Freak By Night Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 They start this week! Some good storylines going into the playoffs, including the monumental collapse of the Mets (up 7 games with 17 to go, and they totally went into a funk and didn't make the playoffs) and an NL showdown today between the Padres and the Rockies for the wildcard spot.Being originally from Boston, I'm cheering for the Red Sox of course. I'm always pessimistic about them, they've let me down too many times (except for 2004!). The Yankees are always tough competition. Who do you guys like? Or does anyone even care?

ollie Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Are these the match-ups then? AL NY Yankees vs. Cleveland Indians Boston Red Sox vs. Anaheim Angels NL Philadelphia Phillies vs. Colorado/San Diego Chicago Cubs vs. Arizona Diamondbacks Another Yankees/Red Sox series would be nice but I also wouldn't mind Cleveland taking the AL this year. I hope Colorado grabs the NL wildcard spot today but I want the Cubs to win the league championship. After seeing Boston and the other Chicago team break their "curses", I'd like to see the Cubs do it too. Now, I understand the Phillies must have been ecstatic to clinch the division on the last day but did the celebration have to include locker room bukakke?

guigsy Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 if the phillies can get some pitching, i'd be looking at them to be a sleeper... otherwise, and i fucking hate to say it, but i think this post-season just might belong to A-Rod and the yanks. too many good stories there: hughes/joba, the "get one for the old gipper" scenario given what torre went through this year, and the fact that this is a-rod's walk year. i can see him getting a ring for the yanks, then running for the money elsewhere to quietly sit back and crush bonds record.on the other hand, boston might turn out to be the real deal this year, but i dont think cleveland's youngsters are gonna have the steam or the experience, and the NL teams just arent strong enough this year.

Hal Johnson Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I thought they advertised it on Sportsnet yesterday? Should be on somewhere, although, it might interfere with Poker, Formula One Racing, or the LumberJack challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 I don't see it on Sportsnet in the TV listings but I wouldn't be surprised if they pulled some last minute scheduling change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hal Johnson Posted October 1, 2007 Report Share Posted October 1, 2007 Nice.This is the time of year for pitching, defence, small ball, and leadership. Therefore, Im gonna take the Angels to make it out of the AL and the NL's a crapshoot, so, go Rockies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freak By Night Posted October 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 I too fell asleep - shortly after the Padres went ahead 8-6, but woke up a while later to catch the exciting ending. That was the first National League game that I had watched all season!Great to see some baseball folks in Rich Stadium!Looking forward to Wed. night - Sens vs. Leafs and Red Sox vs. Angels.

Booche Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 We watched up until the 7th inning but got too tired to make it the rest of the way. That game certainly got us stoked for the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guigsy Posted October 2, 2007 Report Share Posted October 2, 2007 after that ball went over holliday's head, the rockies started to play like they were just trying not to lose... overswinging at the plate, getting outguessed constantly by SD's relievers, bobbling balls in the field.. they really looked dejected all over the place. until they actually were losing... that bottom of the 13th was amazing.double, double, triple, walk, sac fly, off trevor fucking hoffman. how often does he blow a 2 run lead??i love that holliday redeemed himself with the game-tying triple and the winning run, even though he never got the plate.
