2011 Playoffs Thread

[SpongeWorthy]

Sorry for low content OP, but Rangers/Rays just started and there wasn't a thread up.

 

Future Cub vs. Matt Moore. Should be interesting.

[mookie]

He certainly looks like a Cub right now.

[El Duderino]

maybe his price will go down.

[Guest]

It would have been cooler if you said future Cub Matt Moore.

[SpongeWorthy]

Would you take Moore or Strasburg?

[mookie]

I say take both and rule the world.

Tigers/Yanks game suspended in the middle of the 2nd due to rain, tied 1-1. The game will resume tomorrow.

Strasburg.

strasburg over everyone ever. pray his shoulder doesn't die.

great call by maddon... power pitching has a proven track record in the playoffs, and it's also harder for the rangers to face a guy they haven't seen and probably have scouted very little.

 

of course, one has to question the rays' wisdom in letting moore embarrass minor league hitters for 5 months and only calling him up in september. if not for the red sox completely falling apart, they'd have missed the playoffs by a small margin, with the late callups of moore and jennings possibly the difference.

Braun threw what appeared to be a four-hopper to the plate and the announcers are raving about his arm.

[Joe_Cub]

they said Braun has transformed himself into a 'great defensive left fielder.'

Kinda like the Giants assing around last year before calling up Posey in very late May and then barely making the playoffs.

Man I love watching Prince Fielder hit. That guy is aging as well as a guy who once weighed over 300 possibly can. Thank you diet and exercise.

 

I really, really want the Brewers to go all the way. The way that roster is stacked they're a really fun and interesting team in the postseason. Hopefully Greinke can help out Gallardo, who's makeup I have 0 questions about. That guy has always been fun to watch simply because nothing seems to phase him and his game is on point.

1st base open. 2 outs. Lefty warmed up. Starter at over 110 pitches. Prince Fielder up.

 

What do you do?

[expletive] Cardinals.

[UMFan83]

I knew the Cardinals werent going to just roll over.

 

Its good to hear Bob Brenley. I bet he's glad hes actually calling meaningful baseball and not spending his days bitching about Soriano.

Roll over? They'll win it all.

[expletive] off, Halladay. I wanted another no-hitter.

[illiniguy]

Kyle Lohse channeling his Jeff Weaver circa 06.

[Joe_Cub]

thank you, Ryan Howard!

[Derwood]

Halladay now with 16 consecutive batters retired. I'd say he's settled in
