MLB Playoffs Oct 21st

[B.A.]

NLCS Game 7 Houston @ STL -> 8:15 p.m. ET (FOX)

HOU: Clemens (18-4), STL: Suppan (16-9)

[Tommy_Harn]

Ah, National League Baseball. The way the game was intended to be played.

[B.A.]

Amen, brother.

I am not a religious man, but if I were, I'd certainly be a Buddhist. There is a certain order to the universe, karma if you will. I think things happen for reason. All signs point to Sox vs Stros. Massachusetts vs Texas (sound familiar to another 'game' going on right now?). Clemens vs the Sox. The Sox having to beat the greatest Sox pitcher of the last half-century and IMO, the greatest pitcher of the last century to exercise the curse. Clemens on track to pitch games 3 and 7 of a World Series should the Stros win. Game 7 at Fenway. Sorry, Cards fans, the Stros win this game. Destiny awaits. It's in the cards. ;)

Even in my bitter disappointment I'll still be rooting on the 'stros though.

[raven56706]

Not that my CHokees have diminished in stupidity, I dont care which team wins..... DESTROY THE SOX

At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

[Nefarious]

Cardinals with a repeat of the last time the two met in the World Series.

Okay. How about this. The Stros have the better (by far) starter going tonight. :D

Clemens got win #300 against the Cardinals. Edgar Renteria was his 4000th strikeout. That's enough success for him.

[wildcatlh]

Of course, the thing is for the Cards, even if Clemens struggles, they're going to have to deal with Oswalt in relief.

Talk about your out of the frying pan/into the fire problems...

I'm sure the Sox would love to see Oswalt pitch more than a few innings tonight in an Astros win.

The Cards are gonna lose tonight I'm afraid :(

Allright Biggio!



Kinda odd sitting watching the game at home alone. I need to head to Hooters or something, once my Astros shirt dries. (3-0 in games where I am wearing that shirt and having a beer, 2 live one on TV).

[Y2K Falcon]

1-2-3! :banana:

[The Cow]

Incredible catch by Edmonds!

[Y2K Falcon]

Jeter wouldn't have had to dive for that one. -ohbfrank-

Indeed. Hopefully we only have 21 more outs worth of Cardinals and Cardinal fans to endure...these guys are worse than the Yankees fans!

[kantonburg]

I have "heard" Edmonds loafs to make great catches like that. I personally don't believe it but.....

[Y2K Falcon]

And a subtler Beltran stretches a BB into just as good as a HR! :up:



Edmonds defense is now a wash for the game. ;)




GO ASTROS!!!!!

F'N Beltran.

[The Cow]

Pretty cool of LaRusa to talk live in the middle of a game 7 :up:

Edit: yeah I know he couldn't talk dead (right?)

[The Cow]

Gotta love commercials with Happy Cows :up:

[Y2K Falcon]

Whew! Now that pressure of the perfect game/shutout is off our back. ;)



Touche' on the squeeze to counter Beltran.

[B.A.]

Don't see the squeeze play too often. :up:

[AndyCapps]

That's one thing that has been cool about this coverage, talking with the Astros' pitching coach and LaRussa during the game.

Suicide squeeze :thumbsup:

[B.A.]

[Y2K Falcon]

Ok, dammit... Corners one out.... Deep fly ball, please, Ausmus. Heck, make Edmonds make the circus catch again to fire up the crowd. See if I care. ;)

[Y2K Falcon]

SQUEEZE!!! SQUEEZE!!!

Though it looks like it's gonna be up to Roger.

[DarkElf]

You NLCS guys are only page 3? :lol:

That's more posts than all season about the Padres. :grunt:

[Y2K Falcon]

Wasting the RISP. :mad:

[B.A.]

That inning was a nail-biter. Thankfully, it was rather uneventful. :)

[B.A.]

Come on, 'Birds!!!

[chrisih8u]

Come on, 25 inning game!!!

[Y2K Falcon]

Poo-holes is slumping. Series avg down to .480.




CMON ROGER!!!

[Y2K Falcon]

*whew*

Nice catch, Carlos!

[B.A.]

Best at-bat Rolen's had in a while. Too bad it ended a few feet short.

Things aren't looking good - the Rocket has hit cruising speed.

[DarkElf]

So, about that Red Sox rotation for the WS.

Did I hear right that Wakefield starts game 1, Schilling game 2 and Pedro game 3?

If so, that sounds like it will be Schilling in game 6 and Pedro in game 7.

That Beltran at bat gets the Kiko seal of approval.

Oh.. well... I was listening to the radio. TV in the other room.... I'm a nervous mess.

Finally - Suppan gets the top of the order to go down 1, 2, 3.

[B.A.]

Originally posted by Y2K Falcon

[Y2K Falcon]

But not as bad as Miller on ESPNRadio describing ANY fly ball. :lol:

[Y2K Falcon]

Suppan at 86 pitches.

[Y2K Falcon]

First K of the game for Clemens. -eek-

[B.A.]

What the fuck were you looking at Reggie!?!

[B.A.]

Clemens is only at 63 pitches. -ohbfrank-

[B.A.]

Womack was safe, but he shouldn't have been in that situation in the first place.

They need to work the pitch count better - Clemens has thrown only 69 pitches through five innings.

[Y2K Falcon]

He was out by a mile....



If he was safe, the good fans would have been throwing balls onto the field. ;)

[AndyCapps]

Originally posted by Y2K Falcon

As am I.

[Y2K Falcon]

Will this will be it for Suppan? He leads off the next inning and will be pushing (if not passing) 100 pitches this inning.

[JurisIL]

Much as I hate the shitbirds...Womack was safe. (I don't feel sorry for him though :D)

Great job, Suppan! Need to score some fucking runs.

[Y2K Falcon]

So, is Suppan coming back out?



Nope. Cedeno coming to bat.

Thank goodness we got rid of Suppan. He'd gotten the last nine in a row. -eek-

[Y2K Falcon]

God these lead off on bases are killing me....

[Y2K Falcon]

Roger's pitches starting to sail. :eek:


* Looks down *

DAMMIT!!!!

[Y2K Falcon]

Scooter... Please explain to us what "Pitch around" means...

[Y2K Falcon]

Tie game since we only give Poo-holes the high heat. -rolleyes-





EDIT: 2 run homer Holy crap.... :yack:

[B.A.]

Sweet Tits!!!

[B.A.]

Scotty Do!!!!!

Rolen hits a two-run homer to the left field corner!!!

[deadlax]

wow.

[The Cow]

Wowsers!

Great game. :up:

[AndyCapps]

SCOTT ROLEN YOU ARE MY CHAMPION!

And yes, I just pulled my #27 jersey out of the hamper and put it on right before that at bat.

[deadlax]

Sox fans can't be too happy right now. If it's Sox/Cardinals, there might be some batting records shattered in the Series.

[B.A.]

Awesome, AndyC. :up:

[B.A.]

Pujols and Beltran both have 14 RBI so far in the playoffs. It's a damn shame one of them has to go home after tonight.

[Y2K Falcon]

Well, it looks like this is the year for the Cards. The Astros offense has been pathetic over the last 24 innings. I just don't see them coming back. :(

<did I do that right, das?>

[FantasticVSDoom]

As a Sox fan, the homeruns dont worry me as much as that suicide squeeze did earlier...Facing big hitters isnt going to be the problem, its that kind of shit that will pose a problem for the Sox.

[darkside]

I originally wanted to see the Sox and Cards in the World Series. At one point it looked like there was no chance for that to happen, but now it looks pretty good.

Should be a great series.

[B.A.]

Great Job, Kiko!!!!

What? No country singer? Just Ernie and the fans?

[AndyCapps]

Way to go Kiko. Bring him back to face Beltran to leadoff the 8th and hopefully it will be his last AB.

[El Scorcho]

Aren't many things more chilling than 50,000+ people singing God Bless America in union.

Hey - you guys are getting way ahead of yourselves - we still have at least two innings to play!!!

That inning didn't go well. :(

[AndyCapps]

I think I'm going to pass out.

[B.A.]

That last ball Tavarez tried to field and me thinks he messed his hand up even more. He was crouching on the mound holding it as the rest of the boys left the field.

My wife saw Izzy warming up and yelled at the TV, "No, Sit his ass down!" :lol: I'm slowly converting her to a full-time Cards fan. ;)

Finally we're guaranteed a World Series where the winner will have a real and actual and valid fan base.

Sox fans and Cards fans are two of the best. I'll be happy for whomever wins, but GO SOX.

[B.A.]

I have worn the same close the last two nights - these things are going to stink by the time the Series is over.

The St. Louis Cardinals are going to the World Series!!!

the score was tied 2-2 and I made the comment that I couldnt decide who to cheer for..

she stopped reading.. looked at the game.. and said, Im cheering for the Astros.. Literally less than 1 second later, Rolen hit the 2 run shot.

if you want to blame corrie, feel free :up:

[twikoff]

btw... my decision, was to cheer for whoever was leading at the end ;)

Either way, it was going to be nice to see a NL Central team finally make it to the big show - just very happy it's the Cardinals.

[AndyCapps]

I was 12 when the Cardinals lost to the Twins in the World Series. I've been waiting for this for 17 years.

My Grandpa was a huge Cardinals fan. He'd sit out in his truck and listen to games on the radio since the local radio station was an affilliate. He took me to my first game at Busch Stadium. It was the first time I had been to a big city, and the first time I had been around so many people. I hope he was able to see the game tonight. I'm sure Jack Buck called a hell of a game up there.

Wow, what a series. Back when the Astros traded for Beltran, people where like "what the fuck?" and expected them to turn around and trade him at the deadline. They had been written off. To catch fire and take the Wild Card at the wire, grind out a full series with the Braves, and go a full 7 games in a series that either team could have taken... amazing. Congratulations on not only winning a postseason series for the first time, but damn near making it to the World Series.

Now on to Boston!

[B.A.]

I was nine the last time the Cardinals made the Series, but I was only a Twins fan back then. :) I remember listening to the games on the radio w/ my dad (a life-long Twins fan) when we were living in West Germany.

My first big league was in Milwaukee and Boston was the visiting team. :up:

[JurisIL]

The NL Central is the toughest division by FAR. Even the AL East can't quite stack up. THREE teams in the NL Central were in the running for the playoffs until the 161st game of the season. That's pretty impressive.

Well, now the Cardinals get a chance to be the second most hated team in baseball........

And if they win it all, I'll be forced to admit that they were for real.

Go BoSox! I hate eating my words!!! Show us that pitching is still important in baseball for God's sake! Tell me that you need more than three good players and a pitching staff with a 4.80 ERA to win the World Championship!!!

Help us Boston! You're our only hope for justice in the world of baseball!!

[Kicker_of_Elves]

:lol:

[Y2K Falcon]

Well, I was negative six when the Colt 45's were founded. Still no World Series games...

Plus, two of those teams wiped out the East and West winners in the playoffs. :thumbsup: NL Central!

[Mad Dawg]

Great news. Since the Astros were tied with the Cards going into the extra innings of the would-be deciding game yesterday and had won the season series, tonight's game is meaningless and I proudly proclaim Houston to be the National League Co-Champions. :up:

As was the NL West, and our division SUCKED. So much for your theory. ;)

[Deftones]

Well, I'm sad to see the Astros lose especially after their late season surge. I've always been a fan of the team. I think Boston has so much momentum right now, coupled with home field advantage, they are gonna take it in six.
