2010 MLB Playoffs

[chuckywang]

Amazing the Cubs have been so bad in the postseason with a very decent sample size.

[Sammy Sofa]

That's not amazing. The Cubs usually suck and their scattered few playoff seasons have mostly been outliers for the last 65 years.

[J.R.]

That was awesome.

last time Lee beat the Yankees that bad was at Chancellorsville in '63

For lack of a stronger knowledge of the English language I am going to say it was "funny" to see the local news sports guy report from outside the stadium sometime around the top of the 9th and describing how Lee was dominating the game, and also how he was a soon-to-be free agent who the Yankees are going to throw a bunch of money toward.

And this is why I hate the Yankees and their fans.

[javy knows my name]

Their sense of entitlement is pretty maddening sometimes.

Cliff Lee would be my favorite non-Cub ever if he refused to sign with the Yankees just out of principle and because he likes beating them so much.

 

Of course, as the great "Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase always used to say, "Everbody's got a price" and I'm sure the Yankees will find his.

[expletive] wanting to be the Red Sox; I'd be the biggest Ricketts fan in the world if he said he wanted this team to be the Yankees.

Eh, I'd settle for St. Louis.

[Sammy Sofa]

Just an extension of the feasting on a shitty division mentality that drives them now. I want the whole thing.

But they were able to make that mentality work and got a title out of it this decade, not to mention several very good seasons, and only 1 actually bad one.

 

I agree that I much rather prefer going the Phillies route and building the best team in the league, not just your division. But anything would be an improvement.

I'd love to have the Phillies model of Minor League development. Their core is all homegrown.

Imagine the rating juggernaut of a Rangers-Giants World Series.

[OleMissCub]

Imagine the rating juggernaut of a Rangers-Giants World Series.

 

probably so, but that series will have at least one viewer that wouldn't be watching a Phillies-Yankees World Series.

[erik316wttn]

Imagine the rating juggernaut of a Rangers-Giants World Series.

 

I don't give a flying leap about ratings. I want good baseball, and no Yankees. That WS would satisfy both.

 

Lincecum vs. Lee? Yes please.

[Careless]

Am I hearing a sporadic "Let's go Dodgers" chant at the Giants game?

To paraphrase the well-known saying: If you can't beat 'em, sign 'em.

What the [expletive] is replay worth if you won't use it?

 

Awful.

[Wilson A2000]

One Yankee fan who was not even going for the ball obviously pushed Cruz's mitt away. Granted it was after the ball had been missed, but you still can't do that. That fan has to be kicked out.

Awful.

That was on a judgement call, can't review it.

[ELCABALLO45]

God that is awesome.
