2010 MLB Playoffs

[Magnetic Curses]

even though it was right down the middle so he shouldn't. howard got fooled.

Congrats, Giants.

 

Looking forward to at least 2 games of Lincecum vs. Lee.

[Sammy Sofa]

Nasty, nasty pitch. That was perfect.

[Careless]

Apparently I still hate the giants for the 89 series.

 

I hated Will Clark for pretty much the rest of his career.

Well, yes, but he retired a pretty long time ago.

[Little Slide Rooter]

And Mike Fontenot is going to the World Series. 1/25 of our opening day roster isnt too bad I guess.

[UMFan83]

Wow either the Giants (1954) or Rangers (never) are gonna win the world series.

 

I hope the Giants win, and then the Indians do next year so there is 71 years between the next longest team (I think the Pirates of 79) and the Cubs.

[Careless]

For some reason I had no idea how tall Huff was before this game

Dammit, why must you be made of gloom?

[Careless]

Best interview reaction ever

I have no reason to believe that the Indians will be anywhere near the World Series anytime soon, but I guess the same could have been said about the Giants and the Rangers a few years back. Still I have no reason to believe that the Indians will be anywhere near the World Series anytime soon.

 

And dont forget the Brewers, Mariners, Astros, and Natspos.

I kind of hope the Cubs win myself.

[SpongeWorthy]

Also the Padres and Mariners off the top of my head would be in the gap between the Pirates and Cubs. Probably some others too.

Get outta here with that crap.

That's a nice thought. As Kevin Garnett says "ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE!"

[Wilson A2000]

Does Mitch Williams have turrets? :D

TBF, I wouldn't wish Cleveland's overall professional sports record on anyone.

[Little Slide Rooter]

Oh yeah, forgot about the Padres. My guess is that they trade Adrian in the offseason, hopefully to the Cubs, but probably not, and dont sniff .500 again for quite some time.

Fixed.

I was more or less talking about teams that have won before.

 

Yanks - 09

Sox - 07

O's - 83

Rays - Never

Blue jays - 93

White Sox - 05

Twins - 91

Indians - 48

Royals - 85

Tigers - 84

Angels - 02

Rangers - Never

Mariners - Never

A's - 89

Phillies - 08

Braves - 95

Mets - 86

Nationals - Never

Marlins - 03

Cardinals - 06

Brewers - Never

Astros - Never

Reds - 90

Cubs - 08

Pirates - 79

Dodgers - 88

Giants - 54

Rockies - Never

Diamondbacks - 01

Padres - Never

 

So yeah of teams that have won before it goes Cubs (08), Indians (48), Giants (54), Pirates (79), Orioles (83)

[Little Slide Rooter]

Nice to see these 2 teams make it to the series, but I have little doubt that this series will beat the 2005 White Sox/Astros series for least watched in history.

[SpongeWorthy]

IIRC, the Phillies/Rays series is the lowest rated of all time. I think this one will do better than that.

[OleMissCub]

Harold Reynolds saying this Phils/Giants series is one of the biggest upsets in baseball history.... Might be some hyperbole there. Although I suppose I'd have to check.

[SpongeWorthy]

I really don't think there's such a thing as a huge upset in playoff baseball.

 

Edit: besides the Cubs of course

[Sammy Sofa]

IIRC, the Phillies/Rays series is the lowest rated of all time. I think this one will do better than that.

 

Yeah, the White Sox/Astros one was the lowest rated of all time, but all of the next ones dipped below that until the Yanks and Phillies last year.

[OleMissCub]

Why do we even care about ratings? How is it relevant at all to regular folks like us?
