Came up just short......had a bad feeling going in to the last 3 as the 25 bucks pretty much owned me all season.
Very disappointed in the performance of Mauer. I knew the injury bug would be an issue, but hitting .234 with OBP under .300. Yuk!
Good luck to all in playoffs and I look forward to seeing all of you in future leagues.

Hey J-Pav,
A couple of lucky wins for us. Especially the first one with back-to-back single and errors by Spiezio. And then in the first inning of game 2 hits off of Ojeda and Theriot. Ojeda has to be a little surprising, Therioit less so.
Say, what's the story with the pitching change? You had Shearn slated to start game 2 all weekend and then you change it today? Can I expect Wright and Gabbard in the next two or are you going to make changes again?

A split and that's what I expected. I took a huge risk and started my worst pitcher (by far) in Game 2 to get him out of the way. Loewen has been brutal and his performance last night notwithstanding.
Now I can toss my 2 lefty's who have pitched well this season in Games 3 & 4 tonight, and if it goes a 5th game, the surprise of my staff all year, Batista is slated for Game 5.
I need at least one tonight though (obviously).

[b:e32539ee84]Joe[/b:e32539ee84]:
Good road series for you. I can't do any better than having Soria on the hill with a lead in the 9th. Then a second 9th inning loss?? :twisted:
Them's the breaks in the short series.
Gabbard and Wright are on for tonite's away series. I thought about sending out Shearn when I looked at it on Friday. I didn't even mess with my teams over the weekend. As I looked at all our matchups over the season right before the game, it seemed like Snell had a decent chance for a good outing, even though like [b:e32539ee84]Jeep[/b:e32539ee84], I knew Game 2 would be my least favorable matchup. I was also a little leary of giving you the chance to pack the line-up with seven lefties against two hard righties. As you can see, I overthought it, but in the end I think Snell was the right call, even though I didn't catch the dice this time.
I needed Zambrano to win game one, but hopefully he'll get a shot at redemption tomorrow!
GL to all again,

Yeah, looks like the luck turned a bit tonight. Interesting that we both have won on the road. HOpefully that will continue for one more night. ;)
Unfortunately, Hal had used 4-5 RPs in each of the first two games so the only guy that was available in game 3 was Tankersley and he managed to give up 5 big ones with a 9-5 lead. :( The last run coming when he walked Loney with the bases loaded. :roll:
We had a chance in the bottom of the 8th with a one out 2b, but we missed a 1-9 bpsi and the Roberts whiffed.
Probably wouldn't have mattered with a tired Tankersley on the mound.
Both series are going the distance. Should be interesting. We're rubbing the rabbit's foot all day tomorrow. ;) :)

I'm sure I'm the underdog in Vegas. Even though the Bucks are home we have Batisa vs. Harang. Harang had better numbers, but Batista was 12-9 and Harang 15-16.
With both series going 5 it will be nerve-racking tonight. GL all.

I just noticed this. Howard has driven in 12 of the 13 runs I've scored in this series. Only Salty's 1 RBI does another player have a ribbie. Wow.
On a sidenote something a little funny. It's:
[i:fc04b4c37c]Wings at 25 Bucks[/i:fc04b4c37c]
That could be a sign on the front of [i:fc04b4c37c]Hooters[/i:fc04b4c37c]. :lol:
