2009 MLB Playoffs

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Right after the umpire calls a ball that has been a strike all game, Jimenez serves up a gopher ball to Werth.

2-0.

After the fifth, it's still 1-0 Phils.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Through four and it's a real pitchers duel. Phillies lead 1-0.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

After 3 complete, the Phils are hanging onto a 1-0 lead. Phils had the bases loaded and 1 out in the third and shock of shocks they couldn't bring in a run, as Werth and Ibanez both struck out. After retiring 7 in a row, Lee gave up a walk to Gonzalez, but got out of the inning on a DP ball by Fowler.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Through 2 innings, and it's 1-0 Phils. Both Lee and Jiminez seem to have settled in nicely after both had shaky first innings.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

1-0 Phillies after an inning, on a Shane Victorino solo shot. Lee got himself into trouble, giving up hits to the first two batters. A controversial out at second, a strike out of Tulo and a ground out by Atkins and the inning was over without any damage.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Yeah, I know that, but since both ALDS games ended yesterday, it's a long wait till Game 1 of the ALCS. Both teams are done.....let them play on Wednesday!!

True - it would have been funnier if the Phils or Rockies had swept also, leading to 4 straight off days.

Punching Bob from Bob's Discount furniture in the face?

You must do this. This HAS to be done.

NuJersey- YOu heard the man... make this happen...

On this topic, I can only quote my friend: "I hate that ****er so much, but I keep buying his ****." I myself have never actually bought anything from Bob.

I believe the 2 Game 5s for the ALDS were scheduled for Wednesday, so it's not that long.

Now that the Red Sox are out of the playoffs, the question remains: What will I be spending my 20% Jordan's coupon on?

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

So, the next round doesn't start til Friday???? That seems like a ridiculously long wait.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Thankfully, I'm sheltered from that stuff by about 900 miles.

I don't want to lynch Papelbon. I just don't want to buy into the mythology.

Foulke was huge in 04. But when the team realized he had peaked, they weren't sentimental about it. I'm not saying Papelbon is through like Foulke was - but he's not God's gift to RS Nation.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Holy crap, I guess that makes two things we can agree on, then.

Papelbon's been way too full of himself for a long time, now. He can get away with pacing forever, and trying to stare down batters when he faces the Clevelands and Baltimores of the world. But NY and Anaheim aren't buying it.

Red Sox and Yankee fans united over hating the Angels? That's an unholy alliance if I ever saw one. Jon, I know how you feel about potentially hating the Angels more than the Yankees right now. Many times in the last three or four seasons I've experienced a similar sensation vis a vis the Red Sox.

He's a good reliever, but he's also kind of a stupid redneck. And the Pink Hats love him... He's not the new Calvin Schiraldi, but had 2004 and 2007 not happened, we would be up there with Galehouse, Torres, Buckner, Grady, et al... Seeing the local media turn on him and Tom Brady this morning has been bizarre. Next I'll be seeing "Larry Bird is a communist" and "Bobby Orr eats kittens" on the back of the Herald.

Re: 2009 MLB Playoffs

Saw this posted on another board and laughed. And would have shelled out money for an actual paper if it had happened:

If there were any women newspaper editors (or headline subeditors), who could doubt that the back page in Boston today would read "Pap Smeared"? No man would ever come up with that, and it needs to happen.

So, the next round doesn't start til Friday???? That seems like a ridiculously long wait.
