Also, my friend thinks the Yanks are still gonna make the playoffs, winning every game the rest of the way whilst Boston loses, and then wind up with a Cubs/Yanks WS.
![]() To his credit, he said he would admit that baseball's fixed if that happened |

If ever there was a time that the Yankees should have won a World Series it was there, in 2001. They did not.

Pretty crazy night. Figured they'd do something but wasn't sure what they would do after the game. Glad they didn't lose though, would have sucked to be officially eliminated on that night.
The whole actors dressed up as legends just standing in CF for an hour was a little lame but the rest was great to see. Was pretty fitting to see Bernie come back for the first time in two years. It feels like the last game of the season for me now. Hard to fathom that we still have two series left. Hopefully it gets a little interesting and the Sox get swept by the Indians. Or at least lose tonight. |

The Mets just gave Omar Minaya a 4-year contract extension despite the team collapsing yet again.

And the Yankees are officially out of it. Gotta be honest, the way this season has gone its amazing they were still in it with so few games left to play. Can still look forward to Mussina hopefully getting win #20 on the last game of the season.

LOL Hank Steinbrenner is now whining about how the current divisional set up isn't fair. Funny, I doubt he would say a thing if his team didn't get eliminated. Hank seems to cry and call for a change in the game every time something doesn't go his way (like when Wang got hurt, clearly it was the NL's fault for making him hit!)
--- Anywho, Santana. 125 pitches to save the bullpen.Going to Wednesday's game. Perez vs. Zambrano...seems pretty one sided but Ollie's usually a big game pitcher, so we'll see. It's seemingly a 50/50 chance on if it's the last game I'll ever attend at Shea.

Can someone explain roster expansion to me? How many guys do they call up, when and how? Never understood it.

So in a nutshell, from September 1st until the end of the regular season, your team can be anywhere from 25 to 40 guys. It's a good way for teams out of the race to test out their top prospects since the minor league season ends in September. The 8 teams that make the postseason then have to get their roster back down to 25 for the playoffs and they can adjust their roster after each series. |

This Mets game tonight just about killed me. Easily the most exciting game I've ever seen live...and Delgado's grand slam has probably been the coolest live sports moment for me.
Yet....in the end it wound up being the most depressing loss I'd ever been in attendance for. Not being able to score the winning run against the worst reliever on the Cubs roster despite starting off with a leadoff triple...heartbreaking.

Dodgers got Furcal and kent back.
They are going to be lethal in the playoffs. if the brewers dont make the playoffs, the Cubs are the only team that has the pitching to succeed in the playoffs. |

God, with Furcal back.... Although he won't be a starter, he might play like half the game or something, dunno. I don't give a shit about Kent, he is a douchebag, and I will be glad to see him retire after this year. He can get some hits for us though while his bitchass is still around.
ANYWAY. Dodgers could wrap it up here in like 3 hours, if Arizona loses this game. |

Furcal gives them a great pinch runner at minimum.

Will be pissed though if Milwaukee gets the Wildcard. That means we would have to face the gay Cubs in the first round.

Rays fail to shut the door. This may go down to the last game.
Blue Jays fans rejoice, Cito Gaston is gonna stick around for another 2 years. |

Welp, I'm all but certain last night was my last ever game at Shea. I kinda wish they could get eliminated before Sunday so that the last game at Shea can at least be savored without a postseason berth looming.

Should be an interesting weekend. I think/hope that Lou Piniella is well aware that the Mets are the easiest possible first round matchup because of their bullpen (and his team has just seen everyone in the bullpen and blasted them)...and so for that reason, I hope he plays to win each game this weekend to try and help the Mets in.
