Slayer

But who will be this year's Scott Podsednik

Like I said with the NLCS, I think this is either a sweep or it goes the distance

Thread ruined Better start up World Series Thread 3: This Time, Al's Pissed

"There's only one World Series thread"

Yes. That is what it is. That was my joke. MarvinisaLulzkiller

I lawled

Hey, up yours, Leo! Up yours too, CowboyAOL

The Pats are already halfway to the '98 Vikings record point total of 556

When I said I wanted Mark Mangina to have a decent record so we could keep him around for all the unintentional comedy he provides, I didn't mean I wanted him to try and run the table dammit Not to mention that since they're winning and all, there hasn't been much comedy to be had other than just watching him earthquake up and down the sidelines

hey there

Did Coey have any run-ins with our other beloved Athens resident?

That's a rather tenuous connection there I would have ignored one simple misspelling, however three misspellings (defiently misspellings) of a rather key word to this whole thread combined with the context coming from said misspellings was just too good to pass up. Oh, lessons in CE thread derailing from Cheesy. Maybe if I threw in some gratuitous ad hominems instead?

Good lord, that's about... $22 bucks an hour Earlier this decade when I worked retail, my earnings peaked at $10 (appr £5) an hour

"Four pounds an hour? Piss off"

Not once Not twice Three times How did you guys let this one get away

The irony is that it is one of their best albums ever

Pro wrestling is such an anomalous industry that trying to draw any comparison between it and "real jobs" is laughable

Also, the potential for this series to echo the 2003 NLCS is uncanny (Florida won game 1 and then dropped three straight before Beckett won Game 5)

I still can't wrap my head around how Maiden approved that album cover, given their history of awesome album covers

The same "Jack" Westbrook who beat them in Game 3? Jon Lieber practically shut down the Sox in Game 2 of the 2004 ALCS and then got shelled in game 6, so past performance is not a guarantee of future results

Oh, their CE folder is awful, but it's a different kind of awful from this folder, so there's potential for a whole new experience

I had a real good laugh at this one

'76 Reds did it back when there was only the LCS, and the LCS was only a 5 game series, but they are the only ones to do it since the inception of the LCS No team has swept through since the 7-game LCS expansion or the Division Series expansion

Surely having the best defense in baseball has to count for something

I would certainly have no problem with the Rockies winning it all*, but after what happened with the Tigers last year with their near sweep through the pennant playoffs followed by a long rest period before the WS, I'm a bit more hesitant to put my money on them going all the way, though it would be amazing to see them possibly become the first team to sweep through the playoffs since the DS started (and only the second team since the '76 Reds to sweep through the playoffs since the LCS started) *albeit moreso if Boston fails to make the WS, which unfortunately creates a conundrum for me because I'd like to see the Indians (especially Lofton) get a championship as well
