And there's the first home run of this season's play off, David Ross of Atlanta that puts them 2-0 up.

And afterwards despite some controversial calls, Atlanta defensive errors and leaving batters on base, cost them as ST LOUIS win 6-3.
So now the NL moves on to the play offs, best of 5 games. This will see Cincinnati against San Fransico starting tomorrow, and tonight's winners St Louis facing Washington starting on Sunday.

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
I should have also added, that the make up of these 5 games series see one side at home for the first 2 games, and the final 3 games at the other teams stadium.
So the first 2 games in each series will take place at Comerica Park (Detroit). Camden Yards (Baltimore), AT&T park (San Francisco), and Busch stadium (St Louis).
The 1st game tonight has seen Detroit beat Oakland 3-1, so taking a 1-0 lead in that series.

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Yankees look like they'll squeak through with some narrow wins. A-Rod is well out of sorts. Watched him a few times at the Jays and he seems to have dropped. Plenty there though, with Suzuki, Cano and Granderson

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
I think the Orioles will win the DS now. I thought they were done for after Game 3, losing in that way and expected Game 4 to be a Yankee blowout. But they won in 13, think the momentum is with them now.
Can't call Game 5 of Nats/Cards.
Posey is the man! MVP for sure, and what a Grand Slam. Wonder if we'll eventually see Lincecum as a closer? Giants have the pitching, they're the side I'd fear in the postseason.
And the Tigers - Verlander is a big unit.
First time all 4 DS go to 5 games!

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
We now have 2 sides through to the Championship games, following Detroit's 6-0 win against Oakland, and San Francisco's 6-4 win against Cincinnati means both these sides take there respective series 3-2.
The other 2 series are now tied at 2-2, following the Orioles & Washington's 2-1 wins.
Dave,
Agree about the Orioles, each time I've thought that's it, they won the game to stay alive. I think that Detroit have a good batting line up, though there pitching while okay can be got at, especially during the bridge. San Francisco could be dark horses, I didn't expect them to qualify after what happened to Cabrera, and even less when they lost the 2 home games against Cincinnati, but they keep find a way to win.

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
A-Rod will NOT start Game 5 tonight.
Thoughts? Must say it was gutsy for Giardi to pinch hit for him in Game 3. And I'm glad Ibanez made the move pay off (not happy with the result as I want Baltimore to win, but you have to applaud the guts!)

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Very satisfactory for the NYY last night, Dave. CC was immense, as I said he needed to be.
Straight back at it this evening, Andy Pettitte on the mound.
Bad evening for the Baltimore/Washington area, though I crashed when the Cards went down 6 - 0, couldn't believe they'd come back, which of course they did.

I'm sad for Baltimore, but they couldn't close out Game 3.
But the LCS's will be immense!

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
And so now onto the championship games (which are the best if 7), after the Yankees 3-1 win against Baltimore they now face Detroit. With games 1&2 in New York along with 6&7 if required.
In the NL San Francisco will face St Louis after there 9-7 win against Washington, games 1&2,6&7 if required will be in San Francisco.
Dave
Agree that the A-Rod call was gutsy, but also think that it was required as he's been poor recently. You can't just keep picking him because of what he may do, or because he's a name.

Well, he's playing tonight and just hit the first pitch to short stop with the bases juiced.
Back to the bench Rodriguez . . . . . .

Detroit take a 1-0 series lead, by winning last night's game 6-4.
Kiwi
I'm not sure why he was bought in last night, why Leyland changed a winning team, but now that Jeter's fractured his ankle think he will be in throughout now. But then again don't know why he sticking with Varlande closing either.

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Not sure what you mean there, tiger.
Imagine Rodriguez will play tonight, presumably Nix at short and Nunez back on the roster.
As a general rule, Girardi has packed his line-up with as many left-hand bats as possible to combat the predominantly right-handed Tiger pitching.
Valverde looked completely out of sorts last night, hope he stays as the closer as the Skanks were all over him.
It's going to be tough for both teams going at it again just 16 hrs after last night's events. Kuroda needs to be at his best, but it's beyond high time for Rodriguez, Cano, Swisher and Grandyman to start hitting so fingers crossed for a nice win tonight and go back to Detroit all square.

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Just got in from work so not sure what happened in tonight's game, other than Detroit won 3-0 to take a 2-0 series lead.
What I meant Kiwi was in last night's game I'd have kept the same side as game 5 against Baltimore, and try and ease A-Rod into some kind of form. But now Jeter's out, he will be needed more and has to really step up. Valverdi just looks like his confidence has gone, and he dosn't believe in his pitches at the moment.
Still feel the Yankees will take the series back to New York, but they really need to win the next one. Though I did say in an early post that I think the world series will be between Detroit & St Louis.!

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Ridiculous postponement in Detroit last night - due to the "threat" of rai; certainly could have played the first two hours and probably longer.
Sure the fans loved that, but Girardi will like it even less as it torpedoes any plan he had to have CC pitch Game 7. If of course it goes that far.
Good news and bad news from St.Louis:
Good: They won.
Bad: They lost Beltran - will he be back, or is he done?
We'll find out today presumably.

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Apparently the Beltran injury is a day by day one and he could play in game 4 (bit risky in
my opinion), think that if St Louis win and take a 3-1 series lead, they'll rest him for game 5 possibly 6. If they lose could be interesting in how often do they risk him.
Kiwi,
What do you think to the rumours about A-Rod being traded, I know the Miami rumour is supposed to be a jokey conversation, but I do feel they will get rid of him if not this pre season then defiantly next.

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Bad day at the office for New York, went down without so much as a whimper.
No real preference going forward except the traditionalist's opinion that it's great to have it come down between three old-established franchises. But the City of Detroit could certainly use the revenue and good press that would come from a World Series win.
Tiger: I'm no fan of A-Rod, and certainly not the A-Rod who turned up in pin-stripes. I don't think he's been a "money" player ever since he came to New York - not so sure he ever really was in Seattle and Texas either. He racks up (or at least he used to) huge numbers, but seldom in game-winning situations. He's a fine third baseman, but I wished he'd gone to Boston instead of New York and still wish he'd done so.
As for him being traded: Who would want him, unless the Yanks picked up 75% of his salary. He comes across as a miserable, brooding figure which is magnified when the leadership presence of Jeter is sadly absent.
Consensus seems to be that Swisher is out and, possibly, Russell Martin and Soriano as well. No real strong opinions on that but all would need to be replaced, preferably from the "farm".

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Dave,
I like Russell Martin but his batting average this year has been around the Mendoza (I saw Mendoza play several times!) Line and his catching has been very good but not great. Not yet thirty but has lots of miles on him, looks close to forty.
I'd think the Yankees would like to upgrade the position if they possibly could.

Martin is a decent hitter though. Twenty plus HR for the season, although his average did drop to about .210 by the end. Yankees will make big changes in off season after the way they dissipated over the last few weeks

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Sean,
Martin's average didn't "drop to about .210 by the end", it rose; well below .200 most of the season.
I doubt the Yanks will make BIG changes; the guys who let them down in the post-season, apart from A-Rod, are players like Cano and Granderson and I'd doubt they're going anywhere.
One would hope they'll re-sign Kuroda and the pitching rotation will be pretty well set, the bullpen too (tho' likely goodbye to Derek Lowe, Freddy Garcia and Soriano. ? against Novo, but they'll hope Phelps grows in to a starter and they have Feliciano to come back (maybe) and Pineda.
I'd think they'll ink Ibanez for another year but let Chavez, Jones and McGehee go.
Provided Jeter and Mo return to health, and with a question mark over Rodriguez, their team is pretty well set, just a top-rank catcher to add.

Re: OCTOBER- wildcards, post season, Championships
Apparently A-Rod has said that he will be at the Yankees next year. I'm not sure weather that's a good or bad thing, as Kiwi says he's never really performed for the Yankees, and given the money he's on think it could be better used. But this post season and benchings could be the kick up the arse he needs. Kiwi also agree about who could afford him, the only team off the top of my head would be the Dodgers, but would they want him, and I'm not sure that they need him.
As for who wins the world series, I'd sort of like to see Detroit do it.

Dave,
The only problem with baseball playoffs is the games starting so late, 8.07 p.m. EDT for us plus interminable Fox commercials, and incompatible with getting up at 5.00 a.m.
Should be a cracker tonight though - meanwhile the Detroits have had time to go on a Caribbean cruise. Double-edged sword, they've been able to get their pitching rotation set, rested aching bodies, and got Valverde's brain surgery taken care of, but have almost certainly gathered some rust.
