The playoffs are fun

Post by Hamilton2 »

Congrats to Oakland (bkcubs) on a fantastic season and a very nice 7-game series win against us today. Game 1, on the road, against your best pitcher, we took a 2-0 lead in extra innings and I allowed myself to hope that we could win. 3 bullpen runs allowed later, we were down 1-0 in the series. It proved to be the difference. We dropped another 1 run game in game 2, then swept you in Detroit, before you closed us out convincingly in games 6 and 7. Nothing like losing a 7 game series in the 1st game!

Best of luck to the rest of you teams in this thing. Hope it is that entertaining the rest of the way!

The Mob did not enjoy blowing a 3-0 lead, but congrats Arizona. I should know better than to ever feel comfortable in this game.

Yes, I had all but written off the team down 0-3. Pretty rare to win 4 straight at that point. :shock:

I had another rough playoff experience in the VSL too... After a 6-6 split this season with Washington, i got demolished pretty quickly once the playoffs started. The most surprising to me was that Andy Hernandez after not going less that 6.2 innings or giving up more than 5 runs all season, including a great start against Washington just before the end of the season, has a 2.2 inning 6 run game in the playoffs... Anything can happen in the playoffs though! Good luck to Washington today as they take on Oakland!

It is official. ABE hates me. 2 days later I blew another 3-0 lead in the NGL.

Ouch. 2 times in a 3 day span?. Well, unlike Bundy, there could be something to this. :lol:
