Major League Baseball 2011

[ProgMatinee]

Final 4 of Brewers, Cardinals, Tigers and Rangers would be rather unexpected from the start of the year. Individually each team isn't a shock, but who would have guessed at the start of the year that neither Boston, NY or PHI would be in the CS's.

If you were familiar with the Tampa area you might understand why most Tampa fans choose not to go to the games.

I lived not far from Tampa/St. Pete for a while a few years ago. I'm aware of the issues/excuses. It doesn't change the fact that the team has never been supported. I don't know if a move to Tampa proper would be enough to save them. From interviews I've read with Stuart Sternberg I'm guessing if something doesn't happen on the stadium front, the Rays won't exist 10 years from now.

Moving them from St. Pete to Tampa would definitely improve ticket sales. Would it be a drastic change? Who knows for certain, but for me personally it was too much of a hassle/expense to drive from Brandon to get there even with $14 tickets. (I was a season ticket holder in 2000)

Baseball day and night for me. All 8 teams playing today. Yes!

Kinsler and Beltre homered for Rangers. Up 2-0 in the 2nd inning.

Just remember don't touch his head.

Rays lose....crap. Go Tigers!!!

 

[ProgMatinee]

I like and respect the Rays, but part of me is glad the Rockies are not (yet) the last expansion team to win the WS.

Was about a foot away from the 2011 World Series Trophy today in Detroit.

And it's goodbye to the Rays. Damn it.

Just remember don't touch his head.

That's right.

Bro, who saw that coming from Burnett? Really can't wait until Thursday.

 

[BadMoon]

Phils got this.

Honestly, nobody. And it kinda stinks b/c you just knew he would throw a decent game and make it even harder for the Yankees to demote or unload him next year.

Yeah, I thought he was going to be as big a bust as Carl Pavano. Perhaps he might turn it around. How many years does he have left on his contract?

Phillies..3
Cards...5 Final

Wow! I'm really surprised the Cards have pushed the Phills to a 5th game.

If it's Brewers vs Cards in the NLCS, there will be blood.

Took me a while to figure it out.

1982 WS: Cards over Brewers 4-3

We're still alive.

I'm not. I believe the Cards won the season series against the Phils and won 90 games which is pretty good considering our bullpen lost 13 games for us. We can go into Philly and win Friday.
