MLB Talk

Dodgers later, hopefully they can win and continue to stay in first place.

Yea if Myers stays on it is closer but CC has been the best pitcher in baseball over the last few months and Sheets is on par with Hamels I think. I would also take the Brewers offense, but it might just come down to who is hot. Moyer is the man I dont understand how he is still pitching.

No I think you deff. have to give the better offense to the Phillies IMO.

I dunno maybe id call it even. but i couldnt give philly the edge.

1st Place. w00t

Dodgers 4.5 up

Another good game from Manny and Casey

Who is going to win the AL East?

Also WD, Not saying it would happen, but how about an all Cali World Series, Dodgers v. Angels?? 😄

As a Reds Fan I have become accustomed to "next year" hopes.
But watching our pitching staff perform and young players has seriously got me to be very optimistic.

Both the Dodgers and Angels have a big obstacle to go through...

Dodgers could face the Cubs or the Phillies....odds are agaisnt them.

Angels....they could face Boston or the Rays. Either way they have to beat them or the ghosts from the past will continue to haunt them.

It would be amazing to have a freeway world series.

The Cubs, I'm scared of because I'm not sure if The Dodgers can score enough. However The Dodgers can beat The Phillies. I love Ryan Howard, but if they pitch carefully to him and the others, they can strike out. Also Philly has no pitching so The Dodgers should be able to score enough to advance..

Both Boston and Tampa have good teams, but The Angels shouldn't be scared of either team. Boston has been struggling so they may not even make it as a wild card. Tampa has a good young team, but lack playoff experience. I think what will happen to the Devil Rays will be the same thing that happened to Detroit a few years ago. Detroit had a totally unexpected great year, but lost it in the playoffs, due to no playoff experience.. But the season isn't over yet so I look forward to the rest of the regular season until the playoffs come..

Hamels and Myers vs Billingsley and Lowe. I would say Phillies have you beat when it comes to playoff pitching.

Yeah, and Moyer who always does excellent in big games. You might have a better overall 1 to 5 staff, but you only need 3 in the playoffs.

Congrats Cubbies! Way to go Pinella! 🙂

Cubs have a great team. The have a great chance

Even though the Cubs have clinched, they better not take it easy on the Mets for that four game series. 13

There pitchers will still pitch around 4 innings maybe. I doubt they would want to go into the postseason with all there pitchers on 13 days rest. There hitters will probably play until the 6-7th, and I know for a fact that even the Cubs bench would kill the Mets terrible bullpen.
