MLB playoffs start now!

[toys2cool]

Better than your sorry arse Marlins, lol.

Marlins? yea but my other team is good, the Yankees

[Hector]

I have another team too, the Giants...

[toys2cool]

I use to be an A's fan as a kid when there was no Marlins...I was the biggest Canseco and McGwire fan..The bash brothers that must've been fun to watch at the time

[Hector]

Yeah, I saw the Bash Brothers demolish the Giants in the Bay Area Series, my sister used to work for radio station KSFO, and she could hook me up with A's tickets (great seats too), and many other events, but did not go to Candlestick, for KSFO was the A's station, not the Giants, I was glad for that anyway, as the big earthquake hit, man, glad I was home watching the game, lol.

Holysmokes, the Nationals' fans are stunned right now.

What a series against Baltimore. I feel bad for Buck. One day he'll get his due but not this year and not against the Yankees. The Yanks were in a tight spot, if they beat the O's they did what they were supposed to do, if they lost to them it's "how could they lose to them.." I don't think I was able to breath the entire top of the 8th. As for A-Rod...as a Yankee fan I root for the uniform and anyone wearing it. If A-Rod plays, I want him to do well, if he sits, I want him to be supportive. He is a diminished player but he's still a Yankee and as long as he is, I'm gonna root for him. That's not to say I have as much confidence in him as Jeter but for the most part, regardless of who they are once they put on the pinstripes they're my guy on my team. Also there's what he did in '09 which was pretty much get them to the World Series single handedly and there should be something said for his poise during his demotion. He hasn't ranted and raved and while he may be dying on the inside he has said all the right things and that should be commended. Personally, I cannot stand Andy Pettitte. How does he get away with doing 'roids, leave (abandons) his team for three years and then pulls a Farve and unretires and some how Yankee fans love him. I hate the guy but every time he takes the ball, I root for him to pitch his heart out.

Also the Nats...is that not the worst possible way to lose a game and a series. Again the Cards were one strike away TWICE from being finished off and they found a way to come back and win. That check swing on Freese with two strikes was HUGE! What a sad turn of events in Washington. They were right there and it slipped through their fingers. Terrible day all around for the Maryland/DC area and a not so great NLCS match-up now. For all the talk about new teams in the play-offs, three of the four last World Series winners are playing in LCS now (the Tigers were there and lost in '06 too) and so much for home field advantage, the Yankees were the only home team that won their series! Awesome DLS all around though.

Nationals Choked couldn't close the deal.....Cards Owned them......

Orioles were as tough as nails and will be a pain in the azz in the next coming Years.....

[kingdom warrior]

I root for A-Rod not to strikeout......BUT he does so I hate Him....lol! He had his one Great year in the Playoffs and that's because he was giddy that he was tapping Kate Hudson....lol

[drquest]

Nationals Choked couldn't close the deal.....Cards Owned them......

Wow... I didn't see that 9th inning coming based on how the rest of the game went....

[kingdom warrior]

I sat there shocked they had them down to their last strike twice.......I thought I was watching the 86 Mets in game 6 of the WS

[spiderman67]

I'm a tigers fan,but the A's did have a phenominal year.If the tigers would have lost.I would have pulled for the A's in ALCS.

[Spawn67]

Although Im a little bummed that the Orioles lost. Im very proud of them for great season. The team is still young and will prove to be a powerhouse in the coming years. They played like a team til the very end.

ALCS starts tonight! The Yankee bats are due to get going again and if they can keep up the stellar pitching performances from their starters, I like their chances so Im going with the Yankees in 6.

NLCS tomorrow night the Cards who won't go away vs. the "almost lost to the Reds" Giants. This series could go either way but I'm gonna go with the Cardinals in 5 on this one just based of their resiliency. I know the Giants pulled off a miracle coming back 0-3 but thats exactly what it was a miracle and at this point they're lucky to be there. As cool as a Yankess Giants WS would be, I'm thinking it'll be Yankees/Cards at this point.

[Hector]

I think it's the Giants' destiny...my prediction is that they will win the battle of the two last WS champions.

I'm also rooting for the Tigers, I'm just sick and tired of the Yankees...lol.

[jwyblejr]

Looks like the Tigers odds just got better. I'm surprised no one brought up Jeter's ankle last night.
