PrintI love the playoffs. Perhaps one day I'll love them even more because a certain team won't suck anymore and will get to participate. But until then I settle for just loving them as an outsider. All Division Series games are on TBS this year.
Game 1: Colorado Rockies @ Philadelphia Phillies - 2:37 EDT
A rematch of the 2007 NLDS that the Rockies took three games to none. Cliff Lee is awesome. That's all I've got.
Former O playing in this series: Paul "Base Knock" Bako
Game 2: Minnesota Twins @ New York Yankees - 6:07 EDT
Hopefully the Twins will be able to ride their emotional high from last night's amazing game to a win in New York. The Yankees went 7-0 against the Twins in 2009 and over match them in pretty much every way possible. They've met twice before in the playoffs with the Yankees prevailing in both the 2003 and 2004 ALDS. Fun fact! The Twins payroll this year is $63M, or $12M less than Alex Rodriguez, Mark Teixeira, and CC Sabathia made in 2009 combined. That's reason enough to root for them, don't you think?
Former O playing in this series: Jerry Hairston Jr.
Twinkie Town -- Pinstripe Alley
Game 3: St. Louis Cardinals @ Los Angeles Dodgers - 9:37 EDT
I really wish these two could face each other in the Championship Series. I don't know why, I guess because I sort of like both of these teams. I mean, as much as I'm capable of liking any National League teams. I can't wait to see Flat Breezy mow down Albert Pujols.
Former O playing in this series: George Sherrill

I love the Phillies day game alternates
the cream jersey with the blue hat and no pinstripes look really good
Ray Rice is so agile. He's a whole new breed for agile you need a new word to describe his agility... UBER-AGILITY!

Cliff Lee had a 8 inning shutout
before giving up one run in the 9th when jayson werth lost a ball in the sun.
Good game so far
I was listening to it in the car on the way home. Normally for the playoffs they have the home and away feed but I could only find the Yankees.
When Jeter came up to bat in the first, this is what John Sterling says, “Here’s the pitching to Jeter, ground ball to third, and through for a base hit! HE’S AMAZING!!”
Really? He’s amazing? He slapped a pitch to the opposite field for a single.

Suzyn Waldman is awful, can't say this enough.
"Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap."
I don't hate her
I mean, I haven’t had much exposure to her honestly, but it sort of seems like if my mom was calling a game. Or you know, someone’s mom.

A-Rod stews in jealousy....

i've been thinking
you know what orioles need to do? is win a lot of ballgames so they get into playoffs.
I have also been thinking that!
Also that picture you put of Melvin on your website made me a little verklempt.

Suzy: “I have a question for you: Does anything Jeter do anymore surprise you? Anything?”
Sterling: “I asked him, ’Does anything Derek do surprise you? He said nothing. NOTHING.”

terrible throw from the cutoff guy

wow
there are quite a few empty seats in that fancy pants section. I feel like if I were the Yankees I’d just send some employees to sit there rather then have them show on camera.

Yeah
I like where you’re going with it, wayward, but that’s sort of awkward to say. Doesn’t really roll off the tongue.

and everyone is so mean to him.

if they want to move to the AL Central, sure
Some Day, Matt Wieters Will Make The Cooperstown Crowd Laugh By Talking About The Time He Batted Behind Melvin Mora And Luke Scott. -Keith Law via Matt Wieters Facts
The Twins won 87 games in the AL Central
That’s three more than the Rays, who finished in third. Put the Twins in the East and they’d probably be below .500. I wouldn’t mind building like the Twins as far as homegrown players, but the Orioles will have to do more than that.

yeah I don't think they're horrible
they’re a pretty good little baseball team, but they would get eaten alive in another division.
