Been quite neglectful here but I have been following the season lol
What a final month. Yanks and Os had one helluva struggle there, huge props to the Os for their success.
The toughest 95 wins the Yanks have had in a long ass time, and I think it was probably good they had to struggle for once. They proved they actually CAN play baseball! I was real worried they would choke.
 
But they're in the playoffs, everyone is healthy now, a few players are streaking...there are issues but what team doesn't have any? I'm more confident than usual.
 
Huge congrats to the Oakland As and of course Miguel Cabrera. Awesome achievement.
Oh, and RA Dickey nabs 20 wins, a good guy and lone bright spot on a miserable 2012 mets team.

It is going to good football weather on Saturday for the Tigers-A's game.  I'm a-gonna freeze my butt off.  Hopefully it'll be worth it.

That first game was certainly a dissapointment.  I wasn't even rooting for Atlanta (or even St Louis), but yechh!!!

Enjoy the game today Scott, it will be cool so keep warm.
I know the Cards were big underdogs in that game but it's pretty much the same team that won the World Series so i thought they would somehow find a way to win it, even if it was ugly.
Wouldn't surprise me if Texas fires their manager because someone will become the scapegoat.

I don't like this idea of the teams with the better record starting the series on the road. I know they didn't do this last year.

Yes, and to declare the wild card winner on a single elimination game. And what a strange decision by the Washington's management to put a end on pitcher's year in September... And what a confusion with the infield hit rule against the Braves on play in the Outfield.

Yes, truly a strange set of occurrences during the last few weeks.

And next year because of Houston being moved to the American League, there will be an interleague game played just about every night.

I agree with you guys. When i heard there would be a second wild card team i didn't know that just mean't they'd play a one game elimination game to see who would go on. I don't agree with that at all.
And the team with the better record starting off on the road makes no sense to me either. Hopefully they'll get it right in the coming years.

Apparently the idea behind the starting on the road is due to adding the 1 extra day for the wild card game.  They eliminate 1 travel day by having the series as 2 road 3 home versus having it 2 home 2 road 1 home.  In theory this keeps it on track with prior year playoffs.  It kind of seems like a bunch of BS to me though.

But it was nice to see Verlander with 11 K's in the opener with Fister starting tomorrow. I think the A's did the Tigers a huge favor beating the Rangers. I'd much rather see the Tigers face the A's, no matter how many games they won at the end of the season.

Verlander looked pretty shaky the first 3 innings, but end results were great.  Good to win a game with both Fielder and Cabrera having oh-fers.   And who was that guy in the 9th inning getting the A's out 1-2-3?

Yeah, Verlander looked like a beast today. And obviously the Tigers are going to need that going forward.

I don't believe it. Cueto leaves the game in the first inning, but we still already have 3 runs scored. This has to be by far one of the most resilient teams I've ever seen in the years I've been watching baseball. If my Reds win tonight, I think the Giants are done for. It's also nice to know they've learned how to score runs again when they went through all of September with such a big hitting slump.

Don Kelly has a run and an RBI without an official at bat. He has the highest WAR in history! Higher even than Ben Zobrist, who should have been MVP two out of the last three years based on WAR (forget Justin Verlander, Josh Hamilton or Miguel Cabrera - their stats are made up). So what if Kelly batted .186 this year, batting average is an arbitrary number for old people.Wink

On the first page of this thread I made my regular season predictions.  This is where I'd be grading them, if they weren't so depressing.  Giving myself a D-.
That said:
World Series 2012:
Detroit Tigers in 6 over the Washington Nationals
