yeah, without Pablo we don't match up well with the royals. He was our 5 hitter and really delivered for us. No excuses tonight however, he doesn't start v LHP.
We really needed to beat Blanton. Got a good start from Sheets, but couldn't get to Blanton. :? It happens. Playoffs are a crap shoot for sure, especially in a 5 gamer.
If we can somehow get past Olsen, I like our chances against Lilly, but no matter what, we're going to need to get lucky to get two on the road.

Well, congrats to the Royals. We just couldn't get enough breaks tonight.
We manged to get past Olsen, but couldn't get past Jayson Nix. That stud that he is (a .125 BA last year :roll:), went 2-3 with two RBI and a run scored. The Royals got two BP singles (1-12) that cost us runs. We missed two that could have extended innings (though we probably would have left them on anyway! )
We lost 6-2 with 10 guys left on base. We left someone in scoring position every inning but the 9th. A Rod a pair of K's, Snider (a .371 clutch hitter) two outs, Utley a fly out (missing 1-7 triple!), Snider a single, but a runner thrown out at the plate! (1-12), Cancel a K (off of a RHP) and, finally, Sizemore with a K.
That folks is why the playoffs are a crap shoot. It comes down to a few splits that go for or against one team. Or a guy like Blanton pitching over his head and a guy like Lowe getting lit up. Losing game 2 at home to Blanton was the key. We lost 3-2 and left runners in scoring position in three innings including one in which we missed a 1-11 bpsi. Ouch.
C'est le SOM. We'll get you next time. 8-) Good luck to the remaining teams.

Blackburn reverted to his true form. Petitte and the Youk were huge in game 4.

Well, I have to say I'm surprised that Turn/Burn didn't win game 5. They are pretty good v LHP and Halladay is nails.
They also lost to Stults in the series. Wow.
Well, good luck to the last two standing. May the best team win!

Good luck to the final two teams. I was really hoping for the free credit... :(
Joe-
Stewart really hurt me in this series. Faced four lefties, two reverse lefties and did not get a hit in the series.
Can't blame halladay he was great for me thru this year.
Dollar for Dollar E. Burris is very very good. Decent on base pct. and glove with very good speed.
Hope to play with you guys again :) very soon. :)

Cool, finally get to face Aamot in the World Series after doing a league together in every season. Should be an interesting match up since we both have the same ballpark. Keeping the rest of my team healthy will be the key.
