Running 2007 MLB Post-Season Thread

God I love October. Finished up all my work for the day early so I could get to the bar and watch Padres-Rockies. This is just awesome (good thing is fanboy doesn't cover MLB! I geek out way too much this time of year).

 

Escobar has been pitching most of the season with some kind of knee problem. He said that it was bothering him more around the beginning of September and hasn't pitched as well since then.

 

Maybe the ironic thing about this whole season is the hubbub given the Phils for their 10,000th career loss, and their miracle comeback to win the division.

I'm going to says Phila over New York in the World Series. And god help the city of brotherly love when that happens, brother.

 

Please, Xan. NO!
There is no way I could stomach a Phils-Yanks World Series.
The mere thought of it makes me want to puke.

 

They said it would never happen:

Cubs v. Red Sox

 

I'm holding out hope for Cubs vs. Indians, but Cubs vs. anyone will suit me just fine.

 

"Second."

 

Cubs v. Yankees

 

Like Barsuk said, Cubs vs. anyone would be pretty incredible. ESPN might explode and the world will grow sick of them, but damnit after the Red and White Sox, it's their turn! Unless of course it's Cleveland's turn...

 

Come on, it's the Yankees turn. As a fan I've waited six long years and it is getting very annoying.

 

Wait, the Cubs are in the playoffs? When the hell did that happen?

 

Funny you should say that (in jest I hope), because a Yankee fan friend was bitching this off-season about how long it's been since they won a World Series. Sigh.
