Yea that was great! I like the Angels a little too though.... so i wouldnt have mind is they won that game... as long as the Red Sox still won the series....
glad the angels got swept personally cant stand them..
the last time the bosox swept in the playoffs they took it all i believe.. not lookin great for the twins either
come on twins, beat those Yanks! Braves/Astros in 30 mins...hopefully Furcal's game winner in extra innings will spark the Braves' offense...and since Backe is pitching, it gives the Braves a really good chance....i still really don't know who will win this series...if the braves play the next few games like they did the first two, then the Astros will win...if they actually hit, then the braves will...

cant say i told you so enough.. twins were a good team, but they just dont have what it takes.. for some reason ive just never respected them.. they put up a good run though.. well played.. and now its almost garunteed that the alcs is gonna be better then the ws
yes it was...lima was great but i still hate the dodgers and hope they lose but it was nice to see him do so good....if your a tiger fan its tough to root against weaver and lima but as a giants fan its impossible to root for the dodgers...weaver and lima can have good outings any other dodger can suck it
but the thing is, they did have enough...Gardenhire just didn't have short enough of a leash...any baseball expert will tell you that in the playoffs you must have a short leash...personally, I think Gardenhire SHOULD have went to Nathan in the 8th when there was one out, instead of leavin Rincon in. Especially in a do-or-die game.
Lima was superb. Goes to show good pitching does beat good hitting. Game 4 tomorrow will be very interesting. The Dodgers definitely have the momentum, but will need Odalis to pitch well.

Yes they did have enough, except a manager, they should've won game 2, and if they had they would've won the series, and I don't know how you can't respect a team that has won the division 3 years in a row with won of the lowest payrolls. They played great, and they should've won the series, only 3 moves cost them, keeping Nathan and Radke in too long, and taking Santana out way too soon.
i can't take this anymore...too much excitement/frustration/joy/anger within a short period of time lol
Gardner made a huge mistake in today's game. Why the hell did he make that double switch? I'm sure he's second guessing himself right now, as are the owners! Good job Smoltz, good job braves' bullpen...Game 5 tomorrow, hopefully it will be a good one, win or lose

look at the twins divison.. winning it is not a big accomplishment.. plus the red sox and NY are often in the alcs together and if not, its gonna be a team from the west over the central almost every time. dont get me wrong i hate the yankees, but theres no should have won or we would have won.. they took it 3-1 so obviously they simply out played them, made better choices, whatever it was they won again
Yes it is a big deal, both the Indians and the White Sox had very good hitting teams this year and look how good the Indians did against the Yankees in the regular season, and when the Sox made the deal for Garcia, everybody said the Twins were done, well they were very wrong just like when almost everyone picked the twins to finish third in the beginning. Also, I seem to remember the Twins beating the A's in 2002, and correct me if I'm wrong but aren't the A's from the west? The Twins were a better team, there's no doubt in my mind, but the Yankees just outmanaged the Twins with the best manager in baseball.
Pretty satisfied with the results in post season thus far--the games I've watched so far have been really exciting, but I can say nothing about that that hasn't already been said already here, but I was sad to hear that Ken Caminiti died. They say it was a heart attack, but I'm sure it will not be a natural death like Darryl Kile's--we all know how many problems Caminiti had with drugs and steroids during the latter half of his career.
Still, it is sad--and I, for one, will remember him fondly. No matter how many times he got it trouble, he kept trying to get back into baseball, and every time he attempted a comeback I pulled for him. I really hoped he would get it together. I think he was 42 years old, but I can't be sure. Too young to die, that's for sure.
