YES!!

League champions once again at least.

Much closer series than the five game result suggests.

We won the final game on a walkoff walk in the 13th inning.

Unfortunately, River Ross strained his oblique and will miss a couple games.

In sneaky interesting news, Raulo Gutierrez might be able to pitch later in the series.

He'd be available in the bullpen.

About what I expected although I hoped for better. As expected, we couldn't keep Ladd and D'Orio in check and this is what happens. Either way, I'd call this season an overwhelming success as our young rotation got invaluable playoff experience. We've got around 50MM to play with next season and although there are no marquee FA to spend that cash on, there may be room for a big contract or two in the trade market (Hint, hint to people trying to shed some cash!).

Good job, Pat.

Trying to decide who should start Game Four:

The 22-5 Tom Hau, who has struggled in both postseason starts after tailing off in September and October.

or

Raulo Gutierrez, the 40 year old who posted a sub-3 ERA over the last two years and has worked his way back from an August injury to return in time for this game.

Decisions.

Great job. You really work hard at this and deserved it. Now do the DL proud and win this sucker.

Looks the season could be over today?

Sometimes I think you are just messing with me.

[funclown]

No I saw, but things have been moving pretty fast this playoffs it just seemed if the teams exported someone might run it?

Your spoiling me with these Johnny on the spot "running sim now" mindset.

Pat is still gone. We've been simming every day so I want to give him a day just in case.

Plus maybe someone will do a nice writeup for me to read.

Hey I was trading for future talent. How is this illegal? Cubs and Astros been doing it for years. I wasn't giving players away.

Good choice, and good luck!

Damn, the DLCS clinching Game Five was nuts.

A 1-0 win in 13 innings on a walkoff walk?

I've never seen anything like it.
