Watching the pregame. I could tell Cincy was in trouble.

You Pirate fans were jacked!!! What a atmosphere that was at the stadium.

Yeah, that was unreal! Chilling!

Practically everyone I spoke with that was there said it was the greatest crowd experience they've ever witnessed.

That's saying a lot!

Sonny Gray got his 1st MLB win last night as he painted a masterpiece against the Astros.

I expect this to be the first of many for Gray. In my opinion, he's a superstar in the making...

This was one of those games that I would not touch/bet on in a million years.

Other. than maybe the under

Shortstop · 10-13-13, 03:41 PM

For those that like low-scoring, pitching-dominated games, yesterday was your day.

I don't remember the last time there were two 1-0 playoff games in the same day.

The amazing thing is that all four lineups are simply stacked!

Shortstop · 10-14-13, 12:44 PM

Max Scherzer definitely won't be taking the bullpen out to dinner any time soon...

M Scherzer	7.0	2	1	1	2	13	0	108-69	1.29
J Veras	0.1	1	1	1	0	0	0	3-2	9.00
D Smyly	0.0	0	1	1	1	0	0	6-2	27.00
A Alburquerque (H, 2)	0.1	1	1	1	0	1	0	8-6	6.75
J Benoit (B, 1)	0.1	1	1	1	0	1	1	8-7	6.75
R Porcello (L, 0-1)	0.0	2	1	0	0	0	0	9-5	---

The Tigers should be up, 2-0 heading back to Detroit...

Robber · 10-14-13, 09:54 PM

Tigers are flawed

Bad bullpen and Jackson and fielder always suck in the playoffs

Yeah, something just isn't right. Today they lay a goose egg at home...

J Lackey (W, 1-0)	6.2	4	0	8	97-66
C Breslow (H, 1)	0.2	0	2	1	15-7
J Tazawa (H, 1)	0.1	1	0	1	9-6
K Uehara (S, 1)	1.1	1	0	2	16-12

It's do or die for the Dodgers today as Greinke faces Kelly.

I was hoping for a Red Sox & Dodgers World Series but it looks like a long shot now...

I was wishing the same. Heres to Greinke pitching a gem....

Tigers batters continue to choke when the stakes are high

Some things never change

Robber · 10-16-13, 11:54 PM

Looks like my post woke them all up

Except that useless load fielder

The Dodgers are currently down 5-0 in Game 6. Not looking good, but there's still time to come back...

Shortstop · 10-18-13, 11:08 PM

Oh well! The Cardinals are going to the World Series.

I'm now rooting for the Boston Red Sox the rest of the way...

No kidding. Very impressed with Wacha.

Shortstop · 10-20-13, 02:51 PM

Well, it's down to Boston and St. Louis.

I just can't root for the Cardinals.

LET'S GO RED SOX!!!

Yeah, the Cardinals are a pitching factory.

Much credit to their farm system and pitching coaches for consistently producing such terrific, young talent.

koz-man · 10-21-13, 06:45 PM

I might have to put down one unit on Stl (+115) for the Series....

For the Jinx factor

I hope so, that's the way it should be.

In my opinion, there is nothing else in sports better than Game 7 of the World Series!

MikeTizzy · 10-26-13, 01:58 PM

Wacha is great next year. Gray as well

koz-man · 10-26-13, 11:20 PM

That was a hell of a finish to this game.

Unbelievable, But the right call.

Yep, these guys will be a lot higher on the cheat sheets next year.

No doubt! There are several young pitchers who could have monster years next season.

Cole, Gray and Wacha will all be fun to watch...

Jonny Gomes couldn't have picked a better time to get his first hit of the World Series!

Series tied, 2-2...

One hell of an HR by Gomes. I like that guy, wish Oakland would have resigned him last winter.
