After 6 games, my predicted Divisional Series winners are 1-5, and that 1 belongs to one of the two teams I pray gets hit by a meteor each night when I go to bed.

This year in baseball blows. When does basketball start again? :[

This year in baseball is hell on toast. When does college basketball and James et al. losing in the finals start again? :[

--- Quote from: Kiro on October 08, 2010, 05:08:26 AM ---I think the whole thing about bad calls is just getting blown up more because TV viewers get all those nifty charts showing strike zone location and replay angles. Someone's gonna complain about the strike zone every game so just accept the ump is doing the best he can and yukkuri shitte itte ne. Ditto with the check swings like the one the Rangers got; a somewhat understandable mistake if the ump had to make the decision right there. But it didn't matter in this situation cuz the Rays didn't even score this game.

Actually I think TBS's strike zone thingy is skewed in the first place, so I stick to looking at the plate proper. But yeah, we only give these bad calls more attention because the technology exists to definitively say one way or the other. Something like the check swing call or the stolen base was indeed understandable for making a quick judgment (I thought he checked it too at first), but it would only take like 5-10 seconds for the people upstairs to look at it again and reverse the call. There's the slight chance the check swing had a psychological (or managerial-based) effect on the Rays, but hey, no way I can find that out. :V

The DS has been going back and forth between AL and NL for a few days. Now on Sunday we have both sides playing again. Here are today's scores:

Rays def. Rangers 6-3 (TX leads 2-1)
Yankees def. Twins 6-1 (NY wins series 3-0)

So only three series left after the Yankees won theirs. It's still a do-or-die situation for the Rays, but I would not put a comeback past them. Their game starts early tomorrow afternoon. I'm counting on the Phillies finishing a sweep of their own, or winning in 4 games at the worst. The Braves-Giants matchup feels much closer though, and my curiosity wants me to see which way their series tilts.
Kilgamayan:
Great, one of the only two teams I didn't want to see go anywhere just finished a sweep and the other has Cole Hamels going in a second sweep game.

Fuck this sport.
