The best thing about OctoberFollow

#1 Oct 07 2011 at 9:56 PM Rating: Good
...is the MLB post-season. The best thing about THIS October... that none of the east coast teams will be heading to the world series. Chris Carpenter just pitched one of the best playoff games in baseball history to send the Phillies home with their tails between their legs. Brewers / Cards in the NLCS, Detroit / Texas in the ALCS. I'm thinking Cardinals / Rangers in the series, Cardinals on top 4-2 to take the crown.

What say you?

I hate it when scrub teams make it to the World Series. Baseball season is over.

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

Sure, if you're a fan of East coast SPorts Network.

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.

Brewers are set up better than the Cards for this series, with respect to starting pitching. Brewers in 6.

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

So were the Phillies. The Brewers have been awesome at home, but I think if the Cards can take 1 of the first 2, we can win the rest at home in games 3/4/5.

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

The playoffs are a crapshoot. That said, the Brewers, Rangers, and Tigers are all better than the Cardinals.

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.

I think this sentiment is hilarious. Milwaukee last night played in the most exciting game I've ever seen. The atmosphere at Miller Part is electric. I'm ridiculously happy that NY, Boston, and Philly are out. Their fans tend to be the biggest douchebags around too. You welcome to stop watching until your overpaid, ****** when it counts players start again next year. The rest of us are looking forward to some of the most exciting baseball we've seen to date in October.

If anything, it would be NYC since I named the cities. NY is not a special snowflake and does not deserve that distinction.

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.

You must have missed the complete game shutout 1-0 win by Carpenter the Cardinals against "the best pitcher in the NL".

since my jays didn't make it, and the Yankees are out, I don't care anymore. 4 more months of foot ball, and hockey just started I'm moving on.
