Smurfy, our place is almost exactly 40 miles NW of GR, goin down 46. We stay off 6 & 35 as much as we can this time of year & in this kind of weather. Must be around 18 miles to Marcel for us, 14 east & about 4 north.

No, been a while too.

Game was postponed ~ 1:00 PM.

I think it'd be hard to convince them of that but your right as that seems to happen a lot in the playoffs. The extra rest could be good for their starters but I'm not so sure about the bats, guess we'll find out.

Looks like the Cardinals are about done. Hope Gerrit Cole does today what Strasburg did last night.

Bet Dozier isn't too mad about getting traded now, not sure how much time he's seeing lately though.

We use ours so we can run the T&T on the boats when we are putting them in or taking them them out of storage & don't have the batteries in too. Almost all the family has 1 in their vehicle & don't really need to use it very much to justify the $.

We've used them for quite a while & a Stanley 1000/500 amp is what we have now. Ours get used quite a bit, not sure how they hold up to getting bounced around though.

Always been kind of a Verlander fan, except when he was with the Tigers & we had to face him a lot. Anybody but the Yankees or the Dodgers in the NL for me.

WS in '08, don't think they had started the "opener" bit yet then. Think they were 1 of the early ones to do all the shifts though. Seen where MLB Network announced today that the Twins have already decided to pick their option on Cruz.

You don't really need a lot of starting pitching to make a playoff run these days though, look at TB. Only 2 real starters but all their pitching was very good as they led the league in ERA for the season. All while having the lowest payroll.

27 of those 35 K's were in the 1st 2 games so they only put the ball in play for 1 of those. Something they didn't do in the regular season as they were in the top 2 or 3 for fewest K's/9 all season. Granted some of that was because of NY's pitching but they were swinging at a lot of stuff that was more that a little off the plate too.

The '65 team that ran into Koufax & Drysdale in the WS won 102. Pitching was a big part of it IMO but our defense wasn't very good the 1st couple games either. One reason they left some many RISP is that they had 35 K's in the series.

Sure that'd be enough?

Curious to see what Rocco does with the playoff roster, especially Gibson & the rookie pitchers.
