MLB POST SEASON 2010

[Jimbo]

Unfortunately the Rangers #1 pitcher Cliff Lee was used tonight.

Did someone say the next series doesn't start till Saturday ?
They COULD start him on 3 days rest, or have him go in game 2.

Lee has never pitched on three days rest. He didn't last year with the Phillies when it seemed to make sense and it doesn't look like he will this year either...

Rangers refuse to ask Lee to pitch Game 4 - MLB - Yahoo! Sports

They said that Lee will pitch game 2 of the ALCS

Call me biased but I don't think that a club declared insolvent and auctioned off in bankruptcy court should be allowed to participate in the playoffs.

Soccer teams that go insolvent are penalized a massive amount of points. MLB needs to take this type of stance as well

Are you saying the bankruptcy gave the Rangers an unfair advantage?

How well or poorly the management handles their finances shouldn't be allowed to take away the team's accomplishments on the field.

I may be biased, but I think the Rangers deserve extra credit for ignoring the management turmoil and winning the division going away.

Interesting point....but like most businesses, if you can still run the business to pay those debts....I doubt a judge will saying no.

I agree. I am pleasantly surprised they were able overcome this huge distraction.

Yes...I think it did give them an unfair advantage.

In a general sense, if you max out your credit cards you can get some nice things that a more fiscally responsible person would not have been able to get.

I think there has to be some sort of major penalty imposed on clubs that will not show fiscal responsibility. It does give the team a short-term advantage although at long term expense.

Who's they?? ESPN is still reporting Lee will start game 3.

TBS...

I guess THEY were wrong.

Friday's Schedule

That was my prediction before the playoffs started. :up

Me three!

(I have both LCS going six games, BTW)

If the Rangers can split the first two games with NY, then it's a five game series with Cliff Lee pitching games 1 and 5. I'd like the Rangers chances then but I don't know if they can split the first two. The Rangers haven't won at home yet.

NY has a 9 game post-season winning streak vs Texas.

Unlike the NYYs recent history with the Twins, I don't see that playing a part. There can't be anyone on the Rangers roster who was around back then for it to be in their heads...

The other way to look at it is that if the series does not go seven (and more often than not they don't), Lee is pitching just one of the first six games. But don't forget, while the rest of the Rangers pitching staff is not Cliff Lee, they are pretty good.

The Rangers' best chance may be to bring up someone from the minors for their first major league start. For some reason the Yankees tend to make guys like that look like a pitcher Cliff Lee hopes to be someday if he keeps working hard at his craft.

I am just happy that Orsillo is not calling the game.

Another shaky start for Sabathia
