2006 League Championship Series Thread

[AJAY]

Walkoff.

 

Magglio.

 

AL Champs.

 

(I'm jealous)

[brettac1]

I'm just glad the Tigers won it the right way:

 

with a three run bomb. No stolen bases, no bunts, just bombs, pitching, and defense. Hat's off. Nothing cheap, nothing controversial. The A's, as fas as I'm concerned, weren't very good, and they didn't play very good. You need offense to win in October, and they don't have any.

[hawing]

AJAY beat me to it. I'm extremely jealous.

 

Why not Milwaukee?

I don't think there is a Tiger fan alive that regrets they paid Magglio Ordonez a boatload of money.

[jloos19]

Watching my friend who's a fairweather Tigers fan go nuts while screaming, "The Tigers are going to the World Series!" over and over again just made me extremely depressed.

[mothershipconnection]

I don't think there is a Tiger fan alive that regrets they paid Magglio Ordonez a boatload of money.

And that's still not a valid defense of overspending by a ton to get a player. They could have signed Jermaine Dye that same offseason for way less money and gotten a bigger return.

Just because a guy plays alright doesn't mean there isn't another guy who could have done the same thing for less.

[burrolover]

They could have signed Jermaine Dye that same offseason for way less money and gotten a bigger return.

 

Yup. they could have had Dye for less. I don't think they're complaining.

Let's go Tigers!

Is it too late to jump on the Detroit bandwagon? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

I liked both Oakland and Detroit, but am happy to see the Tigers win. I hope they whip whichever NL team they face in the World Series.

[hawing]

May I just say how pleased I am that no one here is bothering to comment on Game 4 of the NLCS?

 

(though Ronnie Belliard did have a costly error. Hah.)

[Team Canada]

Beltran is an LCS Monster.

[thefutureishere2006]

at the beginning of the year i predicted mets and tigers

 

 

 

well just mets ...and yankees

 

my how i was off on that one

[bucks2281]

Hey everyone. If you haven't heard, Monday's Game 5 has been PPD due to rain and will be made up Tuesday night at 7:15 pm.

[Weirdos19]

5th inning Game 5.

 

Did anybody notice that they played Weezer's "Hash Pipe" when they brought the reliever in for Glavine?

 

Just a little odd.

[Team Canada]

That's just Fox trying to be hip and with it by playing a band that those young whippersnappers listen to.

[bucks2281]

The Tigers are going to absolutely crush whoever wins this series. I'm curious to see how they match up with the Mets. We already saw the Cards-Tigers matchup, which was pretty ugly.

[Team Canada]

I'm rooting for the Mets just so I don't feel like jumping out the window when Fox gushes over how tough Eckstein is when he stays in the game after hitting a finger because he doesn't hold the bat correctly while bunting.

[pitchleague]

yeah, but at least the Eckstein love isn't just Daron Sutton, like so many people claim. I mean, even Luis Gonzalez was giving the guy props as a player.

[hawing]

So, I see all STL has to do is win one on the road, and they get two chances.

 

I know it's only the NLCS, but that sounds a lot like the last postseason series I really, really, really cared about.

 

Go Mets. Or more specifically, go Tigers starting Saturday.

[jloos19]

The Cardinals may become the worst World Series team since the Padres in 1998. And you could still argue that this Cardinals team is much worse than those Padres.

[princeginterhallhelms04]

If the Cards make it to the World Series I will be cheering for the tigers. I can not stand the Cards! I will not watch the Series. That being said go mets!

[endaround]

Come on I for one just can't wait for the endless LaRussa and Leyland stories, dugout shots, and over indulged McCarver flatteries.And Buck just might hug Pujols!

[mothershipconnection]

Please, somebody just end this series. This has been the most unexciting, uninspiring playoff series I've seen in ages.

[bucks2281]

Please, somebody just end this series. This has been the most unexciting, uninspiring playoff series I've seen in ages.

 

Agreed. Hopefully, we'll see an exciting, inspiring Game Seven because there's been barely any drama this postseason.

[And That]

The JS Online byline for the Mets' win tonight reads:

 

"Maine helps Mets stave off eliminatio"

 

Is it just me, or does that sound bad?

[brarian]

My prediction:

 

The Mets will unveil a surgically altered Steve Trachsel with Pedro Martinez's arm and El Duque's thighs. This "Trachsel-stein" will strike out an amazing 26 batters in a row, until his main weakness, the mind of Steve Trachsel surrenders a 9th inning homer to So Taguchi. Suppan and the Cards bullpen will complete the shutout and win 1-0.

 

It is highly possible this will happen.
