KD in CA Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Wild game to start things off last night; of course I turned it off in the 7th and went to bed figuring KC had no shot at a come back. Go Bucs tonight! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Phenomenal game last night!!! I went to bed after the 11th inning ended ... of course. But I was rooting for KC, so I'm happy this morning. Also pulling for Bucs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Go Nats Nothing personal, but I'd rather see any other team win the series than the Nationals. I think I hate them more than I've ever hated the Braves and Phillies combined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could root Baltimore but since they cut ties with the Red Wings after 42 years (1961–2002) I kinda didn't care anymore., Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) What was the tie between Baltimore and the Red Wings? Farm Team. The only player that I can recall off hand is Cal Ripken who played for them back in the 80's! I have a Red Wing baseball in a case. Novelty store item that I've had for 20+ years. Maybe I should chase Cal down and ask for a signature. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rochester_Red_Wings Edited October 1, 2014 by BillsFan-4-Ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 That's the advantage of living on the left coast. Was able to follow the whole game. We don't get cable so we couldn't watch the game but it was even hugely exciting just following it online. Living in Oakland of course I was rooting for the A's. I've been an A's fan since I was a kid in the 70's in WNY. How could a rebellious kid not like the long hair, moustaches, and white cleats of that team. However their massive collapse at the end of the year gave them very little right to even be in the position to play this game let alone advance to the ALDS. Doesn't matter the Angels (my second favorite team) would have crushed them and the will crush KC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Red Wings" threw me off. Was thinking hockey and my hometown used to be the Detroit Red Wings' AHL team's home (Adirondack Red Wings) for many years. We also used to have a AA baseball team, which I would LOVE to see come back (but likely never will). I'd even take single A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's impressive history. Are they the oldest team in the minors... Since 1899 or are there older teams Minor League teams? I had to look it up: http://ballparkdigest.com/201104263780/minor-league-baseball/features/whats-the-oldest-team-name-in-milb-heres-the-complete-list I didn't know the Bisons went back to 1877.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 You can pretty much pencil the cards in for the NL. That team just knows how to win in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Matt Williams is an idiot for taking out Zimmerman! Yes, 1000 times yes. He obviously doesn't know DC baseball history. Storen was the guy in 2012 playoffs that blew game 5 vs. St. Louis. 1 strike away then too just like last night. You gotta let Zimmerman get that last out. He would have. Dumbest move in DC coaching history for any sport. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 The umpire was an idiot for not calling those strikes on panik for the 3rd out in the ninth. Odd that fox didn't show replays or pitch location on ANY of those. Matt Williams is an idiot for taking out Zimmerman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gugny Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Talk about playoff baseball. Wow. We were having post-dinner cocktails with friends and I looked up at the tv over the bar and saw it was 1-1 in the 17th. So the night was a pretty sweet one; dinner and drinks with wifey and friends with the extra-added bonus of watching an 18 inning game in which the Nationals lose. A Bills win would top off the weekend nicely. For the NL, I'm all-in on SF. I just don't like any of the other teams. For the AL, I'd like to see KC make it in. But I'd be happy with BAL.
