Yeah Dr. Strangelove...I dunno what he was thinkin...As soon as the 8th ball was pitched, Joe Nathan shoulda been outta there! I mean, he's used to pitchin 25 pitches tops, and what more could you have asked from him up until then?
Did you see how great the Braves played today? They really took advantage of all the walks Clemens threw...they really capitalized....can you sense my frustration and sarcasm?
I have no problem with a team I like losing...but I have a huge problem with a team I like losing when they don't execute. Clemens should not have lasted past the 5th. The Braves 3-6 hitters were horrible at the plate. I'm trying to show a little sympathy towards Charles Thomas, when he struck out with the bases loaded...even though he swung at three balls...he's young, never been in the playoffs in his life, had to face Clemens with crazy pressure. Still...you don't deserve to win if you don't take advantage of bases loaded, 1 out situations!
Kudo's to the Astros offense...They looked good today!
I'll be back after Angels/Red Sox (Molina made a good play when he nabbed the runner at 2nd).

All I'm gonna say is that Gardenhire should never be let to manage a baseball game ever again. He already made the same mistake in leaving Radke in too long so he could give up one more homerun, but I guess that wasn't enough for him.
wonder if the owners will take action like the red sox organization did last year, and fire the manager...and it will have to do with how long pitcher's are left in for
Red Sox did well though...Cabrera came through, which was awesome to see...always enjoyed watching him play when it was Braves VS. Expos.
hopefully tomorrow and friday will be much better days for the Braves and Twins fans

That's what makes it even worse. To see the Twins comeback like that, and have Torii playing his heart out, only to have it all thrown away because Gardenhire doesn't know what the hell he's doing.
on Sportscenter this morning, they referred to the situation as..."Gardenhire pulled a Grady Little"...I completely agree, as I'm sure most of you do also
I am having extreme difficulties watching the Braves/Astros game right now!
What more could Atlanta ask for, runner on 2nd, one out in the first, J.D. Drew and Chipper Jones coming up, then one out, runners on 1st and 2nd in the third, with Drew and Chipper comin up....but nothin!!
They are completely flat! How could you not be excited when you're in the playoffs? Although i will find my way back to the couch to support Atlanta, I am disgusted.

I was disgusted with the manager of the angels leaving that relief pitcher in the game as long as he did because he was so wild and his wildnesss cost them the game against the red sox.
whoever wanted to count the cards out becuase they lacked pitching.. well i think you just learned baseball isnt football. in the nfl defense wins championships (02' bucs) in baseball if you can produce amasing runs you only need a so-so pitching staff to win
who counted the cards out? i don't think anyone counted the cards out...simply because of their offense, and ok pitching...but it can easily be the other way around, not just amazing offense...an amazing 3 man rotation with so-so hitting can win it for ya too

that sucked...i hate the dodger but i like weaver who was doomed from the start....dodgers couldnt do anything thing right defensivly last night to back him up
So at this point,whats everybodys predictions for the playoffs,the world series teams,and the world series winner? mine is Yankees over twins,red sox over angels,cardinal over dodgers,astros over braves with red sox beating yanks and going to the series-remember they dont have andy pettit or roger clemens this year. and cardinals beating astros going to the series,with cardinals beating sox in the world series.Whats your alls?
i would like to see twins over yankees, boston over anahiem, twins over boston.....astros over braves, cardinals over dodgers, cardinals over astos....of course thats what i would LIKE to see but probly wont happen
for the world series its probly gonna be cards and sox...i say cards in 6
Yeah I would LIKE to see the twins go to the series since they are a small market team and win the whole thing but like you said,what you would like to see and what will probably happen are two different things.
