Just hope they didn't spend all their run production for the series today. The Yankees seemed to have done that in game 3 of the ALCS last year.

Eeesh...14-2. After two games the playoffs certainly haven't been pitched very well.

And the Yanks are already 4-0 in the 3rd, although I think it's more because of their hitters than Colon screwing up.

Uhh...he got the first two hitters in both innings, yet allowed 5 hits now with 2 outs to allow all 4 runs to score. That's an issue with Colon not finishing innings. He looks impossible to hit until he gets to two outs and then for some reason goes to sh*t.

Goodbye Padres...Peavy done for the year in a celebration accident. Nothing like ending your season celebrating the division title and trying to pitch and aggrevating it more.

Yeah, heard this as it was announced live on the commute home today. What a bummer. Not the first time he's been sidelined due to a freak accident.

My Padres... Can't even celebrate without screwing something up...

Still love 'em though...

I thought Peavy looked like he was hurting out there today. His velocity just wasn't there as well.

I will AGREE, Izzy is not a closer - I know he only blew 4 saves, but I'd rather see Wager myself and Izzy as a setup man. We're paying him a TON of money though.

Nice win by the White Sox.

This is getting ugly, quick. I guess that's what happens when you are playing like sh*t going into the playoffs while the other team was streaking going into them. The Braves bullpen will simply not get it done this year. It didn't help that Huddy gave up 5 runs himself. Eeesh.

What a game! A 5-spot in the 5th thanks to a fielding error by ex-White Sox Tony Grafanino and the Sox beat the BoSox 5-4! The Sox have never won a playoff series in my lifetime and now they're one game away!

Not looking good for the Redsox, the curse maybe back.

F*ck curses. Damn, I hoped that sh*t was played out after they won last year. Graffanino made an error, it happens. Clement pitched like crap yesterday, no curse there.

Go National League, I can't stand any of these AL teams.

Remember Sox were down 3-0 to the Yanks and 2-0 the year before to the A's. Same old stuff...It is hockey season here...I could care less. The Red Sox have started to wear thin on me in the last few months. Maybe it is just baseball.

because I can...Just odd how I am not following the Red Sox since they won the title last year. Seems like I have become complacent since winning.

Damn you Braves!

Less than five hours until game time and I'm getting that excited nervousness feeling about today's game. The key is for Mulder to establish the ground ball early. Keep the ball down. If he can get through the first couple innings unscathed, I'm confident our offense will come through again.

This is a huge game. The Padres will be quite happy with a split going back to San Diego. That's most likely what they were hoping for to begin with. Going back to San Diego tied at one with Matt Morris pitching game three does not give me much confidence.

Gonna be a balmy 60 something degrees at game time. Now, that's playoff baseball temperature!

For me it's more of an excited queasyness...

I hope the Astros/Braves game isn't postponed. I heard on the radio today that it may be rained out.

tsunami · Post by **tsunami** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 2:57 pm

Does anyone think Clemens-Smoltz will live up to the hype? For some reason, I think one of them is going to get knocked out early.

dbdynsty25 · Post by **dbdynsty25** » Thu Oct 06, 2005 2:58 pm

The Braves have had all of three games in the history of Turner Field rained out. That field is amazing when it comes to drainage, they did an awesome job with it. Now, MLB will probably postpone it though because it would mess with their TV schedule...not because the field isn't playable.

Cards always get screwed when it comes to the first round of the playoffs being a small market. We always play in the afternoon.

If they played someone other than the barly .500 Padres it might be a little different too. If it was them against the Mets/Marlins/Phillies, you'd be watching in Prime Time. That's why I'm kinda glad the Astros got in instead...that way I at least get to watch the Braves lose.

Then you should be really happy with the Saturday start time.

10pm Central...
