Re: 2011 Major League Baseball
Not really. It's just delaying the agony for another day. But if they would ALWAYS play the way they did last night, I'd be happy, win or lose. Right now, I won't cheer until they win that 11th playoff game.nutmeg wrote:Arghhhh! I'd like to forget last night's game ever happened.

HOWEVER, unless the Brewers make it to the World Series, I'll probably be rooting for the American League team.

And I thought you were a true conservative where people are measured for their ability compete in the open marketplace. And now YOU say you'll root for a league that embraces the DH?
The DH is nothing more than WELFARE for MLB players with diminished skills propped up by the union. Think Vlad last year in the WS got to stop wishin' got to start fishin'....

I keep hoping that my Orioles can someday pattern the success of Tampa Bay and be as competitive in the tough AL East.....

Re: 2011 Major League Baseball
Phillies-Cards, Brewers-Dbacks, Tigers-Yankees.......all series go to a Game 5.
As a baseball fan a single elimination game is exciting, but if I were a fan of any of these teams I'd worry about that "one play" during the final game that determines the winner & loser!

Re: 2011 Major League Baseball
I'd worry if were a Yankees fan. Sure Ivan Nova pitched great in the regular season but a rookie pitching in a game that could end your season? It would not fill me with confidence but since this is an all or nothing game, Girardi will probably empty the bullpen at the first sign of trouble.

Re: 2011 Major League Baseball
Ed and Larry you are right. I'M NERVOUS about that one play that turns the game. Glad the Phils have Halladay with Lee on the bench for Friday rather than a rookie.

As much as I've tried, I just cannot cheer for the Phillies or Cardinals. Apologies to my friends whom I love in those cities.
And yes, Larry. I'm worried about Nova too. (Shades of a rookie named MEL STOTTLEMYRE in game 7 of the 1964 World Series).
But Nova is all they have available. Sabathia is fat. out of shape, and very tired. Nova is pretty good when his team has the lead, but iths not easy getting a lead on the Tigers. so we shall see.

Re: 2011 Major League Baseball
I remember during spring training the NY papers made a big deal out of the fact Sabathia lost 25 pounds during the off season. I think he found those 25 pounds, and maybe a few more, in the last few months.
