I'm not happy abput the way the Red Sox played last night, but Lackey's a good pitcher so I'll tip my hat to him and see what happens in game 2 tonight.

Two run homer by A-Rod and a game-ending Tex message in the 11th inning. Hope Mark had a hankering for some piiiiiiie!

How about possibly playing the coldest playoff game in MLB history Saturday night? It's supposed to get down to 28 degrees with snow showers in Denver. Pedro Martinez is starting for the Phils. If there's a weather delay, they don't have Jamie Moyer to bail out Pedro.

Seriously, how can you pitch in sub freezing temperatures? Last years WS in Philly was pretty bad in the low 40's. At least the Phils had an advantage over the dome living Tampa Bay Rays.

offense better awake for game 3 or they will be toast.

Lets go Angels!

Lets go Dodgers!

don't they know playing the odds and loading the bases never works? Apparently not.

Enjoy the "tee-time" in the morning boys.

Oops, bye Sox! Hoping the Yanks get it done tonight. No use stretching this stuff out!

Last night's Phillies/Rockies game was postponed because of snow and tonight, the high is 31. I'm guessing that's pretty freaking cold even for the home team, so it'll be interesting to see how that goes. If they make it to the WS, let's hope they schedule some day games?

Disappointed to see the Twins get bounced but at least the Sox are out of the picture. I'll be happy as long as the Yanks and the Angels don't pull it off.

Im unhappy that the Red Sox fell apart in the 9th inning like they did, but it just wasnt their year this year. I was watching the Phillies/Rockies game and I know all you Phillie fans out tehre **** your pants when Liddge came in in the 9th!

Somehow he held on for the save though.

Would repeating "oh no, oh no, OH NO!" many times over count?

(now I can).
For some reason Charlie Manuel gets a lot of flak from certain Phillies fans that can never be pleased. I thought last night was one of his best high risk decision making games.

BTW this TBS coverage is the absolute worst. Knowing that the game was going to be played in temperatures below 30, did they not move to the afternoon? Why am I watching baseball at 2AM EDT? They could've made the Yankee/Twins game the late game since it was played indoors.

It never got above 30 all day, as it was. Why the owners of the Colorado Rockies built a stadium that DIDN'T have a roof is what boggles MY mind. Did they just assume that they'd never be playing in October or what?

Not even just October, but I'd guess it's pretty chilly in April still too. I guess they probably start their season on the road but even so, they must have to play in Colorado at some point in April. I remember one year, the Yankees were playing their season opener in a snow squall in New York. I still have a vivid image of Bernie Williams with his turtleneck up past his nose. I'd find it hard to believe that it doesn't happen in Colorado too! Seriously, someone wasn't thinking when they built that stadium. Perhaps the same someone who didn't put a retractable roof the Rangers new stadium, where they can rarely play day games due to the heat.

Well that's all over, Phillies won. Did you know the Twins are getting an outdoor field without a roof next year? That's more insane than playing in Denver. They are going to miss the Metrodome, without that building the Twins would not have two WS championships.

Now it's the Phillies/Dodgers rematch (Part 5, if you count 77,78,83,08)!! Prepare for some great baseball, too bad the Cardinals lacked any heart to put up a fight. Ever since the All-Star game I was told by MLB experts that the Cardinals were the best team in baseball. That's why I'll take a "salt of the earth" baseball manager over an "intellectual thinker!?!" super-hyped ego filled airbag such as Tony LaRussa.

LaRussa should've won three World Series in a row from 1988-90 with the A's. They were favored in every series. He lost to the Dodgers because that team had the heart of Kirk Gibson, but they weren't as talented. I think he won in '89 because of the S.F. earthquake, that was such a game changer. In '90 he was swept by the Reds, and the Reds weren't supposed to win one WS game.

I wished that the Cardinals had won the NLDS, because the Phillies would've destroyed them. Now with Joe Torre's Dodgers, it's going to be a decent fight.

I fear the Angels, so I hope the Yankees win in the A.L..
