MLB playoffs.

Thanks redrock-skins. That was a great series. It really could have gone either way. I give Joe Torre huge props for what he did with that team this year.Some one had to lose.
Now I just hope we can get a win in Chicago.
Go ANGELS!!!!!!!!!

No problem. You got one right away in Chicago. I had a feeling whoever won last night, would win today despite the fatigue.

Yea I was jazzed to get that win last night. If we can get a win tonight then look out. I have tic's for Friday and Sat. :lol: I can't wait for this weekend. Playoff baseball is the best.
Go ANGELS!!!!!

Hopefully, for your sake, the Angels won't follow their recent trend of losing series when they take game 1.

:confused-
And what trend is that? We always lose game won. Last year we got swept by Boston.And in 2002 we lost game one to the Yankees,Twins,Giants and still won the hole thing. This is the first time since Scioscia became manager that we won game one.This might not be good. But I would be delighted to know what"recent" trend your referring to.

I saw on Sportscenter this morning that when the Angels LOSE game 1, they go on to win the series but when they WIN game 1, they go on to lose the series (it's happened twice). So what I meant was, since they won game 1 of this series, if history repeats itself, they'll lose the series. If I can find the stats they showed on sportscenter I'll post them.

CARDINALS, BABY!!! Game 1 Tonight!

Did the Angels get robbed last night, or what? Home plate ump made the wrong call, then did not clearly signal no catch. I'm surprised Josh Paul didn't get tossed, because I would have argued with the ump until I did.

I don't know. When I looked at the replay, it looked like the ball hit the dirt first which made the call correct but usually when the ump makes the gesture of punching the guy out, he's out. A totally screwed up play that cost the Angels the game and possibly the series.

I saw the replay a bunch of times this morning. From what I see, his mitt most certainly hits the dirt, but the ball is clearly in the pocket of his mitt. If it had hit the dirt first, he would have had to cover it up, or smother it.
