Postseason Participant Profiles

Mets – Willets Point Sep 28 2013 07:43 PM

I posted this idea in the KTE thread, but Frayed Knot suggested I start a new thread to get more attention. The basic idea is to write something similar to a KTE for all the teams in the postseason so as to prepare us for viewing these games. If you wrote a KTE for one of the teams in the playoffs it would probably be pretty easy to just update it for the postseason. Of course there are some teams that the Mets didn't play this season which would require some more research. I'll be happy to take one of those teams, the Red Sox, since I have some hometown knowledge. Frayed Knot has also offered to write up something for one of the teams. So we'll need 8 more volunteers, or if we can wait until the Wild Card games are played and then we'll only need 6 volunteers.

I tried that in 2006, after posting the MFY one that took me into the wee hours of the morning I got a few...lets say cease and desist responses for my project.

This is the thread that Steve is referring to.

That was hilarious to read, thanks Steve. I'll do a KTE.

KC almost sounds like the voice of reason. Don't see that too often any more!

Now I can do a baseball card thread for the AL playoff teams that didn't play the Mets this season.

I'll take the Doyers.

Zvon Sep 30 2013 08:33 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

So umps suck all over the game. Not just Met games. That's nice to know.

Zvon Sep 30 2013 09:03 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

This is interesting. MLB.TV carries the game and they allow you to choose which camera you want to view the action though. Individually or 4 at once. Five cameras total.

Zvon Sep 30 2013 09:23 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

The Rays move on.Texas folds. 5-2

Mets – Willets Point Sep 30 2013 09:26 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

The field is set, for MLB at least. We need 2 to 4 more people to get this thing going. Mets - Willets Point: Red Sox Kong76: Pirates Frayed Knot: TBD metirish: TBD Steve Rogers: TBD LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr: Dodgers

Frayed Knot Sep 30 2013 09:44 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

If this thing does indeed get off the ground I'll take the Cardinals. And the only problem with taking the Pirates is that they're not assured of getting beyond the one game. Whoever wants them should be prepared to take the Reds if they win the WC game.

John Cougar Lunchbucket Oct 01 2013 07:49 AM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

I'm taking the A's

I have to renege on my assignment. I have an unexpected appointment this afternoon and will not get to it.

metirish Oct 01 2013 09:20 AM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

Willets can assign me a team.

Mets – Willets Point Oct 01 2013 09:22 AM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

I think we'll just wait until we have the results of the play-in games and can start posting these on Wednesday and Thursday.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2013 11:47 AM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

Braves file roster for Division Series. No Uggla.

SteveJRogers Oct 02 2013 01:53 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

I need to hit up Foley's in NYC for some Iron City Beer (they have some ties down there, and are a big Penquin/Steeler bar during the winter)...

Zvon Oct 02 2013 05:56 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

Wow. Uggla dropped from the Braves post season roster.

Edgy MD Oct 02 2013 07:25 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

That's a heckuva lot of players to share with an AL West team. I like the Ed Charles card. Had no idea that KC wore red.

Mets – Willets Point Oct 02 2013 08:14 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

Lunchbucket's already claimed the A's.

Zvon Oct 02 2013 08:31 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

Using that photo for Ronnies baseball card is just cruel.

Mets – Willets Point Oct 02 2013 10:26 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

Okay, I assign the Braves to metirish. Rays and Tigers are still available. Get crackin'! John Cougar Lunchbucket: Athletics metirish: Braves Frayed Knot: Cardinals LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr: Dodgers Steve Rogers: Pirates [Your Name Here]: Rays Mets - Willets Point: Red Sox [Your Name Here] Tigers

Edgy MD Oct 02 2013 11:19 PM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

I guess I'll take the Hamilton Tigercats, but nothing tomorrow, as I have work to do. I'll try and knock something out tomorrow night.

Benjamin Grimm Oct 03 2013 06:31 AM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

Just don't stay up until 2 a.m. doing it. It might make you cranky.

metirish Oct 03 2013 06:43 AM Re: Postseason Participant Profiles

Can I request that you please pollute my KTE with cards?, some people might still be on dial up and that will sure make them happy.

Anyone know where to find actual postseason rosters? I can only find 40-man rosters and "projections."

I hear ya, usually it doesn't get updated until they play their first game.
