[BB73]

Which team advances to the ALCS, and how many games does it take?

Where's the Red Sox post-season v-bet?

Where's the Red Sox post-season v-bet?

On the DL with the rest of the fucking team.

Game 1, Bottom of the 9th. Neftali Feliz comes in to close with the Rangers leading 5-1 and promptly walks Carlos Pena. Pena is 0-for-3 with 3Ks and 4LOB in the game. Pena is in such a slide, he couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat right now, and Feliz walks him.

Next batter, Dan Johnson. Walk.

Things are getting interesting in TB.

EDIT: Meh. Zobrist line-out and Brignac & Joyce both strike out (Ks on six pitches between the two ABs, and five of them weren't strikes).

Ugly day at the plate for the entire TB lineup.

Texas wins 5-1, leads the series 1-0. Rangers look to be in good shape with a lefty (CJ Wilson) pitching tomorrow opposite Shields, who has been awful lately.

Glad I put some on the Rangers in 5.

If TB had an actual home field advantage, they'd be dangerous.

If TB had a league average right-handed hitter to DH, they'd be dangerous.

Rangers will throw a lot of lefties against this TB lineup and the best the Rays can come up with to DH is Rocco Baldelli?

Rangers roll again. If the Rangers make it to the Series opposite Philadelphia, they could easily win it. This group matches up better with the Phillies than anyone else in the postseason field, it appears.

While I don't think the Rangers can beat the Yankees it would serve the Rays "fans" who spent most of the season disguised as empty seats right to see them lose all three games at home.
