Anybody else checking out the Divisional Series?  My God this has been a great last couple weeks for MLB.  Three out of the four series going to a game five and the one that didn't was still amazing.

The Yankees probably are going to stomp the Tigers now though.  That is regrettable.

Yay Tigers! :w00t:

I admit, I like rooting for the Tigers in the AL (despite their HIDEOUS orange/blue jerseys). For one, they have Jim Leyland. For another they had Ty Cobb.

I would love to see a World Series between Brewers and Tigers.

Especially how they lost.  At home where they had all the momentum and all the chances in the world to win.

Oh and it was ARod who struck out to end it...AGAIN.  That guy is the worst post-season star since Barry Bonds' annual no-show against the Braves.

I hope the Brewers win today.

Only if you ignore 2009, when he carried the team on his back to the Series.  Blame goes to Girardi for batting him 4th when he was still clearly compromised by whatever post-roid joint injuries that continue to plague him.

Anyway, disappointed the Yankees last, but overall the year went pretty well - best record in the AL, and knocking the Sox out of playoffs by beating them in the final series and then dropping the games against the Rays.   :D

Hey Bonds had 2002 as well.

Just remember, that in 20 years people will talk about that epic collapse of the Red Sox, while this will be just another post season for the Yankees.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Not a Yankees fan, but on a certain level I was quite glad to see Boston miss the postseason.  I actually like a lot of their players, but they have probably the worst fans of any team in a major pro sports league in North America.  Sure, Philly fans (in all sports) are just plain nasty, rude people, but Red Sox fans are such whiny, self-righteous jerks.  Yuck.

A GREAT season for Oriole baseball!!

They finally played a game at the end of the season that had some importance. It's awesome to be able to rub it in all the Red Sox fans faces at work. And, now, we finished ahead of both the Red Sox and Yankees in the draft.

It was definitely the most satisfying 69 win season in Major League history.

Cards win. 

I don't think they can win the Series but no one thought they could in 2006 either.

Oh yeah, the Yankees lost.

The Cards may win the Pennant this year.  I'm really surprised.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

And then almost gave it all back until Albert saves the day again.

Oh wow they got 4 more in that inning, even Jackson should be able to hold that for another couple of innings.
