Team Adam's Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 And here are the entries, sorry to anyone who was behind the midnight deadline, but rules are rules. LAD and STL made it look pretty easy last night, but it still will take more to close out PIT and ATL. Should be a great post season... good luck to everyone!

Team Adam's Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 Well, anyone who has ATL in the for the NL is out of the running. Some great games so far this postseason... has everyone been watching? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Every minute! Great win for the Rays yesterday. I don't think they can beat Boston but it's hard not to smile on a walk-off into the ray tank! I wish the Tigers were playing better. All the talent in the world and they're just meh. Been that way all season, really. Cards just keep on rollin'. I'm hoping the Bucks beat them but it's gonna take a miracle. I'm a life-long Dodger fan so I'm very happy to see them steamroll the Braves. I've always liked the Braves as well but I'm not real crazy about all the ancillary crap around them this year. Dissing Chipper? Really? Petty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted October 8, 2013 Author Share Posted October 8, 2013 (edited) as an Angels fan I'm morally obligated to hate all things Dodgers... so I'm pretty much pulling for anyone to beat them. Plus, I want to see the Pirates make a run, not looking like they'll get past STL, but would be so fun to watch them go all the way.

Beemer Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Rays out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Rays out! Yep. They didn't play well at all in this series... it was certainly fun to watch them punch their way thru the "MUST WINS" to make it where they did.

Beemer Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 (edited) At least the Tigers' bats finally showed up. I hope they make the flight to Oakland. If I was a Tiger hitter I'd pack my own bats in my carry-on. Edited October 9, 2013 by Beemer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 Am I watching? I'm a life-long Pirates fan, even got to see Clemente patrol right field (in person) one game when I was young. Do you think I'm watching? Beemer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2012CC6.2 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 And there go the Pirates..... Hated to see that happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted October 10, 2013 Author Share Posted October 10, 2013 Pirates have nothing to be ashamed of... they had a heck of a season and under Hurdle they look to be headed in the right direction. Next year I expect them to be right back in the thick of it. Heres our updated bracket: Beemer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Team Adam's Posted October 11, 2013 Author Share Posted October 11, 2013 Oakland ran into a buzz saw named Verlander last night... the list is getting thinned out. Congrats to everyone who is still in the running. Has been some great baseball to watch regardless of who you're a fan of this year... I expect the STL/LAD series to be great. BOS/DET looks like it could be a good series IF the Tigers woke up... they need Miggy to be Miggy if they are to stand a chance and he hasn't looked like himself lately.

Beemer Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 I still like the Tigers (I picked them at the start of the season) but I really think Boston will be able to neutralize their offense. The Boston pitchers are smart enough to know that the only pitch Miggy can hit with any power at all right now is inside. They will keep away and pitch to Prince. While Prince is a dangerous hitter he can also be an easy out if you make pitches. I predict a low scoring series - but that's nothing new for the playoffs. The Dodgers vs. Cards is quite compelling as well. Great pitching, great hitting. The problem with the Dodgers is that their starting pitching really falls off after Kershaw and Greinke. But what a 1-2! And the Cards can't pitch their #1 until game 3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Adam's Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 Agreed... postseason baseball is not disappointing this year for sure. I still can't believe DET coughed that one up last night. Had a chance to go up 2-0 with all the momentum. Great game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beemer Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 To be honest I was quite surprised the Tigers bullpen held on to the lead in game 1. I think that's the weakest part of the team. I'm certainly not surprised that the BoSox hitters got to them in game two.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beemer Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Detroit didn't cough it up Big Papi took it! I love Papi as much as the next non-BoSox fanatic but I'm sorry; loading the bases in front of him and then throwing him a cookie on the first pitch is the definition of "coughing it up".

Team Adam's Posted October 15, 2013 Author Share Posted October 15, 2013 Puig continues to be a "class act" in LA. <----(sarcasm) That bat flip on the 3 bagger he thought was a home run exemplifies why I don't like the guy... he was 0 for 12 or 14 going into that at bat?? C'mon man... like my coaches always used to tell me "ACT LIKE YOU'VE BEEN THERE BEFORE" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
