EVIL~! alkeiper

So if Jones had held out one more year, she'd be safe. That sounds even sillier.

One thing I hate, people who write snarky lists that sound like they're better than everyone else. You're not clever, jackass.

I checked to see if that was from The Onion. Well in fairness, it worked last time.

Referring to Cheech, one of the problems was that the Twins did NOT trust their young starters, instead wasting starts on re-treads like Sidney Ponson. The alternative is instead giving that rotation spot to Kei Igawa or Mike Mussina. Is that really any kind of good solution? I say if three of the five best starters are Kennedy, Hughes and Chamberlain, let them pitch. Listening to XM Radio, again the usual bullshit thrown around is that they're not a TEAM. No, the big problem was that they had a three-man rotation and one of those guys was too injured to pitch. No team is going to win a championship that way.

A proud tradition that begins with Johnny Keane.

On the cusp of upsetting the Yankees? Dear god, the Indians had a better record!

No. Save that crap for the NHB folder.

About seven minutes after. The New York Yankees just can not play a f!#%&ing game efficiently.

Yes, unless he did it in the playoffs previously.

Mussina saved the Yankees in 2003. It'll be interesting if he does the same here.

Well the racial slur gives me a reason to toss NYankees for 24 hours. Chien-Ming Wang sucked. That is an indictment of his ability, not himself.

I think it would be fantastic. Im sure there would be good games, but from a National standpoint, any WS not featuring the Red Sox (or yankees) is going to be a ratings disaster for FOX. Fortunately, I don't own stock in Fox. And the success of Survivor, Fear Factor, well just about anything on television indicates that the average viewer is a fucking idiot.

I think it would be fantastic.

I did not intend for it to be an insult. The 1986 NLCS featured without question the greatest clinching game of all time. The 1982 ALCS was very good, decided by one run in the deciding game. I missed the 1985 ALCS, that again was a very good series. "Expansion" to me quite simply describes teams added after MLB elected to add more than the 16 original franchises that carried the leagues for sixty years. One way to change the definition is to say teams after the latest expansion cycle, which would include no such series. Oddly, there has never been a World Series between two expansion franchises.

Here's something. The Rockies/D'backs NLCS will be only the third league championship series contested between two expansion clubs. The others were the 1982 ALCS (Angels/Brewers) and the 1986 NLCS (Mets/Astros).

1 for 10, three strikeouts, two GIDP.

What an awful defensive play for Cleveland. You're up three, don't try and get the lead runner.

And this round has been as disappointing a round as I have ever seen. None of these series have even been competitive sweeps.

Forget about two-out runs. The Indians have outscored the Yankees 17-4, period.

Jeter is 1 for 9 now with three strikeouts. I hope the NY papers notice that while they roast A-Rod tomorrow.

Turner Classic Movies has quite a few baseball flicks this month. Tonight they have the original Bad News Bears at 8pm, followed by Safe At Home! (featuring Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle) at 10pm. At midnight they have Headin' Home, a 1920 movie starring Babe Ruth as himself!

Frank, I hate to break it to you, but there are thousands of Octobers. There is one every single year.

Hell, 30 minutes on a Saturday night isn't that bad a wait as it is.

By the way, as a non-fan I welcome the return of '80s Steinbrenner.

What crap. What is Torre supposed to do to ensure that his lights-out reliever doesn't blow up like in game two?
