October 6, 201015 yr QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 02:33 PM) Cliff Lee is a post season beast. Does he ever pitch poorly when it counts? Our staff should watch and take notes. Gavin Floyd especially
October 6, 201015 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 03:41 PM) Gavin Floyd especially Like in 2008 where he was the only guy pitching reliably well down the stretch.
October 6, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 02:44 PM) Like in 2008 where he was the only guy pitching reliably well down the stretch. Except for the post season.
October 6, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 02:44 PM) Like in 2008 where he was the only guy pitching reliably well down the stretch. Floyd's final 16 starts of 2008 - 7-4, 4.53 ERA, 1.42 WHIP, 6.7 K/9, 2.4 K/BB He won some games, but that was because he was bailed out by the offense, not because he was pitching particularly well.

October 6, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 06:18 PM) Damn, Balta got pwned. It happens. I still feel like he was the only one who won a bloody game the entire stretch run in 08.
October 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Oct 6, 2010 -> 05:20 PM) It happens. I still feel like he was the only one who won a bloody game the entire stretch run in 08. He won almost half of his starts. He kept the team in the game and was a solid #3 starter. I remember that too, and I remember going back and looking at the numbers about a year ago and seeing the same thing.

October 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 10:12 AM) Just happy the Phillies didnt hold on to him as well, wouldnt be fair. They wouldn't have traded for Oswalt. But yeah, Halladay, Lee, Hamels would be baseball's version of Wade, LeBron and Bosh.
October 7, 201015 yr Holy s***. Desmond Jennings getting the start in RF? Joe Maddon is a strange cat.
October 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 12:02 PM) Holy s***. Desmond Jennings getting the start in RF? Joe Maddon is a strange cat. Wow. They have a lot of lefties, so I guess he wanted another right handed bat vs. Wilson instead of Pena/Brignac. Still doesn't top the Baldelli decision though IMO. Lucky for Maddon, his "fatigue" creeped up again, so Aybar could take his spot on the roster.
October 7, 201015 yr Rays teetering on the edge right now. Down 2-0 in the 5th, two on, one out for the heart of the TEX order, Shields gets pulled for Chad Qualls (worst closer of the 2010 season) edit: And boom goes the dynamite. Michael Young 3-run blast off Qualls, 5-0 TEX Edited October 7, 201015 yr by LittleHurt05

Michael Young 3-run blast off Qualls, 5-0 TEX And that was after a questionable at best call by the 1st base ump saying Young didn't go around on that check swing.
October 7, 201015 yr Author Texas looking like that team that is hot at the right time and may ride it out til November.
October 7, 201015 yr Author And I know this wasn't an awful start but can we stop pretending James Shields is an elite pitcher. Not talking about anyone here but on ESPN and such. He is nothing more than average. Matt Garza hasn't pitched since last Thursday and would of rather had him go today after losing Game 1. Edited October 7, 201015 yr by Brian
October 7, 201015 yr The XXL Chalupa commerical would have been way funnier if Girardi called for Sabathia.
October 7, 201015 yr Tampa gets burned by pitching Chad Qualls, who really has no business being on a postseason roster.
October 7, 201015 yr Bit late to catch the game but Texas is dealing on the road, I don't see them losing a game rest of the postseason. Yikes!

October 7, 201015 yr QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Oct 7, 2010 -> 04:11 PM) Failure. How so? They are embarrasing the Rays right now. Just like: Cincy WILL LOSE but not because they don't have talent. Guess what 'esse' they will lose the series because they don't have enough talent.

Guess what 'esse' they will lose the series because they don't have enough talent. Dude, you just predicted Texas to go 11-0. That's not comparable to me saying the Reds will probably lose but not from lack of talent. The Phillies are just f***ing better.
