2010 MLB Playoffs

[NCCubFan]

Oh well.

 

We going to get an answer on your trivia question, Truffle?

 

it's either don larsen or roy halladay. you'll have to do the leg work from there.

Halladay had a 10.64 ERA (67.2 IP) in 2000. Larsen's perfect game was not his first post-season start (he had one the previous year).

We no longer have the longest active postseason losing streak as Minnesota just reached 10 games with theirs

 

At least there's someone who can out-Cub the Cubs.

 

You're kidding, right?

 

only the cubs. and now the twins.

[erik316wttn]

This is certainly the year of the pitcher. A nice change of pace. Three perfect games this year (I'm counting Gallaraga's), like 4 no-hitters, a ton of low ERA's and high-K totals. It's nice to see the game even out again.

[jersey cubs fan]

I can't believe Tampa's ownership is forcing the jewish pitcher out there in a must win game.

No, not really.

 

Not going to turn this into a big thing (as I'm sure a lot of others will. I'm hunkering down for a lot of flame and hate to be thrown my way), but you said that WE had the longest postseason losing streak. The Cubs did. And now it was passed. So at least there was someone who craps the bed worse than we do in the playoffs. That's quite a feat.

 

Not all of my "only the Cubs" statements have been warranted. Some were said merely out of frustration. But there's truth behind a lot of them. Like this one. And a lot of others. But, like I said, I've stated my case on this before, as has everyone else, so I'm not going to get into it.

i'll trade our playoff losing streak for their playoff losing streak + 1991 world championship

Tampa's jewish pitcher has been removed from the game in the 5th inning down 2-0 and seems pissed.

[jersey cubs fan]

How do you not ring him up there?

 

What a turn of events. Should be 2 outs, instead 3 run homer.

[shnsajax]

Wow the Rangers are looking dangerous now. Shields is really pissy in the dugout after not getting the checkswing appeal giving Young the 3 run hr after that.

 

Ha Maddon just got tossed too.

[Careless]

were they really screwed on the check swing?

[jersey cubs fan]

were they really screwed on the check swing?

 

Looked like something that gets rung up 80-90% of the time.

[erik316wttn]

Yeah, he went more than halfway on that swing.

[Cubs Fan Dan]

Looked like something that gets rung up 80-90% of the time.

 

He definitely went around but those are tough calls.

[jersey cubs fan]

the jeter blowing has commenced

 

darling said something about "not many shortstops are that athletic" in reference to jeter's defense.

 

Lie

[bukie]

It's a shame the worst Yankee hitter has to bat first.

[J.R.]

Berkman? Really?

[ELCABALLO45]

Wood was nasty that inning.

[UMFan83]

Stupid Yankees. I really wanted to see a series between these two teams for once.

[TruffleShuffle]

ron gardenhire may eventually go crazy and just burn down yankee stadium

[ELCABALLO45]

Dick Stockton and Bob Brenley?

 

MUTE!

[J.R.]

Hard to believe that the Giants hadn't been to the playoffs in seven years.

[ELCABALLO45]

Brenly actually just made a good point about the Giants defense.

[ELCABALLO45]

I have to say that I like seeing the Braves in the playoffs again. It reminds me of watching playoff baseball as a kid.

[Careless]

I just watched an ad for the playoffs all about the Reds concluding that "they show no signs of slowing down or letting up"

 

Now, I know they wrote and produced the ad before yesterday, but...
