Dude when the crappy Mets win they seem to be in love with that team

You didn't have to go through 1986 with that team being in your market


As for the Cubs

There is no way there going to pay A-Rod that kind of money each year

Hell they don't even spend to make this team championship caliber each year

They would have to really raise the prices at Wrigley to pay A-Rod

Remember Wrigley holds about 33,000 compared to the 55,000 that Yankee Stadium holds

Plus he said he wants to stay in the AL

[Baseball Tonight]

It's official. The Yankees are in the playoffs, so we know all the 4 AL teams in the playoffs (only question is who will end up with better record, Indians or Red Sox?)

Meanwhile in the NL, nothing's decided yet.

[Whisper]

Yanks win 3-1 over Rays
Sox lose 5-4 against Twins.

Sox 2 games up, 3 games left.

This is gonna be a close one...

[Bonger]

Well, looks like the AL playof picture is all set unless the Sox get swept, which seems unlikely.

Indians vs. Yankees

Sox Vs. Angels

My ALCS prediction:

Sox vs Yanks

The NL picture is a mess though huh? Mets fans have GOT to be ready top jump out the window.

[Wheeljack35]

Yanks win 3-1 over Rays
Sox lose 5-4 against Twins.

Sox 2 games up, 3 games left.

This is gonna be a close one...

I think Torre isn't even thinking about the Division and I don't trust the Twins to sweep Boston

Its going to a great weekend and I hope the Phillies can win the the NL East

[Whisper]

Boston clinch AL East title.





I feel dirty now...

[Wheeljack35]

Have I mentioned how much I hate Boston?

[Wheeljack35]

I found this on nypost.com

I applaud whoever it was that played Weird Al Yankovic and came up with this wonderful parody of "Meet the Mets" which made its way around the Internet yesterday morning faster than a Britney Spears YouTube clip:

Beat the Mets, beat the Mets,

Last place teams defeat the Mets.

Hanging sliders, minor-league speed, guaranteed to waste a seven-run lead.

Because the Met bullpen keeps fading away, October baseball won't be at Shea. Mota . . . Sosa . . . every game is now in doubt.

Can anyone who's on this staff get three men out?


I love it because I have never liked that ridiculous song

[Whisper]

Ok, English guy here so I hope somebody could explain this:

Arizona Diamondbacks have supposedly clinched the NL West division, with two games to play due to San Diego Padres losing tonight (1.5 games behind as I write this)

That said, as I write this, the D-Backs are getting clobbered by Colorado (11-1, six innings in). If that scoreline stands, then Arizona will only be 1 game ahead of San Diego, with 1 game each still left to play.

Should the Padres win and Arizona lose on Sunday, that ties up the division, right?

Arizona has definitely clinched a playoff berth regardless, but wouldn't they and San Diego have to play off on Monday should they both have the same results?

[Wheeljack35]

um ok

I know they have to play monday if there was a tie

But i'm concentrating on th NL East as I want to see the Phillies win

Plus the NL West is too confusing for me to comprehend since I care nothing for that division

[Whisper]

um ok

I know they have to play monday if there was a tie

True, but if that is the case, then why have Arizona been crowned NL West champions?

[Wheeljack35]

If there tied for first they will be playing for the division and home feild advantage

The loser will be the wild card winner and won't have home feild advantage through out the playoffs or the World Series because since the AL won the All Star game they get the homefeild advatage in the World Series

The Dbacks did clich a playoff berth meaning there in but at this point as what the wild card winner or the Division champ

[Whisper]

I forgot about the tie-break rule.

Turns out that if both the Division and Wild Card titles are up for grabs by two teams from the same division, it then goes on series wins. Arizona beat San Diego 10-8 over the season, hence why the D-Backs have been given the NL West...

Normally I hate to double post, but...

METS CHOKE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

x 1,000,000

[Wheeljack35]

Normally I hate to double post, but...

METS CHOKE AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

x 1,000,000

My sentiments exactly

The 78 Yanks are known for the greatest comback ever now the 07 Mets will be known for the biggest failure ever

[muswp1]

The tie-breaker game between the Rockies and the Padres should be fun to watch tonight.

[Prowl76]

Yankees are in the playoffs. Look out Cleveland.

[Wheeljack35]

Yankees are in the playoffs. Look out Cleveland.

I feel confident of the Yankees chances

I felt confident last year vs Detroit and looked what happened

[Baseball Tonight]

Man, it was insane watching the Mets collapse like this. It was like they saw it coming but could do nothing to stop it.


Anyway, no more Sean Casey (aka "The Mayor" or "nicest guy in baseball" in a Tigers uniform in 2008. Tigers let him know that his services were no longer needed next year, with Carlos Guillen moving over to first base.

[Wheeljack35]

The Mets couldn';t get themslves going and a couple of the players have the nerve to say they were better then Philly?

[Kimmer]

damn, whats with all the mets haters here? the mets ARE better than philly and i'm not just saying that cause i'm a lifelong mets fan. the mets collapsed, choked, imploded, and gave the division away. their lineup is better, pitching is way better, bullpen is better and the manager is way better. they just struggled at the wrong time in the season. i live in the philly arae and the phillies are just over-achieving. they're not this good and it will show in the playoffs. all they have is offense. their pitching is terrible and the bullpen is even worse. no pitching+playoffs=early exit.

[Wheeljack35]

Not as good?

Whos going home? Who's going to the playoffs

The Phillies were hungry and if the Mets were any good they would of overcame this daze they were in and actually won the damn thing

[Wheeljack35]

[B4ULoveShine]

As expected, Red Sox owned and pwn'd the Angels. >_> I'm already expecting the Angels getting swept again by the Red Sox, three years after the 2004 ALDS encounter.

[Whisper]

Methinks the Yankees have forgotten how to **** hit...
