Okay these are my kind of series. Cards and D-backs are coming back! Yay!
3 series down to the last game.

Yanks and Tigers tonight - Nova vs Fister. Great pitching match up.

Tomorrow is both national finals. D-backs send Kennedy against Gallardo.
And, Cards send Carpenter against Halliday.

Exciting stuff.

Dominique 10-06-2011 03:38 PM

Some disturbing news from the Pirates front office.

ALL of the management/ coaches will be back next year

:| so much for the *accountability* rhetoric. The Pirates had the most strike outs in all of MLB. Shouldn't the hitting
coach be held accountable?

:hamactor:Well, of course facebook has the answer. The year before, (under a different hitting coach) the Pirates didn't hit. They just stood there.

i hope fister shows what he is made of, ... the good stuff, not the bad lol.
i feel like he will be better prepared to face yankee hitters,
and detroit hitters will be better prepared to face nova.

i just can't believe burnett did that well lol. i just knew he would be gone
by the 3rd/4th inning.

go tigers!!

Tigers advance! WOOT! Yes, Kobe, they had me worried, too! Exciting game. I'm sticking with them vs. Texas. I think they can go to the WS.

macele 10-06-2011 10:03 PM

aj burnett, sorry bout that. pitches for the yankees.

i didn't watch the 7th inning of the tigers/yankees, ... too nervous.
great game.

the yankees are so used to winning, ... it kinda felt like they thought
the game was just gonna come to them. after all, they are the yankees!
they are in shock mode lol.

but you know, to beat the yankees ... that's a smart, skilled group of players.
the tigers can say they've beat a great team.

bigbutchmistie 10-06-2011 10:08 PM

I am so glad the Rangers will be playing the Tigers :) I am so hoping they can win this year... Im not usually a baseball fan but since we all know the Cowboys aint gonna do shit and the Mavs won their first championship ever well Im holding out believing in the Rangers :)

betenoire 10-06-2011 11:31 PM

GO TIGERS!!!!

I was at work, so I couldn't watch the game. But I had ESPN open in my browser to the score/play-by-play game in my browser and "watched" (refreshed) all night.

So excited!

I was thinking about you tonight during the game! Are you going to be able to go to more tiger play-off games? I am soooooooooooo envious!!

I think they are going to get there- thought that all season. Lots of talent and smarts on that team. Verlander is going to pitch Saturday!

I won't get to go to the play-offs again. :( It's Canadian thanksgiving this weekend and I will be at my parents place for a week.

So they had better make it to the World Series. Me and Nick have tickets for game 5.

Starbuck 10-07-2011 12:30 AM

You're Out!
 
Since I am a Red Sox fan and I truly hate the Yankees, I am so pleased now that they too are OUT of the running for the World Series!

Another good, nail biter game.

Congrats Brew crew!

D-backs had plenty of chances but just didnt have one more trick play up their sleeve.

Ok time for the Cardinals to pull off the impossible. Then my wish for Tigers vs Cards for the WS will be one step closer to reality.

I couldn't watch it, but did listen on the radio between classes. I so wanted the D-backs to win!!! They have been smacking my Giants around all season and I thought- "OK, go on and get in the series, you deserve it!" Also Kirk Gibson has grown on me as a manager. He has done such a great job turning that team around.

OK... now what will happen with the Cards!!!

Kobi 10-07-2011 09:15 PM



Wooohoo Cardinals did it! What a pitchers duel!

Fantastic baseball night.

So Texas vs Detroit and Brewers vs Cardinals.

Still going with Tigers and Cardinals.


macele 10-07-2011 10:06 PM

the play by rafael furcal in the bottom of the 8th, 6-3...
that was all heart. man he was determined.
i bet that's the hardest he has ever thrown a ball in his life.
i'm not so sure placido polanco was out. i haven't seen the replay close up.
dang what a play!

then nick punto makes a great play at 2nd, 4-3.
two hustle plays, excellent.

chris carpenter's pitching and the defense behind him, ...
gave it all they had. enjoyed.

macele 10-07-2011 10:13 PM

yeah, polanco was out lol !! wow, what a hustle-heart play by furcal.

highlights ...

I knew in my gut the Cards could beat the Phillies because they play finess base ball. I think (i'm not sure exactly) this is the third time the Phillies have dominated the division and lost in the play offs.

Go Tigers, Go Cards, Now, ELIMINATE the Brewers!

The Phillies have been in the playoffs 5 years in a row. I agree- the Cards under LaRussa are a finess club. Have some scrapperdom, too! I'm glad they advanced. Not happy the Brewers did.

Inuus 10-08-2011 07:46 AM

I dont follow baseball alot..but at the beginning of the year I thought it would be the Red Sox or Yankees against the Phillies. Disappointed about the BoSox, but not about the Phillies. Now I'm hoping for The Brewers.

What team of the remaining teams has not won a World Series in the longest time?

This would be a nce world series. The Cardnials came from essentially a #3 in the wildcard slot just days away from the end of the season and the Tigers hung around a .500 club most of the season......Cinderellas, so to speak.

Yup, my scrapper, freaks won in 2010! Whoa- didn't know the Cards have won that many! And it has been a long time for the Brewers. Hummm... Texas hasn't won one.

But, I am a National League fan.... so....

Wow, I didnt realize the Brewers have never won a WS. I thought they had won a few back in the days of Robin Yount, Paul Molitor, Gorman Thomas, Cecil Cooper, Rollie Fingers et al.

And I forgot they used to be the Seattle Pilots too.

So the Rangers and Brewers have never won....ordinarily I would automatically root for those who have never won before. It would be cool if they would face one another in the WS.

But, I am still stuck on the Tigers and Cards for the present. That is even tho the Cards wiped the field with my Red Sox back in 67. Gawd that was a series to remember with the likes of Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, Orlando Cepeda, Steve Carlton, Tim McCarver vs Rico Petrocelli, Yaz, George Scott, Ken Harrelson, Reggie Smith, Jim Lonborg.

Then again, it was the Cards the Sox beat in 2004 to win their first title since the early 1900's.

World Series Facts
Teams that have never won a World Series:

I did not know where the Brewers came from, they just showed up one year :seeingstars:. I have sour grapes when it comes to them, as you have read over and over, due to their arrogance. Even the Phillies did not act like that and in my opinion, they were a better team. Win/ loss anyhow.

Ah, but were they really scrappers? Yes hot and cold...Baseball is streaky. You guys got HOT again for the playoffs and Dominated with your pitching, and showed many flashes of that, this year.

In retrospect (me reviewing why the Pirates kept that batting coach) Baseball is really a game of failures.

If you go to the dish and miss 7 times.....(7 failures) you are batting .300

True, so many other things factor in But a .300 hitter is paid millions. They don't call it a .700 looser. OK, done thinkinng out loud.

I fell asleep during the Tiger game last night. Darn! Tigers down one in the series with a 3 to 2 loss to the Texas.

Delmon Young is out for the remainder of the season:hamactor:
That obligue muscle is worse than they initially thought. I think they will miss that bat. He batted .316 against the yankees 6 hits in 19 trips to the dish, 3 of them home runs.

OK :goodluck:, Jim Leyland, I have faith, keep them focused.
Go Tigers.
