Baseball Playoffs

My 2 first round picks not looking so good at this point. We'll see. Some major pitching performances this post season. As we get years away from the steroid era it is amazing how much pitching has improved.

I love it. I would much rather watch a well pitched, fast paced, 1-0 game than a 9-8 slugfest with 6 pitching changes dragging it out to nearly 4 hours.

Even with the lengthened commercial time between innings, the Halladay game took 2:34 and the Lincecum game took 2:26.

Im not sure its def the era. These 5-7 really good pitchers, have been really good the past 3-4 years. They just all came together this post seasson.

The steroid era was generally mid 90's into mid 2000's based on the available runs, home runs, pitching stats. Thus in the further we get out of it, the better the pitching should come back. (not to mention humidors for CO as well)

Lee vs. Price part deux, coming up Tuesday night.

Lovely 5-hit CG shutout for Hollywood

Yet another post-season pitching gem…

Last game for Bobby Cox. As fine a manager as baseball has seen in the last forty years.

Complete nonsense. Has anyone done less with more in history? He was in the playoffs every year it seems and had an exit every year. 1 championship? Horrendous. Similar to the Mets underachievement during the 80's.

Bobby Cox = Marv Levy
