2007 MLB Playoffs Thread

[tk13]

Well I don't see one anywhere else. First game just started on TBS.

3pm - Rockies vs. Phillies
6:30 - Angels vs. Red Sox
10pm - Cubs. vs. Diamondbacks

All on the docket for today.

[ChiefsCountry]

Go Rockies!
Go Angels!
Go Cubs!

[tk13]

Todd Helton hits the first pitch he ever sees in a playoff game for a triple. Waited a long time for that one.

[tk13]

Atkins follows with an RBI double. 1-0 Rockies.

[tk13]

Dangerous spot for the Phillies. They're down 2-0, bases loaded for Tulowitzki.

[kcxiv]

I was oringally going for Philly because i didnt think the Rockies had a shot, but i wouldnt mind if they won. Them or Philly.

[kcxiv]

So awesome TBS is in HD now

[tk13]

Walks him, 3-0 Rockies. Bases loaded for Holliday. Chance to blow it open.

[tk13]

Lucky to get out of that jam only down 3.

[Frazod]

My favorite team is whoever is playing the f#cking Cubs. Beyond that, I don't give a shit.

[kcxiv]

End of 2, Rockies 3-0

[Chief Henry]

Go Rockies...

[Thig Lyfe]

So awesome TBS is in HD now

I can now watch House of Payne in crystal-clear quality!

[Coach]

Well I don't see one anywhere else. First game just started on TBS.

3pm - Rockies vs. Phillies
6:30 - Angels vs. Red Sox
10pm - Cubs. vs. Diamondbacks

All on the docket for today.

Those times are EST, correct?

[tk13]

Yes.

It's 4-2 Rockies in the bottom of the 8th.

[Coach]

Yes.

It's 4-2 Rockies in the bottom of the 8th.

Thank you. I just wanted to be sure. That being said, I'm glad that I finally managed (don't ask how) to get the game on my home TV.

[tk13]

Going to the 9th, 4-2 Rockies.

[tk13]

Rockies win, 4-2. Lead the series 1-0. Game 2 is tomorrow at 3 pm eastern.

Former Royal Mark Redman is gonna start tomorrow for Colorado... that should be interesting. Rookie Kyle Kendrick will pitch for Philly, probably a must-win.

Great pitching matchup between Lackey and Beckett should be up next tonight.

[Nzoner]

I would love to see a Cubs-Red Sox World Series

[ChiefsCountry]

Phillies lost, shows what the geniuses at ESPN think.

[tk13]

Steve Stone is the analyst for the next game on TBS! Awesome! Haven't seen him in forever.

[Ultra Peanut]

Steve Stone is the analyst for the next game on TBS! Awesome! Haven't seen him in forever.WHY THE **** ISN'T HE DOING THE CUBS GAME

HE LIVES IN ARIZONA FOR ****'S SAKE

GO DIAMONDBACKS!

GO DIAMONDBACKS!

Amen! :thumb:

[tk13]

Kirk Gibson is gonna limp to the plate in the bottom of the 9th tonight and jack one into the swimming pool off Dennis Dempsterly.

[Coach]

0-0, end of 1st.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Kirk Gibson is gonna limp to the plate in the bottom of the 9th tonight and jack one into the swimming pool off Dennis Dempsterly.
Greatest baseball game ever. I literally hit my head on the ceiling once it went out. Of course I'm a little bias...

[L.A. Chieffan]

I don't really want the Cubs to win so they can still be the one team that hasn't won in a hundred years. But I hate the D-bags even more.

Shit, there's a lot of Cubbie fans there...

[BillyDaleClanton]

Shit, there's a lot of Cubbie fans there...

No suprise. Nearby Mesa is a Cubs town. That area is flooded with Cubs fans during spring training. A ticket to Ho Ho Kam Park in March is a tough ticket.

[Coach]

End of 2nd, still 0-0

[Coach]

Looks like Zambrano might had learned a thing or 2 from Kirk Gibson.

[Coach]

Once through the order and the pitchers have had the best ABs.

Still tied 0, going to the 4th.

[Ultra Peanut]

So is Frank Caliendo getting a TV show or something?

[tk13]

WHERE WAS THAT FOR MY FANTASY TEAM, DREW!

[Ultra Peanut]

YEEEEESSSSSSS ANOTHER GUY ON 2ND

How many points is that now?

[L.A. Chieffan]

YEEEEESSSSSSS ANOTHER GUY ON 2ND

How many points is that now?
:spock:

[Coach]

:spock:

She's referring to how many Cub runners stranded on 2nd.

[Coach]

Cubs got the bases loaded, 2 outs aganist Webb.

[Ultra Peanut]

THERE'S A RIOT IN THE BOB COB

[Coach]

Cubs got the bases loaded, 2 outs aganist Webb.

And they get one in. Game's tied, bases are still loaded.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Got a run now

[Coach]

Got a run now

Yeah, they had alot of chances, but they stranded a whole hell alot of runners on 2nd.

Zambrano whiffs, but the Cubs get a very important run.

[Ultra Peanut]

He should have broken his bat over his knee.

Also **** that retard with the sign.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Frank Thomas' personality is MAGNETIC.

[Ultra Peanut]

I was feeling sleepy but the Big Hurt's oratory skills are just invigorating.

[Coach]

The Cubs plate discipline is just awful.

[tk13]

So much for the bullpen.

[tk13]

Haha what was up with that? A Cubs fan behind the plate got yelled at by the umpires because he was holding up a neon Cubs sign.

[HolmeZz]

Good thing they got rid of that Julio Jorge guy.

[runnercyclist]

DBACKS WIN!

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Now Pinella wants to bring Zambrano's fat ass back on 3 days rest for Sunday's game...

Wise move, dumbass.

[Frazod]

DBACKS WIN!

Sweet. :thumb:

[tk13]

Today's matchups, starting here in 15 minutes or so:

Rockies vs. Phillies
Yankees vs. Indians
Cubs vs. Diamondbacks


I guess the Rockies are starting Franklin Morales... which is a great move. Now watch him prove me wrong.

[tk13]

Tulowitzki jacks one to left, 1-0 Rockies.

[tk13]

And Holliday follows with another. 2-0 Rockies.

[tk13]

Jimmy Rollins with a leadoff homer, 2-1 Rockies. Here comes the offense.

[HolmeZz]

Burrell was struck out twice. Don't know what game this ump's watching.

[tk13]

Rollins with a 2 run triple, 3-2 Phillies. MVP chants from the crowd.

[tk13]

Kaz Matsui whacks a grand slam off Kyle Lohse, who just came into the game. 6-3 Rockies. Both starters are out of the game in the 4th.

[tk13]

Inning over, and the Philly crowd is booing.

[HolmeZz]

KAZ MATSUI, BITCHES

[kcxiv]

Just got done watching Herm on Rome is burning, Now its baseball time.

Wow. Rockies are up 6-3.

[tk13]

Jose Mesa in to pitch the 6th for the Phillies. This should be interesting. Chance to flush their season down the drain right here.

[tk13]

Big shocker, walks the first two batters, Philly crowd is getting restless.

[tk13]

And a 2 run double. 8-3 Rockies. Jose Mesa strikes again.

[ClevelandBronco]

8-3 Rockies in the 6th.

The Avalanche (NHL) moved their game to 5 p.m. MDT so fans could theoretically see the Broncos game, the Avs game and the Rockies game.

Things keep going like this and there may be no Rockies game.

[HolmeZz]

Matsui needs a single for the cycle I think.

[tk13]

Mesa's yanked, but Matsui hits a RBI triple.

Close the book on Mesa, 1/3 IP, 3 R allowed... and the one out was a sac bunt. 9-3 Rockies.. and Charlie Manuel might have just flushed the Phillies season right down the tubes.

[Ultra Peanut]

[Basileus777]

Here we go!

[Basileus777]

JOHNNY!

Home run to start the game.

[tk13]

Kenny Lofton comes up huge. 3-1 Indians.

[Basileus777]

Dammit Wang!

[runnercyclist]

Kenny Clutch

[Smed1065]

Sweet!

[2112]

Here we go!
How did you become a Yankee, Rutgers, Chiefs fan? :spock:

[Basileus777]

How did you become a Yankee, Rutgers, Chiefs fan? :spock:

The only non NJ/NY team that I root for is the Chiefs and I got that from my father. I've been a Chiefs fan since I was a kid.

[2112]

The only non NJ/NY team that I root for is the Chiefs and I got that from my father. I've been a Chiefs fan since I was a kid.
Poor kid :D

[Basileus777]

Cano doesn't run all year, why send him there?

[runnercyclist]

Poor kid :D

I know! Being a Yankee fan must suck.

[2112]

The Indians have no bullpen, and fatso Sabathia has 50 pitches through 2 innings. this is good news.

Now if that douchebag Posada will stop calling for the curveball, maybe we can get somebody out.

[HolmeZz]

Cano doesn't run all year, why send him there?

Damon was behind in the count and now leadoffs next inning.

[2112]

I know! Being a Yankee fan must suck.
Don't you have beer to make?

[Basileus777]

I know! Being a Yankee fan must suck.

Being a fan of the most successful franchise in sports history really sucks. :rolleyes:

[HolmeZz]

Being a fan of the most successful franchise in sports history really sucks. :rolleyes:

Kinda silly to brag about championships that were won 60+ years before you were even born.

[Basileus777]

Kinda silly to brag about championships that were won 60+ years before you were even born.

I've witnessed four of them, thats more than most sports franchises have won. I wish I could say the same about the Chiefs...

[2112]

He's a Met fan, he's bitter.

[HolmeZz]

I've witnessed four of them, thats more than most sports franchises have won. I wish I could say the same about the Chiefs...

That's great. Doesn't make it any less silly to go the 'most successful franchise in all of sports' angle. I doubt anyone our age goes around bragging about the Chiefs Super Bowl victory, nor should they/we.

[Basileus777]

That's great. Doesn't make it any less silly to go the 'most successful franchise in all of sports' angle. I doubt anyone our age goes around bragging about the Chiefs Super Bowl victory.

Thats because the Chiefs haven't won shit since then. If the Chiefs had won 26 total and 4 in our lifetime Chiefs fans would absolutely be bragging about it.

[tk13]

That might be the worst I've ever seen Jeter look with a bat in his hands. Totally got crossed up.

[Deberg_1990]

Sweet....Jeter looked like a fool there.

[HolmeZz]

Thats because the Chiefs haven't won shit since then. If the Chiefs had won 26 total and 4 in our lifetime we would absolutely be bragging about it.

I'd brag about the ones I got to witness. I have no emotional investment in sh*t I wasn't alive for.

[2112]

I'd brag about the ones I got to witness. I have no emotional investment in sh*t I wasn't alive for.
Sure about that?

All I here about is the heroic 1986 Mets all the time. I guess the video is still too grainy to be talking about the 69 Mets, heh?

[tk13]

Cabrera with the big fly. 4-1 Indians.

[HolmeZz]

Sure about that?

All I here about is the heroic 1986 Mets all the time. I guess the video is still too grainy to be talking about the 69 Mets, heh?

You shouldn't be hearing anything from anyone who didn't get to witness it.

[Basileus777]

Wang is leaving way too many balls up in the zone.

[tk13]

Bandwagon LeBron in the stands.

[HolmeZz]

I hate LeBron.

[the Talking Can]

Wang is leaving way too many balls up in the zone.

!

[tk13]

LeBron's leaving to go root for USC this weekend.

[HolmeZz]

I bet LeBron brags about the 26 Yankee championships.

[eazyb81]

WTF? Why the F was LeBron wearing a Yankees hat?

[2112]

Wang is leaving way too many balls up in the zone.
Torre should have started Pettite in this game, and saved Wang for game 3.

[runnercyclist]

Don't you have beer to make?

Yes, actually. I'm brewing my pumpkin ale this weekend!

Go Indians!

(Sorry, lifetime Royals fan = Yankee hater)

[runnercyclist]

Being a fan of the most successful franchise in sports history really sucks. :rolleyes:

Yes, I can only imagine it must. Spend all that money to be beat by teams like the Diamondbacks and the Indians!

[2112]

You shouldn't be hearing anything from anyone who didn't get to witness it.
That's fair, but your opinion is in the minority around these parts.

[Basileus777]

Nice job Cano. 4-2 ballgame

[runnercyclist]

That was a shot

[kcxiv]

C.C is getting hosed on strike calls in the 5th

[Basileus777]

Abreu double
4-3 Indians
Bases loaded for Posada.

[tk13]

Gutsy pitching by Sabathia.

[Basileus777]

Wow, monumental opportunity wasted there. ****ing Matsui, I knew he'd blow it. We need to bench him for Giambi.

That is it for CC. We got past their ace with our "ace" pretty off his game. Yet the score is only 4-3. We are totally in this game.

Good thign about the play offs is some of your starting rotation is now the bullpen.

They should have Caliendo's Pacino doing analysis after the game instead of The Big Hurt. I'd stick around and watch that.

[eazyb81]

So what would be the reaction in KC if LJ showed up to a Royals playoff game wearing the opponent's hat?

What a f'n douche - you've gotta be kidding me.

I am a Dodgers fan and i got 1988, so i am right there with ya.lol

[kcxiv]

Damn Baseball looks awesome in HD.

[Deberg_1990]

Bump..they just put on the Cubs/Diamondbacks game

[tk13]

Ted Lilly just spiked his glove. That's a 5 yard penalty. 3-2 D'backs.

[Ultra Peanut]

Stephen Drew you are a mother****er. Ted Lilly you are a mother****ing mother****er.

[Ultra Peanut]

We HAVE to win the World Series, so every sane fan can hate Theriot as much as they hate Eckstein.

[Ultra Peanut]

****ING **** THIS GODFORSAKEN BALLPARK THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HOMER IN 99 MALERIJER LEAGUE PARKS

[Ultra Peanut]

That was cheating they cheated.

[Ultra Peanut]

someone please buy the Cubs and steal Billy Beane and build a $500 million payroll (including A-Rod) kthx

[Ultra Peanut]

I still love Juan Cruz.

[Ultra Peanut]

Holy crap that was almost a home run!

[tk13]

Did Dick Stockton just say the Cowboys instead of the Cubs? Or am I just losing my mind.

This is on pace to be a 5 hour game.

[Frazod]

Jesus, what a bloodletting. ROFL

All of the Cub fans leaping off the bandwagon at the same time is making my house shake.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Look at all of these jerk offs, down by 4 runs, about to go down 0-2, and they're yucking it up in the stands.

I'd be homicidal if I were in their plight.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

#2 Reason why the Cubs won't do anything in the post season (aside from being the Cubs)

1 guy had more than 60 walks

No one had more BBs than K's.

That's pathetic.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Nice play you stupid c*nts.

[tk13]

D'backs being way too sloppy with a 4 run lead.

['Hamas' Jenkins]

Aramis Ramirez...pwned.

[tk13]

Helps when you can throw 96 mph gas right by people though. Cubs in a 2-0 hole now.

[Ultra Peanut]

This is awesome I think I'll go celebrate by shooting myself.

OMG, I can't stop laughing!

[JuicesFlowing]

Todd Helton hits the first pitch he ever sees in a playoff game for a triple. Waited a long time for that one.

Helton is one of the most underrated players in MLB in my opinion ... He is solid ... He reminds me of George Brett in a weird way, I hope he plays his entire career in Colorado.

[tk13]

Carmona looks sharp in the 1st against the Yankees.

[tk13]

Nats have stormed the field and taken over the Yankees-Indians game.

[L.A. Chieffan]

Gnats or Nationals?

[tk13]

They are literally spraying all the players and the entire infield with bug repellant. Cleveland is cursed with bad weather. Snow, lake fires, swarms of insects.

[tk13]

Gnats or Nationals?
The insect. They are EVERYWHERE. You can see them swarming all around the pitching mound and batters box. It is ridiculous. The last AB between Carmona and Minky(keiweiwewicz) literally took several minutes because each side kept stepping off the rubber/out of the box to clear away the bugs.

[kstater]

This is pretty funny

[tk13]

Haha, there are literally 10-20 bugs on Joba Chamberlain's neck, and 10-20 more on the top of his hat. And he's clearly struggling to pitch through it. Walked the first batter on 4 pitches, and now threw a wild pitch.

[Bugeater]

This is crazy, I've never seen anything like this before.

[the Talking Can]

are they playing in a Panama jungle?

[kstater]

If the gnats were at a Cubs game there would be riots.



And wild pitch to tie it

[tk13]

Another wild pitch, and we're tied. This is insane.

[the Talking Can]

is Cleveland just a rotting carcass?

[eazyb81]

is Cleveland just a rotting carcass?

I take it you've never been there.

[tk13]

Now a HBP. Chamberlain is falling apart. This guy has been almost perfect.. who knew it'd take a swarm of bugs to rattle him.

[kstater]

Why isn't Torre "the greatest of all time [/end sarcasm]" pulling this kid?

[the Talking Can]

i have never seen anything like this in sports...

[eazyb81]

Why isn't Torre "the greatest of all time [/end sarcasm]" pulling this kid?

I'm not sure anyone would do better with all the damn bugs.

[Basileus777]

F'N BUGS!!!! :cuss:

[Ultra Peanut]

Now a HBP. Chamberlain is falling apart. This guy has been almost perfect.. who knew it'd take a swarm of bugs to rattle him.Is it wrong that I sort of want his career take on an Ankiel-esque trajectory now?

[tk13]

Is it wrong that I sort of want his career take on an Ankiel-esque trajectory now?
"And henceforth, every time a bug landed on his face while on the mound, Joba would have a nervous breakdown...."

[the Talking Can]

Rodriguez with a chance for post season redemption...

[the Talking Can]

Baseball should think about making the bugs permanent....more exciting

[Ultra Peanut]

GO AHEAD RUN CHIP YOU GOOFBALL

Rodriguez strikes out

Huge strikeout. Carmona's an ace. Bottom of the 9th, tie game.

[Basileus777]

And he swings on a ball....

[Ultra Peanut]

Now the bugs are messing with the Yankees' bats. http://i21.tinypic.com/34qpv6p.gif

(It's all A-Rod's fault. True Yankees don't allow bugs to enter their presence.)

[tk13]

Going to extra insects. Er, innings.

[Basileus777]

Nice easy inning, 10 pitches i think...he can probably go another.

[Ultra Peanut]

DAMN YOU A-ROD HOW DARE YOU NOT GET A HIT IN THAT INNING

[Basileus777]

Cano is an undisciplined ****. 1st pitch every time.

[Ultra Peanut]

Akavir ("Dragon Land" in the native Akaviri language) lies some 4,200 miles to the east of Tamriel and is the homeland of the Akaviri, who are further divided into four sub-races: the Kamal, the Tsaesci, the Tang Mo, and the Ka Po' Tun. Little else is known about the continent or the people of Akavir, as few Tamrielians have ever dared to cross the vast ocean which separates it from Tamriel. It is believed that humans lived in Akavir at one time, but were eventually "eaten" by the Tsaesci, who have themselves launched several attacks upon Tamriel in past ages.

Haha. "There's no effective way to control them."

[Mr. Laz]

making him work ...... more pitches he throws the longer he be out for the rest of the series.

[Ultra Peanut]

Haha. "There's no effective way to control them."Maybe they should turn off the lights.

Or Joba should shower more often. Either/or.

[Mr. Laz]

foul'em off until his arm falls off :clap:

[tk13]

Torre looks like he's falling asleep.

[Mr. Laz]

safe!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

PBJ

[tk13]

Well that was crazy. Reached on a strikeout. Great at-bat though.

[Ultra Peanut]

JETER WOULD HAVE CAUGHT THAT **** YOU A-ROD

[Ultra Peanut]

That was awesome.

[Mr. Laz]

sacrifice


c'mon ......... 1 good hit now

[tk13]

Good bunt. Runner at 2nd, 1 out. Big bats coming to the plate.

[tk13]

I'm surprised they aren't walking Hafner.

[Mr. Laz]

what the hell was he swinging at?

[Mr. Laz]

hit by a pitch ............. maybe. :D

[Ultra Peanut]

He's like a snake in winter!

[tk13]

Bases loaded. Peralta up.

[Deberg_1990]

Angels and Red Sox is on TNT......for fans of those teams...

[Mr. Laz]

dammit ....... give lofton a chance to steal before you bunt

[tk13]

Base hit. 2 on, nobody out.

[kstater]

Can the Indians finally get a hit with RISP(1-16)?

[kstater]

bunt doesn't matter if you can't hit.

Come on for once get a hit.

[kstater]

So why did they take Damon out?

[tk13]

The Indians have had a bazillion chances, they gotta take advantage of one of them. Just a sac fly, anything.

[tk13]

So why did they take Damon out?
He doesn't have a very strong throwing arm. Although it's gonna be tough to get Lofton on a fly ball anyway.

[kstater]

He doesn't have a very strong throwing arm. Although it's gonna be tough to get Lofton on a fly ball anyway.


Thats what I was thinking. IF they somehow can get out of this(and I mean IF) wouldn't you want Damon? Lofton's in if it get into the outfield.

[tk13]

Popped it straight up. Now they need a base hit. On the bright side they've got Hafner up.

[kstater]

BIG cut

[kstater]

Someone needs to tell Hafner he doesn't need a home run

[kstater]

That's why you shouldn't walk the bases loaded on purpose.

Game.

[tk13]

Base hit. Indians win. Hafner's a beast.

Indians up 2-0.
