MLB POST SEASON 2010

[DodgerKing]

Rays win the AL East and will play Texas. Yankees will travel to Minneapolis.

Both games are still going on.

 

[SabresRule]

Red Sox beat the Yankees.

NOW it is official- Tampa Bay wins the AL East, Yankees are a Wild Card.

 

[SabresRule]

This will be the first time the Rangers do not play the Yankees in the postseason.

They made the playoffs in 1996, 1998, and 1999- and faced the Bronx Bombers each time.

Unless both the Rangers and Yankees win the first round

From:ESPNcom

New York was 66-37 at the start of play on Aug. 1, but went just 29-30 the rest of the way. It was just the second time the Yankees led through games of Labor Day and failed to finish first, according to STATS LLC. The others were in 1906 and 1944.

One and one and one is three.

so the Twins and Yankees start Wednesday night at the Big Bullseye

I'm thinking Wednesday's schedule will look something like this (give or take a half hour on the start times):


Texas @ Tampa Bay- 1:30pm ET
TBD @ Philadelphia- 5:00pm ET
New York @ Minnesota- 8:30pm ET

 

[BillD1984]

The Reds announced Edinson Volquez, Bronson Arroyo and Johnny Cueto will pitch games 1, 2 and 3 of the LDS.

 

[Mr Tony]

yeah I heard yesterday on the news that if the Twins had played Tampa they would start in the day and if it was NY it would be a night game

 

[BillD1984]

Giants up 3-0........bottom of 8th.


It looks like the Reds can pack their bags for Philly, and the Braves for SF.

Yep..

Looks like the stupid friggen Giants :rant:will win the West and the Braves win the WC.

Giants should easily take the slumping and limping Braves in the first round

 

[BillD1984]

Giants should easily take the slumping and limping Braves in the first round

I agree. IMO, I think that series is the biggest mismatch of the four.

 

[DodgerKing]

It is now official. All playoff spots are set

 

[BillD1984]

Congrats to NL West champion Giants.

NY will ALWAYS unfortunately be the Prime time game.

I'm thinking Wednesday's schedule will look something like this (give or take a half hour on the start times):


Texas @ Tampa Bay- 1:30pm ET
Cincinnati @ Philadelphia- 5:00pm ET
New York @ Minnesota- 8:30pm ET

Indeed, this is the TENTATIVE schedule for Wednesday.


Thursday's tentative schedule (per NESN):

Texas @ Tampa Bay- 2:30pm ET
New York @ Minnesota- 6:00pm ET
Atlanta @ San Francisco- 9:30pm ET

 

[SabresRule]

I agree. IMO, I think that series is the biggest mismatch of the four.

I thought most people would have Cincy/Philly as the biggest mismatch.

 

[SabresRule]

Considering how strong they played until their late-August nosedive, did the Padres choke?

 

[BillD1984]

I thought most people would have Cincy/Philly as the biggest mismatch.

I dunno.

IMO, the Reds have that "team of destiny" look about them that we could be talking about in hindsight. I'm picking the Phillies in this series (I think they're the best team in ALL of baseball), but I wouldn't be surprised by a Reds upset.

OTOH, I don't get that feeling from the Braves, and I think the Giants pitching will wipe them out in four games max.

 

[DodgerKing]

I thought most people would have Cincy/Philly as the biggest mismatch.

Short series, not so much. 7 games series, yes.

I am going to have to root for the Phils only because they have the best shot at beating the Giants in the second round
