I'm surprised there weren't more HRs in this one. Also, Giambi does nothing but draw walks. I mean he's on base all the time which is good, but it seems like he's the first half a double play an awful lot.

I'm sticking with my rotation at the moment. Can you confirm we're doing this as a 2-2-1-1-1 format?

My team in these sims I'm doing live and die by the big inning. I have yet to have a CG.

Yes. Game five is back at Joe Robbie, as is game seven (if necessary).

Ok, I'm about to run game four.

Eighth inning rally against Soria ties it up. Ramirez, Giles, and Jones with big clutch hits late.





Hey 4/5, I will be starting Mark Buehrle in game five tomorrow and pushing David Price back to game six tomorrow night.

Also, since this series is going at least six, all first round series start on Monday, so if you want to change your rotations/lineups, do it before then.

Ugh. Jose Fernandez gets the save by striking out Mike Trout and forcing Buster Posey to ground out with the tying run on third and the winning run on second in the bottom of the ninth. That's fucking clutch.

That's my boy! Marlins coming through tonight.

Big time. And I've got face Maddux at Joe Robbie tomorrow. I needed this win tonight badly.

I'm gonna make a lineup change for tomorrow too. I mean, Greg? fucking Maddux. I don't have much to lose.

1. Anderson RF
2. Posey C
3. Beltre 3B
4. Hamilton LF
5. Trout CF
6. Palmeiro 1B
7. Kent 2B
8. Tejada SS
9. Buehrle P

I'm excited for the all time tourney if we do that. I'm already working on my Rangers roster.

Everything the same for me. Maddux to start. I'll decide game 6 starter depending on what happens in game 5.

Jesus, Buehrle!

I am reverting back to my original line up for game six. David Price will be my starter. Right now I have Barry Zito tabbed to be my game seven guy if necessary.

Biggio had a good game behind the dish.

Yeah, I have to imagine that's the product of starting Biggio behind the plate years after he stopped playing it every day.

That's eight passed balls this series for Biggio.

As a side note, the last three games of this series have been super close.

Let's say Buehrle plays for 4 more years after this year. No reason to think he can't considering he is on pace for his best FIP since 2005. He might get to like 250-260 wins and a career WAR around 70. Those are HoF caliber numbers. He is very Jack Morris like.

Except for the playoff legend status.

Well he does have a ring. Morris has 3 and is having trouble getting in. Who knows.
