MLB Postseason

Lina · **MLB Postseason -** 10-12-2009, 03:20 AM

Yankees playing amazingly, BoSox failing. The universe is once again balanced.

PS: Mark Teixiera is my new hero.

I'm expecting this thread to get MAYBE one response. On average, threads created these days get about 3 responses, and when you take away all the Brits who don't pay any attention to baseball, well, the outlook isn't good.

Yes. And I believe the Sox were swept. Swept away like the garbage they are. That's awfully corny, but I had to.

And the Yankees are going too!!

A-Rod still has a better career playoff OPS than Derek Jeter.

It's hard for me to take the Yankees seriously when almost the entire lineup nearly doubled their home run count this season.

That's cool and all, but... baseball kind of sucks.

Just like how there was no recession? lololololol pwnt.

Lina · 10-14-2009, 01:46 AM

WRONG AGAIN.

Okay, how about football? Watch the last Pats game?! I really liked how elegantly Brady threw the ball two feet ahead of him into a pack of opponents.

Yankees and Angels is a little scary, since they have a good record against us. But if we play as we've been, especially the last few games, I think we have it!

If your lefties keep hitting dinky pop-ups to right field that keep leaving the ballpark***

Literally all four teams I was rooting for in the DS got eliminated. In my pool, I had Yanks over Sox in the ALCS in 5, then the Cards over the Phils in the NLCS in 5 or 6. Then I had Yanks over Cards in either 4 or 5 in the WS. I was eliminated from that pool pretty immediately.

Wow last night's game was good! A-Rod delivered ONCE AGAIN.

A-Rod > Jeter

Patriots are looking pretty good actually. 59-0.. haven't seen a rapefest that bad in 50 years. 5 touchdowns in one quarter? Yeah that's a record.

The Giants on the other hand... got raped by the first good team they played. Overrated, for sure.

Lina · 10-20-2009, 01:52 AM

Well if you had responded on time you wouldn't have been able to say that!

And Giants losing doesn't really bother me all that much. I'd rather see them win over most teams, but I quite like the Saints, so I was glad to see them triumph. I actually liked the Saints before I began to support the Giants (which I will openly admit was 2008, especially the 18-1 rapefest, to use your term). And Steelers won last week, so all is well for me. Excited for Steelers - 'kings!

Yanks lost it at the last minute, but you can't say they didn't play hard. It was really Chamberlain who fucked it all up. :/ Pretty awesome though that every run was a single homer.

Strategic timing :P. I kind of like the Saints too, mostly because of Drew Brees. I lived in San Diego back when Brees was starting over there and I knew he was legit.. never imagined him to be this good though! I'm predicting that by the end of this year he'll have the honor of being in the same sentence as Peyton Manning and Tom Brady.

I want to see the World Series be Phillies/Yankees.. with the Yanks dominating the first three games and then blowing the last four. Maybe then Lina, you will feel the pain that I did during the '07 Superbowl!

Why not bring up the '04 ALCS?

EDIT: A-Rod just went deep again. He's not quite at Bonds' 2002 level of crazy hot for a postseason, but he's level with Beltran from 2004.

I'd put him on the same level as Brady, and a half-step behind Manning.

Not the World Series, besides (and correct me if I'm wrong) isn't this Yankees team a lot more stacked than the one in 04?

Feeding the Abscess · 10-21-2009, 08:25 PM

The '04 team was pretty good. I'd say it's a valid comparison; they blew a 3-0 lead to their bitter rivals, it was possibly the biggest flop/comeback in baseball postseason history. The Patriots/Giants don't really have a rivalry, so while that defeat came in the Super Bowl, there's no added sting of a century-long rivalry.

Special Defects · 11-03-2009, 12:54 AM

Ha, that was awesome how A-Rod got nailed with the ball in the 1st inning and out of nowhere some fans started screaming "YOU USED SETEROIDS!"

Lina · 11-03-2009, 01:35 AM

People can say whatever the hell they want about A-Rod, but he's going to continue being a great baseball player. This is his first World Series!

Mark Teixeira is an amazing first baseman. I am always further impressed by him. And Nick Swisher has done a fabulous job holding down his portion of the outfield.

Last night, Johnny Damon stole 2nd! AND THEN 3rd! He really stuck it in the BoSox's asses tonight too; before the game he said this was the most important time of his career, even though he ALREADY WON THE WORLD SERIES with Boston. HA.

A-Fraud.

Or A-Roids.

Take your pick.
