Go Twins!
Wonderboy, what is the secret of your power? Wonderboy, won't you take me far away from the mucky-muck now. -- Tenacious D
Does either team have snowball's chance of beating the Yankees
in a 5 game series?
It's baseball. You don't always get what you want, and you don't always want what you get. --Ed Coffin
they have a better chance in a 5 game series
than in a 7 game series. The twins have been on fire at the end of the season, and have already been playing for their lives. I don’t think the Yankees want to face the Twins at this point. I don’t think the Tigers have a shot, but they still get a couple starts from Verlander and 1 from Jackson. Those aren’t a couple of scrubs.
A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Agree and Disagree
I would agree with your 5 game series assessment. I consider this to be true nearly all the time.
As far as momentum, I don’t feel like it will be strong enough to carry them through a series with the best team in Major League Baseball. Yankees have a real strength in being able to pitch Sabathia and Burnett twice, both exceptional pitchers who have playoff experience. This does not bode well for a line-up that would be unquestionably the most suspect of the 8 playoff teams. The Twins are very weak in the back half of the line-up. Of course, the Yankees offense has also been playing VERY well and will most likely half a field day against Blackburn, Duensing, Pavano or anyone else the Twins might throw other than Scott Baker.
I personally think the Yanks would much rather face the Twins than the Tigers. Verlander and Porcello have both been pitching well and provide much better match-ups against their top 2.
What is the Twins record against Sabathia over the last several years?
I would think they have a fair amount of familiarity with him from his days with the Indians, and as such, might have a hit him better than other teams…
While...
I don’t typically buy into the “this team has this pitcher’s number” concept. I don’t think how Sabathia faired against the Tony Batista and Rondell White and Ruben Sierra led Twins of 2006/2007. Every year and start is different. Either way, here is what you requested.
Sabathia v. Twins
28 Starts. 13-8 3.05 ERA, 2.31 K/BB Ratio, 191 2/3 innings
In ‘09. 1 Start. 1-0, 7 Innings, 3 Hits, 1 Run, 3 K’s, 1 Walk.
Either way, the familiarity doesn’t seem to be in the Twins favor.
I think he was out after TJ surgery
that year (2003.) My point is that the Yanks starters outside of Sabathia are not that strong. Obviously the offense is great but pitching wins in the playoffs and the Yanks are vulnerable.
Their pitching is pretty darn good.
Sabathia is a very strong anchor. Both Burnett and Pettitte are above league average pitchers (ERA+ of 110 and 107 respectively). I would argue that top 3 is better than either of the Tigers/Twins, Angels, Red Sox, Dodgers, and Rockies I’ll give the Cardinals and Phillies the nod over the Yankees.
The correlation between your answer
and user name is directly proportional, and perfect.
It's baseball. You don't always get what you want, and you don't always want what you get. --Ed Coffin
Both would be longshots but
I like Detroit’s chances much better with two Verlander starts.

Go Twins!
Be fodder for hte Yankees… again. :(
Elvis Andrus - 2009 AL Rookie of the Year
Mitch Moreland -Tom Grieve Rangers Minor League Player of the Year
Martin Perez - Nolan Ryan Rangers Minor League Pitcher of the Year
This game reminds me of Mariners/Angels in '95.
One would think the Tigers have no chance.
Does Leyland survive if the Tigers go down?
"Dying ain't hard. It's living that's hard."
"Ranger players, especially veterans, weren’t surprised that Daniels couldn’t find a deal"
+0.26!
"Back on the scene, with a gangsta lean" RW
"When you have a weapon on your shoulder like he has, you can be cool." RW on Perez
And the little bastard threw it for a swinging strike three in a 3-2 count. He’s blessed. And ballsy.
I like the bit at the end
where he got in a fight with someone where he called the guy fat/out of shape?
Glad he got it together with the tigers, but oh.. i remember 2007.
the preceding post was a great success.
Bah
This game will be mostly over by the time I get home.
Still, go Twins!

AFL Surprise Rafters roster is out
8 Rangers listed – including Matt Harrison
http://mlb.mlb.com/milb/stats/stats.jsp?sid=l119&t=t_ros&cid=527
For those who don't wanna follow the link...
Lemon, Moreland, Doug Hogan, Garr, Gutierrez, Harrison, Reed, Scheppers
I saw someone mention Scheppers is dealing with some hamstring issue. Hope that clears up; I wanna see him dominate AFL.

I think EG mentioned it

I like Moreland and hope he does well. What is Lemon going to be for our team-an Esteban German type with less speed?

Might as well get them out of the way...it's the Miguel Cabrera joke thread!
Some season for Cabrera…leads the team in RBI, OPS, and BAC!
Have you guys heard about the Cabrera to Texas trade talks?
Miguel would like to come to Arlington, but has made it clear that he isn’t interested in showing up for games against right-handed pitching. He heard that against lefties, Washington keeps Borbon in the dugout!
Nope
The Angels will though. I got Angels-Cards. What you guys got?
The 2009 Texas Rangers offense: sigh...
I like Cards/Yankees
That will be an exceptional World Series. The pitching will be pretty strong. I like the Cards chances of winning the WS this year. Much > 2006
2006 was a miracle
The VERY fortunate injury to Isringhausen in September, Injuries to the Mets, the Tigers getting 7 days off before the Series, all of the errors by DET pitchers, etc.
But I loved it.
Helped soothe the painful memories of 1985, 1987, 1996, 2004, and 2005. All postseason losses hurt, but those 5 years in particular were excruciating.
one of them....
Suppan, Yadi, and Wainwright will always have a special place in my heart for what they did in Game 7 of the 2006 NLCS.
by Hard8 on Oct 6, 2009 6:43 PM CDT via mobile up reply actions
I predict.....
Phillies over STL in NLCS
Yankees over Boston in ALCS
Yankees over Phillies in World Series
But, hope I’m wrong…………….GO CARDINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have the Rockies winning it all
08/03/2009 A day that will live in infamy for the rest of the AL West.
Rocks are the.....
……..only NL team that played well down the stretch. I was hoping the Redbirds would avoid them in the Division Series. So, we got that goin’ for us, which is nice.
I like Twins/Rockies
but I generally favor underdogs.
+1
And I have the Cards winning in 7.
I have playoffs as followed.
Angels beat Sox in 5
Yankees sweep winner of Tigers/Twins (I have the Twins winning today)
Cards beat Dodgers in 4
Rockies beat Phillies in 5
Angels beat Yankees in 7
Cards beat Rockies in 4
Cards beat Halos in 6.
I pray to Baseball Jesus you are correct
The Phillies and the Rockies bitch slapped the Redbirds in 2009, though. Unfortunately, Carp and Wainwright can’t pitch every day.
Twins take Yanks in 4
Angels take Sox in 5
Phillies take Rockies in 4
Cards take Dodgers in 3
Angels take Twins in 5
Phillies take Cards in 6
Angels take Phillies in 7
i forgot the others
cards over la in 5
yanks over twins in 3 and over tigers in 4
halos over sox in 5
phils over rox in 4
stl > phi in 7
la > ny in 6
Well the AL leaders in homeruns had 39
That seems like a down year for me and I have to wonder if all the drug testing has had an influence on that.
Well Pena would have most likely surpassed 40
if he hadn’t of gotten hurt. 39 seems to be around Teix’s peak.
i also dislike how
both teams have a worse record than the rangers and one of them is in the playoffs
True
Although the records would most certainly be different if the divisions were switched around. I feel like this might actually work to their advantage anyways. The Indians and Royals were not very good this year.
Heh I'm never going to use this to actually watch a game
But mlb.tv 4 way splitscreen + the 8 camera options mlb.tv has for playoff games…
I’ve got the tv camera, both dugouts and the 3b line view going. They don’t even turn them off during commercials.
the preceding post was a great success.
Well this is getting out of hand
also, the fact that probably both Laird and Padilla will both go to the playoffs pisses me off.
yup
showed Det starters ERA’s and said Porcello was the best on the staff.
many of the ballots probably got sent in before the game
Also, the Twins could have a big inning here and Porcello’s numbers suddenly look not as good…
Just got in
Goooooo Twins!

A baseball game is simply a nervous breakdown divided into nine innings.
Think I'll pull for Detroit
Minnesota fans are getting a new stadium and still have the Vikings to root for
mostly snarky.
Like the whole against the war means you hate the troops kinda thing.
This is how I break it down:
Won’t root for the Yankees
Won’t root for the Sox
Won’t root for the Angels
Won’t root for the Tigers
Would root for the Twins, but ehh.. still boring.
Won’t root for the Dodgers
Won’t root for the Cardinals
Won’t root for the Phillies
The Rockies already disappointed me in 2007.
Yanks/Dodgers is an intriguing World Series.. but after that, blaaaahh.
I honestly wouldn't mind seeing Padilla pegging Tex in the WS
with Tex charging the mound and getting thrown out of the game. And maybe suspended for 1 or 2 more games during the Series.
Aside from that,
I’m rooting for the Rockies and Twins.
If the Twins dropout, I guess I would root for the Angels, because they’re the ones that are in our playoff spot. If we couldn’t get it, I’d like to see the team that knocked us out make it all the way.
In a few years, the Rangers, A's, Orioles, Pirates (and hopefully Royals) should all be legitimate playoff teams
I wonder if MLB would allow such shitty satellites to overtake this tasteless, annual stew of Red Sox, Yankees, Angels and Phillies

it really depresses me that you would
lump in the Rangers with the Orioles, Pirates, and Royals. That somehow diminishes my opinion of the Rangers future playoff chances.

I just realized something
There’s a Cabrera on both teams, and both hit a 2 run homer.
For some reason, the first person I think of when hearing that name is (spare) Francisco Cabrera, who knocked in the winning run for the Braves against the Pirates in the 9th inning of the 1992 NLCS.
I’m not watching on TV, just following along on the internet.

Gomez.....
….went in for Kubel as a defensive replacement in the top of the 8th, just before Magglio hit the HR.
I hated the bunt in bottom of 9th. That basically guaranteed that Mauer was not going to get to swing the bat. The 9-hole hitter gets on, let your 1-2-3 hitters swing away.

It was showing at The Office on the listing. The trip I got back from was seeing the Rangers play in Seattle – nice trip, lots of fun. Stayed at the Ranger hotel and got to talk to lots of the guys. Also won on of the Mariners “Fan Appreciation” drawings for a grand prize – they didn’t like having someone in a Ranger cap show up for the digital movie camera.

By the letter of the rule, it's also irrelevant.
As the catcher tried to block the plate and make the tag without the ball in his glove.
Of course, he didn’t know it wasn’t in his glove, but by the letter of the rule, Holliday should be awarded the next base. I feel like this point was unfairly ignored. It’s ticky tack but it deserves at least being mentioned.
Though I'm pretty sure Holliday would have still had to touch it.
I remember that was a fun controversy at the time and since then it’s become a tiring meme.
No doubt.
