AL is where all great NL pitchers go to retire

BTW for those of you who don't know, in the NL which is the classic form of baseball all 9 players who play defense come up and swing a bat

AL the pitcher gets to rest while a designated batter takes his place on the lineup for batting

but since they put in the wildcard  playoffs it all sucks anyhow

hmm i guess canada technically is in the MLB
but they suck ass X(

i hate the jays , they blew the best pitching lineup in the MLB, BLEW IT

GO RED SOX!! they're guna win again

come on yell, pitching in AL is so much better than NL.. just look at manny. say what you want about him not trying in boston, he never put up these kind of numbers in any season when he was batting against AL pitchers regularly. then BAM send him to NL, he bats .400 in the regular season and he's hitting around .500 in the post season now??

i wonder how he'd do against his former teammates, dise-k, lester, or beckett, pry not .500 that's for sure

you hate Hockey! and you call yourself Canadian!

it's not like it takes much effort to swing a bat 3 times and strike out. having the pitcher in the lineup only benefits the NL pitchers who have a free out when they get to the end of the lineup X(

basically, the AL has better pitching and better batting, and i rather have that higher caliber of play then see worse pitching and batting simply because when the game was first played it was at a lower caliber.

WOOT

7-2 Dodgers in a game I missed taking a nap

I TOLD Nolio they needed to throw beanballs

And I was heard!

Dodgers lose. looks like the Phillies are the team that gets to get beat by the rays

LOL...Rays

I'm still not counting out the Red Sox.  Just look at the history:

2004 - Wins the ALCS in 7 games after being down 3-0 to New York
2007 - Wins the ALCS in 7 games after being down 3-1 to Cleveland

A 3-1 comeback has happened 4 times in the ALCS since the League split up into divisions, and Boston has done it 3 of those 4 times.

Plus, you have to look at the people on the mound for said Sox.  Matsuzaka is brilliant (messy but effective), and Beckett and Lester are obviously looking for vengeance.

Lastly, in game 4, while they got raped by the Rays, near the end of the game, they started to show a little heart and slowly beat away at the lead, getting big hits.  If that solid triple by Ortiz in the 8th was any indication of him starting to hit again, the Rays have something to look out for.

But then again, the Rays have 3 great pitchers lined up, and they're coming home for games 6 and 7, where they were the best home team in baseball all year.  Shall be an interesting finish.

Here's hoping for a Sox/Phillies World Series.  Even though we all know the Rays will prolly get there, and be raped by the Phillies...they're just so damn good.

Anyone see that game last night?

That right there, is evidence enough as to why the Red Sox are the best comeback team in baseball.  And also reason enough as to why they're the best team in baseball over the last 5 years.

From hell's heart I curse AL ball

For hate's sake I spit my last breath at AL ball X(
