Dodger fans were all primed to do The Freddie but unfortunately the Diamondbacks creamed them.  Tomorrow is another day.

The favored Dodgers are now down 0-2 to the Diamondbacks in a best of 5 series.

And the 101-win Orioles are doneski, as baseball seeks to suck every last penny out of its fans by expanding the post season even further.

Dodgers: no pitching, no hitting, no wins.  And allowing 4 solo homers in one inning!  Da Bums.

[MitchW]

Hey - they had a lot of wins; they just come in the regular season, and since so many teams make the playoffs, they don't mean that much.

Arizona vs Texas.  What's the realistic over/under on how many games I watch?

[Wilfrid]

Hearing that from everyone. Big shrug.

So much for the fix being in.

I'm rooting for the D'backs.

[MitchW]

I have to say that watching a few playoff games here and there, I realized why these teams are still playing.  I mean, I have seen some amazing defense played, along with some pretty significant clutch hitting.

Your comment about defense is true. Because I've been attending the boy's baseball practice I've spend a lot of time watching them work on defensive drills and there have been plays made during the playoffs that crystallize what the coaches are instructing.
