2012 World Series thread

Black/Orange from the NL, Navy/Orange from the AL.

Ex-Brewers: Guillermo Mota vs. Prince Fielder.

(Decide for yourself whether to include Marco Scutaro, since he was in the Brewers' organization but not on the MLB roster)

 

Most importantly for some if not many of us, no Cardinals.

[TURBO]

GO Prince and the Tigers!

 

Gotta root for the big guy, even though a small part of me doesn't like the fact that the year he left he is in the world series...

[owbc]

Was watching the Tigers game last week--Prince Fielder was up to bat. I say to my wife--hey, look who's up to bat, do you remember him? She looks shocked and says--hey, that's not right, Prince Fielder is on the Brewers! When did they trade him?

 

Facepalm.

[trwi7]

You should have played along and said they traded him in January and then made up some random names of fake players.

[RightFieldCoder]

Ishikawa and Bianchi. But we also had to send cash in the deal.

 

There may be some hidden blue in this post.

Taint McFadden. Should have been the last piece of the Brewers' puzzle but then there was that unfortunate freak accident.

[owbc]

She came along to that Marlins game in September and didn't notice that he was missing. It wasn't really big news when he left so I guess I never bothered to even mention it.

*Insert obvious fat joke followed by the monstrosity in the outfield distracting her.*

Nori is in the booth?

Nori is in the booth?

For the Japanese broadcast team, yes, apparently. Nice.

 

Also, good lord, the Panda tonight.

Loving this. Detroit is one of my least favorite teams and I love seeing an 'ace' lose in a big game situation since it shuts the mouths of all those people who think that an 'ace' means a perfect pitcher which just doesn't exist. Same way I like to see crappy QBs win super bowls.

Would you love to see our ace lose in a big game suituation?

 

So if, say, Aaron Rodgers played in the super bowl vs a crappy QB, you'd be rooting for the crappy QB because he was crappy?

[Ennder]

I would cheer on the team I actually like if there was a team I liked in the playoffs. Given that two bad choices made it I have to find something to cheer for. I would understand if our ace lost in a big game though because no matter how good a pitcher is they still have bad games, some people just don't seem to understand that.

[Invader3K]

No, you're wrong. Real aces find ways to win in big game situations. Justin Verlander clearly isn't a real ace.

 

 

 

 

(Yes, that should be in blue).

[owbc]

Everyone felt the same way about CC Sabathia in 2008 vs. the Phillies. We all know the result.

[TooLiveBrew]

Holy crap, I hope Fister winds up being ok. That was freakin' scary.

[sdcheezhd]

So Prince has been thrown out on the bases twice in 2 games, tonight at home with nobody out? That seems . . . second guessable.

[Spidey]

I was slightly worried about Posey when I saw Prince round 3rd. Nice tag.

[Ennder]

Yeah I could help but chuckle the other day when they said not only can Fielder hit but he is a good defensive 1B and is athletic so he is a good base runner. He is a passable defensive player but he is a pretty awful base runner.

Seems like human nature would have dictated that Posey was worried about Posey as he saw Prince round 3B.

 

And man. I know it's the World Series, but were I Doug Fister, I think I'd have really wanted to get my head checked after that scary looking play. That kind of injury can be trouble later.

[logan82]

If by passable you mean not really good and is only at 1B to keep his bat in the lineup, I agree.

[AZBrewCrew]

San Francisco has their foot on the pedal and dont appear to be letting up. Game 4 is Cain vs Scherzer. The last WS sweep was in 2007, Boston over Colorado.

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Anyone have an official time length on the Game 4 national anthem? Always can tell by the tempo of the first few bars how much embellishment and lengthening the anthem is going to get.

[TooLiveBrew]

Wow, so two in three seasons for the Giants. Wow.
