Balta1701 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 Bob Wickman re-upped for another year with the Bravos. Huge for Atlanta...their bullpen was by far their biggest hole this year, and Wickman provided some stability. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Chris Young has a no-no going through 8. I believe this is the second time this year he's accomplished such a feat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supernuke Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 The NL will only have one 90 win team this year. Even with the AL domination of inter league play that just seems odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

witesoxfan Posted September 26, 2006 Share Posted September 26, 2006 wasn't sure where to put this, so here works For the first time in the history of the American League, the Wild Card team came out of the Central division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 That worked out well. Dontrelle really, really wanted to throw the last game. Even though they're playing for nothing. Really, really, really, really, really, REALLY. He leaves after 1 1/3 with a sore arm. Well, I mean, c'mon, who could've seen that coming? Girardi must have figured, What the hell do I have to lose here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackie hayes Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Devern Hansack gets the BoSox a win over the O's in a rain-shortened 5-inning game. No hits, one walk. Does this qualify as the second no-hitter this year or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. They made a rule change back in 1991 (?) saying the game had to go at least 9 innings for it to be considered a no-no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WilliamTell Posted October 6, 2006 Share Posted October 6, 2006 In the playoffs since 1903 or something, I don't remember the year but the team that scores first in the playoffs are 766-380 or a 66.8% winning percentage. That's pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjm676 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 Let's see the A's won.... D'Angelo Jimenez, Frank Thomas & Esteban Loaiza If the Tigers win.... Magglio Ordonez And if the Mets win... Jose Valentin and, of course, the bench coach, Jerry Manuel Will all be in the LCS and they were all members of the 2003 White Sox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gene Honda Civic Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Watching FOX News... Following the baseball game... Interviewing people (read: Idiots) on the streets as to who they think the Cubs should hire for their new manager: "Ryne Sandburg... He's great. He played for the Cubs. He was our first baseman. And he was AWESOME!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 Last night during the ALCS Game, in about the middle of the game: The 3 in the booth are talking about Jim Leyland and how important a manager can be to winning. How he set a winning attitude, etc. Brennaman tosses out something to the effect of "I can think of a manager who won a world series with the Cincinnati Reds who was pretty good as well" Lou Pinella: "Yeah, we were pretty good. I like winning" Steve Lyons immediately tosses out: "Then why did you take that Tampa Bay job!?" A few seconds of really, really awkward silence follows, before Thom tries to cover for Pinella by saying the management promised to build more and so on.

Lou Piniella looked amazingly pissed off for a couple innings last night, especially when they were talking to him about the Yankees job. I know a lot of people want to know about Lou and the Yankees, but they know he couldn't say anything if it was true, so why on earth would they ask? I'm just happy Lou was great with a comeback, talking about how good of a guy Torre is and all that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rowand44 Posted October 11, 2006 Share Posted October 11, 2006 So yesterday on Mike and Mike and BBTN, Steve Phillips basically said that this years Tigers team has a tougher road through the playoffs than last years Sox just cause we didn't have to play the Yankees: "But the White Sox didn't have to play the Yankees."

JMO though. All 4 would have without a doubt in my mind. The Angels pretty much lost the ALCS in game 2; otherwise I think that's a 6-7 game series for sure. If Vlad had been hot that series, the Angels could have easily won it too. And their pitching all around is better than either of the teams in the ALCS, and I truly believe that. And both the Stros and Cards were amazingly solid last year. The Cards all around were a better team last year than the Mets, and the Stros pitching would have made either the Cards or Mets look like AAA hitters.

Brian Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 (edited) I think it should of been a blessing for the Cardinals game to get rained out today. No way I start Weaver tomorrow. Skip him for Suppan and than Carpenter in Game 2. But LaRussa is sticking to his guns and throwing Weaver in Game 1. What a joke. Of course if Weaver throws 6 shut out innings and St. Louis wins game 1, I'll delete my post. Edited October 12, 2006 by Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason Carpenter is on tap for game 3...if the series gets to game 7, look who comes out to start. Also, there's a non-trivial chance that the Cards will be down 0-2 while going back to St. Louis no matter who pitches (the Mets are at home), so game 3 could very well decide whether they even have a chance in the series.

Yeah, and after reading and doing a little reserach like I should have done before my post, Weaver is much better on the road so he would have to pitch game 1 or 2.
