The 2007 Major League Baseball Thread

There's a reason even the Mets gave up on Jorge Julio. The guy flat out sucks. I feel bad that the Rockies let the fate of their season rest on his rotten right arm, but then again they got what they deserved for putting him on the mound without a 6 run lead.

Uh oh. It looks like Billy Wagner is closing for the Padres tonight.

What a game this has been...winning run on 3rd after the MVP knocks in the tying run!

[thatshortguy]

You've got to be absolutely kidding with me.

Double off of Hoffman by Matsui, followed by another one by Toli. Then a TRIPLE from Holliday ties it back at 8-8 with nobody out.

My gawd. Fear the Rockies.

Edit: A bloody Holliday scores the winning run on a sac fly to right. Rockies take the Wild Card and are rightfully celebrating...aside from the bleeding MVP candidate, that is =P

Double edit: And let the speculation begin. Replays show that Barrett may have blocked the plate and the home plate ump gave a late call. That said, Rockies still win.

Way to blow it, San Diego.

Unbelievable chokejob by Hoffman (again), and yet another reminder as to why he's not a Hall of Famer in my mind.

Holliday looks like he's concussed while the rest of the team is celebrating. What an amazing finish.

And he never touched home. That's a more crushing end to the season than the Metsies historic collapse was as far as I'm concerned.

never touched the plate

[Guest GotMBTA]

Yes he did.. With his face..

Padres get jobbed, but who cares now? The Rockies are in, and now I have a reason to watch

EDIT: I didn't see the replays, I'll see them on SportsCenter. Was just going by what I heard.

Regardless of the call at home (which I think was blown), that game was absolutely epic. Loved every minute of it. Plus, it sets up a series of two teams that are absolutely engulfed in flames. Wowza.

He never got tagged out, either, so all he has to do is step on home plate when they return to Colorado for Game 3 and he's in the clear.

That was a horrible call, but I mean come on... who really thinks the Rockies are going far? lol.

And I swear is Holliday beats Rollins for the MVP it's a sham... a total sham.

Rollins carried the Phils for almost the entire year with his outstanding play. He, imo, deserves far more than Holliday, but I think whoever wins that series wins the MVP.

Wait what? He has 524 saves. I didn't even think it was a question...

As for the game, just a fantastic game. Sucks that it had to end that way, but still a great game. This postseason is going to be a lot of fun.

[ACCBiggz]

I thought they didn't do that until November?
