2009 League Championship Series games

Wow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Wow

The Angels have looked like the dumbest team in baseball the past two nights.

[TooLiveBrew]

It does get to be a bit much just like it does with Favre, but Jeter is a very smart baseball player.

I completely agree, Jason. In fact, I was just saying that to Principessa (who, as you might expect, is out of her gourd at the moment!)

[owbc]

Small ball usually works in the playoffs, but not against the 2009 Yankees.

[jason21nl]

A Rod is out of his mind right now

[TooLiveBrew]

Too bad he isn't clutch like Derek 'E, GDP, clutch K in Game 2' Jeter

[And That]

I've been watching the Angels-Yankees game for about 2 minutes and Tim McCarver has already unleashed these two statements, both about Rod Carew:

 

"He's one of the few players to have his number retired by the Minnesota Twins and the Angels."

 

"He used to steal home... from third."

[TooLiveBrew]

Someday, when McCarver is no longer has the #1 color commentary job in all of baseball...

 

 

Oh, sorry, I was just staring glassy-eyed at the wall with a faint smile & forgot what I was going to say.

[TooLiveBrew]

Wow, and Ken Rosenthal basically just said the Angels are mentally weak. (Paraphrasing) 'Teams are just falling apart at the sight of the Yankees. Maybe the tough-minded Phillies are the team that can take them on'

 

Seriously, the Milwaukee Brewers have a better broadcasting team on an everyday basis than the supposed #1 broadcast in baseball.

[jason21nl]

Mo gets out of a HUGE jam....

 

Mark Teixeira sure can glove it at first. Wow!

[TooLiveBrew]

And Girardi overmanages his team to the loss.

I've decided to root for the Dodgers in the NLCS, solely so I have more opportunities to listen to Vin Scully. Thanks, Gameday audio!

[hawing]

I swear, if Matt freakin' Stairs ties it in the 9th, I might swear off the rest of the postseason tonight (instead of waiting until a Yankees-Phillies WS).

 

Seriously, after he hit that home run off Dave Bush in April or May or whenever, my mom emailed me to ask who he was, and said he looks like he should be getting AARP mail.

[trwi7]

These games have been some of the most dramatic I can ever remember in the playoffs. Usually there's a few dramatic games in the playoffs, but nearly every game in the playoffs this year has been. It's incredibly fun to watch.

[Marc Newfield of Dreams]

I can't stand Chip Caray. It's like he pre-plans his calls, regardless if it comes to fruition or not. There was no throw or play at the plate, Chip.

 

BA should be calling these games, Caray is a hack.

[TooLiveBrew]

Agreed, MNoD. BA would have been a much better choice.

Oh Vin, why are you leaving us without your smooth pipes after this season!? The Dodgers are the next team after the Brewers whose games I've watched most since we've had Extra Innings. It's always worth it to tune in for Vin.

 

He will be missed http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/frown.gif

[TooLiveBrew]

Awesome screengrab, trwi!

 

 

TBS: Very funny

[owbc]

I wonder who makes the decision to allow these horrible announcers to continue broadcasting. You think that these media companies would eventually realize that the overwhelming majority of baseball fans would prefer someone else to be announcing. Even casual fans must realize how bad these guys are. I definitely watch less of these games because I can't stand the announcing.

 

Another complaint is that the games take way, way too long. Every pitcher turns into Claudio Vargas in the postseason. I do not have 4 hours to watch a baseball game. There should be a limit to how often they can call time out in a particular at bat.

 

That being said, the games themselves have been great. It would be nice to see both series go to at least game 6.

[TooLiveBrew]

EDIT 2: Moved my post to the MLB forum; bumped the thread The Early Candidate for Worst Call of the Year. Felt my post fit there, and I'd like this discussion to be revived in a place where it will get more traffic.

[jason21nl]

I'll say it again, A ROD is out of his mind

[PKBadger]

Agreed, MNoD. BA would have been a much better choice.

You mean next season, right? Everything I see online says 2010 is his farewell season.

[logan82]

That right there folks is the absolute worst call I have ever seen.

[jason21nl]

WOW i have just seen the worst call in the history of the game

[trwi7]

These umpires are disgraceful. McClellan should be fired.
