I can't ####### believe this team won 100 games.

I'm going to be in town for one day in October. ALCS only that night. <_<Bruce Dickinson said:

Game 1 is the day after I get back from Orlando. That idea got shot down quickly. Considered Game 6, but didn't get logged in soon enough for seats I wanted.
So... holding out for I-70 Series II: Electric Boogaloo. If that happens, I'll try to go to one game in KC and one in STL.

Man, somebody beat us to it. This is completely sarcastic, unlike the previous songs linked, and pretty awesome. "Heyward you're my boy" is a call back to "Chambers you're my boy" in that rap song I linked earlier. Dying over here.

My gut says we should be rooting for Cubs and Mets to keep the experienced playoff teams out.
Third-order winning percentages say rooting for Mets is easy call over Dodgers, but that the Cubs are clearly better than the Pirates.

Garcia-Lackey-Wacha?
Bruce Dickinson
Footballguy
Viva El Birdos agrees. They had a good post breaking down Garcia v Lackey for Game 1. Both are good choices, but Garcia's superior ability to keep the ball on the grounds and in the stadium tips the scales towards Garcia.
Also encouraging: both averaged about 6.5 innings per start this season. If they both can pitch that deep in the playoffs, that's less opportunity for Broxton to take the mound.
Bruce Dickinson

Lackey named Game 1 starter
Bob Sacamano
Footballguy
Bruce Dickinson
Footballguy
Yep. With the way Lackey likes to pound away at the outside corner, he will want a plus-plus pitch framer to give him a little extra room out there.
Bob Sacamano
Footballguy
Have to like that they're more optimistic after yesterday's session, though.
Bob Sacamano
Footballguy
Let's say they're down 2-1 going into game 4. Would you be shocked to see a, "Let's see how many innings we can get out of Wainwright and then all hands on deck" approach?
Bruce Dickinson
Footballguy
Rotation is announced as Lackey, Garcia, Wacha, Lynn.
Bullpen: Rosenthal, siegrist, Broxton, Maness, Wainwright, Villanueva, Lyons

Molina and Cruz. Gonna try to play Yadi with a splint.
Reynolds and Moss at 1B. No Adams.
Greg Garcia as backup MI. No Kozma.
OF: Holliday, Heyward, Piscotty, Jay, Pham, Grichuk. No Bourjos.

Got to think Piscotty sees time at 1B.
Still think their best lineup would be Carp, Piscotty, Holliday, Heyward, Peralta, Grichuk, Yadi, Wong.

Feels like an 80s sitcom, where the actor would be sick or something, so they'd just sub in someone for them.
"This post-season, the role of Randy Choate will be played by Jonathan Broxton."

If Broxton blows an 8th inning lead, especially with a poor throw to first after fielding a ground ball, I'm cracking skulls.
If I felt Matheny could commit to Maness-Siegrist-Rosenthal across the back, I'd feel better about it. Rather have Cishek than Broxton, but wow they have a lot of faith in Broxton.

Yeah if Holliday, Grichuk, and Heyward are all good to go, that does make Piscotty an option at 1B. Would rather have Piscotty than Reynolds at 1B against lefties.Gonna be weird having bats off the bench that can hit for power. Not going to miss Descalso filling in at first.

The year they have a viable DH and they're not going to sniff the WS.

It's like The losers lounge at Wrigley except everyone talks about all the playoff and World Series games they have been to instead of just the Bartman game at Wrigley.Tell me about the legends lounge, I'll be making an apperence there this Saturday

Agree with leaving Adams off.
Finally with Kozma.
Would definitely have kept Bourjos over Jay simply for his speed. It's not as if Jay's bat is overwhelming with his injury.
The Broxton thing is mind boggling.

Carpenter 3B
Piscotty 1B
Holliday LF
Heyward CF
Peralta SS
Grichuk RF

We'll see. Never good to have 4 guys in the lineup who you don't really know can give you everything you want from them.
Bob Sacamano
Footballguy
But if he leaves Broxton on the bench, at least it'll feel like he gave them the best possible chance to win.

Wong batting 8th not bad at all. Weird not seeing an auto-out.Let's start this like game 1 of the season.

Oh well. By all means. Let's put the tying run at the plate.
