Of course infield fly is called

My point, besides that they make me feel waves of rage and envy, was that they were able to maintain that awesome farm system without tanking seasons. Because that's what good organizations do. Exactly. Unfortunately for us, our previous management put the new management in a position where starting all over was the best course of action. If/When this plan works, I would expect to see a similar management style.

Why couldnt the Pirates have been our long time historical archrivals?
-
The Braves had the least number of errors in the NL this year.....they now have 4 errors in this game including 3 this inning to put 2 guys on base and later score them. This sucks...I wanted to see the Nationals do well this postseason.

Dan Uggla pretending he's in the 2008 All Star game again.

The Cubs have won one postseason series in any of our lifetimes, including Fred. Two if you want to count the WC tiebreaker game in 1998. Today's game could be the Cardinals' 10th in the last decade. Oh, and they haven't lost 90+ since 1990, though their farm system mysteriously hasn't shriveled up and died as a result. Don't forget that they are now gifted an extra draft pick because they are somehow at a competitive disadvantage because of their market size or something.

I love this man. Awesome.

From watching on TV, the A's ballpark looks a million times better with the upper deck tarped off. If it was open, the crowd disperses more and the empty seats in the upper deck are very noticeable.
-
Interesting about the luck. Also with regards to the defense. In past years, the Bears have performed much better against the run than against the pass. I would expect the run defense to improve.

My predictions Orioles 7 Rangers 5 Cardinals 9 Braves 2 Yankees over Orioles in 4 (LWWW) Tigers over A's in 5 (LLWWW) Cardinals over Nationals in 4 (WWLW) Giants over Reds in 5 (WWLLW) Yankees over Tigers in 6 (WLWLWW) Cardinals over Giants in 5 (WLWWW) Cardinals over Yankees in 7 (WWLLLWW) Maybe I am just being a masochist, who knows, but I've seen this story before. Twice in fact in the last 7 years.

Have any of the other Wild Card teams announced their starters?

Goodness gracious. Yet another "Derrick Rose is dumb" crack. Who cares? He's not dumb on the court. So the guy couldn't break xxx on his SAT. Big deal. If he's so smart on the court, why did he tear his ACL? In this thread, SSR kills pretty much everyone. I agree sometimes. Other times it seems like he's trying too hard.

I saw this today and I just had to laugh: http://s9.postimage.org/ey0v3mun1/photo.jpg

Interesting quote from Soriano after the game: -
Re: Games in which the Cubs are not playing

I'm rooting for them in the AL except the Orioles. It's all about the fact that the A's have made it multiple times this millenium, and the last time the Orioles made it the name Jeffery Mayer was prominently involved. But what the A's have done is insanely impressive. The Rangers should verse themselves on the saga of the 2006 Tigers, who blew a once insurmountable division lead on the last day of the season and took the WC spot all the way to the World Series where they eventually cancelled the World Series because whoever that NL team was that year all got busted for steroids. Of course that Tigers team didn't have to win a single game playoff to get into the ALDS, but hey at least Dempster won't be starting for them. Anyways, the A's will be most likely playing the Tigers in a rematch of the 2006 ALCS, the last playoff series Oakland has participated in. -

Seeing a packed house with rabid fans at an A's game makes it look like the end of a baseball movie when the fans that weren't there at the beginning and didnt care about the team are showing up in droves and acting nuts. -

I was at first thinking it was going to be a bad thing for the Rangers to lose here and play the Orioles in a 1 game playoff, but the Rangers are playing so poorly right now, and the A's so well, it might be Baltimore's best chance to make it to the ALDS. -

Stop the big game [expletive]. Demp made it 3 whole innings before imploding and putting his team's fate in the hands of a one game playoff. -
Wait, are you allowed to enjoy the Cubs?
-
The Cubs are kings of these warm fuzzy "I know we lost 90+ games, but we won on a walk off on the last game of the season to remind me why I love the Cubs" moments.
-
It's really weird to hear Pat call the game on TV. He seems to be in radio mode still, saying 'and here's the 1-0 pitch' and announcing the score of the game several times even though the WGN graphic is up there.

low blow from anyone but sneakypower i'd be offended
-
Most of the time. This year no Cubs means chance to make sure Cubs not such as much next time we see them play. 10:47 on a wednesday morning is way too early for drinking, isn't it? Holy [expletive], did I really write that post?

http://i.imgur.com/ufNw5l.jpg I think he's just the most known referee so when SI inexplicably puts an NFL referee on their cover, Hochuli is their cover boy. Oh and he has guns of steel.

Dempster is starting for the Rangers tonight trying to keep the Rangers out of a 1 game playoff.
