Someone on Dodgerblues is saying this is the Dodgers lineup. Not sure if it was reported yet: Furcal, SS Martin, C Manny, LF Ethier, RF Loney, 1B Kemp, CF DeWitt, 2B Blake, 3B Lowe, P
Nah, not with a 1 run lead and a Danks on 3 days rest. Yeah but there is almost no power with that part of the order due up (Kubel wouldnt have batted). So if Danks got someone on, he could be replaced.
OhmyGod it's going to be Freezing in that ballpark. That feels like "54" is BS, especially inside that windtunnel of a ballpark with a 15mph wind. Looks like I'm busting back out the winter cubs coat for the first time since april. And the long sleeve underarmour. It'll be about 40 degrees warmer at game time in Dodger Stadium. There's never a bad time to brag about LA weather is there? Are you for real? Triple digit heat should be banned. It was horrible, especially in a suit. "54" is awesome (esp. when you're actually "working" at Wrigley during a playoff game). True, I didn't actually do the math that 54+40 = 94. I just assumed you were bragging about your weather. 54 is going to be awesome playoff weather. Definitely didn't feel like the playoffs when it was 85 degrees last year.

More accurately, why is this game even being played if the Twins won the season series. The NFL and NBA and NHL don't do it this way. Let's just throw the stupid All-Star game thing in the mix even though a team could win 150 game they wouldn't have home field advantage. Where to I get the application for Bud's job when he retires I think Spring Training games should have more meaning. How about they base HFA for a 1 game playoff on who has the better spring training record?
That's a good point. The Twins were getting good licks at his FB last week. I'm sure they will be going to Jenks though, its "baseball wisdom". I'm a moron
More accurately, why is this game even being played if the Twins won the season series. The NFL and NBA and NHL don't do it this way. I don't mind that they play a game. I would think it would be stupid for a team to play 162 games, tie for one of 4 playoff spots and then have to go home because you might have lost a couple of games against a team in May when your team isn't nearly the same team as it was back then.
Just thinking of recent games Rockies won at home last year Reds lost at home in 99 Cubs won at home in 98 Mariners won at home in 95 Red Sox lost at home in 78 What other ones am I missing?
I have a feeling DeRosa won't play Soriano, LF Theriot, SS Lee, 1B Ramirez, 3B Edmonds, CF Soto, C Fontenot, 2B Fukudome, RF Dempster, P is my guess...
The Sox fans are trying to embrace every stupid tradition that teams have done over the past 5 years. Expect to see a rally penguin come on the scoreboard if the Sox fall behind.
I don't mind that send actually. Griffey had a horrible throw to third after the first out, and with the way Danks is throwing you need to take a chance like that. AJ almost dropped that
Guz just came off Tommy John, and Gaudin probably is not physically 100% from his injury and they probably determined he won't be able to pitch effectively this postseason.
