***MLB Postseason Thread***

Me. I became a Tigers fan last summer when I moved to the Detroit suburbs.

And I want the Cardinals to win for one reason - assuming the Tigers get past the Yankees, I don't really want a Giants-Tigers series for the fact that the Tigers-A's series jacked up my sleep schedule last week. A Cardinals-Tigers series would allow me to keep my regular sleep schedule.
WS Games will start at the same time no matter what because of TV. They will to be a late start if it is west coast.
 
no matter if the Yankees do come back in the series, they definitely need to get younger. The hitting in the postseason is downright embarrassing.
 
Steinbrenner better have a plan together for the offseason...Swisher and Martin are FA thankfully...get Pierzynski and either Upton or Melky (yeah, I know...still better then Swisher).
 
Swisher isn't a bad player during the regular season, he's just awful during the postseason. I honestly could go for signing Ichiro for another year. Gardner, Granderson, and Ichiro would be a very nice defensive outfield. Swisher is nuts if he thinks he's getting Werth money.

I'd love to see Kevin Long let go but it won't happen. He hasn't made any better hitters...just better power hitters and that doesn't work for **** in October.
 
Not the result I wanted, but was a result that does not surprise me, considering Bumgarner's struggles in the second half of the season. It takes a while to get to four wins in a seven game series, so there's plenty of time. I will be more concerned if the Giants drop another home game today. The last thing I want to happen is to have them go on the road (again) down 0-2. Hopefully Vogey does better tonight.

From the comments page of the game article from the San Francisco Chronicle: "A crappy SF sports Sunday, especially with back to back Joe Buck telecasts." True that.


 
Good win for STL, sets up an important opportunity to seize control but I'll feel better watching this one knowing that the Cards can't fall behind in the series.

Worse case (SF win) is that the series essentially turns into a best-of-5 with 3 in St. Louis. Best case (STL win) is Cards only need to take 2 out of 3 at home to win this thing.
 
Ellen how have you not bumped this yet? And Scuttaro is crying like a baby over a hard slide, go Birds!
 
That "hard" slide easily could have broken his leg. It's not the first time Holliday has slid in like that though. I wouldn't call it a dirty slide but it shouldn't be legal. He started his slide once he got to the base, way too late. Even Joe Buck said so, and he's a huge Cardinals homer.
