2011 Playoffs Thread

I can honestly say that last night's game was the most fun I've ever had following twitter comments.

That Verducci piece is AWESOME.

The more I hear TLR talk about last night, the dumber and more desperate to shift blame he looks. It's kind of pathetic.

I suddenly really like Tom Verducci.

I suddenly really like Tom Verducci.

 

Between that and his promotion of my playoff expansion format I've really come to like the guy.

Spazz A Muzz OKAY THIS HOW IT SHLD GO, craig get rid of him, he is so stupid thinkin he can steal a base. Pujols let him go as a free agent, and berkman if he was smart along with holliday--LEAVE...get rid of jay.. if they cant pull it off for a game 6 and 7

 

You can't beat immediate erik-like reaction on facebook.

 

Yeah, because I've done that so often lately. :roll:

 

And to be honest if I were a Cardinals fan I'd be kind of pissed off too.

I put $50 on Mike Napoli to win MVP before the series at 18:1 I'm thinking if Texas wins that is getting pretty close to a sure winner.

Hell yeah, it won't be anyone else if Texas wins. That would be a great payoff.

Napoli has the highest OPS in the World Series for the Rangers and has 2 game winning hits in the series (I think...i know there was another key moment in the series he came through). He's gotta be a lock.

 

The only people at this point that I think can change that with a big game(s) are Beltre or Cruz. None of the pitchers particularly seem likely to get enough momentum to be awarded the MVP.

If the Rangers lose he would still have a case to be MVP.

Funny thing is I typically wouldn't put that much on a future/luck bet like that, but I was watching the Bears/Vikings game that night and drinking 90 minute IPA. Napoli was awesome for my fantasy team in the 2nd half and I guess I was just thinking what the hell let's roll with the hot guy at an awesome price. Normally I would probably only put about $20....but I'll take the nice payout if it wins. Far from over though, if Cardinals come back and win and Pujols has 1-2 more HR, then.....loser.

Game postponed tonight.

ahahahaha

Omg. This was great, thanks for posting it.

[kujay]

Sexy start!

 

And look at all the Rangers fans in the expensive seats. Wow.

[TruffleShuffle]

ugh... should've gotten that run home from third with nobody out.

[illiniguy]

Skip Shumacker is hitting above .500 in the playoffs. Baseball is so dumb.

[KingKongvs.Godzilla]

I suddenly really like Tom Verducci.

 

He's been a decent read for years.

[sneakypower]

ugh, swing away there and let Freese eat it

[Banedon]

So...my Fox channel is showing dead air. Anyone else?

[TruffleShuffle]

oh great, garcia is out already? given the way larussa manages the bullpen, this one's got four hour game written all over it.

[chuckywang]

lol holiday

[SpongeWorthy]
