<p>Yipeeeee!!! Love Them Red Sox :)</p>

<p>Al East Champs</p>

<p>Sorry Yankees - Not!!! :d</p>

122

<p>Cubs clinch tonight too.</p>

<p>Maybe this will stave off the Tribune Company selling them off to a group of Philipino businessmen. Heard the plans were to re-name the team the Manilla Folders.</p>

123

<p>Sox - Cubs. Maybe this is the year.</p>

124

<p>. . . for the Cubs’ first home playoff game (thank you, ebay).</p>

125

<p>No one from Philly has posted yet? Baseball sure isn’t dead here. The Eagles are playing the Giants on Sunday, and no one is talking about it.</p>

126

<p>I envy you, 'trophy. I’ve gone to SD and SF for Cubs playoff games but Chicago is a bridge too far, especially with the economy the way it is. I’ll just have to catch them on TV.</p>

127

<p>Congrats to the Phillies fans here. I am not a Mets fan but am amazed that the Phillies were able to climb from being 7 games back. I, unfortunately, remember the September of '64 when they blew a huge lead, as the Mets have just done, and my oh my, it’s painful.</p>

128

<p>Sigh…</p>

<p>Just–sigh…</p>

<p>Well, time to root for that Cubs/Sox WS.</p>

<p>Sigh…</p>

<p>(oh, yeah, AAM, painful is the word. 'Preciate the empathy.)</p>

129

<p>Baseball is very much alive in Denver these days. Go Rockies.</p>

130

<p>and Northeast Ohio - go Indians!</p>

131

<p>Go CUBS Go!</p>

<p>It’s gonna happen :)</p>

132

<p>Greetings from the Evil Empire - the Yankess will prevail. It’s not too late to come to the dark side.</p>

133

<p>I wouldn’t want to play the Rockies or the Phillies right now, with their combined four losses in their combined last 32 games. It’s sad that over the next 3-5 games one of them is guaranteed to lose 3. (I hope it’s the Rockies.)</p>

<p>Trevor Hoffman – Can he ever pitch in San Diego again? If it were on the East Coast, the answer would clearly be “no”.</p>

134

<p>We’ve been following the Rockies even with an 8 hour time difference. This morning I was pouring my second cup of coffee in Germany when our Denver-area daughter called after arriving home from the game. They took their three-year-old son along, and he excitedly told me that “Matt Holliday fell down on his face but he ‘got saved’ and we won!”</p>

135

<p>ReneeV -
That… is a very cute summation.</p>

136

<p>Fundingfather - love your name! </p>

<p>Hate your team. Sorry. (actually, I like Jeter, Posada and Torre. Just can’t stand your owner).</p>

137

<p>My s is in heaven with the Phillies (Rolands for MVP!) and my brother in CO is ecstatic about the Rockies (Holliday for MVP!- did he ever touch the plate last night?)
What a much awaited Wed. for my family!</p>

138

<p>GO PHILLIES! Rollins, Howard, Utley, Hamels…WOW! Even Charlie Manuel looks good to me now.
Baseball is big around here…
We have a great stadium and a great team. Reminds me of 93!</p>

139

<p>toneranger, and you know what happened in '93! ;)</p>

<p>At the risk of sounding like a shill for a local newspaper, if you’re not able to stay up for all of tonight’s game, which starts at 9:07 p.m. Central (maybe, for instance, you live on the East Coast and in the morning have to, uh, work), you can sign up for a free wake-up call from Sun-Times sports columnist Jay Mariotti, who will tell you what you missed:</p>
