No, NaCler, you don't have to ask. :)

I watched it. And will likely watch it again when they re-air it. I might even purchase the DVD.

Still gives me chills. Around here, that series is right up there with USA/USSR in Lake Placid.

Nedd more cowbell... :lol: Too funny NaCler!!! I just heard about the "plaid" thing too...

At this point, I don't really have anyone to root for. A friend of mine is a Twins fan, so for now I'm rooting for them.

I'm an AL gal, however if the Yankees win the ALCS, I'll root for the NL!

I'm not able to watch any games right now, but I just got a breaking news alert...

"Roy Halladay has thrown the second no-hitter in postseason history, leading the Philadelphia Phillies over the Cincinnati Reds 4-0 in Game 1 of the NL division series on Wednesday."


Gotta give the guy props...even if I don't root for the Phillies.

It was an incredible performance. There wasn't anything even close to a hit. Usually there's a play at some point where a guy gets robbed by a nice play. Not here. You got the feeling that the game could've gone another five innings and Cincinnati still would be trying for their first hit.
