Running 2007 MLB Post-Season Thread

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.

Yeah, six years? What an eternity...

 

[Angola!]

Damn, can't even make a joke on this thread.

I would like to see the Yankees win one when I am of legal drinking age, though I am sure my liver doesn't want that to happen.

Wow, how far have the Yankees fallen when they don't get a primetime game? These times should make it so I see more Yankees games though, because I will be able to catch the beginning of game 2 before my Friday night football game.

 

[spnited]

No Yankees game starting later tha 6:30 p.m. Eastern...wow.
I know a lot of NY/NJ editors who are going to be very happy.

 

[Omar_dont_scare]

That Cubs schedule makes me happy, with the exception of Game 3...

 

[Mayfly]

AND THE ROCKIES JOIN THE FUN!

 

[Write-brained]

Have they voted for MVP yet - can't imagine this not propelling Mr. Holliday.

For what, extending the game by totally misplaying a fly ball in the 8th inning and allowing the tying run to score.

Rockies-Red Sox. Boston takes the title in five.

Trevor Hoffman has thrown away whatever support he had left from HoF voters. Between this and the 98 WS, he's got nothing in a big spot.

This definitely hurts his candidacy. He also blew one late last week, which allowed the Rockies the chance to tie.

 

[wickedwritah]

What has happened? The Yankees no longer are the TV darlings?

Even in 2003, when the Sox and Cubs both were in it, they still got their share of 8 p.m. games.

Who hit the first walk-off home run in World Series history?

 

[Songbird]

Fisk?

Drew will have a huge ALDS then disappear against the Yanks.

Kind of initially surprised that Wakefield's not on there, but I suppose it makes sense. I'm not sure why they decided they needed both Cash and Mirabelli, though.
