MLB Postseason 2009

[jon abbey]

sorry, man. exciting game, I don't feel so good about winning it.

the one thing is that Mauer has to try to score on that hit up the middle from second with no one out. I don't know if the third base coach thought Melky was still out there, but Gardner has no arm.

Cuzzi strikes again!

Phil Cuzzi. Down the line. He has one type of call to make the whole game and he blows it.

Love the pitch zone showing how arbitrary Merriwether's zone was.

I hope this current trend holds and we don't see another Yankees-Red Sox ALCS.

Twins totally screwed on that Mauer hit down the line, the level of incompetence of the umps is mindboggling.

One of the worst calls I've ever seen.

Almost as bad as the TBS Pitch Trax. I can't believe they didn't just shut that thing off. What a complete debacle.

His strike zone was arbitrary, but that TBS thing bears no resemblance to a major league strike zone. There isn't an ump in MLB who calls a zone that tight.

The ones I'm talking about were shown slicing the heart that he called balls.

But, yeah, it's silly and distracting. I'm almost missing 4/3 TV so it was cut out of the picture.

Phillies/Rockies snowed out, games 3 and 4 now scheduled for Sunday/Monday.

I didn't know which thread to post this in since it's not sport-specific, so here goes. Hard not to think of our own Captain Hate reading these.

LOL; I kind of like the Iggle and Raidazz fans in the same way that I like professional wrestling . I'll defer to you on the Canucks's fans Nags, although the recent fairly long-term decline of Les Habs is a sign to me that there's a God. Even Tanager is embarrassed at what Dook fans have become although if Roy hadn't rescued the Holes from D'oh, they'd be right up there. Somehow they should find a way to include Florida Marlin fans, who stay away in large numbers even when the team is contending. Penn State has a few good fans that get stained by the vast majority of vile idiots with family trees that look like telephone poles.

St. Louis Cardinals fans FTW.

Wow.

St. Louis Cardinals fans FTW.

Wow.

I missed the start of the game, but does this mean they gave Holliday an ovation? LaRussa asked them to, right?

[jon abbey]

Pedro bumped from his start with the snowout, now Happ gets it (Phillies fans must be very relieved).

also, if Boston wins game 3 tomorrow behind Buchholz, Lester will start game 4 on 3 days rest, not Matsuzaka.

[Steve Reynolds]

I may well feel your pain tomorrow around 4:00, Michael

I don't care for the Cardinals much but I can't stand the Dodgers....


GO Phillies???

St. Louis Cardinals fans FTW.
