2008 CFOD PLAYOFF PREVIEW Round 1 Playoff - Mechan Syndicate (94-68, Mantle Division Winner) vs. San Francisco Shriners (92-70, MK Conference Wildcard) These two teams battled it out for control of the Mantle division all season. The Shriners were in the lead until the final days of the season, when the Syndicate had a last minute burst to capture the pennant. Now both teams face each other in the opening round of the playoffs. The big bat for the Shriners this season was Aubrey Huff, who hit 35 home runs, hit .325, scored 92 runs and drove in 99. Brian Roberts swiped 48 bases and scored 111 runs, while Jason Bay smacked 29 dingers and drove in 96 home runs. Adrian Gonzalez was responsible for 26 home runs of his own. Johan Santana was his usual stellar self, going 16-7 with a 3.22 ERA. Dave Bush went 12-8 with a 3.39 ERA. Dan Wheeler had 24 saves with a 3.53 ERA. Known in the past for their brutalizing hitters' lineup, the Syndicate of '08 had a little more refined. David Wright did provide some punch in the middle of the lineup, hitting 33 home runs with 117 runs scored and 94 RBI. Nick Markakis sported a .419 on base average with 111 runs scored and 85 RBI. Adam Dunn had 26 home runs and 79 RBI. What really carried the Syndicate this year was their pitching (3.66 average team ERA). Dan Haren went 16-8 with a 3.33 ERA, while Zach Greinke went 11-10 with a 4.14 ERA. Closer Grant Balfour saved 25 games with a 1.00 ERA. In 12 regular season games, the Syndicate won the series with the Shriners 8 games to 4. The Syndicate have home field advantage due to their pennant winning status. ******************************************************************* GAME ONE -- Shriners (Santana) at Syndicate (Haren). Johan Santana pitched admirably, giving up 4 hits and 2 runs over 7 innings. But he was no match for Dan Haren, who threw the league's first ever playoff no-hitter, striking out 8 batters in the process as the Syndicate blanked the Shriners 2-0 in game one of their opening series.

The Shriners could breathe a sigh of relief that they would not be no-hit for two games in a row when Brian Roberts hit a 2-out single in the first. They would also be relieved that they would not be shut out for two straight games when Adrian Gonzalez smacked a 2-run home run in the 3rd inning. The Syndicate would cut San Francisco's lead to one in the bottom of the inning with a solo home run by Chris Young. The score would remain 2-1 heading into the bottom of the 9th. Octavio Dotel was on the mound for the Shriners. First batter up, Akinori Iwamura, singled. David Wright struck out for out #1. Markakis singled to put 2 batters on. Adam Dunn grounded out, putting 2 outs on the board and moving the runners to third and second. Matt Joyce was intentionally walked to load the bases with 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th with the Syndicate down by 1. Dotel faced Kurt Suzuki, who was .258 vs right handed pitchers this year. A single could very well win the game for the Syndicate. But it was not to be. Suzuki struck out, ending the game. The Shriners win game 2 by a score of 2-1.

Syndicate (Baker) at Shriners (Marcum).

In the 2nd inning, Mechan Pitcher Scott Baker helped his own cause, smacking a 2-out double, scoring Troy Tulowitzki and Chris Young. 2-0 Syndicate. In the bottom of the inning, Jason Bay singled, moved to third on a Kosuke Fukudome double, and cut the Syndicate lead to 1 when he scored on a Hunter Pence sacrifice fly. 2-1 Syndicate after 2. The pitchers' duel continued to the bottom of the 9th, with the Syndicate up 2-1. Grant Balfour was on the mound for the Syndicate. First batter up, Fukudome, struck out. Pinch hitter Jason Kubel singled up the middle. On came pinch runner Eugenio Velez who proceeded to be caught in a rundown and tagged out at second. 2 outs. Nate Schierholtz singled, putting the tying run on base. Now it was up to Marco Scutaro. But the Shriner rally would end here. Scutaro flied out to right, ending the game. The Syndicate win game 3 by a score of 2-1.

-- Syndicate (Greinke) at Shriners (Cueto). Nothing but good pitching in this series so far. Would game four continue the trend? In the top of the 2nd, with a runner at third, Troy Tulowitzki put the first 2 runs of the game on the board thanks to a 2-run home run. The Syndicate extended their lead in the 4th when Nick Markakis hit a leadoff solo home run. The Shriners would score 2 runs in the 5th and 6th inning, but the Syndicate added 3 more of their own in the 6th to make it 6-2 Mechan after 6. Normally, this would be the point in the game where the team with a 4-run lead would hold the other team at bay for the rest of the game. Not this game. In the bottom of the 7th, the first two batters reached base, and Hunter Pence brought them both home with a 2-RBI single. 6-4 Syndicate. Jason Kubel grounded out, but advanced Pence to second. Pinch hitter Nate Schierholtz was plunked by a pitch, putting 2 runners on base. Hubrey Huff cleared them right up, smacking a 2-RBI triple. 6-6 ballgame. Neither team would score for the rest of regulation, and the contest would continue into extra innings. In the top of the 10th, Octavio Dotel was pitching for the Shriners. First batter up, David Wright, hit a ball to Jason Bay, who badly mishandled it. Wright wound up at seconc on the error. Nick Markakis sac bunted Wright to third, and Adam Dunn sac flied Wright home. Syndicate took the 7-6 with the unearned run. In the bottom of the 10th, Ramon Ramirez was pitching for the Syndicate, nursing the 1 run lead. First batter up, Aubrey Huff, flied out. Brian Roberts struck out. 2 outs on the board. Adrian Gonalez prolonged the game, hitting a single to put a runner up base. The next batter up was Jason Bay. Bay, whose costly error in the top of the inning may have cost the Shriners the game if he could not redeem himself in this at bat. So what does Bay do? Clutch home run. 2 run home run, and the Shriners win it in the last at bat. San Francisco wins game 4 by a score of 8-7.

******************************************************************* GAME FIVE -- Syndicate (Haren) at Shriners (Santana). The first time Johan Santana and Dan Haren met head to head, the result was a pitchers duel. This time around, not so much. Both starters struggled as the hitters enacted a little payback, with the game being 4-4 after 3 innings. In the top of the 6th inning with 1 out, Kurt Suzuki singled. Dan Haren hit a grounder to Aubrey Huff, who misplayed the ball. Safe at first and second. Dan Wheeler came on in relief of Santana. Chris Young singled to load the bases with 1 out. Asdrubal Cabrera hit a sacrifice fly to give the Syndicate the 5-4 lead. The game remained 5-4 heading into the bottom of the 9th inning. The Shriners were at bat. Jason Kubel and Marcus Thames generated 2 quick outs. Chris Coste walked to put the tying run at first. Jonathan Broxton came on in relief to face Nate Schierholtz. Would Schierholtz be able to conjure up a Shriner miracle for two games in a row? Not today. Schierholtz grounded out to second, ending the game. The Syndicate win game 5 by a score of 5-4, and are a win away from advancing to the MK conference finals.

Shriners (Bush) at Syndicate (Dempster). The Shriners were one loss away from elimination; the Syndicate 1 win away from advancement. In the third inning, with 2 outs, Aubrey Huff walked and scored on a double by Brian Roberts. In the bottom of the 4th inning, the Syndicate tied it up with a solo home run by David Wright, and moved ahead when Nick Markakis hit a solo home run back to back. 2-1 Syndicate. Like most of the other games in this series, it would head to the 9th inning with the score separated by a single run. The Syndicate were up 2-1, and were 3 outs away from advancing to the conference finals. Jesse Carlson was pitching for the Syndicate. First batter up, Marcus Thames, struck out. Pinch hitter Chris Coste flied out. 2 outs. All that separated the Shriners from 2008 oblivion was pinch hitter Aaron Rowand. But the Syndicate pitching was too much. Rowand struck out, ending the game and the Shriners season. The Syndicate win game 6 by a score of 2-1, and advance to the MK conference finals.
