Pavano getting squeezed a bit.

[yankees228]

Dammit. Pavano was awful. As expected, it looks like the Yankees will have to deal with the Tigers.

[yankees228]

Scott Baker at 100 pitches and he's not even out of the 5th.

[Cocos Disciples]

Twins will win, but they still need a miracle. 2 GB with 3 left.

And to make it even more unlikely, the Twins have to face Greinke on Saturday.

[yankees228]

If there's a one game playoff it would apparently be played on Tuesday because of MNF.

Congrats to Colorado for making the playoffs again. Hard not to like them.

[Dipre]

Lol Chris Carpenter hit a Grand Slam and had 6 RBI's today to go along with 5 SO innings.

 

Nice.

And if they sweep the upcoming Dodgers series, they win the division.

That's impressive and all, but is loses some of its luster when you find out that Kip Wells was pitching. I will argue with anyone that he is the absolute worst pitcher in the major leagues, bar none. How is he not rotting in AA somewhere?

[The_Destroyah]

my 2010 prediction of Kip Wells:

21-5 220IP 2.26ERA 0.97WHIP .223BAA

and 2 perfect games. HE WILL SHOW YOU WHO THE WORST PITCHER IN THE MAJORS IS!!!

I'm not sure if anyone has posted this call by Mike Blowers yet. It's pretty cool:

Well, you can enjoy it again then.

 

I love how the picture of Lefty Grove on my posts makes people think I'm old. I'm the same age as Kevin Youkilis and Victor Martinez. Not really ancient.

Anything over 25 is ancient because i'm 24.

And you will be 30 before you know it my friend. Time really starts going fast from your mid-20's on. I was 22 on 9/11 and that seems like yesterday.

Stop trying to rub off your old-teimeyness (lol) on me.

Don't worry man. With the way this place operates, I suspect you will still be on this board when you are 30 and you will agree with me then.

[Spudboy]

I was pretty sure that there was a Rockie's thread here somewhere. But it's late and I'm tired.

 

Anyway, The Rockie's are in the playoffs.

 

Are they any good?

 

Or are they a bag of suck?

 

They have about the same amount of wins as the Sox (I know, in the NL). Still, statistically, relevant.

 

What's the story on these guys?

 

Any thoughts?

[msubulldogs21]

Spud, they are a dangerous young team. I think they are legit. Mainly a bunch of good young kids for the most part. I'm hoping they get the Cardinals in the NLDS. I wouldn't count on them making it to the WS this time around, but then again it wouldn't surprise me if they did either. I like them to begin with, so I'm looking forward to rooting them on in the NL playoffs.

[yankees228]

Good start for the White Sox.

[yankees228]

Nice job by Peavy to work out of trouble.

[yankees228]

Delmon Young grand slam. 5-0 Twins.

[VA Sox Fan]

Jezuz, Twins are up 7-0 in the 2nd. Tito's old paisan Lenny DiNardo was pitching for the Royals.

 

What is up with the Tigers?

[yankees228]

Tigers down 8-0, and probably the most encouraging part for Yankee fans is that it was off Edwin Jackson.

 

Twins up 7-0. If the Twins win tomorrow (tall order against Greinke), Leyland might be wishing that his lead wasn't going to come down to Alfredo Figaro.

[yankees228]

You have to respect how competitive Ozzie Guillen is as a manager. Even though his team can't go anywhere, he continues to field his full lineup, and manage these games to win. He holds Jake Peavy off to start an important game, and then he keeps in in an 8-0 game in the 8th inning.

Interesting chart here, plus it looked cool.

[Cocos Disciples]

^ That does look really cool.

 

Great game so far in Minnesota. No hits allowed by Blackburn or Greinke in the 4th.

[yankees228]

Blackburn matching Greinke so far.

[yankees228]

Greinke is so good.
