MLB Postseason

HAHA! Bottom of the 10th and you pussy Yankees are intentionally walking Bobby Abreu... to load the bases.

Ah, DAMN! Another missed chance... what's going on? On to the 11th!

So big deal, the Angels FINALLY won a game. Enjoy it while it last. Go Yankees!!!

 

[D_Ireonsyd_Colonrinse]

Yeah! YEAH! Angels win it in the bottom of the 11th with a fabulous double by Jeff Mathis!

HaHa! What a cute guy, too. Interesting trivia: 26-year-old Jeff Mathis' nickname on the team is "The Beav", because his last name (Mathis) is similar to Jerry Mathers from "Leave it to Beaver".

We meet again tomorrow night!

Watching the Dodgers go down to the Phils last night was an epic meltdown, with Manny in the showers, while Broxton blows the save. Jimmy Rollins is nails. Yanks up on Angels 5-0 so far tonight. I think the Yanks have the Angels number this year. Yanks v. Phils would be a great battle.

Nice night in Philly for the Dodgers to go down. :tongue:

 

[D_Tully Tunnelrat]

Indeed. I like the Hamels v. Padilla match up. Will, or won't, Manny shower in the 9th?

Heading into the 8th, Phillies are leading 9 to 3. Jayson Werth has hit 2 homers in tonight's game. Manny can hit the showers, the Phils are going to the World Series... AGAIN.

As Charlie Manuel said, "There's only one more step to take".

Heh...the Doyers got served.

SO happy the Phillies won. Now I just need the Angels to step it up and I'll be good to go.

I AM A LOYAL ANGELS FAN!


We may be down, but we're sure as hell not out!! We're down 1-3 in this series, but I get home and flick on the television and the Angels have scored 4 runs in the FIRST freaking inning!

WOOO HOO!!


The Angels are a personal team. I feel their pain. They're flesh and blood and guys that are not perfect and kind of scrappy, but who are good, solid ballplayers who know how to hustle when the heat is on.

On the other hand, the Yankees are like an impersonal, professional goliath of a team that is held together by celebrity-superstars and cold hard cash. They are practically the abject opposite of "personal". They are so polished and professional, they glisten. They are like those robotic Disney animatron creations.


I love my Angels!

GO ANGELS! We're rooting for ya.

Great summary of the Yankees, I totally agree.

BTW, the link below from the LA Times, gives a god breakdown about what is wrong with the Dodgers and what they need to fix themselves. I especially like what the writer has to say about Manny Ramirez. I never cared for him, I think he's one of those players who buys into his own hype. Speaking about Manny leaving the dugout after his last at bat to go to the showers and get dressed, Joe Torre said "That's just Manny, he means no disrespect". That's BS. When he was a player, Torre would never have done that,nor would anyone else he played with; they would have stayed with the team until the game was over, win or loss.

In the end, Dodgers 'just didn't have what it takes' -- latimes.com

Tonight's game nearly gave me a heart attack. But I know the Yankees will win it in New York!!! Let's go Yankees!!

 

[D_Ireonsyd_Colonrinse]

The Angels-Yankee game is RAINED OUT??


Ahhh. Well, anyway,


Go Angels!


(tomorrow night)

Bottom of the 7th, 1 and 3 with the Yankees leading. It looks like the Yanks are going to take it. The Angels have been getting men on base but not hitting hard enough to get them home.

 

[ital8]

Woohoo!!! Yanks win!! I do have to say that the Angels gave a hard, good fight. Many close games. Good series. Next up Philly.

 

[jayfromnyc]

GO YANKEES!!! I love you Mariano!!

Time for the Phillies to kick some NY ass! :biggrin1:

My prediction, Yankees in 6 games
