American League playoff matchups

**I Are Baboon** · 09-27-2003, 11:23 AM

What do you think of these matchups?

Boston vs Oakland
New York vs Minnesota

The Boston series is tough to call. Boston's mighty offense has shown that it can be stopped by good pitching, which the A's have. I think this series could easily go either way.

The Yankees are going to pulverize the Twins.

A Boston/New York ALCS would be a frickin amazing series!!!

I hope Boston wins but I can't see it?

I think the boys from beantown will beat Oakland, at least I hope so. Oakland isn't very deep. I hate new york with a passion so I don't care who beats them, they will probably win that series though.

haha no playoffs for Seattle this year

**gr81** · 09-28-2003, 03:16 AM

fuck the mariners, they stink. I have been anti baseball in Seattle Griffey and R Johnson left, that was it for me. Now Pinella and Arod are gone too, give me a break.

At least Seattle has a competing team...

try being an ORIOLES fan.

btw, Oakland will probably choke against Boston;
The winner of th ALCS will come from Twins/Yankees series,
hopefully the Twins.

That would be sweet, but I would hardly call it a choke. Boston is favored in the series. That is unusal for the road team.

I didn't know Boston was favored, my bad.

WOO HOO!!!!

We've got a rested Pedro Martinez going tonight. I like our chances.

Those were a couple of CRAZY games this past weekend!

**Jodi** · 10-06-2003, 09:04 AM

How many pitches you think he's good for?

Go Sox. Go Sox. Go Sox!!

I think his pitch count depends on the score of the game. If the Sox get out to a big lead, they'll probably keep Pedro to six or seven innings and 100 pitches tops. If it's a close game, they'll probably keep him in there as long as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if he throws 130 pitches again.

I also think the Sox offense is due to explode. NO TEAM has kept us quiet for four straight games as the A's have. We are SOOOO due to explode.

Its gonna be an edge of the seat game thats for sure.

No doubt! I thought it was a 4:00 start, but it's actually 8:00. Looks like a crappy night of sleep for me tonight. That 5:00 AM workout tomorrow isn't looking promising....

**Jodi** · 10-06-2003, 09:44 AM

Good luck getting up for the workout. Good thing I don't go into work until 8:30

Go Sox, Go Sox, Go Sox, Go Sox

I watched the entire game AND got to the gym this morning. I am one tired S.O.B.

**Jodi** · 10-07-2003, 07:09 AM

Ohhhhh Yeahhhh Baby!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

**X Ring** · 10-07-2003, 07:31 AM

The ALS is going to be a better series than the world series. I think everything in the Northeast is going to stop for a week. This is going to be awesome!!!! GO SOX!

**Jodi** · 10-08-2003, 08:47 PM

OH YEAH BABY!! Still watching but SOXS are kicking ASS!!!

GO SOX!!!!

After 4 games I'd say your prediction is right on. Hard to believe the world series will be able to top the Yankees-Sox series.

**Jodi** · 10-14-2003, 07:30 AM

This has been an edge of the seat series.

Especially last night OMG! I was dying.

**Triple Threat** · 10-14-2003, 08:04 AM

The number three batter on both teams has been positively terrible. That spot in the order is supposed to be one of the big guns offensively. If either player was putting up respectable numbers, this series could be over by now.
