Around SBN: Bracketology 2012: Duke Finally Steps Up To The No. 1 Line

Playoff Gameday Thread #2: 10/2/08

We had a pretty good turnout for yesterday's action, so we've decided to keep it going for a while longer. Interest will likely wane eventually, but after spending 6 months with you crazy people, I can't imagine going elsewhere to follow a team, even if it's not ours. But if you're interested, SBNation has a nice post-season section set up with links to all the other blogs.

MLB Postseason on SB Nation

Yesterday in a nutshell: the Phillies took advantage of Brewer miscues to win 3-1, the Dodgers slammed (literally) the Cubs 7-3, and the Red Sox came away with a 4-1 win over the Angels, running their streak to 10 straight wins over Anaheim in the post-season. (Interestingly, the last pair of teams to exhibit that kind of dominance/ineptitude was Oakland going 10-0 over Boston from '88-'03.)

Javier Vazquez
RHP, 12-16, 4.67

rays_medium

James Shields
RHP, 12-8, 3.56

Today brings our first look at the White Sox and Rays, and it will be a test for both teams. The Sox had to essentially play two extra games just to get to the post-season, and the nerves of the young Rays will be put center stage in their first ever playoff game. We know from experience that Javy Vazquez is like a coin - it can land on its head or its tail, but it is durable enough to always land somewhere. He has the experience that can overcome his sometimes gaudy-looking numbers, but he can just as easily implode on himself. A brief glance at Shields' numbers shows he can give up a lot of hits and walks but not necessarily a lot of runs. This looks like a toss up... either one of these teams can come away with this one.

 

6:07pm ET, TBS

CC Sabathia
LHP, 17-10, 2.70

Phi_medium

Brett Myers
RHP, 10-13, 4.55

Despite the score, Milwaukee played pretty well yesterday. Both offenses were weak, and Philadelphia's 3 runs came all in one inning and were all unearned for starter Yovani Gallardo. Milwaukee has to score for its ace CC Sabathia, who is running out there on 3 days' rest for the 4th straight time. Cole Hamels was masterful over the Brewers, but don't expect Brett Myers to be able to do the same thing. It should be Sabathia's turn to confound the offense, but you have to think that all these starts on short rest might backfire eventually. Edge to Milwaukee for having Sabathia on the mound.

RHP, 16-10, 3.14

Carlos Zambrano
RHP, 14-6, 3.91

Cubs fans and Cubs alike were stunned by yesterday's 7-3 defeat. Lou Pinella left starter Ryan Dempster in there a bit too long, just long enough for James Loney hit a monster grand slam to pull the Dodgers from behind 0-2 to ahead 4-2. The Cubs never really threatened after that, and the Dodgers tacked on throughout the rest of the night. Glad to see Pinella isn't "saving" Zambrano for Game 9 or anything. Both of these starters are workhorses with similar numbers, but I give the edge to Z and the Cubs tonight. Do not expect them to go out as quietly this year as they did last.

And they’re talking about the Cubs and the Dodgers. Typical.

The mohawks are pretty funny

Apparently, they had a big rally for the team, and part of that was bringing in barbers to give free mohawks.

Tropicana Field is interesting

The way the concourse is decorated is kind of cheesy, but once you get to your seats, I really liked the field itself. Maybe it was just a matter of perspective from where our seats were, but it didn’t quite seem as vast as Chase.

Nope

He was originally with the Yankees, and was part of the Randy Johnson trade: “Before the 2005 season, Navarro was traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-team deal that sent Randy Johnson from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the Yankees, Javier Vázquez from the Yankees to the Diamondbacks, Shawn Green from the Dodgers to the Diamondbacks, and several other minor leaguers to the Dodgers.”

Technically, we did

Per baseball-reference.com, this was two separate trades:

January 11, 2005: Traded by the New York Yankees with Brad Halsey, Javier Vazquez, and cash to the Arizona Diamondbacks for Randy Johnson.

January 11, 2005: Traded by the Arizona Diamondbacks with Danny Muegge (minors), William Juarez (minors), and Beltran Perez to the Los Angeles Dodgers for Shawn Green.

Cubs fan arrested for throwing ball at Dodgers player. A Lincoln Park man was arrested for attempting to strike Los Angeles Dodgers’ left fielder Manny Ramirez with a baseball during the Cubs Wednesday night playoff loss at Wrigley Field. Paul Solans, 31, of the 2200 block of North Lincoln Avenue, was charged with reckless conduct and is scheduled to appear in misdemeanor court (Br.29) at the 2400 block of West Belmont Avenue on Oct. 23, police said. Solans caught Dodgers home run and, instead of immediately throwing it back onto the field, attempted to throw it at Ramirez when the Dodgers returned to the field. Security guards "grabbed him" and turned him over to Chicago Police, police said.

Biden was successful at NOT smartassing last night.

Overall, I’ve been very happy with the first two debates. We haven’t had this kind of substantive political discussion for awhile — both have been respectful, although both McCain and Biden came across as a little condescending. Biden less so than McCain.

OTOH, there haven’t been any fun fireworks or KO blows, so the people who watch the debates like NASCAR, hoping for a crash, are totally unsatisfied so far.

But, there’s two more presidential debates, so…

Fortunately,

or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it, neither of them made any major errors. Biggest thing was Palin mistaking Gen. McKiernan for Gen. McClellan, but even that wasn’t a big deal and went over most people’s heads, sorta like McCain and then Obama mistaking the Revolutionary Guard for the Republican Guard. Biden apparently told Palin to come to a restaurant in Wilmington that’s been renamed for over 10 years.
