ollie Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) Hi Hal!I barely qualify as a baseball fan, not having watched even 9 innings of the regular season I bet. But I am hooked come playoffs. Like the first round in hockey, it's great to have games on every day, sometimes all day. It's a crash refresher course for "fans" like me.I'm pulling for any team except the Cardinals and the Yankees. So that should pretty much guarantee that those teams will be in the final this year.

Hal Johnson Posted October 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 haha, hey Ollie! All good, I can totally dig it. In fact, I spent most of my evenings this summer watching the entire 5 seasons of The Wire, so that's why I'm all about the O's these days. How's that for fandom?!I'd enjoy a subway series between Baltimore and Washington, but like you, I think that pretty much guarantees it's not gonna happen.

c-towns Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Great playoffs so far, last nights games in particular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Agreed. These playoffs have been wonderful so far. Is it me or is there a crazy number of home run balls being snagged by leaping outfielders compared to "normal"?? Looking forward to seeing the Yanks spanked!

Hal Johnson Posted October 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 As I listined online at work it seemed Votto was signifiantly injured, but holy shit, Posey stole that show!Watching extra innings O's - Yanks. Let's go Bmore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c-towns Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 Amazing playoffs, by far the best I have ever watched and it's only the first round. That cards comeback was pretty awesome even though I wanted the nats to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I might be able to beat your jinx because I really want St. louis to win now. They've easily been the most fun team to watch over the past two playoffs. Adding what they did last night to what they did last year - holy fuckin shit! This team is insane! Whose gonna stop them? Buster freaking Posey? Puh-lease. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted October 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 I think Valverde is getting paid to lose by the guy who has a bet against the guy who's paying A-Rod to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanada Kev Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Love the slow-mo in the post season. This hit was wild. Check out the extra spin kick-in on the third contact. Who is the third commentator on the play by play who pipes in from the peanut gallery every once and a while? I found him f'in annoying last night.

Hal Johnson Posted October 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Agreed, the slow-mo is amazing. Baseball is such an awesome sport for it, but I imagine it would be cool in hockey too for slapshots. More Slow-mo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanada Kev Posted October 23, 2012 Report Share Posted October 23, 2012 Not enough time between plays to get some good slo-mo. It is f'in cool though. You're right, baseball is perfect for it. The ability to SEE the insane action on the ball that pitchers provide and the effects on the movement of the ball. If you like slo-mo check these guys out ... awesome http://www.youtube.com/user/theslowmoguys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes guy! self high five guy! just kidding ... well played. Where's your money for the final? I'm good with either team. Loved seeing Detroit spank the Yanks, but have really enjoyed watching the Giants fight back off the ropes 6 friggin' times! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
