Well, seeing it play out

a matchup of Price-Drew with the bases loaded is an awful lot of pressure for a rookie with barely any experience. I’d have to say Maddon loses the chess match here, though Price has a great arm and could certainly get Drew. I’d sooner have seen Howell face Youkilis and Drew and then bring in Bradford.

TB should win over 100 next year with Price in rotation

and some more experience

No fucking way Philly wins more than 1 game.

I personally hope the NL wins ZERO

May The Red Sox and all their fans get food poisoning and all collectively crap their pants

I guessing TB in Six

Philly did a lot to raise their confidence.

Runs Please. A lot of them. The rest of the season. Thank you.

That's a purdy trophy.

MVP Swooney?

My, my, my. I do dee-clare.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Oct 19, 2008 8:59 PM PDT up reply actions  

I don't care who the MVP is as long as we get there.

But as long as we’re picking, how about MaEl? Or Chavy. Oh, Chavy.

I cried after the win over the Twins in 06.

I don’t know how I would react after something like that. Faint, probably.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Oct 19, 2008 9:02 PM PDT up reply actions  

I'm pretty sure I would implode or something.

I wouldn’t know how to handle that much A’s-related elation.

by whiteshoes40 on Oct 19, 2008 9:04 PM PDT up reply actions  

I wanted to take a moment

to give Boston credit for battling back once again. They wore their crown well this year.

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY MVP BABY!!

by ilovegregsmith on Oct 19, 2008 8:59 PM PDT reply actions  

Why don't they have a pitchers award for the ALCS

Best pitcher, then MVP for best player. I think the players that played all 7 games deserve some recognition over a pitcher that pitches 2 games. 2 games very well at that, but still how can you overlook Longo and Upton’s performance in the series?

by thesteve9x on Oct 19, 2008 8:59 PM PDT reply actions  

LDS doesn't even have an MVP. These guys should consider themselves lucky.

True

I guess it’s the same reason I use for why I don’t think a pitcher should be MVP. Let alone a closer.

Random ass time to be asking about a dude’s playlist…

by schmifty on Oct 19, 2008 8:59 PM PDT reply actions  

I'm not watching...

were they asking Garza about his playlist?

I willl now admit

that half the times I saw Pedroia with his hat off, for a split-second I thought it was Harden.

Evan says everyone picked the Rays to finish last...

I picked them to finish 1st. Guess he didn’t see my picks.

Wrong song, Jennifer.

I kind of thought it was from a song.

But then people replied like it was actually a question, so I thought I was wrong. I was confuzzled.

I'm so glad I get to watch ESPN

I was avoiding it the last two days because I didn’t want to hear all the crap about how Boston would win again, but I wanted to see the Cowboys get their butts kicked!

You should get fired and apply for unemployment.

That’s what I did.

But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.

by Jennifer on Oct 19, 2008 9:40 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, I know I would win the unemployment claim, too

I handle all the claims at my work – no matter what, pretty much everyone wins.

by schmifty on Oct 19, 2008 9:42 PM PDT up reply actions  

You have to pretty much set the place on fire to lose

an unemployment claim. I think MO’s laws are different. When I worked with UI, we won quite a few cases.

Nah, I'm good. Boston is out.

I’m honestly OK with either Tampa or Philly winning it all.

by mikev on Oct 19, 2008 10:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

I would prefer the Rays though

After all this trouble. You had to preform CPR on me!!! I didn’t stop breathing for the Phillies, so I’m with the Rays on this one. GO RAYS!
