How long have you been watching baseball? Bad calls happen all the time. Sucks for the Twins, though.
I've said it before on JetNation, I'll say it here: Dodgers vs Angels WS
Book it. Pollodamus has spoken.
Since there's no MLB thread here,
I'm calling it- Yanquis-Dodgers WS, Joe Torre wins and gets to laugh at the Steinbrenners.
Derek Jeter isn't that amazing.He was better than David Wright this season.

Explain baseball statistics. I can get football and basketball statistics, but baseball...
And yet you were crying about Longoria even though he's set to make peanuts for the next 5 years and he just posted two years worth a combined 12.6 WAR according to Fangraphs.
Derek Jeter isn't that clutch.

Don't you stat nerds have some sort of clutch equation to measure that...maybe something like WPA/LI ;)
Padilla pretty much pitched against the NL today and the Dodgers barely won.
And if Manuel wasn't distinguished mentally-challenged enough to take Pedro out, they might not have won at all.

fixed.
Padilla would have had his ass handed to him if he faced us.
Philadelphia should get wiped off the map by a meteor strike.
Was it the steroid flap that somehow exorcised the ghost haunting Alex Rodriguez?
That was me in 95, fuck the Mariners.
I don't like this move. Bottom of the 8th, runners and 1st and 3rd, 1 out, bringing in Rivera.
Uh... this is game 4. They have Cliff Lee going tomorrow. I'm pretty sure that the series is going back to the Bronx.
Chase freaking Utley.

This series is over if they lose tonight.
I may be Debbie Downer, but Mo has blown games in the playoffs before.
edit: But Posada just gave the Yanks some more breathing room. 7-4. Feeling good about this.
Don't be a drama queen. Skankees locked up the year when they upped their payroll to about a billion this year, this is just all been a formality.

Yankees have had 200+ million payrolls for years. Hasn't translated to World Series rings.
And to let the pessism continue, the Yankees are the team that blew a 3-0 lead to the Red Sox in 04. Still, 3-1 looks pretty good, though I certainly believe it will go back to New York.
I am sort of angry at the Phillies, because if there is one team in all of MLB I don't want winning a World Series, it's got to be the New York Fucking Yankees.
My stepfather is a lifelong Phillies fan and he's pretty heartbroken right now. I am sort of angry at the Phillies, because if there is one team in all of MLB I don't want winning a World Series, it's got to be the New York Fucking Yankees.
Derek Jeter won the American League award in 2009, despite trailing Joe Mauer in every Triple Crown statistical category, as well as On-base percentage and Slugging percentage.

Boscius- sometimes in October I will still wake up at night screaming Leyritz's name.
If there's one thing worse than obnoxious instate Yankees fans, it's out-of-state Yankees fans. What, you just had to root for the worst team in all of baseball for what reason?
I won't even attempt to deny any bandwagon charge. How can I? I didn't start rooting for them until they were in the world series that year. But, again, that wasn't the reason I rooted for them. It was who they were playing. I can't explain how it stuck, however, except to say that it might have something to do with the rematch in 99 and the way baseball is covered in general (Yanks vs. the Sox is the story, everyone else can buzz off, etc.) every year.
Bandwagon fans. :yuck
It's all true, but more understandable when you realize he's 18 or 19 and pretty dumb.
It's okay to attach to a non-local team before you reach a certain age (I had flings with the Bonds/Bonilla/Van Slyke Pirates and the Warren Moon Oilers as a kid), but certain franchises (Yankees, Lakers, Cubs) should be off limits unless you've got family history.
I mean, really.spoiler (click to show/hide)Secretly part of me hopes the Yankees will win because they're more fun to root against as an evil empire than as perennial underachievers, and I'm constructing an elaborate fantasy where the Orioles' pitchers all develop and take the AL East two or three years from now. When the Yankees win and I have to deal with the insufferable fans, I'll completely regret this.[close]

True story: that series was when I started rooting for the Yankees. As a Dodger fan and a general hater of the "home team," (central NC, but Atlanta is the closest team and there are a lot of Braves fans in the area), I really hated the Braves. I didn't know it before then, but it turns out my dad is a Yankees fan, too. That series brought some rare sports bonding (since we don't pull for the same team in any other sport).
Yankees beating the Braves again in 99 was doubly sweet.
What type of kid roots for ND unless he has a vested interest in the school? :lol

I dunno, probably the same kind of person who roots for Michigan but doesn't go there. :smug

Imagine living in the hornets nest, distant, where girls wear pink Red Sox hats and have giant posters of Jason Varitek
I'm a Met fan, but considering I hate Philly sports fans and I'm currently trying to bone a big Yankee fan, I have to root for them in the series.
Dear Chase,
I feel like I can call you Chase because you and me are so much alike. I would love to meet you someday. It would be great to have a catch. I know I can’t throw as fast as you, but I think you would be impressed by my speed. I love your hair. You run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about. And more. I know you have not been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. And I hope you write back this time and we get to be good friends. I’m sure our relationship would be a real home run!
Yay!
I hope the Yankees' starting pitchers' arms fall off,
and they lose this entire series.
There will be a reckoning in New York. A reckoning, I tell you.
And the Yankees will sit in their new ballpark, a monument to their excess, crying bitter tears as their overpaid, useless players sulk in the dugout.
I thought you guys should know that NYC lives off hate. 8)

Cajole is confused- Chutley is neither latino nor a Met.Could have stopped after Latino!

I was looking for some YouTube video that was put together chronicling the Mets' embarrassing season, but it was no doubt taken down. It was perfect when set to Requiem for a Dream music.

Not like the Astros were picked to win the World Series by SI or anything.
And it's not like the Mets have a fucking prayer of beating out the Phillies next year.

Well, let's just see if Cano can regress his mean towards a daggum hit.

... what, distantmantra? The offseason has just begun! Will the Mariners re-sign Beltre? Will they sign a staff ace? Make some trades?!
They really ought to give the MVP to Mariano.
No brainer, really. Greatest pitcher in the sport ever.
So what are Godzilla and the translator really saying to each other? :smug
Lincecum busted for possession

I had hoped that A.Rod would never get a ring and that Kobe Bryant would never get one without Shaq. Worst year ever. Satan laughing spreads his wings. :'(
