Postseason Game Thread: Reds @ Phillies, Braves @ Giants

The American League gets the night off as the Twins and Yankees travel to New York and the Rays and Rangers travel to Texas. Both ALDSs could be short as the Rangers and Yankees will both go for the sweep on Saturday.
Cincinnati Reds @ Philadelphia Phillies, 6:07 PM (Philly leads 1-0)
Look, the Reds are a good story and all, but there is absolutely no way they can beat the Phillies. After the laughable Edinson Volquez/Roy Halladay match-up on Wednesday, tonight the Reds send Bronson Arroyo out to face the second best Roy on the Phillies, Roy Oswalt. Best of luck, Reds. You're gonna need it.
Atlanta Braves @ San Francisco Giants, 9:37 PM (SF leads 1-0)
If you missed it last night, Tim Lincecum pitched an absolutely filthy game, allowing just two hits and striking out fourteen. The Giants aren't much for the hitting, but with that kind of performance it doesn't matter. Unfortunately for the Braves, the only run of the game was scored by a guy who was actually thrown out at second base. Too bad the umpire missed the call. I'm honestly tired of talking and hearing about the umpires already this postseason. Hopefully it will be a non-issue tonight. Tommy Hanson faces Matt Cain as the Braves try to even the series.
Here is your irritating Yankee fact of the day: Per B-R.com, the Yankees infield for game one of the ALDS (including CC Sabathia) has the second highest payroll in the playoffs at $118M. Only the entire Phillies team makes more.

That's not a good start, Roy #2...
"You can't sit on a lead and run a few plays into the line and just kill the clock. You've got to throw the ball over the damn plate and give the other man his chance. That's why baseball is the greatest game of them all." -- Earl Weaver
Roy Oswalt is no Roy Halladay
Also, I’m pretty sure the two AL series are over. Oh, not OFFICIALLY. The Twins and/or Rays may even win a game. But they’re pretty much done.
Even if Cinci wins this game, I’m pretty sure they can’t beat Philly.
I’m still thinking the Braves can win their series, because the Giants play in the NL West, so like half of their games don’t count.
What is with Utley and throwing errors in the playoffs?

I wish I had a Predator drone right now, because I would totally be killing whoever keeps whistling.

I can’t stop hearing it, sounds like a dog whistle

I had to turn the game off for a while
Because I have a serious problem with high pitched noises and I had to get away from it.
someone needs to write deadspin about this

Chapman time!

Now THAT is some bad outfield play

that was insane.

I'm glad the Phils are winning now,
but from what I’m hearing, the defense in this game is terrible.

Its like they haveadam jonescorey patterson andPiethat dude who lost the ball up his shirt in the outfield on a bad day
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
And yet ANOTHER bobble in the OF
Chapman’s gotta wonder if Cincy was his best decision as a destination. Can anyone field on this team?

And both have blinders on and forgot how to throw

Are you the one that suggested Angry Birds?
Because whomever did owes me my week back. :)

I don't know if I suggested it,
but I am certainly an addicted fan.
Also, someone really needs to kill the whistle guy.

That is insanity enducing.

The whistle or Angry Birds?
Thank GOD for YouTube, is all I can say. Did OK until 3-6.

that there’s an update out with new levels. YAY!

The Braves don't need alternates.

My roommate is a Braves fan
And he was the one who got me into baseball in the first place.
So go Braves.
And Rays fans are saying
why the hell couldn’t you do that 5 months ago????

I have to say
All of the orange in the stands is kind of getting to me.
Also, Burrell must have really hated TB.

I knew Bobby Cox had one more ejection in him
Too bad it doesn’t count for his regular season stats.
how many hitters do you think actually call that "cherry picking"?

If things keep going as they have been,
there should be some epic (sorry, but it fits here) pitching matchups. Halladay vs. Lincecum? Lee vs. Sabathia (deja vu)?

He has the ugliest beard I've ever seen
It’s all black and wiry. It’s like a bunch of leeches are hanging off his face.
It reminded me of the crappy beard in Team America
It seriously looks like that shit is glued on.

Screw Aubrey Huff
He gave the Os two terrible years and one good one. Then as soon as he gets out he bitches about how bad it was playing for the Os. Fuck him.

07 and 09 were bad
But I know you’re blinded by Aubrey Luv.
You never know when someone is gonna sneak up on ya at the dolphin show! -wrb1990
I don't think 07 was "bad"
But it was not eye-popping either.
.280/.337/.442 was his slash line there, with an OPS+ of 103. That’s OK. Those stats would have been 4th in OBP and tied for 2nd in slugging percentage on the 2010 Orioles.
