    If I can just somehow get to your bullpen, maybe, maybe I can get a couple hits off of you.  That pitching staff of yours is just sick!  And you likely won't see Allshouse in this series until game 3 or 4, bad news for me.  After Allshouse and Samuels, I'm not marching much talent out to the mound...

    Yeah, when I saw your series went the full five, I breathed a sigh of relief.  I'm just hoping the arson squad...er...bullpen remains well rested.  Your staff are no slouches either and our lineups match up well - should be a great series.  I'm just hoping the power comes back to my lineup - I had 4 guys hit more than 50 HRs in the regular season, but only one in the LDS!

    Good luck!

    Congrats on a great series!  Too bad my stud pitchers picked now to look human - and what was with the Halifax power outage?  Yikes.

    Good luck in the WS!

    Thanks!  Honestly, I'm pretty surprised by this result.  I did not expect to win this series.  I got two good outings from a pair of pitchers who had really been struggling, when I expected your lineup to be all over them.  I thought I would lose in six, not win in six.  I guess my pitching staff picked it up and got it done.  Definitely a very good series!  With an impressive set of young players, including a couple young stud starters, I have a feeling you'll be right back here next year.  :-)

    Congrats on a great year from Halifax!  If NY doesn't decline seriously next year (which could happen, based on the ages of my best players), we could have a good rivalry going here for a bit.  :-)

    300+ HRs in the regular season and I get almost completely shutdown in the playoffs - the old adage of offense wins games and defense wins championships strikes again! 

    Great series - though as a Red Sox fan, I had that uncomfortably familiar queasy feeling as a freakin' New York team overtook me down the stretch - only to face you again in the playoffs...with an all-too familiar result.  Aaarrghhh...

    Wait 'til next year!  And good luck again.
