Damn, I seriously didn't know the Yanks could clinch with just 1 win......the radio station I listen to had been going on all week about how the Yanks/Sox would have a Monday AL East playoff game if the Sox won 2 and the Yanks won 1, obviously that was wrong The people at that station must be retarded
Anyways, assuming the Sox get the WC, they'll be playing the ChiSox....I honestly like their chances more than the Yanks' against the Angels, but still I think we're headed for a 3rd straight Yanks/Sox ALCS Onto NL matters, I'll be the first to admit that I thought the Mets had enough to take the NL East this year (that, combined with an unwillingness to not rank them at the top because of bias). It didn't happen (obviously) but at least they are still better than they have been in years...the goods outweighed the bads. I can only imagine where they'd be now if they had those wins back that Looper and the 'pen blew (I can think of at least 15 offhand) I'm already looking forward to seeing what they do this offseason. I think they need one more decent bat and they should pursue Billy Wagner or BJ Ryan to close. They were going to go after Paul Konerko at 1B...but Mike Jacobs eliminated the need to do that (thank fuck, I don't want Konerko). I'm also thinking Beltran will be MUCH better next year...it even took A-Rod a year to adjust to NY. Gonna cry during Piazza's last AB tomorrow Last edited by Evil Vito; 10-01-2005 at 07:02 PM. |

If Cleveland won today and tomorrow and the sox win tomorrow, it would have been a 3way tie forcing 2 playoff games. Now, the Yanks have the divison, the sox get the WC with a win or a clevland loss. Sox loss & Clev Win = playoff for the wildcard. AL is gonna be a good race, but don't see any of them beating Stl this year. |

Your team has won crap once in 86 years which is pretty amazing considering the incredible teams and players they have had an all the times they've screwed it up. Maybe when we can afford to buy Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Keith Foulke and Pedro Martinez we'll have a chance.
The discussion was about the Yankees and Red Sox, I gave my opinion. What do the Mariners have to with anything? The Red Sox blew a big lead and now can't win the East, whether I like the Mariners or the Yankees doesn't change my right to express an opinion. You think because the team you like is the best team you can just say "well your team is shitty" like a 1st grader instead of debating on the issue. Boring. My dad could beat up your dad, VEL. |

St Louis hasn't played that great down the stretch. I think Carpenter has lost the CY to Willis because he hasn't pitched all that great in the last couple of weeks eathier. They are very vulnerable right now. I'm more scared of the Angles for some reason.

I was hoping the Tribe would keep on coming strong, what the hell has happened to them? I'm sorry Boston fans, but I'm tired of the Red Sox. Spare me your opinions, it would change my mind.

"the blew it" well, if they make the WC they didn't, they still make the playoffs, in the same spot they won the WS last year. Yeah, 1 WS in 86 years, how many did the Mariners have? Have they ever even been to the WS? It's like a game last year when the Devil Rays fans started chanting 1918, yeah, when you win one you get to talk. Mariners, 3 div titles, 4 post season appearances since 1977. Red Sox, 4 dic titles, 8 post season apperances, 2 AL Pennents and 1 WS, since 1977. Yeah, the sox had good teams before and lost to good teams. How did the sox screw up? "Buy" Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Keith Foulke and Pedro Martinez? Manny was a big price free agent, same with Foulke. Pedro was via a trade. Ortiz was a free agent, but it wasn't big, no one wanted him at the time, it was Manny who told the sox to go get him. Anyway Wiz, nothing's "blown" yet, a sox win or cleveland loss and the Sox get the WC, same spot they won the WS from last year. Don't worry, maybe next year will be seattle's year. |

You Boston people don't understand how cocky you are, seriously. You've had your fair share of good teams in the past couple years, we get it, but that doesn't mean they are the best ever.

Really, what is it that makes you so confident that Seattle always blows and Boston is always amazing? In fact, Seattle has the second best young pitcher (Lariano is better ) to go along with a lineup that includes Ichiro, Beltre, Sexson, and a bunch of young guys. Eddie Guardado is as good if not better then Timlin and Foulke. Based on the natural progression the Mariners will be right back on top within a couple years, and thats a lot cooler then buying players and still not dominating.

A. Montreal GM: Man, this Pedro kid just isn't doing it. He's hit his prime, there's really no use for him now. Boston GM: Yes! Now I can unload career #4 starters Carl Pavano and Tony Armas Jr. for the best pitcher in baseball! What a sly GM I am! B. Montreal GM: Shit, Pedro is 25 now and everybody knows he's the next big thing. When his contract expires he's going to ask for $10 mil+ so I better trade him now or I'll get nothing when he becomes a FA. Boston GM: Horray for money! I love when Yankees/Red Sox fans argue that trades mean that the players weren't bought. Do you think the Expos could've paid Pedro 13 million dollars a year? Quote:

This is clearly the dumbest thing you've ever said. We're not cocky, we're winning, the winners get to be winners. Plain and simple. I'd a life long, die hard pats fan. During the Macphearson/Rust years I had little to cheer about, now I have plenty to cheer about. Look athe Bulls fans before the run, during and after, same deal. It has nothing to do w/ being cocky and Miz is clueless when he says "Well, my team isn't as good so my opinion doesn't count" That's crap, his opinion does count, stats, facts, etc... but saying "you blew it" yeah, we didn't win the Divison but still might make the playoffs. If you're going to state facts, like his MVP argument that's fine, and he's right on the stats are very close (of course somehow in his head this means that on Hafner can be MVP, so once again he accuses me of not letting him have an opinion while he's the one doing that to me, when I say I'd make Ortiz MVP over Hafner). It's when people start talking smack about a team that is much better then their team. Sorry, don't get to dot that. Win some games etc... then you get the right to "talk smack" |

See, here's a perfect example. You broke down the stats, I wasn't originally aware of the injury, if you break down the stats with the injury taken into account their numbers are close. Yet, I pick Ortiz for MVP and "It's the stupidest thing you ever said" you pick Hafner and it's somehow the right vote? The stats are close, so it's an opinion question. Yet only your opinion seems to count. |

Anyway, the difference between you and Miz is he understands stats, he can read stats and understands 100>50 etc... You can't seem to do this, you just put your fingers in your ears and go "la-la-la peyton-peyton-peyton la-la-la". Then when asked for stats you pull out meaningless ones, or don't account for things like being in the league more years. |

VEL, remember last year right around this time, you were at Fenway Park with a paper bag over your head. You wrote something like "Who's my daddy?" on said bag... you're not even a real RedSox fan, a real RedSox fan wouldn't do that. But that's just like you, you're a front runner, banwagonjumper type fan. I don't doubt the RedSox are your favourite team, but you really don't give two shits, as long as you can talk smack in one form or another.
You sure show yourself as a shitty fan a lot of the times. |

1. Ortiz has better stats than Hafner. 2. Hafner hasn't been there all year to help his team. The first one is untrue and the second one is ridiculous. In my mind, A-Rod is the MVP and Ortiz and Hafner are close but I give a slight edge to Hafner. If you think Ortiz is MVP that is fine as long as you back it up with a valid argument. If you want to pick Bartolo Colon for Cy Young, fine, but if you want to pick Colon because he could beat Johan Santana in a game of chinese checkers, that's stupid. |
