Baseball Playoffs

I say Giants in 5?
Do what the Yankees woulda done?

[Typhy]

I am sick, so I went to bed early last night, just after the game ended. That means I didn't get a chance to say this: HAHAHAHA ACE! YOU SUCK! THE GIANTS ARE GOING DOWN IN 6! Ok, and my pick still stands at Angels in 6.  

[Mattster]

I say Giants are gonna kick some Angels ass. Giants in 4.

[Typhy]

*Tries to stop laughing at Mattster enough to make a post* - Matt, the series is already tied at 1-1, it's best of 7. That means that the least that it can go from here is 5.

[Bondo]

Typhy, that kind of calculation would take at least second grade math, take it easy on our young Mattster already.

[KoS Ultimo]

Mattster still has a bed time, it isn't his fault he couldn't stay up and find out the outcome of last nights game.

Yeah, but he doesn't have a mullet, so I bet you are still jealous of him.

As for the game, oh well, we go back to SF tied 1-1, which means we have homefield advantage now.

[Bondo]

Oh man, another second grade math whiz.  SK, seeing as the Giants have already won a game, the most they could win now is three more.

But they aren't going to win three more, the Angels will.  I say Angels in 7 due to the DH and Home Field advantages.

[Flame]

Well, if SF wins the net 3 games (which I think they have field on) then the Angels won't be able to go on their field. I still say Giants in 5, because I think that they could win 3 on their own field.

[PsYcO aSsAsSiN]

The thing that you all lack in reasoning is that the Angels are actually at an advantage by playing at Pac Bell and not at the Ed because it suits their game better. If anything, the only benefits the Giants get is their home fans and removing the DH.

If you look at the season statistics, the Angles are more proficient at playing 'small ball' baseball than the Giants are. With Pac-Bell being such a hard place to hit homeruns, the Angels will take advantage of the huge gaps in the outfield and have rallies like they did against Minnesota and New York.

Angels will take 2 of 3 in San Francisco and win game 6 at home to clinch the series.

[Ace]

Suck it Francisco Rodriguez. Suck it long, suck it hard.

Man, I was jumping and yelling so loud when David Bell hit that single. I kinda wish the throw home would have been a little better so Snow could have nailed Molina ? la Pete Rose into Ray Fosse. Woody got off to a rought start but settled down. Then we had the airtight bullpen three-shot (F-Rod, Worrell, and Nen) close 'em down.

Couple notes on the pregame. First, Gehrig's speech should have been #1. And where was Bobby Thomson's shot? Honestly, people remember Russ Hodge's call way more than say Nolan Ryan's 7th no hitter. However, I must say it was hilarious seeing the fans booing Kirk Gibson and chanting "Beat LA!" Also, was it just me or did Joe Buck seem a little sauced right there at the start? Maybe he knocked a few back to loosen up heh.

[Bondo]

Well, I don't profess to care that much about baseball so I wouldn't be in a position to pick the greatest moment ever, but I do know enough to know that it isn't Ripken's streak.  That would be like saying what Brett Favre has done in the NFL deserves the best NFL moment...commendable yes, up with the greatest moments...no.

[Typhy]

Ace, my reaction was much the same. But I think that my screams were slightly diffrent.

Well, there's more to it than say Favre's streak. 2130 was one of those immortal baseball numbers like 56, 61, 755, etc. For someone to approach it, especially over such a long period of time, helped build it up. Also, it was after the strike so it played a huge role in recreating the lost interest from that mess. Does it deserve top 10? Yes. Does it deserve #1? Not by a longshot.

[|MP|Cringe]

 
Notice how since the Yankees aren't in it, almost no one in NY (Infect) is paying attention to the game....

[Ace]

HAHAHAH HELL FUCKING YEAH!!!! ONE MORE!!!!

[Typhy]

Fucking god... Fucking hell... Fucking shit. Oh well, going back home for the final two games. There goes my pick of 6 games. Still, I'll keep with the Angels,  I think that they will be able to pick up these two wins at home.

[Typhy]

"One pitch away from game 7.... STRUCK HIM OUT ON A HIGH FASTBALL! AND THE ANGELS ARE GOING TO GAME 7!" - Fuck yeah.

[(SiX)Ben]

That was a damn good game, I must say...Giants did superbly till the 6th (5-0), then our mid relief fucked up (ortiz didnt help)... Rodriguez did crappy, as did every other pitcher... So the angels came back from 5-0 and won. Good game... Mainly, the Giants got way to cocky... Up 5-0 and the pitchers started to pitch like shit...

Ahh well, I jacked up my guess, I figured Giants in 6, looks like Giants in 7 instead... That's ashame..

Now the question on the day... Who are the old geezers in the booth (decked out in Angels crap) they keep showing?
