Running Baseball Postseason Thread No. 2 Take 2: Wish You Were Here, Derek Jeter

As BYH brought up on the last incarnation: Does ANYONE avoid the sweep here?

I just hope it's not the Rays that blow it.

 

Angels are cooked.
Sox are cooked.
Cubs can win tomorrow, but ... probably won't.
Brewers can win tomorrow. I think they will.

I give my vote to the Cubs.

 

Did Kevin approve you starting this thread?

 

Yes.

 

Again, Chip Caray needs to quit with the whole "J.D. Drew has Mickey Mantle power" garbage.

 

Why? He's clearly the modern day Mickey Mantle.

 

I can't handle Chip Carey's voice. He just sounds so fake, so insincere. He needs to start smoking about a carton of cigs a day for a year.
I will say the games so far seem to move along at a pretty brisk clip. I'll look away for minute or two and see three runs score. Thank goodness for GameCast.

Drew is an excellent player. But the only way to compate to Mantle is as far as playing time goes, Drew makes Mantle look like Lou Gehrig.

 

It's not only that all four series are headed for sweepville..... Yesterday was the first of eight games that had a bit of drama.
