Wouldn't mind Texas facing the Phillies in the World Series. They've had pretty good success against Halladay, Lee and Oswalt over the years

same here!

Not in the post season.
Wouldn't mind getting to watch you guys try and hit Lee.
That would be the dream matchup for me. Explosive offense vs shutout pitching.

True, i woudln't mind seeing that.

Only bad thing about that is the old saying might hold true. Good pitching beats good hitting any day of the week

It sure as fuck didn't in game 1 of the WS last year.

Both pitchers were sucking it up that game.

very true

The Phillies lost to the Giants in the NLCS 4-2 last year with Halladay, Hamels, and Oswalt...

I think the Rangers could/would win, I just said it'll be a harder trip. And yeah, the Rangers have had success against Halladay and Oswalt. I don't remember them ever facing Hamels.

and looks like Boston may get the wild card

Hamels won against the Rangers in 2008, Halladay and Lee both beat the Rangers this season.
Oswalt lost this season in his matchup.

Halladay is 10 and 4 against the Rangers since 2005. That doesn't seem all that successful to me.
I fucking love this time of year!!!!

Napoli is in a nice groove.

[mustang_marc]

Napoli just went yard with a runner on giving the Rangers a 3-1 lead headed to the bottom of the 9th. Feliz on the mound for the save attempt.

Damn, napster just may have given us home field advantage in the ninth.

I dont really get baseballs seeding. I dont understand why the one is playing the three instead of four.

[idrivea4banger]

Home field advantage in ALDS!!!!

Because they don't want teams from the same division playing in the first round.

It does when you think about it. Non divisional opponent's already had a disadvantage against him. I say beating him 4 times is pretty good lol even in the loses they've hit him pretty good. I know, that doesn't mean shit unless you win the game
