What a victory for the Braves. Their bullpen is just filthy.

Craig Kimbrel is just filthy. He's a younger version of Billy Wagner with that short arm delivery of his.

I don't really see this series going more than 3 games. Matter of fact, I'll give 5:1 that it doesn't.

Yup...Cole Hamels! H2O sweep.

His stuff is lights out, but that inverted W is concerning. Can't complain about the results today however, the guy was throwing gas, and his breaking stuff was flat out unhittable.

Q. Where'd the ball hit you in the 7th inning?
CHASE UTLEY: It was pretty close. At first I thought it was going to hit me in my head. Fortunately, it didn't. And he throws so hard. I felt like I thought it hit me, so I put my head down and I ran to first.

Q. Did it hit you?

CHASE UTLEY: I'm not sure

Although I played baseball in high school, I don't really care for the sport but I follow what happens in the sport enough..That said, is Bobby Cox the longest tenured Mgr. at the same team in the game???

I remember this guy around at Atlanta when Maddux and Justice were in their first years with the team.

 

[izabelplayer]

Phillies all the way.

As of 2010, Cox is the manager with the longest current tenure in Major League Baseball. Cox has been the Brave's skipper since 1990. However I believe Connie Mack is the longest serving skipper in baseball with the same team because he managed the A's from 1901-1950.

Connie Mack also owned that A's Team so unless he fired himself he was always going to be the manager

You can eat crow once we are world champs. This group is a persistent bunch. I've met some of the players.

.

Twins win never win the World Series again.Their team is built for the 162 game grind,but in recent years,can never get it done in shorter series.

This is the time of year when pitching is most important.Sorry,but the Twins just aren't up on the same level as the other teams in the AL as far a pitching goes.

They will be out the first round again.

Damn it feels good to be right!

I know that all eight clubs that make the postseason are going to be tough, but I know this club is destined to win. It will come down to pitching. BUT, we have the best bullpen in the league, hence why I have so much faith in them.

How do you like your crow served?:1orglaugh

This is why I never start bragging until my team actually wins...

Good rule to live by.

Fuck this. If Morneau's pussy ass would've manned up.

The Twins are still a better team than the Yankers.

Typical American response: When all else fails, blame the Canadian.

When you lose 12 straight postseason games, there is no one else to blame but yourself.

H2O gets it done. Was there any doubt about Philly? Best pitching in baseball!

Alright, I did pretty poorly on my first round predictions (one out of four) and none of the series went the way I wanted them to :crying:

So here are my new predictions:

Phillies over Giants

Rangers over Yankees

Phillies over Rangers

It just so happens that what I think will happen, in this case, is what I hope does happen.

Love playoff baseball!
