2011 non-Brewers LDS Thread

[owbc]

I figured we can start a topic to discuss the other LDS series.

 

Tampa vs. Texas

Detroit vs. New York

St. Louis vs. Philly

 

So far it is looking good for the Rays, up 6-0 in the 4th.

Cooper Stone threw out the first pitch for the Ranger game....Try not getting teary from that. Poor kid.

[pebadger]

Best play of the LDS so far made by a fan in Texas.

 

To steal a Shannon Sharpe line: Tell Gov Perry to call out the National Guard because the Rays are killing the Rangers!

[Schlitz001]

I just tuned in to the Tampa Bay @ Texas game to see Josh Hamilton bunting in the 6th inning down 8-0. I guess things aren't going well for the Rangers.

[pebadger]

Matt Moore has some of the easiest cheese I've ever seen. Buck talking about the same thing right now. Then there are other guys who look like they're just firing it in there, they get a nice 'pop' and still only hit 93 or so.

Easily the best part of my day was that two minute stretch. It's too bad the Rangers stumbled so badly in game 1 with Cooper and mom in attendance. I hope the Rangers are a part of his/her healing process over the next few years.

Nobody's clutch like Jeter. Strikes out and reaches because Avila couldn't block it. You can't teach that and you can't teach his good looks and charm.

Yankees can afford $200 million per year in player payroll, but the fans get to sit in the rain and tomorrow it will probably fall into the mid 50s.

I get a lot of joy in that. Of course I wouldn't mind sitting in the rain if my team was guaranteed to be in the playoffs almost every year.

Hey Yankees, take the weekend off and play the games in Miller Park on Tuesday and Wednesday.

 

Looks like some people misjudged the weather pretty badly.

[carniesandrubes]

Looks like the NY/Det game 2 is pushed to Sunday, 2 hours before the Brewers game (which now starts at 4). So both games will overlap for an hour or so.

[pebadger]

Cards jump out early.

[jeffy]

The heart says "yay" as the Phillies take the lead from the Cardinals, but the head says "no, the NLCS will be easier to win vs. the Cardinals".

[jjfanec]

Well St. Louis had to feel good until Kyle Lohse realized he was Kyle Lohse and not a Cy Young caliber pitcher.

[cnycerveceros]

The heart says "yay" as the Phillies take the lead from the Cardinals, but the head says "no, the NLCS will be easier to win vs. the Cardinals".

Yep. I don't want the Cards to win, even though I know they are more beatable. Just don't like them and can't pull for them, regardless.

[Invader3K]

I would rather have home field advantage versus the Cardinals, but I just do not think they are going to win against the Phillies. I do think the Brewers can beat either team in a 7 game series, but the Phillies will be tough, no doubt.

[Schlitz001]

I'm 100% rooting for the Cardinals. The Phillies are a much better team, imo.

[Oldcity]

So I know I should be rooting for STL because they aren't as good as Philly, but I am just enjoying Chris Carpenter labor through this first inning way too much.

[razzzorsharp]

Tied 4-4. Get a game going here Cards!

[pretendastronaut]

I missed it, but what I'm seeing on Twitter is that La Russa ripped into the umpires giving the Phillies a different strike zone during that typically friendly chat with the booth from the dugout. Anyone see it?

[Oldcity]

Well the Phillies won't win in a sweep at least. Brewers the only team up 2-0!

[razzzorsharp]

I hope that's the last game in Philly this year.

[adamb100]

Go cardinals (until the NLCS) . http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

[pebadger]

Cards are easily the most unlikable team in a post-season that includes the Yankees. Congratulations on your accomplishment.

[adamb100]

If it means we have a better chance of getting to the world series, then I'll root for whoever. :p
