MLB playoffs

So far;

-Won't be surprised if Cleveland keeps up the hitting frenzy again today.

-Lou Pinella...huh?? doesn't pinch hit for Zambrano w/bases juiced, then pulls him in the bottom half of the inning??? 85 pitches only???, because you were 'saving him for game 4'????? Hey Sweet Lou, at the rate your team is going there won't be a game 4. My fatalistic Cub buddies back in Chicago are already phoning this one in.

-Stunned the Rockies have kept it going and the Phils didn't get at least a split. Sorry CT, but don't give up hope yet. The Phillies are a tough team and if they win game 3, the pressure will revert back onto the Rocks.

 

Hehe, it's a best-of-five series, fellas. Your boys played a nice game last night. They were lucky Joe Torre was trying to win the game for them. Oh wait, you mean he though bringing a rookie with 6.1 Innings of Major League experience into a four-run game would be good for the Yankees? Could have fooled me.

Meanwhile. how do you guys feel about LeBron being a Yankee fan? Is this better or worse than Tom Brady wearing the Yankee cap in Boston a few months ago? I say worse because LeBron actually wore his to a playoff game and he is the only reason Cleveland basketball fans haven't committed mass suicide yet.

 

At least the interviewer kinda called him out a little (calling him a front runner or something like that) since he supports the Yankees, Dallas Cowboys, and Chicago Bulls (best teams when he was growing up). Everyone here at work today is saying how much of an idiot LeBron is. Shows his true character. Tosser.

 

LeBron has an excuse, he didnt get a college education.

 

i'm w/ ya dtw. Come on Rockies....keep this momentum goin!!!

 

Now thats just more good TV, Tribe fans!

:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

 

I'm REALLY happy for you guys... you are nominal Ohioans after all.

 

Why is that?

 

never been described as "nominal" before. I have spent a third of my life in C-Town now you know!!!

 

I hope Lebron is crying in his huge pillow

 

LeBron the 'bandwaggoner' ... the concept is rich!

Good on the Indians... nice to see one competent Ohio pro team, besides the Cav's of course.

Joe Torre, he doesnt need this aggravation, does he?

I dont know why people dont understand it takes more than assembling a bunch of pedigreed stars.

 

Well, let that be a lesson to ya. For all you knew, the Marlins would have stocked up and come out from under that rock to make everyone look stupid AGAIN!

But THIS year it seems that Cleveland {sorta} Arizona and Colo did that. I like it when the unexpected happens all the way to the finish... let's face it, the Sox are battling 3-1 odds, and that's not just being superficial.

 

4 well deserving teams who were all clearly better than their opponents in the first round.

Looks to be the end of the Joe Torre era (probably will be let go today or tomorrow). After seven years w/out a title and over a billion spent on payroll it's probably time. Personally, the GM Cashman should be leaving w/him (there's 4 or 5 guys making 10 million + who are average players at best). Early odds on Joe Giradi as the next Skip. Hopefully Nick will lend some Yankee perspective.

The National league has two teams w/bandwagon fans, small TV markets, and west of the Mississippi (wonder if the TBS people wanted a Philly/Chicago series ????). I'll go w/the Rocks in 6.

The American League is a series even non-fans should watch. I have to think it's gonna go seven games. I'm pulling for Cleveland, more so just because the city hasn't won a title in any sport since???? (my guess is the Browns in the 50's sometime). While Beantown is spoiled w/all kinds of championships the last decade. I'll go w/Cleveland in 7

 

Rocks in 6 over Dbacks and then on to the World Series. Broncos are for once playing 2nd fiddle in Denver in the month of october.

 

It is days like today when your confidence in the world is restored. Cleveland has defeated those contemptable Yankees and all is right. Go Tribe!

 

Totally agree Heather. I love the Sox too, but I've been loathing the commercialization of the team and park, and its yuppie fanbase since 2003 when it became "cool" to follow them. If you dont remember 1999, you aren't a fan.

I'm torn between them and the Indians, as I feel they should win the world series considering they haven't since 1949. As long as the d-bags (oops! d-backs) and rockies dont win it, I'll be happy. Neither of those franchises deserve it like the AL teams do.
