. That is definitely not a good sign for them.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

do you really feel that confident that oakland can wrap things up after one win?

when was the last time they got out of the first round? in the canseco-mcgwire era?

then agian... the same can be said of minnesota

the series will end in a tie.

Hey Chzip,

Is there any truth to the rumor that Pujols has to hire a shipping company to help him move his nuts from room to room?

That guy is amazing.

 

[popacrobat]

what a huge play by belliard right there

 

[Chizip]

carpenter and pujols

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

just more proof that the NL West sucks.

Neither team has a strong number 2 pitcher. It could go either way.

Morneau and Mauer went 0-for. Turn that around and you have a different series.

Twins last got to the Division series by beating the A's I think.

And the tigers screwed themselves the whole month of August!

 

[speedracer]

Wow. FOX just used the 70s Batman music and graphics in today's Yankees-Tigers game. Outstanding.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

i do believe tim mccarver said that an offensive coordinator in football is on the field, just like the third base coach...

but aside from getting a chuckle out of mccarver's stupidity, is there really a point to this post-season? just give the yankees the trophy and let's get to the off-season so that the mets can sign barry zito.

 

[Chizip]

i almost dont want the cardinals to make it to the world series for fear of what the yankees lineup would do to that cardinals pitching staff

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

it's absurd

 

[U2democrat]

Yay Cards!

I'll be interested to see how far they make it this year...they aren't nearly as good as they have been the previous 2 years.

You're right though Chiz...I'd hate to see the NYY tear the Cards to pieces.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Not even an hour into the game and I lost interest.

:girliegirl:

 

[phanan]

Now that it's 5-0, I can see why.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Crap.

Well, best two out of three, right?

 

[Chizip]

3 out of 5

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ok, cool.

Told you guys I was new to this baseball thing.

 

[U2democrat]

April.

I was mad because I had to go to a speaker tonight, meaning I had to dress up so I couldn't wear my St. Louis baseball cap. I'm wearing it now though (even with my nice clothes still on lol)

 

[The OOTS]

Go A's

 

[zonelistener]

Did Fox just show the Subway sign for a reason?
