Post-Strike Baseball Tournament: WORLD CHAMPION SKITCHP!

[Lament]

Big game sixes tomorrow.

Verlander vs. Willis
Carpenter/Scherzer/? vs. Santana

JV on the mound at Tiger Stadium, trying to end Skitch's season. Intense.

[@SkitchP]

Damn it Marmol!

flip flop Hamels into game 6 and Willis into Game 7 if there is one.

and FWIW i am cool completing these series tonight and avoiding the weekend if you want.

[Lament]

Verlander vs. Hamels it is.

I'm going to the Sox-Rays game, so I won't be around for a good chunk of the night, but if all four teams still left want me to run another game or two (either before I leave or after I get back), I'm game. I'm gonna need to be focusing on Packers-Lions on Sunday anyways.

[numbers]

I'm fine with running game 6

[philpritchard]

Wow, K-Rod gets two outs in the ninth before going BB, HR, 1B, walk-off 2B to blow the save. These are intense games even when I'm just scanning through the boxscores!

[numbers]

My bullpen has been pretty atrocious throughout this thing.

[Lament]

You've got arguably the MVP of the tournament so far on the mound at home for game six. This is gonna be a big one.

[@SkitchP]

Ive Decided on a lineup change for game 6 only (assuming Verlander)


1 Jacoby Ellsbury CF
2 Chase Utley 2B
3 Miguel Cabrera 1B
4 Alex Rodriguez 3B
5 Carlos Guillen SS
6 Luis Gonzalez RF
7 Alex Gordon LF
8 Alex Avila C

[numbers]

I need Belle to go off so I dont have to worry about the pen.

[Kaius]

Ya. Fuck it. Carpenter. Game 6. Same lineup. They've earned the chance to play this out, even if they get smashed. The way Santana has pitched I don't think it matters.

[numbers]

I wish everyone would stop saying how good Santana is.

[@SkitchP]

I wish everyone would stop saying how good Santana is.

But Santana is amazing.

[The Argonaut]

griffey with another walk-off is pretty sweet.
verlander for me, i'm fine with running it whenever.

[Lament]

griffey with another walk-off is pretty sweet.

Griffey is right there with Santana in the MVP discussion so far.

Alright, gonna run the game sixes before I head over to St. Pete.

Nice managing, Skitch.

Welcome to the Finals, numbers.

I'm off to the game. Skitch, Argo, if you'd like me to run game seven when I get back tonight, just let me know. Otherwise, tomorrow afternoon we see who gets to face Johan Santana and his Winning By Numbers in the Finals.
