Open Thread 2: Playoffs Day 3

Well, it looks like the Yankee Magic has moved across the street with a dramatic A Bomb off the elite Joe Nathan, multiple Twins rallies falling short with the help of poor execution and questionable umpiring and a walk-off by Mark Teixiera ending it.  Great game to watch and reports from Yankee Stadium are that it was actually shaking after both home runs.

In the nightcap, the Red Sox with Josh Beckett on the hill lead Jered Weaver 1-0 in the 4th.  Enjoy!

LDS' right on track.

Since ‘04, 20 first-round series’:

9 sweeps, 9 decided in four games, only 2 went the distance.
As compared to 5, 6, and 9 the previous five seasons.

The A’s may have broken our hearts in the playoffs, but they made it exciting.

I would have told this to my date

but she left while I was reciting every WS winner since 1947.

Thing about a game between two teams I hate:

No rally pics.

But I have high expectations for these LaLas.

PEOPLE! WE WILL BE FORCED TO ROOT FOR THE YANKEES!

This is unacceptable.

The Real Miracle

It would be winning three straight with the last one being at New Yankee Stadium.

I would so like to see that.

The NY bf would be out of his mind!

Me too.

The game made me so ill. The Twinkies are the only team I can stand in the thought of in the WS.

more to the point

if this continues, one of the slegnA or yankees will be in the WS…. shudder

Today was Cammie's first birthday.

I was bummed that the baseball games had such unpleasant results on such a special day.

by IM4Oakgal on Oct 9, 2009 10:32 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

I hope that you're right.

It was a lot of fun to watch the A’s kick butt when my girl’s were younguns. They got a kick out of it too.

Everything that goes around,

comes around. We’re about to come around.

I think you might be right.

The young pitching is something to be pretty excited about.

by IM4Oakgal on Oct 9, 2009 10:42 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Indeed!

And that won’t be all. This team may not be a contender next year, but it will be one that has some folks scratching heads in 2011. THAT’S what ’m looking forward to.

by lynnzgal on Oct 9, 2009 10:48 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I want a contender.

They don’t have to be in the playoffs for me to feel it was a good season…but I need to feel hope for most of the season to feel that it was a good one.

by IM4Oakgal on Oct 9, 2009 10:52 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Lol

That was pretty upsetting…especially for me. My family lives in Wa. and they like ribbing me about it.

Baseballgirl, you're doing a awesome job with playoff threads but

please don’t use “yankee terminology” in your recaps :-)

A-Bomb from A-rod makes me want to puke. ( I know you only used half the phrase but still)

Fark the Yankees!
