The Cubs and White Sox are obviously incompetent.

But anyway, all 4 of the remaining teams are BIG PAYROLL teams.  There's no story in these playoffs anymore.  No interest from me, other than the Torii Hunter local angle.  And that's a stretch.

The small-money teams storyline was cute for a week. Then the big boys took over.

SAD. but sooo true.
What did St Louis spend on players this past year?
They have one great organization to stay competitive year after year!

Twins management needs to peek into what St Louis is doing year after year, as management there seems to either get lucky, or have all the answers!

Unfortunately a bad call by an umpire had a huge impact on this game. Pirates were rallying, but had it all taken away from them with a completely botched DP call on that soft liner. That pretty much ended the game.


Kind of like a ball that lands three inches in fair territory called foul?  A hit that would have been a double (the best kind of hit in baseball btw)?


Are you talking about the ball Mauer hit at Yankee Stadium?  I thought that ball was fair by at least six inches if not a foot.



That's the one.



I thought it was more like three feet. It wasn't close, that's for damn sure.

Status: offline 		WOW! No comments? Despite disliking both these teams, that was a heck of a game last night. Thoughts on the play at the plate? I assume that's a run next year, huh? Since he never actually tagged him. No way an umpire makes a safe call on that play. But technically, he was never tagged. That's the kind of stuff I'm not thrilled about with replay next year. There will still be debate as to whether a call like that should or should not be reversed.

Detroit finally breaks thru with a run.

Should be about 5-0.

Status: offline 		I'm not sure I get Leyland's strategy of playing Peralta in LF this series. This Iglesias dude is a giant black hole in the lineup. Why not Peralta at SS and Dirks LF? Wouldn't you much rather have Dirks' bat in the lineup instead of Iglesias? Seems like a no-brainer to play Peralta at his usual SS position to get Iglesias out of the lineup. Makes no sense.

Edit: I guess Iglesias did hit .303 this season, with a respectable .735 OPS. He's looked brutal in the playoffs though. Completely lost at the plate.

But was it announced after I posted in the early part of last night's game?

I realize Iglesias is a better hitter than Butera. But when Iglesias is at the plate, his stance and mannerisms and build remind me of Butera. Looks like he's got no chance.

Good to see guys with talent swinging hard.

Twins' hitters have no talent and swing hard.
