2008 MLB Playoffs thread

Tampa just wanted to celebrate at home.

 

gametime!

 

Hopefully Tampa can close it out at home. I'm getting tired of these New England teams.

 

I'm more pissed that I have to sit through another game with Craig Sager.

 

I hate that mfer. He's a fruit.

 

LOL rays WTF man how do you lose that game?

 

A collective choke job by the Rays. Balfour, Wheeler and Longoria. But the tail should be pinned on Balfour. He really let his team down. A 6-inning shutout by Kazmir gets flushed down the toilet.

 

I know what you mean. Tampa Bay has the most loyal fans, those 7,500 deserve to see their home team win the pennant.

 

wow what an unbelievable comeback. Back to Tampa!

 

I hold Maddon more responsible.

 

absolutely. baseball vampires.

 

I don't know exactly what the stat is, but they're like 38-2 at Tropicana Field when the attendance is over 30,000 or something like that.

Maddon did the right thing by not pitching Shields on the road. Look at this home splits.

I think this will be like the Astros in 2005 when everyone thought St. Louis had the momentum and would win Game 6 and 7. Instead they ran into Oswalt and died. Shields is the new Oswalt here.

 

This Red Sox team is a little bit more formidable than the Cardinals were... and they just came back from 3-1 a year ago.

 

Wait, 8-7 whaaaaat !?

 

I knew I should have took MadMax's advice and not wrote off the Sox. I went ahead and went to bed last night before that comeback by the Sox. I mean they had just scored 4 runs in the 7th but I still thought the Rays would handle them.

 

But this year Beckett is stinking it up so far in playoffs. And no Manny. This isn't the same team.

 

The Red Sox have put back something that I would call a "fake rally".

They will not come back and win this series and it's not because of them. The Rays are just too good.

 

I'm still sticking with this one:

 

no way, chuck. that was one hit in a tight game. this was 7 runs in 3 innings.
