EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 Hey is Kenny Lofton a HOFer? He's getting to 2500 hits, has over 600 SBs, and has an OBP of .372 over his career. He's a 6 time all-star, and 4 time gold glove winner. Lofton's an interesting case. He had a handful of great seasons, and has now stuck around as a good player into his early 40s. Lofton only finished in the top ten in MVP voting once though, and it's tough envisioning a player without the MVP votes making the Hall. On the subject of Lofton, it's amazing that we've only had two Lofton-less postseasons since the strike. He's been in the playoffs for six different teams (maybe that's a record). The first inning will be over by the time James Taylor finishes the lineup. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 Since they mentioned Ortiz's postseason so far. Surprisingly Ortiz's ALDS was not the best postseason hitting performance of all time. Gary Roenicke of the Baltimore Orioles hit .750 in the 1983 ALCS. Five walks, a double and home run gave him an OBP of .900 and a slugging percentage of 1.750. Roenicke followed up the ALCS performance with an 0 for 7 against the Phillies in the World Series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treble 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 The funny thing is that Lofton hasn't won a World Series, you'd think he would have lucked into one eventually. And look at his 3 years from 2002 thru 2004: 2002 - 8 outs away from winning it all with the Giants 2003 - Cubs, we all know what happened there 2004 - Blows 3-0 with the Yankees Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanadianChris 0 Report post Posted October 14, 2007 This is ridiculous, no way is this game over before midnight. This is why I hate the postseason as presented by the current television partners. There is absolutely no reason why the games can't start at 7:00 or 7:30. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is absolutely no reason why the games can't start at 7:00 or 7:30. Especially in the east. 7th inning at 11:25. I'm setting the DVR till 3am and maybe I'll catch the end of it that way.
