2009 Playoffs Thread

[Party]

Everything from here on out is a must win for the division race. We still have some wiggle in the Wild Card race, but anything more than 5 or 6 games at this stage is almost insurmountable.

[Fish and Chips]

Reds walkoff hr beats the giants 2-1 in 10

[McLevin]

I used to dislike LeBatard but he's grown on me bigtime

::adds nothing of substance::

[MiamiHomer]

6.5 back of division leader.
4 back of WC leader.

ATL is even with us now going into the series.

[FishFF]

I will bring my good luck into ATL tomorrow. If we lose I will accept the blame.

[Fish and Chips]

this series is gonna be brutal too
Anibal vs Vazquez
Volstad vs Hanson
Nolasco vs Lowe

[Metes]

Ehe I love the 2 pages of Cowherd chat abruptly interrupted by Juank's playoff update

[Namaste]

Time to call this the Wildcard Thread again

[Swifty]

I get very scared heading into Atlanta in what is without question a must win, borderline must sweep, series.
