Add Nuggets, Wolves To Conference Semifinals Lore

This has been an instant classic series without an instant classic game. It has seemingly been over twice and now we get to watch two superduperstars on supremely well-constructed teams in a Game 7.

The Wolves Owned All 4,700 Basketball Squares

by John Wilmes

Minnesota's defensive effort in Game 2 was a transformative sight. In what appeared to be an effort to become one with their team name, they swarmed, smashed, hounded, snarled, took, and destroyed for 24 straight minutes to start the game. Not an inch of the court was safe.

It'd be nice to score some runs at some point, come on Lee.

We watched the tragedy unfold. We did as we were told, we bought and sold. It was the greatest show on Earth...but then it was over.

I don't understand how Brian Moehler has remained in the league for over 12 seasons. He's one of the worst starting pitchers I've seen in MLB.

Keppinger HOMERUN TODAY

Our offense looked pretty good, why can't our pitching cooperate?

Yea he was somewhat decent for us last season but this was definitely not a good way to start the new year. I was pleased by our pitching overall in this series though, with the exception of Moehler's start(8 of their 11 runs scored were in the first 2 innings that he pitched). The first 2 games our pitching looked good(Oswalt wasn't amazing but he gave us a quality start and I'm not concerned about him).

It was nice to see our offense get some things going as well, if only we had gotten a quality start from our pitching.

Oh well. On to St. Louis to sweep the Cardinals!
