Title: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: captain_nintendo on October 05, 2006, 11:39:18 AM I used to love baseball, but I admit that the last 10 years of steriods and strikes have turned me from devoted fan into a casual fan.
I have been an Oakland A's fan since 1985, and am pretty happy to see thay are up 2-0 on the Minnesota Twins in the ALDS. Now if they can actually seal the deal? They have been up 2-0 in some recent series only to choke it away. I dont believe that will be the case this time. :) Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: Tynstar on October 05, 2006, 10:17:00 PM Baseball is boring.

Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: Tynstar on October 06, 2006, 08:16:19 AM Oh OK Thanks
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: captain_nintendo on October 06, 2006, 08:36:42 AM QTF? :laugh: I saw you posted this instead of QFT. I was thinking QTF = Queeen of the Felines :P (DP member) Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: den68 on October 06, 2006, 09:28:50 AM the Tigers tied the series with the Yankees yesterday. next 2 are in Detroit. the Yankees have an obscenely stacked line-up but I think the Tigers will give them hell. Verlander and Zumaya both threw over 100 mph yesterday. you don't see that too often.
though it's not likely I'd like to see a Tigers/Padres World Series. a rematch of 1984. oh... and baseball is not boring. Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: Tynstar on October 06, 2006, 10:16:12 AM though it's not likely I'd like to see a Tigers/Padres World Series. a rematch of 1984. oh... and baseball is not boring. A rematch with the same outcome would be awesome! And yes it is. I can go to the ball park and watch but on TV it is terrible. Pitchers and batters take to damn long to get ready. Then again 75% of the time I think football is boring also. Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: shaggy on October 06, 2006, 12:07:01 PM Out of the 8 teames here is who I want.
Whoever plays the Yankees which makes the Tigers my #1 team right now. Oakland or Minnesota, doesn't really matter to me. Padres, Cards are in the Brewers division and they have been to the playoffs too much recently Dodgers or Mets, doesn't matter too much to me but I'm leaning more towards the Dodgers. GO AWAY YANKEES!!! Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: den68 on October 07, 2006, 07:00:28 PM and away the Yankees have went! WOO HOO!
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: captain_nintendo on October 07, 2006, 10:30:11 PM Go Oakland!
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: Tynstar on October 07, 2006, 11:15:39 PM Go Tigers!!! I hate the Yankees anyone beating teh Yanks is great a team form Detroit doing it is even better.
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: captain_nintendo on October 09, 2006, 08:59:05 AM So..... Joe Torre may be fired/ asked to step down.
Lou Pinella is the prime replacement rumor right now. Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: den68 on October 09, 2006, 10:16:18 AM I've read the shake up could be huge. A-Rod could be gone as well.
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: NESJunkie on October 09, 2006, 08:53:47 PM I'm a brewers fan but come playoff time i usually root for the Twins, but now they are out, I am pulling for Den's boys. GO TIGERS!!
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: den68 on October 10, 2006, 07:49:47 AM it's still hard to believe the Tigers are in the ALCS. hell this is the team that lost 119 games just 3 years ago.
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: captain_nintendo on October 10, 2006, 09:37:28 AM It should be a great game tonight.
Barry Zito has what I like to call a "comic book" (or cartoon) curve ball. The thing looks unreal when it moves. Being the huge A's fan that I am, I really want the A's to pull it off. But for whoever wins this series, I want them to win the World Series! I hate the Mets! (dont mind the Cards) Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: NESJunkie on October 10, 2006, 08:22:06 PM Oh and I hate the cards, and the Mets, even as a national league team follower, i want the AL team to win!
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: den68 on October 11, 2006, 08:13:09 AM Zito didn't last long last night. He got the first 8 he faced then 10 of the next 13 reached base. Nate Robertson got in a few jams but the Tigers turned 4 double plays.
Rodney and Zumaya both were throwing 100+ last night. Got another guy who can hit 100 tonight, Justin Verlander. GO TIGERS! Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: Tynstar on October 11, 2006, 08:17:08 AM Holy crap thats a lot of pitchers that can hit 100.

I have also been an A's fan (and to a lesser extent Giants fan) I was born in '81 and went to my first A's game sometime in the mid 80's and dozens more since. I even went to game 1 of the '89 World Series. I think the earthquake was game 2 but I can't remember... But the A's team and in particular Frank Thomas are a pretty huge surprise to be in the ALCS and I think the Tigers might have too much for them, but we'll see. Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: captain_nintendo on October 11, 2006, 11:10:28 PM Earthquake game was game 3. About 15 minutes before the game if remember correctly.
I live in Arizona, and used to watch the A's on a local UHF channel that was hell to get. Well, it looks bad for the A's. Good luck to the Tigers I suppose. The Bankees...Errrr I mean Yankees are probably going to buy Zito away from us in the off season. I dont even know why I follow baseball anymore. :grrr: Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: Kevincal on October 12, 2006, 09:16:49 PM lol @ Bankees. Never heard that one. It's a great one! :D Ya Zito...honestly, he never has really impressed me that much. Ok I know he is very good, but in the postseason.............I dunno. I don't think he has enough killer instinct. And I'm not referring to the video game...lol
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: den68 on October 13, 2006, 09:27:47 AM Tigers - A's game 3 is going to be freakin' COLD!
GO TIGERS! Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: den68 on October 14, 2006, 08:13:38 PM WAHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE TIGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES BABY! Ordonez hits a 3 run homer in the bottom of the ninth with 2 out. WOW! Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: Tynstar on October 14, 2006, 10:38:54 PM WAHOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE TIGERS ARE GOING TO THE WORLD SERIES BABY! Ordonez hits a 3 run homer in the bottom of the ninth with 2 out. WOW! I second that. It was even better becasue I found out while with Rick the A's fan! ;) Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: den68 on October 16, 2006, 10:20:47 AM I was surprised it was a sweep. Milton Bradley was the only A who did anything with his bat. Frank Thomas did nothing. I think he walked a couple times but had no hits.
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: captain_nintendo on October 16, 2006, 11:50:31 AM Piss off Scott!
And as long as it is not the Mets who win, I could care less. Cards or Tigers, that is who I will root for. (not that I really care) Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: Tynstar on October 16, 2006, 12:06:44 PM Piss off Scott! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: shaggy on October 20, 2006, 07:43:25 AM Cards and Tigers. Hate the Cards. They are in the Brewers division.
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: TraderJake on October 20, 2006, 10:24:50 AM I agree, go Tigers, fuck the Cards, they didn't even deserve to be in the Playoffs, but then no one in the NL Central did.
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: Tynstar on October 20, 2006, 11:08:06 AM Tigers eat birds!
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: captain_nintendo on October 20, 2006, 11:29:51 AM I dont care!
As long as the Mets or Bankees didn't make it, I am good to go. Who ever wins, congrats! Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: shaggy on October 20, 2006, 12:03:19 PM I agree, go Tigers, fuck the Cards, they didn't even deserve to be in the Playoffs, but then no one in the NL Central did. Except the Brewers is what you mean... Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: TraderJake on October 20, 2006, 01:21:26 PM No, I'm pretty certain that no one in the NL Central deserved to be in the playoffs.
Title: Re: MLB play-offs and World Series talk: 2006 edition Post by: The Metamorphosing Leon on October 21, 2006, 12:20:26 AM I'd rather have Card's in than a team supported by numbnuts who elect Hillary Clinton as their senator. :P
