the "baseball only" thread

I don't believe in jinxes but I'll stop posting about the game in case you're right. :bubble:
 
Darin Erstad (of the Angels) catches the fly ball to end the inning! YES! (Told you I don't believe in jinxes.) 😀
 
Tomorrow's two games are stupidly both scheduled at 8pm EDT. One should have been made an afternoon game.
 
Who scheduled the games to be played at the same time on the same day? :Grrr: And the Angels are up 3-2 in the top of the 9th. 😀
 
I don't know who is responsible for the scheduling. One game will be on FOX, and the other on FX, so you can watch them both, if you have picture-in-picture or two TV's in the room.
 
True mila, but I still don't know why anyone would want them scheduled at the same time. Right now though, I'm just glad the Angels beat the White Sox. 😀
 
Any matchup of the four teams left will make a great World Series. Of course I want my Angels to be in it, but the Astros have never won, the White Sox last won in 1917, and while the Cardinals are the most successful team left (9 titles, second only to the Yankees), they haven't won it since 1982. So I'll be happy with whoever gets there and wins, but I'll be happiest when the Angels do. 😀
 
I will have the remote in hand to shift back and forth between the two games. 😀
 
I've decided to follow today's games online to save my remote from wear and tear. :couch:
 
Glad to help out, blondie46. 🙂 The Angels have tied it! YES! :couch:
 
The White Sox did NOT deserve to win the game! The home umpire made a terrible call. The Angels catcher CAUGHT the ball BEFORE it hit the ground! I'm so PISSED right now. :ranty:

EDIT: I just saw the replay. SOMEONE made a terrible call, because the home umpire called it out TWICE! :Grrr:

I didn't watch either game, but in the post-game here in Chicago they said a bad call went the Angels' way last night, which would have tied the game. Something about rolling into a double play or something. With 46 years since their last World Series appearance, and 88 years since their last championship, I think White Sox fans will take this one LOL
 
I still say it was a bad call. Look for my post about it in the thread started by Krokus in General Discussion.

You can't trust the White Sox announcers. They are homers like the Yankees announcers are. I was watching the Yankees postgame after they lost and they blamed the loss to the Angels on Bubba Crosby and that awful call made by Joe West the home plate umpire. But they don't blame Alex Rodriguez though he was 2 for 15 ( which is a .133 average ). Did the White Sox announcers tell you that they could not execute 2 sacrifice bunts or that they ran themselves out of another inning? I am positive they did not. They are not very objective so DO NOT take them at their word. Like Yankee announcers you would think that Randy Johnson didn't have a bad game 3. They focused on Bubba Crosby running into Gary Sheffield and that call. Like the other games did not matter. 😕
 
As a neutral observer who has little or no rooting interest in the ALCS, let me say that it was a very bad call.
 
Imagine if the White Sox win the series in 7, how people are going to point at this bad call! If they do win the series, I hope they win it convincingly so Game 2 won't matter so much. I'd hate to see a team end a 46 year World Series drought and have it tarnished by controversy.

Also, I wanted to ask: do you like the old way of deciding the MVP better or the more recent way? The old way, the player who had the best year would get the MVP, even if his team finished in last place. But now the trend is to only give it to players who were on winning teams. I guess I can understand that, because it's about the Most Valuable Player and if a guy's team didn't finish anywhere near 1st place, how valuable was he? Maybe if they changed the name of the award to Player of the Year or something, but I don't see that happening.
 
I'm glad there is only one game tonight, so I don't have to keep flipping back and forth. 😀

I hate to say it, but if the White Sox win the series, that call will hang over their heads until the end of time. I'll still congratulate them (and yes, if they do beat the Angels, I'd rather they do it lopsidedly, because close losses are tougher to take), but the missed out will be talked about for years to come unless the Angels win. Look at the blown call by Don Denkinger that cost the Cards the World Series in 1985. Again, I don't blame the fans or players, only the stupid umps. :disgust:
