2012 MLB Wild Card and LDS Game Thread

[Fritz]

I didn't know that MLB teams flew commercial.

This has probably been my favorite postseason since the Marlins won it in 2003. It has been fantastic.

I feel like Tigers/Yankees is going to be a seven-game classic. Cardinals/Giants should be damn good, as well.

They have chartered flights on commercial airlines.

pretty pleased that the Nationals got knocked out last night

Derek Jeter's routine ground ball in the 8th inning somehow made it all the way to #3 on SportsCenter's top ten.

It was the worst play to ever make the Top 10 in years. Normal people loved it, though.

[Todd]

It wasnt bad, it wasnt good, it was very routine.

i think pete rose was wrong. (not the 1st time) #jetes

Heyman thinks Jeter is gonna break the career hits record.

Only needs 952 more. @_@

[Bobbob1313]

He has 948 over the last five seasons.

So, if he plays as well from ages 39-43 as he did from 34-38, he's got it.

He doesn't got it.

Holy fuckin snot

Valverde kinda sucks but he's the closer so he must close.

[Bobbob1313]

Jose Valverde allowed a .754 OPS against LHB this season. 240-point split.
Raul Ibanez had a .492 OPS against lefties this season.

As an opposing manager, how the fuck do you ever let him face a RHP? Especially one with a split like that?

Closers!

Raul Ibanez is the St Louis Cardinals funneled into one man.

Sounds about right

Well, to be fair, I think Phil Coke is the only lefty on their roster. I could be wrong, though. I don't know if Drew Smyly is on the roster.
