Too bad the same can't be said for Jon Lester and John Lackey
Blech. I’m no adonis, but they are uggo.

Jon Lester isn't ugly
At least I don’t think. John Lackey, yes. The Angels hold the record for most hideous pitchers ever, though they improved a great deal when Bartolo left them.

Do you guys want the Rays to win
So that they become complacent? I don’t really get why you guys want them to win, besides the obvious of crushing Boston. They have looked good all post season, our division is going to be insane.

Competition breeds a better product
The better the AL East becomes, the better the O’s will have to be to win.

It’s amazing how the Rays had so many crappy relievers last year who became awesome out of nowhere. Howell Wheeler, and Balfour were AWFUL last year. And Trevor Miller wasn’t exactly great either.

I want the Red Sox to have to fly all the way to Anaheim to play game five. That would be sweet.

They're lucky Lackey is a monster.
But then again, the Sox are lucky that Lester is having a good season.

watching this at my night job
in a room full of Red Sox fans. They are already bitching about how Francona should be fired, and how they’re going to “choke” this one away, etc.
Great fans.
Beautiful curveball to get Yuke!

Aybar is an idiot
He tried to bunt for a hit instead of just laying it down.

Now Angels fans will be calling for Sciocia's head
One out, runner at third. Flyball scores a run, so let’s do a suicide squeeze!
Unbelievable. Was that Melvin Mora at the plate?

Well
That is the Oriole Angel way. It’s a Perfectly acceptable play to call if you ask me, all things considered, and Aybar has to at least bunt that one foul. I’m not sure if he didn’t commit or tried to bunt to get on, but either way, no contact is unacceptable.

No disrespect intended
But I’ll take the percentages of a fly ball or a grounder in the hole over a pressure bunt with a runner bearing down on you in the 9th inning of a playoff do-or-die game.
It would be interesting to see the percentages of how often suicide squeeze bunts actually work.

The Cubbies and Angels win 200 games between them and are eliminated in a matter of days.

That's as good a game as you're gonna see
Great pitching, clutch hitting, good defense and at least one wacky play. Hooray beer! And btw, Lester had a good season because he’s good, not because he’s lucky.

Congrats to your team, Mike
That was a hell of a series. Even though the Angels only won one, you totally had the feeling that it could have gone either way at a lot of points in the series. That’s good playoff baseball. I think the ALCS could be even more exciting.
