2009 MLB Playoffs

[PEZGolf]

I wonder if it is raining in the Bronx. Here in Central New York, the rain stopped a few hours ago, and the Doppler radar shows no more rain tonight. It would be great if they get to play the game.

Game postponed as the weather is supposed to shit on the Bronx tonight

Major League Baseball desparately needs the ability to challenge calls, like the NFL does.

I think that's what makes the game better: the fact that there aren't stopages to look back at plays and that what umpires call stays (for the most part).

As for Phils-Yanks, ARod is much better than Feliz. Rollins is better than Jeter at both d ("past a diving Jeter!") and o. Phils have the clear advantage at 2nd and possibly first (if Howard continues what he's been doing). Ruiz is better than Posada, and I expect the Phils to run a lot on him...Yanks won't test Ruiz. Outfield has to go to the Phils, too. But, I think the Yanks have a little better starting pitching and a much better closer. Bulpens haven't been great this postseason, so that's a toss up. It would be a great series IMO, but I wouldn't mind Angels-Phils either.

^^^ No! Posada and Jeter are botn much better than Ruiz and Rollins. Blasted Phils (Not Philly Mick) fans!!

They're actually 16-5, but that's totally besides the point.

fair enough

in 1999 I would have agreed with you, Posada you are just wrong...and it isn't close. Jeter is one of the classy guys in baseball and I will say nothing bad about him. He is now a push a best...he may be a hair behind.

[Grndslmhttr3]

As much as I like Rollins, I'd put up Jeter as a better hitter any day, though he's probably a better fielder than Jeter. I agree with you about Ruiz though. He's hitting very well and his throws are spot on every time.

So now it will be back to back games---Sunday and Monday nights?

Well I'm sure you dont hope for a monday game but yes. Tonight at 7:30. I was really upset that they didnt play last night. I want to see the phils again dangit!

[PEZGolf]

OK, the preliminaries are over, and the two heavyweights go at it. GO, Phils! Give us the THRILL of two World Championships in a row. If Lee outduels Sabathia, it will be a short series.

[Lefty-Golfer]

5 games...back to back!!

[Sanzabar]

This could be one of the best World Series in a lifetime!

Two bona-fide aces (CC and Lee)
Two streaky pitches (Burnett and Hamels)
Two vets that just know how to get it done (Pettitte and Pedro)

And to say two really strong lineups could be an understatement! Two magnicficent home field advatanges!

I cannot freaking wait!

[Lefty-Golfer]

This could be one of the best World Series in a lifetime!

Yea it is hard to agrue with that...revised pick is now just Back to back please!!!!!

[Sanzabar]

I think I will have to go with the home team!

I like homefield advatage alot for both teams.

Yankees in 6.

I agree with you. I was excited in 2004 because my Beloved Red Sox were in the Series after coming back from a 3-0 deficit to the Damn Yankees, and I cheered wildly as they swept the Cardinals, but this year's should be close and each game will be exciting!! GO, PHILLIES!!

My BELOVED BOSTON RED SOX MADE HISTORY in 2004! They came back from a 3-0 deficit, and then SWEPT the World Series!

Yankees got smoked

Yankees got smoked

Only caught the 9th inning. But what an inning to catch. Wow, Cliff Lee going all the way. Go on Phillies. Even though they beat the Dodgers, they are still looking good.
