Open Thread: Playoffs Day 3

Well, the NL is going to take a break tonight, as the AL division series intensifies. Both series stand at 1-0, and both away teams will be trying to even the score. On a personal traffic note, how is it that I had to drive right by Dodger Stadium last night, and now tonight, I'm driving by Angel Stadium? I am a bad planner.
First up will be Minnesota and New York, as the Twins try desperately to conjure up some of Tuesday's magic and sneak a game from the dominant Yankees. Nick Blackburn will be throwing for the Twins. He pitched last year's tie-breaker game and was on the losing end of the 1-0 White Sox victory. He hasn't lost since September 11th this season, and he threw into the eighth inning his only start against the Yankees (allowing 4 ER). He will be facing A.J. Burnett, who will be using Molina instead of Jorge Posada at catcher.
The nightcap will be the Red Sox vs. the Angels as Josh Beckett takes on Jered Weaver.
Ready? Go.

Two exciting things
I have a job interview on Monday – and the company is situated within spitting distance of the coliseum.
Secondly, I just put up a fanpost about playing softball on Sunday, so I’m going to link to it here, should anyone have an interest in such things.
It’s in San Francisco. And I’ll be there. Uh, this may have put you off, right.

wish i could make softball—too busy. do get a permit to use the diamond! i’ve been kicked out of rolph AND jackson. BYOBases.
also, make sure the coliseum is upwind from your new job. if you’re really gonna spit at it, that is.
don't care if i ever get back.

I'm not really going to spit on it. Unless things go *really* badly, next year. And even then
but I’d be lying if I said it wasn’t a plus point, if I get this, to be able to leave the office and then go straight to a baseball game…

that’s the reason you’re taking the job. That and the pay cheque. They love that stuff.

Though I guess they don’t do endless replays any more, do they?
And there are draws in hockey and very occasionally in pro football. But you’re right, Americans assume that someone needs to win almost every game.

MLB wants the Yanks in the WS.
Bottom line is if you don’t beat the Yanks when you have the chance don’t expect the Umps to help you out at all.

it doesn’t look good for the Twins, but A’s fans of all people should know that the ALDS isn’t over until a team wins 3 games.

Why have extra umpires down the lines?
If they’re not going to get a call right?

that was ridiculous
take him off the playoff rotation. (I don’t think he should be fired or anything. After reading that article about the high school ump that tried to kill himself because of all the hate mail)

If a baseball player did what he did
Congress would threaten to shut the sport down.
When a football player assaults his own teammate in a roid rage and destroys his face (and career) he gets a job on tv.
