October 6, 201213 yr Only fitting that the Orioles finally make the playoffs again and the big, bad Yankees stand in their way. Camden Yards should be rocking tomorrow.
October 8, 201213 yr QUOTE (scenario @ Oct 7, 2012 -> 08:54 PM) Why is the series starting in Baltimore instead of NY? The altered format (2-3). Washington plays the first two in St. Louis, Cincinnati at San Francisco, Oakland at Detroit, and so on. I think it will revert to the standard format (2-1-2) next year. I don't think it's as big of a deal as some people are making it out to be. Both Wild Card winners were on the road, and Washington, Cincinnati, and New York (road teams) opened their series' with wins on the road.
October 9, 201213 yr Wow, Baltimore... Ichiro... Wow. Edited October 9, 201213 yr by Swingandalongonetoleft
October 9, 201213 yr QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Oct 8, 2012 -> 07:58 PM) Wow, Baltimore... Ichiro... Wow. That was the greatest "slide" I have ever seen in my life
October 9, 201213 yr Imagine a World Series Game 7 ending like that. Link for everyone's benefit. Edited October 9, 201213 yr by Swingandalongonetoleft
October 11, 201213 yr Wow, of course that was going to happen. QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Oct 10, 2012 -> 09:14 PM) Best part is he was PH for ARod. Camera couldn't have cut to A-Rod fast enough after the first one. If TBS did the U-Verse Multiview promo that Sox broadcasts have, two of the four shots would have be of A-Rod during that AB.
October 11, 201213 yr Joe Girardi's father passed away, reports are he'll still manage tonight. Edit: TBS now saying he actually died last Saturday, when reports indicated he passed today. Edited October 11, 201213 yr by IlliniKrush
October 12, 201213 yr Joba Chamberlain just got an elbow massage courtesy of the better part of Matt Wieters' bat.

October 12, 201213 yr Last night they flashed a stat that Nick Swisher is 1 for 34 w/ RISP over his entire postseason career. That's just unbelievable, you would think that by blind baseball luck he could sneak a few bloops or seeing eye singles in there.

He cannot concentrate on a baseball if he is too busy trying to find cameras that are focused on him

October 12, 201213 yr QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 11:40 AM) 29 MIL to not play in a playoff clinching game. I love it. Ibanez just drove in the first run of the game on a dribbler. O's need to stop messing around and end this circus team's season. Edited October 12, 201213 yr by Swingandalongonetoleft
October 12, 201213 yr Orioles insane decision not to hold on Teixeira might have cost them this game.
October 12, 201213 yr Weird HR replay. From the "normal" angle it appears it's easily on the wrong side of the pole, and disappears behind it. Then the other angle makes it look like it nicks it...but again, if it nicked it, the original angle makes it seem like it would have nicked it on the backside of the post, which isn't possible.
October 12, 201213 yr QUOTE (fathom @ Oct 12, 2012 -> 05:26 PM) Orioles insane decision not to hold on Teixeira might have cost them this game. Yeah, that made no sense. Not holding him at all, not even in the neighborhood.
October 13, 201213 yr Happy for Ichiro. The rest of them I only happy for in that it makes the Tigers have to play 4 potential road games.
