Playoff Gameday Thread, #2

With the Championship Series starting today, seems a good point to open up a new thread. Especially as the first one surged past 500 comments last night, thanks to a surprising burst of activity as the Arizona Fall League opener was followed. Our Scorpions beat the Saguards 8-4 - the best-known name in the Scorpions box-score last night was, Brandon Allen,. who went 1-for-5. Anyway, looks like they are having live scoring from the AFL this season, so we may see more in-game commentary. Especially if the doomsday scenario of a Yankees-Dodgers series comes to pass. Here's to that not taking place: go Angels and Phillies!

Allen, Ciriaco and Gillespie all starting for the Scorpions today
In the first inning, Ciriaco had a single and scored in the first, Gillespie had a single and a stolen base, and Allen drew a walk. Scorpions up 1-0 in the second.

Scorpions pitching looking pretty good today
Only allowed one hit through four, which they erased with a double play on the next batter.
(The one hit so far is by the awesomely named Lance Zawadski.)

MLB is running Gameday for the AFL this season.
Tied 1-1 in the ninth- much different game than Peoria Stadium saw yesterday, which ended up 17-2, I think.

And they get the out
So we’re tied at the end of nine.
Do they do extra innings in the Fall League? I assume they do, but I could be wrong.

Hmm
That run was allowed by Josh Judy. I guess he’s not Josh Judy and executioner.
In to pitch now for Peoria, DBacks draftee Evan Scribner. I’m sure we traded him for someone, but it’s not important. No, really, it’s not important. Let’s not talk about it. I’m sure we’re all happier that way.
Really.

And Scribner throws two quick strikes, then uncorks two wild pitches to let the runners advance and then have Brandon Allen score. The batter Ks, but it’s 3-1 Scorpions going into the bottom of the tenth.

And a 1-2-3 bottom of the tenth
As the Scorpions go to 2-0. Gillespie went 3 for 3 with two walks, a stolen base, and the go-ahead RBI in the tenth, while Ciriacio went 1 for 5 with a stolen base and a run scored. Allen was 0 for 2 but took three walks and had a run, so not a bad day for him, either.

- C. Utley flied out to deep center, S. Victorino caught stealing, pitcher to first to shortstop

A total heart-stopper in Anaheim so far
Yankees took a 3-0 lead, Angels came back to take a 4-3 lead, but New York hit their fourth homer in the eighth to tie things up again. Anaheim just had a lead off double in the bottom half erased, as the batter went too far towards third and was erased as the relay throw was cut off before he could go back to second.
Sheesh, it’s not enough you have to NYY, teams have to stop giving games away like this. It’s like the teams they’ve played have bet on the Yankees or something.

I gave up in the tenth
When they had a man on third and no outs, but couldn’t score. At that point, it seemed fated to be a Yankees win. Must give up on the Angels more often.

That might have been the Cardinals’ best chance: two on with one out, and Howard and Werth up. But Howard fans on the high heat, and Broxton then gets Werth on a ball almost the warning track. Still got the ninth, but it looks like the series will be even after four.

Top of the eighth, Dodgers load the bases, bring in one run and still have the bases loaded, no outs. Next three batters: foul out, strike out, ground out.

F-ing Yankees
Looks like Lackey was very upset to be taken out with a 4-0 lead – and rightfully so, in hindsight. First pitch from the bullpen, three-run double. After an intentional walk, Matsui singles and the next Yankee adds a two-run double. New York has scored six runs without a batter being retired.

Their only hit in the eighth is a two-out single – but that came after the Yankees had walked the bases loaded.

Well, you’ve learned a quite bit today from Mrs Soco’s mini-sign language lesson. (Still think it’s funny, but at the same time I feel bad.)
Mmm…. just a little bit about deaf culture and how things works. (like videophone, rear-view caption and so so).

I honestly
didn’t really learn anything whatsoever from mrssoco’s sign language lesson. At least, if I did, I don’t remember any of it.

Okay
what’s the deal with Jeter being “Mr November?” The Fox announcers were just circle jerking about Jeter, calling him “Mr November” in 2001.
Does no one remember that the Yankees lost that Series? Randy Johnson should be Mr November.

Yankees inching closer
Cole Hamels not what the Phillies wanted. Andy Pettitte – a career .134 hitter – drives in the tying run and the Yanks are 6-4 up after six.

Chad Durbin pitching for the Phillies
I thought for a moment it was JD Durbin, and was about to go off on a rant.
Still sucked though, and the Yankees are three up. Wonder if we’ll see Rivera for two innings again tonight?

Yeah, katers and I were watching the Yankees win,
but I decided I’d rather go do something more interesting, like buy motor oil.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one
to notice that Howard neglected to touch home. I really don’t think it’s that big of a deal though… the ball got away, he could’ve tagged it easily afterwards. Though, I don’t know every rule- if he misses home on a slide, ends up like five feet away, can he go back and tag?

Lately
I’ve been on a baseball sim binge. In one game, I pitted ‘01 Randy vs ’09 Cliff Lee, and the ’backs won 10-9, courtesy of an eighth-inning Sanders Slam (not off of Lidge!). Then again, that’s coming from the same sim that says that the 2003 Tigers would beat the 1998 Yankees…
