See Jody? You shoulda had the same faith in the Yanks that I did!
They almost made me doubt myself, but in the end they pulled through just as I thought they would!
Shame they wasted another pretty damn good pitching outing.

I really did feel for Dickey, good guy on a sh*t team. I did hear that no one, possibly even Dickey, is safe. Could be talk, but there were many rumors of just tearing down the whole thing.

Oi this is painful! Naturally our best on base position resulted with A Rod being in the big chair, obviously he floppedCry
Pretty much Jeter, Ichiro and Russel Martin are the offense. That =/= successful post seasonLOL

Speaking of the Mets being self-destructive, I'm ready to start taking bets for the chances that Dickey gets traded away for prospects. $5 anyone? $10? Can I get $20???

Sorry, that was a terrible joke. But I feel very bleh after today's game so bad humor helps a bit right now.

Of course the lil truth most choose to ignore is that every team would capitalize if they could.
Except the Mets who have taken a self destructive philosophy recently but what else can you expect from them?


As for my beloved Yanks I am still fed up with their long ball addiction.
The one positive about A Rod, he's a pressure vacuum. He sucks up all pressure. There has barely been a peep about the continued struggles of Teixeira, Swisher, even Granderson and frighteningly...Cano.
But hey, pitching has been great, bullpen has been good...I'll at least accept making it past round oneLOL

It has been some great games Jody. O's have played damn tough, and the WHOLE post season has been tight. There is really no dominant team or clear front runner. It's all a battle.

Oh well. I guess I'm back to rooting against the Cards first and Yankees second.

I hated to see the Reds lose like that.I noticed you were from Kentucky,my son has two good buddies from Kentucky who he plays with on XBOX live all the time and they are huge Reds fans and are pretty devastated.

Yeah, I'm only about 10 minutes across the river from Cincinnati, so I've grown up mostly with the teams in the 2000s who did diddly squat outside of 2000 and 2005, so 2010 and this year proved to be much better.

I think devastated describes my feelings pretty well right now. Ouch Have to give the Giants congrats for the way they managed to come back though. Boche did a hell of a job managing through these last 3 games, and they definitely deserved the wins.

Like I said though, at this point, I'm going to move on and by tomorrow, I'll probably be looking forward to next year. Best thing I can do is be optimistic about it. Smile

@Scott: Yeah, that pretty much sums up today for the Tigers. LOL

The Reds' loss makes me sad as they have been my favorite NL team since I was a young 'un.

The Cards and Giants sure have the playoff experience to meet in the next round.
I guess you could say the same for the Tigers and Yankees or maybe it's more the inexperience of the Orioles and A's.
I really think a National League team will win it this year although if there's one American League team that can match up well pitching-wise it's the Tigers. We'll see and it should be fun.

Ouch

tough loss! still a chance to win the last one!

 
 
I took my usual approach to check in at inning 9 and I'm glad I did. Pretty nutty stuff all around. Don't know who I should be rooting for in this series but it was pretty exciting regardless.
 
 
And yay Yanks!
 
 
PS - Go Reds!

First pitch is just over 2 hours away. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried about today. But then again, we won the first 2 in San Fran and came back here to Cincy with all that momentum, and look where it got us. And I know Latos is certainly capable of pitching the way he did in Game 1 of the series. Hopefully they're able to pull it out though. And what's October baseball without a few Game 5's and Game 7's anyway? LOL

Go Reds!!!

I'm a Yankees fan.  This is the first year since I started watching baseball that the O's are relevant so I've never really hated them.  I do hate the Ravens which, I'm pretty sure, is Baltimore's only other professional sports team.  If you're a fan of the Capitals, though, I can extend my hate there too.
 
Is it too late to change my predictions?  Why can't anyone ever get rid of the damn Cardinals?  They are like roaches.  Shame on me for trying to put the best remaining teams in the Series, anyway.  I know better.  Also, shame on the Nationals for their completely illogical, absolutely moronic decision to shut down Strasburg.

You know I am not a Caps fans,I love the Pens baby!Clap

And I agree,the Nats are idiots for not playing Strasburg.

I really hate that almost all of the Yankees "scrubs" are former all-stars.  Basically, Verlander needs to pitch a complete game shutout tonight if the Tigers are going to have any chance of salvaging their series tonight.
