Baseball Playoffs

I would just counter slot dirt is that it's post season baseball. It's completely unpredictable. AJ Burnett saves the Yankee season (yes with help from Granderson) and Ben Francisco saves the Philly season (who would have predicted that he perhaps gets the hit of the series for Philly). Anyone that thinks they have any idea how Thursday's game will go is lying. It could be the one game out of 30 where Austin Jackson gets 4 hits or the game where Posada hits a grand slam.

Austin Jackson actually hasn't been horrid except for game one. Has looked like an honest to goodness leadoff guy.

Terry Francona to be in the booth with Joe Buck for games 1 and 2 of the ALCS. Tim McCarver having a heart procedure and will not be available.

Could be interesting, could be a train wreck.

Even though its crazy, lets see if the comeback kids can win three in a row. Go Dbacks.

Not at all happy with the Crew's performance last 2 days. They were throwing batting practice pitches.

D-back fans are pretty weak though, didn't even sell out the stadium and gave away a black hanes t-shirt, really?

I still have a good shot to go 0 for 4 in my first round picks!!

Major League baseball franchises in Florida and Arizona was one of the worst ideas ever. There already were franchises there, it's called spring training.
