The Official Post-Season Baseball Thread
 

Either David or I was bound to create a thread eventually, so I figure, hey, why not. :p

It's that time of the year again. Playoff time! Today's results:

Cardinals - 8
Padres - 5

White Sox - 14
Red Sox - 2

Current score: Yankees 4, Angels 0. Top 5th.

So we have a would-be blow out (San Diego came back) and a full fledged massacre. A pretty shocking start to this post season. Thoughts?

Ya left off...
 

that I wouldve started a thread too...

The Cards looked their usual selves (Shouldve buried the Padres instead of let 'em slowly get back into the game), but the BoSox looked & played like **** (Where did the BoSo vaunted offense go???) and the Yanks look great (Thus far).

You're right. The Red Sox got nothing out of their pitchers, and the Cards bullpen almost blew it. Meanwhile, Mike Mussina, Robinson Cano and Jason Giambi are doing quite nicely in Anaheim. ;) :nod:

I know, you would've made this thread too. ;) :D

Well...
 

the Yanks are looking very good goin' into the top of the 9th...Mussina shut the Angels down bigtime.

WHat an Ass whuppin my Red Sox took yesterday UGH.. :mad:

WHy is it that Puny Yankee second baseman always do so well? :p (See October 2, 1978)

And Peavy is out for the rest of the postseason too, broken ribs. I think they're playing Taps in Petco Park as we speak.....

I was very happy yesterday. My Cardinals won and the Red Sox got the **** kicked out of them. :thumbsup:

I'm rooting for the Angels over the Yankees, but in all honesty they don't have a chance.

Yankees SUCK :mad:

Back to your regullarly scheduled programming :wavey:

Now..now...
 

shouldnt that be the Braves (Or George Bush for that matter) that sucks?? Cause everyone knows today is the start of the yearly migration to destinations away from Atlanta for their players after yet another Braves collapse in the post-season...Hell, I set my vacation to the Braves collapse each and every October since it is as predictable as another Texas Longhorn choke against the Oklahoma Gooners, I meant Sooners in Dallas.

My poor Braves :laugh:

Ok I know this is the baseball thread, but I have to say I miss Barry Switzer. He was a real moron, but how entertaining!!!!

It fits the Cubs quite nicely, too.

I hate Switzer...
 

I hope overrated Barry & his new ass-puppet Toby Keith die!

Hey Barry, Ya seem to forget that ya destroyed the O-Who program before ya ended up leaving O-Who for the bigger cesspool known as the Dallas Convicts, I meant Cowboys!

Brian "No ass-puppets allowed" j.

I know we suck...
 

and yer point would be???

Ass Puppet? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yep...
 

ass puppet!!! Which is what Toby "OU Nutswinger" Keith is.

Yo Toby, Sit down before ya fall down ya backwoods inbred yokel-tard!!!

Brian "OU blows goats, And yes I have proof...But nonetheless O-Who will probably still beat Texas this weekend" j.

Damn , you are making me laugh today :lol: Thanks, I needed that.

Nothing. Just like everyone knows the Braves suck. I'll take them over the Cubs though.

:mad: :mad: :mad: :p

Why is it they can never seem to get over the hump? It never ceases to amaze me how they fold in the postseason. At least they had that one championship in '95.

Such as beating the...
 

Buffalo Bills in a Super Bowl, A World Series victory over the Indians doesnt count for anything...Sorry Brave fans (Which I remember, don't Atlanta's own fans never show up for home playoff games cause even they know the outcome in advance???)

The Braves should move back to Milwaukee where they came from (Even better move back to Boston where ya originally came from.)

Sorry, Jason. I actually was a loyal Braves fan for a long time. They've broken my little heart to much though. :p

You know, I have a little story to share with you. The AAA team there the 89'ers I think is still a affiliate of the Rangers. I heard recently that Ivan Rodriguez is getting divorsed, and I remember reading that right before he was called up to the Rangers in '91, he and his wife married at hom plate there. U remember that?

If I remember right...
 

that happened at the old 89ers stadium at the Oklahoma State Fairground (Which is now a parking lot)in OKC.

I was never a Rangers fan until the past couple of years (After "Pay-Rod" left...While I like the Yanks, I dont care for that money grubbing "Pay-Rod") and that is mainly because we are Oklahoma RedHawks fans (Still the AAA affiliate of the Rangers...Just a new & better name and a great stadium in downtown OKC.)

Brian "Once was a Braves fan...Until my hometown cable company added WGN to the cable system...Goodbye Braves, Hello Cubs!!!" j.

You can have 'em...
 

and their wife beating manager Bobby "Gonna go home and punch the wife" Cox (He is one of the reasons I rip on the Braves so hard...I betcha if he was to hit his wife now, unlike how he did years ago when Billionaire nutjob Ted "Where's my Lithium" Turner bailed his ass out, he would go directly to jail...Do not pass go, do not advance to the World Series and collect $200!)

I'll pass. Jason can have them.

I've liked the Cardinals for awhile now anyway.

All I can say to that is "It is long indeed since we saw one of Durin's folk in Caras Galadhon."

I like the Cards too...
 

but I am skeptical after last year's choke to the BoSox...If they make it this year they better win the damn thing :nod:

Hey speaking of the Braves, I'm sure you remember the '91 world series against the Twins? I was at all 4 games in Minnesota. Those last 2 were unbelieveable games to be at!

I was living in NOLA at that time and in law school - thus, I paid little attention :laugh:

Oh really? you;re a lawyer? Maybe I can call u for legal advice if I ever need it. :laugh:

Ouch.

Well, I've clearly gone to the dark side. My new residence shall be, Minas Morgul. Durin's folk indeed. :rolleyes:

2 names...
 

Game 6-Kirby Puckett's awesome catch against the wall and his HR
Game 7-Jack Morris shutting the Braves down

One of the best World Series I have seen (Ranks right up there with the 2001 Arizona/Yanks series).

Yeah, '87 was not wuite as good, although I still HATE WHitey Herzog to this day for disrespecting the Twins SOOOOO much that world series. He kept whining about how the Metrodome wasnt "Real" baseball and that they wouldve won if they had Jack Clark who was hurt. I know the Twins were only 85-77 that year, but If I ever see him I'll tell him the same line that Jack Nicholson said to Tom Cruise in A Few Good Men "YOU CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH!!!!!!" Either win or shut up WHitey, no excuses!!!

LOL - I LOVE LOTR!!!!!

Game updates!

Yankees - 4
Angels - 2
FINAL

Braves - 1
Astros - 1
Bottom 2ND

Chipper hit a homer in the 1st to tie it. :cool:

The Yankees really looked good last night. I hope they keep up the good work. :nod:

Today's later games:

Red Sox @ White Sox - 7PM EST
Yankees @ Angels - 10PM EST

3-1 Astros. Bottom 3rd. :D

I'm not surprised in the least.

Hudson is as wild today as Clement was yesterday. Houston just doesn't have the bats that Chicago does.

4-1. ;)
