Good idea for a thread boblee.
Sorry I havent been able to contribute but I havent been able to see very much of the playoffs so far.
I watched the NL wild card tiebreaker and that guy stll hasnt touched home plate.
I saw a little of Beckett's performance the other night and he was very good. If he can pitch like that , the Bosox are in good shape.
Yankees? You just cant win in the postseason without pitching. I dont know if they have enough to beat CLE. The pressure is on Pettite big time in game 2.
Id like to see our Central Division rivals win. I love watching that team hit. Travis Hafner is worth the ticket price. He is like that guy in the movie Major League that Charlie Sheen finally strikes out.

Cubs can't hit, I guess their fans will have to wait for next year, yet again.

I really admire these teams that put the full court press on the weak and wounded this time of year.
BOS already up a deuce on ANA in the 1st.
Meanwhile the Tribe is real close to putting a sleeperhold on the Pinstripes, two on nobody down in the bottom of the 11th.

Is that Hafner who does those caveman commercials?
Put a wig on him and he's a ringer.
And a game winner too...

Maybe next year.
They caught the same bug the Twins had about a year ago.

The Cubs at least got some hits, the Phillies couldn't buy a hit tonight.
I love TBS' coverage, much better than the sickening love ESPN shows for the Yankees, Cubs, and Red Sox.
ARod 0-6 this post season, lifetime post season he's 0 for his last 27 on the road. The Yankees lose tomorrow and ARod continues to make Nick Punto look like Ted Williams and the New York media will have a field day with his ineptness.
The best argument for no playoffs in College football happend today in USC/Stanford and LSU/Florida. With a playoff LSU doesn't play for the win and doesn't go for it 4 times on 4th down in the last 5 minutes of their game. With a playoff USC/Stanford meant nothing - same with Wisconsin, Michigan and a bunch of other teams that didn't show up for a game so far this year.

I kind of agree - particularly Tony Gwynn. His voice always bugs me a little bit, but he's very articulate and is clearly one of the most knowledgeable baseball guys around. If Bob Brenly would shut his trap so Tony could get fill us in a little bit more, I'd like the broadcasts even better.

I've never understood why they have three-man booths, all it creates is a traffic problem.

So much for the Rally Monkey and so much for the fightin' Phills.
3 Sweeps so far but the Yankees look like they will push it to a game four.

Interesting that the Yankees are the only repeat team from 06 playoffs.
We have whined (and rightfully so) about the Twins this year but join the club, the list is long.
I say the Yanks make it "all square" while their offense goes on a tear tonight.

I was so overjoyed that I broke down and wept after Damon hit the 3-run shot last night to vault his scuffling team from a 3-2 deficit to a 5-3 lead. I don't even want the Yankees to win, but seeing a guy deliver at the plate in the clutch is a thing of beauty.

I'm surprised you could recognize it.

It was great to see and I am cheering for our AL Central rivals.
If the Yanks do come back and win, that wiil be the AB every one will point to as the momemtum changer.

Was it "Yankee Mystique" or were they playing to save Mr. Torre's gig? Further, was that a legitimate threat by Mr. Steinbrenner?

I think it was a hanging slider.
