10/03/2007 (Wed.) Division Series Games: Rockies at Phillies, Angels at Red Sox, Cubs at Diamondbacks

[1992casey]

• Rockies (Francis) at Phillies (Hamels), 2:00 PM CDT, TBS
• Angels (Lackey) at Red Sox (Beckett), 5:30 PM CDT, TBS
• Cubs (Zambrano) at Diamondbacks (Webb), 9:00 PM CDT, TBS

Give me Hamels over whoever the Rockies are throwing in the early game, Lackey and Co. to upset the Sox in Fenway, and Big Z to dominate the DBacks lineup.

[patrickgpe]

that z vs webb matchup looks very entertaining.

[TooLiveBrew]

Those are three stellar pitching matchups. Good gravy I can't wait for tomorrow night!

It'll be fun to watch Doug Davis go in game 2 against the Cubs. I'll take all three home teams today.

Ohhhhh, you don't have to tell me that. http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/smile.gif I'll be wearing my Davis Brewers jersey and root root rooting for the Sharpie (and the home team).

 

I'm not sure how late I'll have to stay up. On one hand, Doug's been out of his starts by the 5th or 6th innings a lot this season. On the other hand, it's the postseason, which is bound to feature more commercials and delays; and Doug can make 5-6 innings take a while regardless of ad time.

[Glennron]

Hamels is starting to get hit pretty hard in the 2nd inning, it's already 2-0 Rocks and there's only 1 out. Also does anyone know who these extremely exciting announcers are for TBS?

[RoseBowlMtg]

I don't like much about Philly especially the Eagles and 76's so I am with the fun story of Colorado and to say Francis isn't much of a pitcher you must be unaware of him which is easy since no one pays attention to them.

Holy ravioli, Wes Helms is starting a playoff game

[Team Canada]

Does anyone else think Helton's face just doesn't fit with the huge goatee he has?

Perhaps his beard is the source of his great power?

Gutty performance by Cole Hamels today after things looked to be getting away from him in the 2nd inning.

[Brian the Automator]

The computer generated overlay dealie they have on the basepath that shows how much of a leadoff a guy has is pretty cool.

[BrewCrewForever]

Im rooting for the Rockies all the way. They remind me a lot of our team, young talented with a few vets.

[burniebrewer]

Man Beckett was just filthy tonight.

[bucks2281]

The TBS production of these playoff games is top-notch. IMO, way better than anything ESPN and/or FOX would throw at us.

 

I'm really envisioning a Colorado-CHC NLCS right now -- I hope I'm right. That could be a lot of fun.

[kgbaseball]

It's stupid that they have David Aldridge and Craig Sager as the on-field people. Stick to basketball.

 

I'm not a fan of the TBS in game break or any of the TV announcers they've had yet.

Wait, you're hoping the Cubs win a series? Blaspheme!

Anywho, I hope Arizona wins this series and the Rockies win their's, because that would be fun to watch all those young ballplayers go at it.

[Mike Felder]

Beckett was awesome tonight, and I agree that TBS is doing a nice job with these games, although their on-field reporter for the Boston-LA series is kind of hard to understand.

[owbc]

A Colorado-Cubs NLCS would be just like 2003--the "who are these guys" Marlins/Rockies vs. the Cubs.

 

A Rockies/D'backs NLCS would be a ratings disaster. The Diamondbacks have no fans (expect Wrigley South tonight with empty seats) and the Rockies have a small fan base. I really hope the Rockies make it to the World Series.

[And That]

A Rockies/D'backs NLCS would be a ratings disaster.

That's probably true, but I'd watch it. And it may help baseball in the long run. It's not like the Cubs are going to sell a million more seats because of this, but Arizona and Colorado were 19th and 20th in season attendance this year. It's not like I want those clubs to be able to outspend the Brewers later on, but it's good for the overall scheme of things. I'd love to see an Arizona/L.A. series.

I think that the great production so far by TBS isn't that surprising because Inside the NBA is also a high quality program. I think the common factor in this Ernie Johnson, who was actually born in Milwaukee (thank you Wikipedia). That guy is nothing but professionalism and class in my opinion.

Maximum heartbreak for Cubs fans makes my life more enjoyable. If there's another Bartman-like incident in the playoffs, I'll be so happy. Does that make me a bad person (lol)?

 

Looks like the Cubs fans have invaded Arizona. How irritating for those poor AZ fans.

[iluvlamp]

WHO THE HECK IS THIS UMP...sorry. Z is getting silly strikes.

Does this happen everywhere? only to a greater degree in Milwaukee due to proximity?

[davemakovec]

I just popped onto Gameday to see that Z had led off with a double. Then Brandon Webb punches out the top of the order, in order. Man, that guy is good. Hopefully he keeps it up tonight.

 

What are the chances we see Micah Owings pinch hit? If he does, what are the chances he goes yard? http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif
