Baseball (MLB, WBC, College, etc.)

Twins defeat the Tigers in 12 innings, 6-5, to win the AL Central crown.

Dodgers-Cardinals today at Dodger Stadium! :woot: :fingerscrossed:

Dodgers take game one against the Cards, 5-3, despite Jonathan Broxton trying to blow another save in the ninth... :shakehead:

Dodgers-Cardinals game two starts now...! :victory: :fingerscrossed:

Dodgers score two in the bottom of the ninth with two out to beat the Cards, 3-2... :woot: :victory: :applaud:

The Blue Crew leads the best of five series, 2-0. :victory:

Game three is in St. Louis, October 10.

^ 1982 ALCS, Angels led Brewers 2-0 and lost 3 straight, 1984 NLCS, Cubs led Padres 2-0 and lost 3 straight.

"It ain't over till it's over" :sweat:

"It ain't over till it's over" :sweat:

And these are the Dodgers, after all. :sweat:

Still, it's a whole lot better than going into St. Louis tied 1-1.

Dodgers sweep the Card out of the playoffs, 5-1. :victory: :woot: :dancing: :applaud:

I am stunned. :shocked:

Red Sox have a 3-run lead and their all-star closer Jonathan Papelbon on the mound, , ,

Incredible.

BoSox crashed and burned the second half of the season. :shakehead:

Yankees sweep the Twins, 4-1.

It's the Angels and the Yankees in the ALCS.

This time it's the Rockies bullpen. Leading 4-2 going into the 9th, they bring in their closer Huston Street (4-1, 35 saves), Phillies get 3 runs and setup up a repeat of last year, Dodgers vs. Phillies.

Should be interesting.

:woot: :woot: :woot: GO DODGERS!!! :woot: :woot: :woot:

Dodgers giving up the long ball to the Phillies like it's going out of style... They trail, 8-6, in the ninth. :sweat:

EDIT: Dodgers lose, 8-6. :(

Dodgers cut it close and beat the Phillies, 2-1. :sweat:

Now the next three are in Philly. :sweat: :fingerscrossed:

Fortunately, baseball is the one sport where home field means the least. [/list:u]

For the Dodgers sake, I hope so. :fingerscrossed:

All the teams in the first round clinched on the road. Hopefully, that's a good sign.

Hopefully the teams on the road are the ones we're rooting for. :beaten:




Yankees beat the Angels, 4-1, thanks to three Angel errors. :hehe:

Yankees and Angels take turns making errors, but the Angels make the costliest one and lose, 4-3, in a five-hour, 13 inning game. :sweat:
