2012 Playoffs Thread

[Formerly Snayke]

You lot are pathetic.

 

Tigers in five games.

 

What about Giants in 7?

 

The Giants aren't going to be much of a challenge for the Tigers. They need Vogelsong and Cain to throw four times and unless they get some sort of help from the weather, that won't happen. Tigers definitely take down the Giants in 5.

[Formerly Snayke]

One run should do it.

[Formerly Snayke]

Might be a no-hitter tonight.

[ctcf]

Yessssssssss Kozma, Yesssssssssssss

[javy knows my name]

Out.standing.

[ctcf]

I might have to watch the rest of this game without pants.

[El Duderino]

I've been down this road before. Not falling for it this time.

Trust me, the series is over. Friday's win clinched it for the Giants.

I thought SF would chase Carpenter in the fourth. Whoops.

Still yet to be seen!

 

Hahahahaha batting Carpenter

[TruffleShuffle]

carpenter has been bad in the playoffs. even when he shut out washington over 5.2 innings he was still quite hittable and was quite fortunate to not allow any runs.

He lost a rib this year and has pitched what 6 games? He should be terrible.

[TruffleShuffle]

ryan vogelsong pitching like #2 starter has to be one of the more improbable baseball stories in recent years.

What the hell is this person not singing God Bless America right wearing?

Yeah wow, how did she screw that up?

Not to mention he's had like 6 thousand other surgeries and is 37.

The Cards choking this series away would be fantastic.

[TruffleShuffle]

i love when the cardinals lose.

[Sammys Boombox]

Mitch Williams just said Posey isn't going to take his walks because he's an RBI guy and he doesn't like to walk.

 

And the batter with the 10th most walks in the NL is...

[Outshined_One]

Refusing to get my hopes up.

[Sammy Sofa]

PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT.

[Cubswin11]

If Kyle Lohse remembers he's Kyle Lohse and pitches like Kyle Lohse tomorrow and Matt Cain pitches like he can. You have to like the Giants chances.

[UMFan83]

Something has gotta give between these 2 teams tomorrow night. The Giants and Cardinals have combined to win 11 consecutive elimination games if my math is correct.

 

Giants (5):

Game 5,6 2012 NLCS

Game 3,4,5 2012 NLDS

Last elimination: Game 4 2003 NLDS

 

Cardinals (6):

Game 5 2012 NLDS

2012 Wild Card Playoff Game

Game 6,7 2011 World Series

Game 4,5 2011 NLDS

Last elimination: Game 3 2009 NLDS

 

That's amazing (and sickening for the Cardinals part)

Tigers in 5 regardless of who wins the NLCS. They're finally playing to their talent level, and at the perfect time. Their bullpen might cost them one game, but their rotation is lights out right now, and Young and Peralta are hitting in addition to Miggy and Prince. They're just a tough matchup for anyone right now.

The Giants got 12 baserunners against him in 5 2/3 innings in Game 3 but only managed one run. If they get 12 baserunners in 5 2/3 innings again, they're going to get more than one run.
