Guest muddy Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 10-4; Rumor has it that in the Met's new stadium EBBETS FIELD II , they are installing a choking station in the home club house! My friend bruce who is a long suffering Indian fan,, just said that to me I DON"T CARE WHAT TEAM YOU ROOT FOR THAT"S FUNNY Quote
Super User senile1 Posted October 1, 2007 Super User Posted October 1, 2007 RIP, 2007 Mets. So who is everyone rooting for in the playoffs? How about the Rockies?? Are they for real or what? I hope they beat the Padres. It would be nice to have a different team moving through the playoffs for a change? I'm rooting for a Rockies - Indians World Series. Quote
bassmasta7 Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 This is ridiculous, tied 6-6 in the bottom of the night with the playoffs on the line... and it's not on tv in my area? > > > > Quote

bassmasta7 Posted October 2, 2007 Posted October 2, 2007 Ok, I found it. I knew it was on TBS but I have satellite. When I saw it was in the 12th inning, I started going channel to channel trying to find it. Finally channel 247 which is like the second TBS for some crazy reason had it on. Apparently TBS is changing to that channel now instead of 17. IDK, but i couldnt think of a worse time to find that out. So i at least got to watch the 13th inning which was the best part. Go Rockies!! Quote
Guest muddy Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 PREDICTIONS: OK FELLAS LETS SEE WHAT YOU THINK These are the wildcard round match ups: Who do you think will win & how many games will each go AL: Angles vs Red Sox Yankees vs Indians NL: Rockies vs Phillies Cubs vs Diamondbacks Quote
nboucher Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 Finally channel 247 which is like the second TBS for some crazy reason had it on. Apparently TBS is changing to that channel now instead of 17. I think the second TBS station is HD. They added HD just in time for the playoffs. I'm guessing the other channel is still there, but isn't HD. Last season (2006), my family bought me HD for father's day, solely so I could watch baseball that way. What a difference! The problem is that it's now hard to watch it on regular television. : Quote

Guest muddy Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 I think you are correct, except I think the Indians will prevail Quote

Guest muddy Posted October 3, 2007 Posted October 3, 2007 The two best WS matchups I would like to see Phillies vs Sox; bet it would go 7 or just from the historic and heartbreak possibilities Cubs vs indians Quote
Jake. Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Sox beat the Angels in 4. Indians in 5 over the Bronk Bombers. Philly over the Rockies in 5. D-BACKS yeah I said D-backs in 3. Indians in 7 beat the Sox. Phillies beat the D backs in 5. World series: Indians in 6. How you like me now??? Quote
Guest muddy Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Hey Jake: Some of the really good BB Writers are picking the D backs to go all the way, that idea is not so unusual. Quote

Red Sox in 4 Yankees in 4 Phillies in 5 Diamondbacks in 4 Oh almost forgot how dominate did Josh Beckett look last night? He just made it look to easy. Another thing, how awful are these TBS announcers omg what a disgrace. As much as I dislike McCarver and Buck the TBS idiots didnt know how to call a game if they went mute and became marionettes and had someone do the talking for them. I never though that calling a game was an art form or hard to do, these guys clearly made up my mind that some people have the skill and others will never have it, even if they got some spam emails telling them that if they took this pill that their game calling ability would surprisingly grow over night. MLB and TBS should be embarrassed by their performance. Quote
Super User flechero Posted October 4, 2007 Super User Posted October 4, 2007 AVID"S little sidekick ;D ;D That's great! edited to add: GO CUBS!! Quote
Guest muddy Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Whoa Beckett is starting to look like Gibson in the post Season, great stuff and he is challenging the hitters, gonna make it tough on us NL fans! Stunning go last night 8-) Quote

The problem is that it's now hard to watch it on regular television. : Sweet, I heard somethin about it on the radio to. The TV in my basement is HD so I guess I will watch it down there. Ok, time for my predictions. Last year I was completely right in my predictions for the NL and was completely wrong in my predictions for the AL. Here it is NLDS: Cubs vs. DBacks W 4 NLDS: W Rockies vs. Phils 5 ALDS: W Red Sox vs. Angels 4 ALDS: W Indians vs. Yankees 5 ALCS: W Indians vs. Red Sox 7 NLCS: Mets Rockies vs. DBacks W 6 World Series: W 6 Indians vs. DBacks WS MVP: Fausto Carmona The NL looks very bad this year. There isnt any depth at starting pitching there. Bad news Cards fans, Jocketty is gone. He is one of the best GM's in MLB. He proved it last year with the world series team he assembled last year from nothing. He will be missed. This makes Tony's decision even more difficult. Quote
Guest muddy Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Hey Bassmasta7 : we usuall agree but for that last statement: The NL looks very bad this year. There isnt any depth at starting pitching there. Check the Dbacks: Over Looked pitching staff, The Phillies only pitch good against the Mets :'(, The Rockies numbers are hard to judge because thier home court is such a hitter's park and the Cubs aint too shabby Quote
Jake. Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Hey Jake: Some of the really good BB Writers are picking the D backs to go all the way, that idea is not so unusual. Yeah, I just like the D-Backs pitching staff. I think Davis is very underated. He has great stuff. Quote
Guest muddy Posted October 4, 2007 Posted October 4, 2007 Don't look now but the Phillies just squandered two HR's by Rollins and Howard and they are gettin pounded ;D Quote
bassmasta7 Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 I actually agree with you on that. The Dbacks is the only staff that has any depth at all. Webb is dirty but after that isnt that much. Doug Davis has been good since the allstar break so i expect him to do good in the playoffs. Outside of Webb, they do not have a started with an ERA under 4. Of the 3 pitchers other than webb who will start in the playoffs, Davis is the only one with a record over .500 but he is still only 13-12. Also, Davis hasnt made it past the 5th inning since his first start in September, 5 starts ago. I think that will be enough to make it to the world series but when they have to face a one two punch like Sabathia and Carmona who are both aces, i dont think it will be enough. Also, Beckett, Dice k, and Schilling, sound pretty good. If the Cards, Mets, and Braves were healthy in the playoffs, I think they all would have better pitching staffs than what is in there for the NL right now. The Cubs arent to bad pitching wise but i just dont like the team overall against the Dbacks. I think Zambrano, Lilly, and Hill are a better top 3 than what the Dbacks have. Then again, the Cards pitching looked shot last year entering the playoffs. In the playoffs, some players step up to the plate and pitch much better than they ever have ex. Anthony Reyes, Jeff Weaver, Jeff Suppan. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted October 5, 2007 Super User Posted October 5, 2007 The TBS crews are good. I could listen to Bob Brenly for years. And as I type that, a two run homer by GEOVANY ******* SOTO!!!!! 2-0 Cubbies in the top of the second. Quote
Guest muddy Posted October 5, 2007 Posted October 5, 2007 CUBS AND PHILLIES DEEP IN THE HOLE BOTH DOWN 2 Indians draw first blood!!!!!!!!!! Quote

I couldnt disagree more with your statement, that the TBS crew is good. The watched a ground ball up the middle and claimed oh here comes a dbl play ball. When there we already 2 outs in the inning. The color commentator was making statements like" Pitching to Big Papi in this situation is a mistake. If I were the pitcher I would try and hit him in the waist". Who makes statements like that!? Saw the Indians/Yankees game last night. Yankees might have a hard time getting past Indians if they do at all. Looking to be a great October of Baseball.... Quote
