The best thing about OctoberFollow

Good enough for me.

Nothing gives me more satisfaction than the Yankees loosing out! Shows that all the money in the world does
not make a great team.

I'm not a big Yankees fan but I wished they would have knocked off Detroit. The last thing we need is Detroit fans getting more cocky than they already are. I hope the Rangers put the hurt on them. As far as the NL. I think the Brewers won a lot of the regular season games against the Cards. I think the Brewers will win the NL. As for the World Series, not a clue who would win.

I agree about Detroit, but I'll take them over the Yankees. Plus, that means I get to watch Verlander pitch more games.

I seriously doubt they pull off three games in a row, even at home, against Milwaukee.

I say see you in Milwaukee. Carpenter was a beast last night, but I think the Brewer's are going to take it. Would like to see a Milwaukee/Detroit series. Also, rematch 1982.

That's NYY.

The other cities don't have multiple teams. Being associated with Yankees fans is deplorable.

My Red Sox sucked this year and I called it from the beginning of the season. Just good enough to tease us. I consider scrub teams to be anything other than the teams with the best records from each league. I feel the same way in any sport. Even with my Bruins winning last year, had it been a mediocre team against them, I'd have been less thrilled with them winning.

I know you want to see this as a Yankees, Red Sox, Phillies thing, but I'd feel the same way had Milwaukee been the team with the best record and knocked out in the first round. It has nothing to do with whether my team is in it or not. With the Red Sox out, I was interested in watching Philly, and I don't like them. I think baseball should go back to 2 divisions in each league, because now crappy teams make it in. And as a Red Sox fan, that probably means we almost never make the playoffs.

I just figured he'd never watched baseball before.

You must have missed my first post in this thread.

It is ok, most people don't.

Thread needs more Oktoberfest.

Halloween?

So how bout them brewers, eh? Teams that go up 2-1 in a best of 7 series historically go on to win the series 70% of the time. And we still have the next 2 games in St. Louis. Milkwaukee has to be feeling the pressure now...

Most humble apologies.

St Louis just needs to focus on the W now going into Milwaukee. If Brewers pick up the next, I can't see them losing both 6 and 7.

I didn't expect marathons from the starters with the way the Brewers hit. Honestly, I'm rather surprised we're still 2-2 after the performances we've seen, though. It sure would be nice for Garcia to pitch 7-9 innings of 0-1 run ball tonight.

What scares me most is the inconsistency of the STL offense. Some days we go out there and slug away, and then some days (like last night), we look absolutely placid.

Screw that. He'll throw a bull pen session before then and he can rest all he wants come November. Big guns need to step up now, with only weeks left to go.

Probably.

That's a great idea. He'll enjoy watching it from home if you try that.

I hope they don't start Carpenter and get their asses kicked over the next 2 games so you see how stupid of an idea you're proposing.

You should be starting Carpenter in game 6. Get this over with. What the @#%^ happened to 3 man rotations? Why not put your best pitcher in there when it counts instead of using scrubs.

1/5? Is Carpenter a @#%^? 1/4/7. Of course, if you pitched him in game 6, you could get 2/5 and if any game gets rained out, toss in another game.
