The Yankees had won 4 of 5 to secure home field, and then gave up the last two games, while the Tigers completely fell apart at the end. I don't buy that not turning it on, they had won game 1, and were leading halfway through game 2.

Well, I don't know your team as well as you do, but who would you take if not for your third catcher? Now the Red Sox taking the long series would make sense. Who the hell would pitch your game 4 if you had the short series?

First of all, I said double elimination games were more exciting, except that Kilo can't read. I think that these games listed by yankees228 will be more exciting than the list that Kilo can make, and only because of the fact that they were double elimination games. By the way yankees228, you forgot to add Yanks/Sox 1978 playoff and Bobby Thompson's game. Add those two, and the argument is over.

I sure as hell hope so. I really don't know. I like their chances in a seven game series, but these five game series scare me to death. To tell you the truth, I have absolutely no idea who will come out of both leagues. The odds are against them, as they are for any one team, but they have as good a chance as any team. Last year, I thought they were the team to beat in the AL. Remember, the Tigers stumbled to the finish line, we went in hot, and I thought we would steamroll to the World Series, and the National League was a joke in my mind. This year, every team has at least one, if not two, potential fatal flaws. We're going in as a wild card team, which is new for us, first time since 1997. I really have no idea. I can see the Red Sox sweeping the Angels..but I can see the Angels running on Beckett and Varitek in game 1, Lackey pulling a Kenny Rogers circa 2006, stealing game one, and sweeping you guys. I can pretty much say that about any and all matchups.

Speaking of playoff tickets, if we face each other in the ALCS, I'd be willing to trade a ticket or two. I have one extra throughout the playoffs this year.

October 3rd vs. Anaheim: ALDS Game 1
Gom replied to schillingouttheks's topic in Mike Grace Memorial Game Thread Forum
I guess you can say that. Actually, a legit title shot is one in which you make the playoffs, which makes your last legitimate chance in 2005. Red Sox game on Wednesday Yankees game on Thursday Mets game in April -

More than anyone here, I rip my team when they do wrong.

October 3rd vs. Anaheim: ALDS Game 1

Your question: So....I answered your question. So let's see...both games had a comeback against the most dominating pitcher from the other side. One game was elimination for both teams, the others were not. Not only that, but game 7 was sudden death as it went to extra innings. Keep posting, I enjoy making you look like an idiot.
-
You're welcome. Would you like the others for the teams in the NL?
-
Oh my God...reality has kicked in for Jacko. What's next, objectivity for ORS and intelligence for Kilo? The end is near....
-
Jacko, Wang is terrible on the road, and Pettitte is inconsistent. They win the pitching matchups huge in the first two games. I am more worried about the Guardians than anyone else.
-
I'd like to see the first person here who is a Red Sox fan who doesn't pick the Sox. Boring. I admit, I'm worried sick about the Guardians. Neither the Angels, or especially the Red Sox, worry me in a short series. If the Yankees make it past Cleveland, we are going to the World Series.

Go back and read my post, you moron. Do I have to quote it, or can you just scroll up four posts. You know, scroll, that little vertical bar on the right.... Do they even teach people how to read where you are from? Any elimination game is what I said. Of course, a double elimination game, because BOTH teams are on the brink, means more. So...game 7 is more stressful, then game 6, then game 5, etc. Imagine if your game 4 in 2004 was a game 7. Or the Brosius game was game 7. Or hell, the Yankee six run comeback from April this year was game 5 against the Guardians in this series. The magnitude of the game goes a long way in determining it's greatness. By the way, thanks for making my list. Now go and do what I asked. Find me non-elimination games. I'll wait...... P.S. You left out one of the greatest games ever, 1986 Game 6. Oh..wasn't great? Not good enough for your list? Wonder why? And you have the audacity to call me a troll? You? Try being objective once in a while.

For the most part, yes. In the annals of baseball history, it's the way it's been. You hear about Bobby Thompson's homerun. Why? Elimination game. The Yankees coming back against the Guardians with 6 runs in April won't go down as a truly great game. Why? IT WAS f***ING APRIL! Yankees Classics aside, who believe a 10-1 win against the Royals deserves to be show 17 times in an off-season, no games in April are truly great games. Mazeroski's homerun....great game. Bobby Thompson....great game. Bucky Dent, Aaron Boone, Bill Buckner, Carlton Fisk, Joe Carter, Scott Brosios....all have in common...elimination game. So the answer is yes. A truly great game is an elimination game. There are some very notable exceptions, but in general, the games that leave the biggest marks are the win or go home games. Tell you what...you list 10 great games that weren't elimination games, and I will list ten games that were. Let's see which games will be rated higher as truly great games.
-
I don't think it was a homerun. The replays showed that in my mind. I think that the homerun call would have went in at worst as inconclusive like you stated. However, he CLEARLY didn't touch the plate. That being said, congrats as you seem to be a Rockies fan. Great game. Still, baseball needs Instant Replay.
-
Double Elimination game you moron. How is it possible you have survived this far and natural selection didn't work yet? Game 4 for your team was great. However, if that was game 7, it would have been greater due to the magnitude for both teams. Sorry if I insult your sensitivities for being a Sox fan. I still think one of the most amazing games I ever say was WS 2001 game seven, and we were on the losing end. I can honestly say that that game hurt more than any other game ever. 2004 wasn't close in my personal book. [Watch this idiot now tell me how my personal feelings for my team were wrong]. Who here posts: "Imagine how great this would be...tie game, bottom of the ninth, fourth game of the ALCS, with the lead 2-1 in our favor." It's always game 7. Then in magnitude, game 6. You really are possibly the dumbest person to ever post here.

Seriously, baseball needs instant replay. Think of the fairness of this. Your team, the Padres, plays the whole season, and loses because of a bad call. It should be 2 out, runner on second. Now if the next guy gets a hit and they lose, fine. Whatever. However, the umpires should not decide the game, which they did in this case. The Atkins ball was not a homerun, but I will give you a judgement call on that one. Holliday CLEARLY did not touch the plate, and should have been out. Imagine this was game 7, Yankees and Red Sox, same scenario, except that was the tying run, and you guys were down one. The game ends on that. How would you guys feel? If any of you guys don't agree that baseball needs instant replay, then you lose all credibility if your team gets robbed this post-season.

What an idiot. For sheer drama, nothing matched those games. Even 2001 World Series game 7 was amazing. Grow up Kilo. Just because a game doesn't involve your beloved Sox winning, doesn't mean it isn't great. What a f***ing moron.
-
Baseball needs instant replay. NOW. That's my theme for this whole off-season. Don't give me this purist ********. All those that claim to be purists now love the wild card. If you guys are willing to give back 2004, since you wouldn't have been in the playoffs if it wasn't for the wild card, then fine, I'll give you your purist argument. Other than that, it's ********. Jeffrey Maier never happens if there was instant replay, and you know what? Fine, even if it went against my team. This call ranks only below Don Denkinger in 1985. An utter disgrace.

No it wasn't. It hit the metal pole that is part of the yellow border. Even the fan herself unwittingly confirmed it. I watched it on my DVR 20 times, there was no way that was a homerun. Baseball needs instant replay. I didn't have a rooting interest in the game at all, but to lose the game on a TERRIBLE call, have your season end, is simply UNACCEPTABLE. I don't see why managers can't have the one challenge a game rule, similar to the NFL. Simply on fair/foul, and out/safe calls. For me, this ruined an absolutely amazing game. Imagine for a second this was your team, the Padres. How would you feel?
