2009 MLB Playoffs Thread

[Mexi]

Yanks in 6 still.
Angels will win game 3 and games 5/6 are gonna be a toss up. I'll give the Angels 1 of those two


If the Dodgers win tonight, it's HUGE. If not, it's not that big a deal since they will see Blanton and Hamels.
If there was a game in these two series that was a for sure victory for someone, it's tonight's for philly lol
but so was Carp and Wainwright, so....

 

[Mexi]

lol i thought we'd lose tonight but damn

it's cool.
only 2-1
(yeah it's early but the dodgers arent showing anything right now)

we can beat blanton and hamels.
but can wolf and kershaw beat the phils?

series not over yet

 

[elcheato]

Lee is god

 

[Mexi]

<Censored> cleveland
they got scammed.

philly gave you guys nothing

 

[elcheato]

Jason Knapp is the second coming of Nolan Ryan.

 

[Mexi]

until he blows out his arm

 

[elcheato]

It's whatever though.. Lee really didn't like Cleveland, didn't like the management. Not to mention the Owner wanted to shed payroll.. Carrasco could be a good #2 or #3 starter, has good stuff just needs to get it together and stop hanging pitches. Knapp has ace ability, but like all flame throwers, health concerns.

 

[Mexi]

should have kept lee in the AL

 

[Mexi]

i changed my mind

i hope cleveand's package makes the phils look stupid, especially after the phils dont win anything with lee

 

[elcheato]

We probably got more for Martinez then we did Lee. That package all depends on how Knapp does, only 18, high hopes just hope he doesn't get a serious injury. He's already had minor ones.

 

[elcheato]

But I'll say it again, <Censored> this non salary cap. I'm about to watch Lee vs Sabathia in game 1 of the World Series because we play in a small baseball market.

 

[Mexi]

hold on, dont bury us yet

not until philly is up 3-1 can you bury us.

2-2
3-2 philly and we still got a chance

just hold on

 

[elcheato]

Well if the Dodgers make it I'll watch CC go against half the Indians line up lol. Angels are the only team left in the playoffs without a former Indian.

 

[playmaker7]

Phillies layin that LA smack DOWN

 

[elcheato]

How does Lee get so many strike outs in the NL lol

 

[Mexi]

dodgers do this every once in a while

we made Wade LeBlanc look like an ACE

win tomorrow, and this game is thrown out

 

[cruzg24]

Jered Weaver has a lot of pressure on his shoulders tonight. He has to come out throwing strikes and going deep into the game. I think it'll be a pitchers duel because Weaver is really good in day games and Pettite is clutch in the playoffs.

4-3 Angels is my prediction.

 

[Mexi]

dont worry about the angels, they will win today no doubt in my mind.

the next two are tossups.
Kazmir is a wild card and i dont care what anyone says, the CC on 3 days rest is gonna be a little more vulnerable to these angels.

Burnett is also a wild card. Lackey should be fine

Your giving the Angels more credit than they deserve. They have been playing horrible fundamental baseball, they dont get any lucky breaks, and the bad umpire calls are going against them. Add the fact that A-rod is very clutch right now and top to bottom the Yankees lineup go turn on like a switch and this series may very well be over before it began. CC is a horse when it comes to 3 days rest as proven by last year. Burnett did very well against the Angels 2 nights ago without any signs of trouble. Kazmir has pitched well against the Skankees but I am uncertain of how healthy he is right now. His last start against the Red Sox wasnt very comforting.

 

[elcheato]

Not about the playoffs but it appears that Bobby Valentine, Manny Acta, Travis Fryman, Don Mattingly and another person are finalists for the Indians managing job.
