2007 MLB Playoffs Thread
 

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.

Go Rockies!
Go Angels!
Go Cubs!

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

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

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

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.

So awesome TBS is in HD now

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

Lucky to get out of that jam only down 3.

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

End of 2, Rockies 3-0

Go Rockies...

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

Those times are EST, correct?

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.

Going to the 9th, 4-2 Rockies.

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.

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

Phillies lost, shows what the geniuses at ESPN think.

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

Garret Anderson's battling through some pink eye. I wonder who farted in his pillow.

Total Eclipse of the Rest of the ****ing Commercials

STONEY SHOULD NOT BE IN BOSTON

I don't ever want to see the East Coast make it.

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit lonely and youre never coming round
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified and then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit restless and I dream of something wild
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit helpless and Im lying like a child in your arms
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit angry and I know Ive got to get out and cry
Turnaround, every now and then I get a little bit terrified but then I see the look in your eyes
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if youll only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And well only be making it right
Cause well never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I dont know what to do and Im always in the dark
Were living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now Im only falling apart
Theres nothing I can do
A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now theres only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

Instrumental

Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround bright eyes
Turnaround, every now and then I know youll never be the boy you always wanted to be
Turnaround, but every now and then I know youll always be the only boy who wanted me the way that I am
Turnaround, every now and then I know theres no one in the universe as magical and wondrous as you
Turnaround, every now and then I know theres nothing any better and theres nothing I just wouldnt do
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart
Turnaround bright eyes, every now and then I fall apart

And I need you now tonight
And I need you more than ever
And if youll only hold me tight
Well be holding on forever
And well only be making it right
Cause well never be wrong together
We can take it to the end of the line
Your love is like a shadow on me all of the time
I dont know what to do and Im always in the dark
Were living in a powder keg and giving off sparks
I really need you tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight
Forevers gonna start tonight

Once upon a time I was falling in love
But now Im only falling apart
Nothing I can do

A total eclipse of the heart
Once upon a time there was light in my life
But now theres only love in the dark
Nothing I can say
A total eclipse of the heart

GO DIAMONDBACKS!

There will probably be more Cubs fans than D'Backs fans. Also,

:thumb:

Amen! :thumb:

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.

0-0, end of 1st.

Greatest baseball game ever. I literally hit my head on the ceiling once it went out. Of course I'm a little bias...

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...

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.

End of 2nd, still 0-0

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

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

Still tied 0, going to the 4th.

So is Frank Caliendo getting a TV show or something?

WHERE WAS THAT FOR MY FANTASY TEAM, DREW!

YEEEEESSSSSSS ANOTHER GUY ON 2ND

How many points is that now?

:spock:

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

Cubs got the bases loaded, 2 outs aganist Webb.

THERE'S A RIOT IN THE BOB COB

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

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.

He should have broken his bat over his knee.

Also **** that reerun with the sign.

Frank Thomas' personality is MAGNETIC.

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

The Cubs plate discipline is just awful.

So much for the bullpen.

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.

Good thing they got rid of that Julio Jorge guy.

DBACKS WIN!

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

Wise move, dumbass.

Sweet. :thumb:

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.

Tulowitzki jacks one to left, 1-0 Rockies.

And Holliday follows with another. 2-0 Rockies.

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

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

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

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.

Inning over, and the Philly crowd is booing.

KAZ MATSUI, BITCHES

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

Wow. Rockies are up 6-3.

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

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

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

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.

Matsui needs a single for the cycle I think.

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.

****

Here we go!

JOHNNY!

Home run to start the game.

Kenny Lofton comes up huge. 3-1 Indians.

Dammit Wang!

Kenny Clutch
