[QUOTE="PSP107"]lol, it was 6-3 when I step outside for a few hours come back 5 mins as of this writing its 9-7 Cards. lol, once again MLB( and NFL) prove The best team during the regular season do not win/or compete for the championship. And people say the NBA regular season doesnt matter. Add the NHL to that. 2 of the best teams last year was out in round 1, and the Cup winner was the 8th seed who got in on the last or 2nd last day. But there's just something about baseball...everything can change at any moment. And these playoffs sure have shown that.

Yeah the MLB playoffs are always a complete crapshoot.

Im not a NHL expert but I dont think lower seed wins all the time. 2011 Boston Bruins and 2010 local Chicago Blackawks had good regular seasons.

Im not a NHL expert but I dont think lower seed wins all the time. 2011 Boston Bruins and 2010 local Chicago Blackawks had good regular seasons. They were pretty good. But Chicago beat a Philly team who got in on the last day of the season as an 8 seed, and Boston..well, those were the 2 best teams. It doesn't happen all the time, but there tend to be a lot more upsets and lower seeds in the finals than other sports.
lol Pete Kozma replaces Pujols, freakin sick! I have no doubt they will crush the Gnats unlike the Red chokers or Natitude pretenders. You just had the vibe from that stadium that they were getting nervous and didn't think they could really win.

I believe pitching is the most important factor in October. Verlander and CC cancel each other, Scherzer and Kuroda cancel each other, Fister and Pettite cancel each other, and Sanchez and Hughes are equally shaky. Detroit's bullpen has been shaky so far in the playoffs while the Yanks bullpen has been solid. For the talk about the Tigers offense they are top heavy with Cabrera and Fielder but not much depth. The Yanks lineup is deeper and can get out of funk because they have patience and see many pitches. The Yanks defense is better with the 3rd fewest errors in the AL, 15 less than Detroit. These team are pretty even, hence why I think it will go 7. Feel free to refute.
Can't believe i'm saying this but man i'm actually kinda rooting for the Yankees now if Leyland keeps being stupid and running Vale Verga out there.X360PS3AMD05
Jeter fractures his ankle and is done for the remainder of the playoffs. I had the Tigers as favorites to win this series before that injury, but now it should probably be over in five games.

It's always sad when such a legendary player goes down.

It's always sad when such a legendary player goes down. Just moments ago On TBS just, they were debating should Arod move to ShortStop(SS). Been a long time.

TBS should stay doing the postseason. i dont hate joe buck and tim mcgarver but joe should stick with football. and the tbs broadcast has been good. orginally i thought ernie johnson should stick with basketball but he improved from last year.

Yeah, Ernie has been better and that combo of Smoltz/Ripken should return.
It's funny how they show the graphic with nobody else really performing and Cano doing worse than A-Rod but somehow he gets most of the hate? Guess what you knew when you signed him that you'd be lucky to have half of those years be productive and that's pretty much what happened so why are they crying now? A players prime ends at age 32, A-Rod was decent to 37 what more do you want? Carp on the hill in Game 2, that's 2-0 Red Birds going to STL. motte's beard > wilson/romo
[QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05"] A players prime ends at age 32, A-Rod was decent to 37 what more do you want? They thought he was going to pull a Clemens/Bonds and be elite close to his 40's. He is done.

I find it funny that the 2 people you used for comparison both used steroids.

A-Rod just happened to signed his contract just before his own use was uncovered.
[QUOTE="X360PS3AMD05 A players prime ends at age 32, not sure I agree with that. But are you saying that from a whole baseball standpoint meaning pitchers,hitters will reach their prime at 32. or you talking about all sports?
