Go A's

 

Go Cards

[thefutureishere2006]

i honestly don't care who whens either series. i hope for some exciting game 7 baseball for once these playoffs.

[trwi7]

Go Tigers and Cardinals!

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Go A's

Go Met's

 

Would make my prediction at the start of the season right!

[brettac1]

I picked A's over Cards at BP in the Predictatron contest. I'm not going to win it, but I think I'm in the top 100 or something.

[brettac1]

Well, there's Barry Zito/Doug Davis, again.

 

2 runs is probably asking a lot from the A's offense against a LHP, considering Macha didn't play Kielty.

[burrolover]

I'd like to see the Tigers win this thing but mostly because I liked Alan Trammell and Lou Whitaker when I was growing up. And they had Juan Berenguer and who doesn't like saying that name or Aurelio Lopez.

[Team Canada]

Well, there's Barry Zito/Doug Davis, again.

 

Took the words outta my mouth. He's like a rich man's DD out there. Yuck.

[burrolover]

A's get 2 guys on a follow with two k's. Blech.

May I just say that if/when (your choice) the Brewers reach a post-season again...let's please not be wielding foam noodles that look like pool toys.

Not unless Miller radically changes their bottle design.

I'd like to think sheer lung volume after patiently waiting for ? years would eliminate any necessity for silly noise makers. I'd certainly think throat lozenge sales would increase dramatically in the greater Milwaukee metroplex ahould that happen.

SEE?!?!? The Brewers CAN be a playoff team!

BTW, nice play by Guillen on the pool cue shot to first.

I alone might buy up Culver's Lemon Ice supply. http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[thefutureishere2006]

ive decided go tigers and mets

 

i predicted a mets WS ring at beginning of year.

 

off to a good start

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Looks like we will have to flip back and forth between fox and FX tonite if we want to watch both games. I really wish they would have just moved the A's game to 9pm. But here's wising for an A's win and A Met's win...

[brettac1]

I'd assume the A's game will be on FX in WI, am I right?

[princeginterhallhelms04]

Yeah it looks like the A's are on FX.

[princeginterhallhelms04]

ESPN also is reporting that there is a possiblity that the Mets game tonite might be called due to rain.

[burrolover]

Detroit deserves to lose for simply starting Neifi Perez.

 

I was almost beginning to like listening to Lou Pinella and then he said "veteran presence" in regards to starting Perez as a good player.

[burrolover]

100 MPH pitchers are cool, especially when they come inside

[bjkrautk]

The Tigers' second inning was the perfect example of the type of execution that the Brewers haven't been able to match.

 

Leadoff double.

Pudge looks to hit behind the runner, knowing that it will result either in a base hit, or moving the runner to 3rd.

Sac Fly scores the run.

 

They didn't play for one run, but at the same time, they put themselves in a position to create productive outs and advance the leadoff baserunner. It's neither small ball or moneyball, just good baseball.

 

Whoever the next Brewers hitting coach is, I hope he can do a better job instilling that kind of mindset with the hitters. (And yes, a big part of executing in those situations requires the hitter not to strike out.)

[brettac1]

I heart Milton Bradley.

[burrolover]

I heart Milton, too but I heart Placido more
