Playoff Gameday Thread #5: 10/5/08

 

MLB Postseason on SB Nation

One division series down, three more to go. (And two fewer games to watch on TBS!) The Dodgers took care of the Cubs last night, finishing them off in a 3-1 victory in which the Cubs hardly seemed to threaten. They scattered 8 hits and went 1-for-11 with RISP (the one scoring Derrick Lee in the 8th). For the second year in a row, the Cubs have been swept out of the post-season by the NL West champ. Alfonso Soriano summed it up brilliantly by saying: “We did not play good, like a team. That’s the reason we didn’t win.” The Dodgers now await the winner of the Phillies/Brewers.

 

10:07am AZT, TBS

phi_medium

Joe Blanton
RHP, 9-12, 4.69

mil_medium

Jeff Suppan
RHP, 10-10, 4.96

The Brewers managed to stave off  elimination by beating the Phillies 4-2. They scored two runs in the first and never looked back, getting strong pitching performances and decent hitting. Today they pin their post-season hopes on Jeff Suppan. Suppan has a strong post-season record but had a poor regular season; Joe Blanton, too, has been merely mediocre this year. I would be surprised if this is a low scoring affair, but both pitchers do have the potential to bear down and pitch well. Milwaukee should be able to build on the momentum they built yesterday, but Philly's offense might be too much for the Brewers.

 

1:07pm AZT, TBS

rays_medium

Matt Garza
RHP, 11-9, 3.70

sox_medium

John Danks
LHP, 12-9, 3.32

Tampa Bay heads into Chicago up 2 games to none. Though both pitchers' numbers look similar, Garza had a rough September, not lasting 5 innings in any of his last 3 starts. Danks, meanwhile, held the Twins hitless through 5 innings his last time out. The White Sox have a good shot at taking this one, but only if their bats are awakened by their hometown crowd.

 

4:07pm AZT, TBS

laa_medium

Joe Saunders
RHP, 17-7, 3.41

bos_medium

Josh Beckett
RHP, 12-10, 4.03

I don't think anybody predicted the injury-plagued Red Sox to be up 2 games against the AL-best Angels. Once again Anaheim's pitcher has the edge in numbers, but everyone knows Beckett is a big game pitcher, pitching the Marlins and Red Sox to World Series titles before. The Angels too need to find their bats (did someone double check the suitcases?) and hope they brought along a lot of Rally Monkeys to help keep their post-season hopes alive.

 

Sorry these previews aren't very good today! I am a little tired from pain pills. Many thanks to Jim for starting this up the past two days and letting me continue it. :)

See, now I'm torn...

I really really want the Brewers to win, but I also want the winning team to have a chance at beating the Dodgers in the NLCS. At which, frankly, I don’t think the Brewers have a shot… :(

Have to go

with the Phillies in the situation. They have good hitting (normally) and a pretty good rotation.

We are gonna get drunk with Adam Dunn and we're gonna head-butt some damn kangaroos.

Yeah, I'm going with the Phillies, too.

I like Craig, but I think the Phillies have a better shot next round. And I sort of feel sorry for Ned Yost.

I don't know if any of you have figured out AZWILDCATS yet

But I have. I’m a Tucsonan and IIRC azwildcats is too. A lot of the older generation of Tucsonans grew up listening to and following the dodgers. A lot of them are also UA fans, and hate ASU. In fact most of these fans hate anything coming out of phoenix, including our dbacks. It’s pretty clear that this guy is one of those fans.

Good point

They have been hitting okay, but nothing timely. And when they have been up, they haven’t been able to keep the lead.

Yeah

it’s all little singles. Maybe, the Sox and the Diamondbacks can get a little trade going. Maybe Chris Young for Alexei Ramirez?

What is "fast-mo"?

Jeter, stop making things up. You never see sports replays in “fast-mo”. You’re thinking of Benny Hill chase scenes.

ESPN

speeds up the “boring parts” of their football replays. They call it “the fastest three minutes in sports” or somesuch nonsense. It’s so distracting I have trouble paying attention to the parts they show at regular speed.

Did they have him playing the shift? I didn’t notice, but it didn’t seem like the shortstop should have had to dive (and miss) for that ball.

Morning folks

All going as planned since I last checked in. Cubs lost and looks like the Phillies will have a couple of days off before sweeping the Dodgers. I peeked into BCB this morning: sheesh, we had the best record in the NL last year, and I don’t recall us being anywhere near as bad when we got swept. I did notice this comment, which I have fixed for the poster:

I still think that the way the Cubs will go…
…is to move Dome over to center field and go find an corner outfield bat somewhere.

Worst case scenario: Raul Ibanez Eric Byrnes
Best case scenario: Adam Dunn, I guess.

They’d love him there. And all the pizza you can eat.

I've come to the conclusion

(uh-oh, duck everyone) that the regular season means jack sh*t. Having the best record means absolutely nothing once October rolls around.
A team that limps into the playoffs from a division everyone mocks, so far has played the best ball, from what I’ve seen.
I love watching the sport all summer long, but maybe what my tepid baseball fan buddy says is true,; the season is just too long to mean anything.

Presents for father duly purchased, though the most fun we had was probably in the Hallmark store. Did you realize October if Ministry Appreciation Month? I thought this would involve sending cards to Al Jourgensen – with Nine Inch Nails Appreciation Month to follow in November – but not quite the case. We were particularly intrigued by the cards in exotic languages: I can see the point of Spanish-language ones in Arizona, but there were also ones in Finnish. I was going to get one in Braille, just to freak my dad out, but opted against it.

Some say it used to be 1am, then they say no inning can start after 12:50am… but it doesn’t say when/if it was actually eliminated.

However, I know I’ve often watched games past that hour for the AL.

But, it may not become an issue now…

Fine

At least one members of the Angels is succeeding today.

5 runs, and Mike Napoli has either knocked in or been 4 of them. In the case of two runs, he’s done both.

It runs deep

I’m going to get to the bottom of this, and I don’t care who I have take down!

Angles win

Finally, a win for them against Boston.

About time

Be nice if they can at least make a series out of this.

Hooray Angels!

And thank you AL for keeping this round of the playoffs alive.

We don't

have to feel bad for TBS anymore. Only one sweep and an extra innings game so far in the first round is pretty good.

I didn't feel bad in the first place

Maybe my ability for human emotions wouldn’t be destroyed if I wasn’t inundated every break with ads for Frank Caliendo and Viagra- a fairly unappealing combination, I’ll have you note.

Oh, gah.

Thanks (not!) for that mental picture! I hadn’t connected the two since I try really hard to ignore the Viagra ads, but now — great, just great.

BTW, I love how they have “Wedding Stuff” in the attic in a raggedy old box. Seriously? My “Wedding Stuff” is in a nice box. It’s special. Oh, and also? You don’t still have your tux from your wedding, dude. You rented that horrible thing.

I guess I don’t really ignore those ads as much as I thought.

It's like living with a six-year old.

Everytime I see that ad

I always think, “I hope my dad had the sense not to get married in a powder blue tux like that,” and, “Shouldn’t that tuxedo be a lot more wrinkled, if it was folded up in a box like that?”
