Wanne Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 QUOTE (Princess Dye @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 05:47 PM) the quote i heard on the radio was prefaced w/ "if the playoffs started tomorrow..." They should be startin' tomorrow. MLB season is too goddamn long IMO. Should be 140 games or 150 at the most...that's plenty. It's ridiculous when the last game of the WS is in the first week of November like last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caulfield12 Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 (edited) QUOTE (fathom @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 05:50 PM) I remember leaving work to go watch the clincher at Outback Steakhouse. Crede botched a routine grounder, and you're right, Polanco's liner sure looked like a double. I was watching it on DirecTV from Colombia, South America, lol. I remember ordering the Freddy Garcia "clinching" shirt with black piping and grey that very instant. I almost ordered a Jose Contreras jersey!!! It looks like the 162 day season and being on the road so much has finally caught up with those inexperienced, 25 year-old Twins' pitchers.

WilliamTell Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 QUOTE (Tony82087 @ Sep 18, 2008 -> 05:54 PM) What are you talking about? Once Week 1 of the NFL starts, baseball ends anyway.

fathom Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 Here's my question, and trust me, I'm not a BA lover: Hawk was saying how Walker told him two weeks ago that Brian Anderson has found his swing, and he's going to do a lot of damage at the plate. Why aren't we looking for ways to get him in the lineup? As much as I'm aware that Ozzie has a personal issue with him, it still seems like he needs to be playing more than once a week.

The same way Greg Maddux won so many games in his 30's, although Maddux never threw 94-96 in his prime like Mr. New York Times Crossword Intellectual.

joejoesox Posted September 18, 2008 Share Posted September 18, 2008 IMO, you pull Javy if the yankees score again, and let Carrasco pitch into the 5th or 6th, and take your chances with what's left in our pen I don't want Javy ending the year playoffs or not, on arm fatigue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never been a fan of his bat at all, but if nothing else, he's earned the right to play more. He's been coming up with some nice hits of late.

That was a really silly stretch on their part to think that move would work. Limbaugh would have been better for baseball...almost like having Ebert doing mnf.
