Have the Yankees announced yet when they want to start their series?
I think they have up to an hour after the end of this game….

Nouveau is right.
I know, ‘88. I’d have a much bigger response to that Series if I was around to see it. I was six months or so old.
As far as Philly, I don’t particularly like them. But it’s not really on the scale of NYY/BOS/LAA hatred.

Fielding Independent Pitching.
Basically, since ERA is dependent on the defense behind the pitcher, FIP just looks at how good a pitcher’s been on plays just involving him and the batter. Strikeouts, walks, HR’s.

This is all on Leyland, IMO.
You don’t ask Zach Miner to pitch 2 innings in a one-game playoff; you leave Porcello in to get to your good relievers.

I don't know if Porcello was done
He had issues with all of two hitters, HR and walk. Seemed a bit early in the game to take that as a sign he couldn’t bounce back, given how well he had pitched prior. But if he was spent, Miner’s not a guy to go to anyway — I see him as a long-reliever in quality. Go to your short relievers even if it means asking a 5-6 out save of Rodney. This game’s kind of important to Detroit.

According to peeps who were watching, he was leaving everything up
but yeah, Miner not the choice. Put a closer there if you have to…I think Minn themselves should have used Nathan.

Some people have empty spots in their lineup or they have people on the bench that should be in their lineup.

I think the small success I have is due to roster management
and that just seems lame. I wish it were my intuition or knack for spotting future closers or something more glamorous.

So, forgive me if this has already been brought up, then
But who are people rooting for in the post season?
Red Sox and Yankees definitely out (though Nick Swisher with a WS – OMG)
Neither of the LA teams, eh on the Rockies, I’m not keen on the Phillies repeating, so that leaves the winner of this game, or St Louis.
I’m going to go with St Louis, I think, as we might do a Chicago – St Louis road trip with the A’s next year.
Ok, done.

as a matter of fact, if one of them is going to represent the AL,
I’d love the Red Sox to mercilessly beat down the Angels, the Yankees to crush to Red Sox, like four games straigh and celebrate in Boston, and the Yankees to lose in heart breaking fashion in seven.

but really I’d prefer the Rockies. I’ll root for the AL central team over whoever, the other 3 are my 3 least favorite teams. Dodgers beating the Yankees would be funny.

I'm from there so they were my first team
But they have a lot in common with the A’s: small market, lower budget, threatened with contraction, despised by the ESPN/MLB establishment, generally amiable and humble except for that year they had AssJack.

O/T: Quick B of A question
Has anyone been asked to show ID when making a deposit into someone else’s account.
Also something about they want pre-printed deposit slips as opposed to hand written slips.

That's weird about the deposit slips
Since they made such a big deal about never having to use deposit slips when making deposits to your own account. I have had to show ID in that situation but I was making a deposit into my friend’s account in Viet Nam, so they might have been concerned about money-laundering.
