http://www.usatoday.com/sports/columnist/hiestand-tv/2007-10-01-hiestand-weekend_N.htm?csp=34 TBS juggles broadcast teams after Mets disappear The New York Mets' late-season collapse changed the on-air lineup for TBS, whose first-ever MLB playoff coverage includes all four first-round matchups. It made Mets local analyst Ron Darling available. He'll work the Chicago Cubs-Arizona series, with Dick Stockton, and frees analyst Bob Brenly, who had been scheduled to work with Stockton, to form a three-man booth with Chip Caray and Tony Gwynn. That team will call the New York Yankees-Cleveland series and then the National League Championship Series coverage. (Fox will broadcast the ALCS and World Series.) Ted Robinson and Steve Stone will call the Los Angeles Angels-Boston series. Red Sox local announcer Don Orsillo and Joe Simpson will call Monday's San Diego-Colorado tiebreaker — which will go head-to-head in prime time with Monday Night Football on ESPN, which no longer covers the MLB postseason — and then the winner's series against Philadelphia. But, TBS executive producer Jeff Behnke says, those assignments were simply based on geography. With tiebreaker locations unclear, he says, staffers and gear began heading to Denver and Philadelphia from a Houston staging ground Saturday. Orsilla and Simpson followed their production teams to Monday's game in Colorado.
Key injuries in Red Sox-Angels series Tim Wakefield, Bartolo Colon, and Gary Matthews Jr. will all miss the series.
D'Backs win 3-1 :sad: So tommorow's games are pretty much must wins for Chicago and Philly (especially for Philly, with them losing at home)
FFFS, why pull Zambrano there? OK, we need him for game 4, but we could have been 1-0 up and needing two from four, we could've worked game 4 out at the time. Now we're right up against it. Forfeiting a win today for a possible win some time in the future is crazy.
Sigh, yes they will. Piniella specifically said he took him out after just 85 pitches so he could come back on 3 days rest. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/baseball/mlb/specials/playoffs/2007/10/04/cubs.zambrano.ap/
I live in Mesa, AZ but I like the Cubs......they train here in the Spring.........the Cubs are done...put a fork in them.
Walkoff 3 run shot for Manny, and the Red Sox win 6-3 :sad: Wow talk about an uncompetitive first round so far; all 4 series are at 2-0
