Baseball

[Alfster]

So, now that the season's more than half way over...who do you think is going to win? I'll quote myself.


This will be the year of the Brewers.

Remember that quote during the playoffs

[Satira]

CUBS CUBS CUBS CUBS

[Alfster]

OH NO YOU DIDN'T

[Latrinsorm]

"I'm anxiously awaiting David Wright's monster comeback and the emergence of between one and three dynamite young pitchers for the Mets. I'm hoping our various quadrigenarians make it more or less through the season."

He's doin' AIIIIIIIIIIIGHT, but I nailed that pitcher thing. I kind of jinxed Alou into an exploding quad though. :(

HOWEVER

I still like the Mets all t3h way. Big series coming up VS. the aforementioned Brew Crew: I see the Mets taking 3 games IN A SWEEP (beginning with Glavine notching #300), putting the Cubs SQWARLY in first place in the Central.

[Satira]

OH YES I DID. CUBS FTW.

[Hulkein]

Rooting for the Phils (5 game winning streak) but they'll end up blowing it in typical Philadelphia fashion if they are still in it at the end of the season.

[Krendeli]

Yankees are a'coming!

[Umpyr]

the tribe will not make the mistake of falling apart and blowing their playoff hopes at the end of the season this year. hoping for at least a wildcard if they can't get past the tigers and the yankees cool off.

[TheEschaton]

Go BoSox.

Hopefully, after a long rest, we will have the old Pedro back. The killer Pedro of legend and not the one who made last place teams look like all stars.

[Anebriated]

Like Hulkien I still have hope for the sillies. I dont think itll happen either, Im saying the Tigers get it done again this year.

[crazymage]

Indians win the whole thing. (I'm a sox fan but Ortiz is banged up, Nancy Drew is hitting .245 with 6 hrs, Schillings a stupid asshole, Lugo's around .225 AFTER raising his avg 50 points in july...) Indians beat dodgers in 6 for WS. (I like Met's but your rotation is a joke, if you were A.L you'd be 5 games under .500)

[DeV]

OH YES I DID. CUBS FTW.Ugh, you elitist Cub fans make me want to do naughty things.

Between the Cubs and the Sox something good better happen dammit.

[Stanley Burrell]

I'm obviously rooting for the Washington Nationals.

[crazymage]

I'm obviously rooting for the Washington Nationals.

Seriously why even post in a thread if you have no interest in it, no one finds you fucking funny.

[Keller]

Ugh, you elitist Cub fans make me want to do naughty things.



Pictures or it didn't happen.

[stallion4]

Tribe all the way.

[Daniel]

CUBS!!!!!

Good job holding it down Satira.

[crazymage]

Cubies dont have the pitching to hold up in the playoffs, i dont 'think' Zambrano (a bad call away from a meltdown) Lilly would be solid, but everythings iffy past them.. Dumpster as closer???... Brewers win NL Central.

[Gan]

Have been and always will be a die hard Astros fan. Even when their chances of success are the farthest thing from reality as one could imagine.

[Sean of the Thread]

The Jay's still have an outside shot..

[Skeeter]

I gave up on my Reds in May :(

I like the Indians this year. Fausto = most improved player of the year.

[TheEschaton]

I only cheer for the Indians because the Buffalo Bisons (I know, redundant...or contradictory..or something) are their triple A farm team.

Otherwise I'm a BoSox fan.

[Alfster]

The Jay's still have an outside shot..

They have the talent

[Jessaril]

I've always been, and always will be a Twins fan to the core.

They've always got a shot because they can scout their own talent.

[Anebriated]

The Phillies are starting to drop like flies to the DL... I hope this trend stops, we got a division to win.

[Umpyr]

good luck with that, the braves win that thing every year. if they dont, the mets will.

[Anebriated]

Yeah, Mets won it last year but for the last few the Phils have made a late season push to make the playoffs anyway and fallen just short. This team is probably our best chance to get in and even win the division despite how well the Mets and Braves have been doing this year. If our pitching can play at the level they have been at since the all-star break then its ours to lose imo. 9-2 in last 11 games. Still have to play the Mets and Braves twice each yet this year though :(

[crazymage]

if utley comes back and iguchi can play 3rd phillies have a real shot, but their rotation is bad and so is the bullpen.

[Anebriated]

Yeah, luckily we can score enough runs that our bullpen escapes a lot of should be losses.

[Alfster]

I still like the Mets all t3h way. Big series coming up VS. the aforementioned Brew Crew: I see the Mets taking 3 games IN A SWEEP (beginning with Glavine notching #300), putting the Cubs SQWARLY in first place in the Central.

Gonna have to wait another week for that big number 300

[Latrinsorm]

Yeah, Feliciano is really puking all over himself recently. Not good.

Oh well, we can always sweep the Cubs. :D

[Alfster]

Yes, do that!

[Jessaril]

Man, all you bigmarket baseball team fans need to DIE!

Big market teams ruin baseball! Hopefully MLB gets it's head straigth and adds a salary cap, then we can watch the all these shitty GMs get fired.

[TheEschaton]

Yeah, BoSox, picking up Gagne.

[Jessaril]

Yeah, BoSox, picking up Gagne.

Gonna laugh when he ends up needing Tommy Johns next month.

He should just change his name to Eric "The Medical Bill" Gagne.

[Sean]

Go yanks.

[Jessaril]

Go yanks.

Die!

[Sean]

You should be focusing more on tending to Johan's hurt feelings than taking time out to wish death on me.

[Anebriated]

I dont know how I feel about the Yankees. I mean I sort of hate them for having the ability to buy any player they want but at the same time the Phillies do just as well for $100mil less a year.

[Hulkein]

Phillies have 25 less championships than the Yanks. The Phillies haven't made the playoffs since 1993; the Yankees haven't missed the playoffs since 1993.

Please don't compare our Pathetic Phillies to the Yankees.

PS. I understand you're referring to this season, but you have to look at the whole picture.

[Anebriated]

For $190 mil a season they should be in the World Series every year. For $90 mil a season eh, youre mid pack.

:twitch: The last stance Yankee fans take when they're losing an argument. I don't see Laker fans boasting about their team's championships. Either a team is good now or they're not. I respect they were great then, but they need to stick to the now, not 100+ years ago. By the same argument, the Mets can win 10 straight championships starting this year, and still have nothing on the Yankees.

[Jessaril]

Johan will be alright, not like there were any bats available other then the ridiculously overpayed tex.

The Yankees and Red Sox make all the case that should be required for a Salary cap on baseball.

[Sean]

Hulkein isn't a yankee fan he's a phillies fan...

The Marlins make all the case that should be required why a Salary Cap on baseball doesn't work.

[Sean of the Thread]

Man, all you bigmarket baseball team fans need to DIE!

I dunno it's kind of fun watching my smallest of the lil boys always throw wrenches at two of the top dogs.

At least that's always enjoyable to listen to spankee and botox fans cry when they get fucked by the rays.

I'm a Phillies fan and indifferent to the Yankees.

The Yankees haven't missed the playoffs since 1993, that is something worth mentioning because the current management has a hand in that.

A John Daniels could be successful with the amount of money they spend. And we know how much he sucks.

I was specifically responding to the assertion that the Phillies are just as good with 100 million less payroll. They aren't unless you're looking at what I believe is an unreasonably small part of the picture.

<3 John Daniels, GO BOSOX.

[Jessaril]

...I garantee you that John Daniels has more fans in Atlanta and Boston then he does here, even if I think Gagne is a bit an injury risk.

I wish I still lived in Minnesota, I hate living in a football stateas opposed to a baseball state.
