Baseball playoffs

[Rickypt]

My Giants had a total meltdown, but I just got tickets to two of the A's playoff games. Looks like they will be playing Detroit. They are my second favorite team, and filled with eye candy. I will root for the Bay Area over any part of the country.

Anyone else going to playoff games this year?

not making a trip, but I will be watching.

The Twins have the magic number to 2 to clinch the AL wildcard, thus showing that the White Sux were indeed a fluke.

It's funny, I like the Yanks, A's, Tigers & the Twins-So I predict an AL World Series win this October.

The NL just cant compete this year-Mets, Cards (Who may not make it, their lead is down to 3 games), Dodgers or Padres & possibly the Phillies.

[DavidMn]

my friend and I are splitting a postseason strip. Theyre nosebleed seats, but one of us will be there each game.:D

[DavidMn]

Whats really goint to be interesting this week is the NL wild card race between San Diego, the DOdgers and the Phillies. It looks like San Diego has a slight bit of seperation from the Dodgers. so it's probably between the Dodgers and Phillies for the last spot. I have a feeling the Dodgers are going to be the odd team out.

I'm hoping the Giants get their s&#^ together this weekend and kick the Dodgers out of the playoffs. That will be one redeeming aspect to this miserable baseball season.

[estranged4life]

Twins to in the whole damn thing this year!!! Too bad the Overrated Braves couldnt be their personal bitch in the World Series this year (ala 1991).

Brian "Atlanta Braves-Personal bitch of the NY Yanks" j.

[ryan8472]

Teams that have clinched:
- Detroit Tigers
- New York Yankees
- Minnesota Twins

Magic number for Oakland A's - 2

- New York Mets

After them, who the hell knows what will happen. :laugh:

[DavidMn]

I cant believe what's happening to the Cardinals!!!:eek: If the Astros overtake them, this will go down as the biggest collapse in baseball history no doubt about it! Now the Cards have lost 7 in a row, and the Astors have won 7 in a row.

it will not be the biggest collapse-There's been collapses of 13 games in the past years.

As for the Cards/Ass-Holes, Could care less (Not a fan of either team)

Right. Not to split hairs but the Cards were ahead by 9 games only a week ago.:nod:
I used to love the Cardinals, but for some reason I just get the cockiest vibe from them lately and it turned me off. They WERE my NL team. :shrug:

[estranged4life]

their work cut out for them now that they have lost Pedro for the rest of the season due to injury.

Also, the Astros won 3-0 and the Cards are losing 9-1 in the bottom of the 7th, so they may be tied for the NL Central lead.

The Tigers lost and the Twins are tied 1-1 in the 11th with the Royals, a Twins victory will also mean a tie in AL Central.

My poor Petey.:distress: El Duque is scheduled for Game 1 and Glavine for 2.

The Mets need to wake up right now. They've had a losing record for September. I think they dropped 13 of 15.

[ryan8472]

Why not try the Giants for a while? They're not cocky, they just stink. :]

I think I'm allergic to Barry Bonds, so no thanks. :laugh:

[DavidMn]

It's down to a half game lead now for the Cards over the Astros. John Kruk last night said if the Astrosd make it, they could very well make it to the world series.

[mikeschmike]

A's are up 4-2 over Twins top of the 9th

5-2 final score, which puts Oakland at 2-0. My Twins are fizzling...wild pitches, errors, etc.

[estranged4life]

the A's are up 2 games to 0 over the Twins with their 5-2 win today. The Twins are just playing too sloppy to come back from a 2-0 deficit, but it can be done.

The Mets & Dodgers just started on ESPN.

It's been a big one all year. Starting pitching has been a major issue. But the bullpen is awesome.

BTW, thanks for the update. I hate ESPN, they want me to pay to watch the game from my desk. They will show just a box score for free. Bastards.

This is what I love about this time of the year. I have a perfectly good excuse to not leave the room for 10 hours at a time. :laugh:

This was the best baseball experience of my life!!! Swinging the rally towel for the A's. I think they are the ones to beat!!!

ryan, the Yanks I think are hot include Posada, Jeter, Rodriguez, but you are way younger than I am, so I don't expect an exact match there. ;) :D

Well A-Rod and Jeter, truthfully, dont do it for me. I always thought Posada was cute in a weird way, but nothing more than that. :p

Mike Mussina on the other hand, is one fine looking man. ;) :nod:

Looks like an A's/Tigers series next week unless NY gets it together asap!

[GODDESS6]

as a red sox fan who is out of it, i am so watching & rooting for the tigers!!!:blob1: ~

[Rickypt]

Yankees are melting. I think the A's will have a tough time getting past Detroit, but at least will have home field advantage. That is, if things continue the way they are going....NY better get going.

[estranged4life]

and A's will be an interesting ALCS.

I'm not watching baseball since I am enjoying Texas kicking O-Who's ass 21-10 in Dallas, Go Texas & hook the "Boo-hoo Sooners"!!!

I think so too. I like Jim Leyland, who should have been the Phillies manager & I like Placido Polanco, who used to play for the Phillies. And, the best thing is that they beat the Yankees.:woohoo: I have nothing at all against Oakland, but I'll root for anyone who can beat the Yankees.:D

[estranged4life]

The New York Daily News is reporting that Yanks manager Joe Torre is expected to be fired today and replaced by Lou Piniella??? Sorry, but firing Torre for the Yanks collapse is a effing joke.

How about firing Pay-Rod instead (Who was 1 for 14 in series against the Tigers)??!!!

[macfan 57]

How about firing Pay-Rod instead (Who was 1 for 14 in series against the Tigers)??!!!

I read this morning they may try to trade him, although with his contract I'm not sure that's possible.

They arent commenting about Torre yet. I personally don't care what they do. :shrug:

As for A-Rod, he did say that if the Yankees were absolutely desperate to get rid of him then he would consider waiving the no-trade clause. I dunno...I just dont like the guy....

I dunno...I just dont like the guy....

He's a total choker. He should come to the Giants, we are a haven for chokers.

If you'll give us Jason Schmidt for him, then by all means, take him. :laugh: :nod:

[DavidMn]

Ok so its down to A's/Tigers and Mets/Cardinals. Here's how I see things going from here:


A's/Tigers: I read today that the A's pitching is in a bit of disarray Seems that they're not sure whos going to start game 1 even. I look for the TIgers to win this series 4-3.

Mets/Cardinals: I dont know quite what to make of this one. Both of these teams have faced quite a bit of adversity the last few weeks. The Cardinals haveing barely backed in, and the Mets pitching in shambles. Somehow they both managed to advance. I jsut think the Mets offense will be too much. Mets 4-2.

I wouldn't mind him, but I just think he would fail in the AL like all the other Javier Vazquez's and Kevin Brown's. :distress:

Jet Carrying Yankees' A-Rod Overshoots Runway

BURBANK, Calif. -- A private jet, carrying Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and six others, overran a runway at Bob Hope Airport on Friday and was brought to a halt by an arresting system.

"I spoke to Alex. He's fine," agent Scott Boras said.

None of the seven people aboard were injured, federal officials said.

The Gulfstream G-II carried five passengers and two crew members, the National Transportation Safety Board said in a statement from Washington, D.C.

The twin-engine jet was stopped by the Engineered Materials Arresting System, a 200-foot-long stretch of pavement injected with air bubbles designed to collapse under the weight of an aircraft as large as a Boeing 737 jet traveling as fast as 50 knots, airport spokesman Victor Gill said.

"It came to a pretty quick stop," Gill said.

Damage to the aircraft was minor, the board said.

An NTSB official was sent to investigate the 11:35 a.m. incident. The board planned to retrieve the cockpit voice recorder, gather radar data and evaluate how well the arresting system worked.

There was no indication that the jet's crew reported any problems before landing or that the runway was wet, according to Tealeye Cornejo, an NTSB air safety investigator. Investigators will look into whether the jet had already arrived and was taxing at the time of the accident or whether it overshot the runway upon landing, she said.

The aircraft, registered to a Wilmington, Del., corporation, approached from the west and landed on one of the airport's two runways. The runway was closed and reopened at 3:30 p.m. after the plane was moved, Gill said.

Bob Hope Airport, in the San Fernando Valley north of downtown Los Angeles, is used by seven airlines and private aircraft.

A Southwest Airlines jet skidded off a runway and crashed through a concrete barrier at the airport in 2000, injuring 43 passengers and the captain. The flight from Las Vegas went too fast and descended at a steep angle when it landed, according to a NTSB report.

That jet ended up on a city street near a gas station.

[DavidMn]

SO the Cards and Mets are now tied 2-2. I swear the Mets Pitching is the biggest train wreck ever. It seems like these 2 teams are battling for the right to get their ass kicked by the Tigers.
