sfaJack 0 Report post Posted September 25, 2003 Wow! Shawn Estes throws a complete game shutout??? When did we enter the Bizarro World? Cubs should go at least 3-1 over their last 4....that's gonna make it really hard on the Astros to catch up. Hmmm....maybe I better start chilling the champagne.

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2003 Well Mik, looks like your team is taking the Wild Card. Congratulations. No our milk here. We had to beat the Marlins to win, and we didn't make it. There's always next year. A few independant thoughts about the Marlins.... -The best move they ever made was getting Jeff Torberg out of there. He was a cancer to the pitching staff, and if they kept him Josh Beckett and Brad Penny would have doubtless joined AJ Burnett on the DL. -Ivan Rodriguez has rejuvenated his career in a big way. He's on his way to a big contract, and the HOF. -Every move the Marlins made (I-Rod, Urbina, Conine, Juan Pierre) went the Marlins way. That's unusual for any team.

JangoFett4Hire 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2003 Bored- to quote Mikey from the Goonies... "This is OUR TIME!" Sox will win the ALDS in 5 games, meet up with the Yanks in the ALCS, beat them in 5 games, and meet the Cubs in the World Series. Unfortunately, the asteroid that is supposed to collide with Earth in 2014 will arrive 11 years too early, and we will all cease to exist... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bored 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2003 What time is the Jays' first playoff game? What position does Ortiz play? DH isn't a real position. Oh and no amount of arguing for Ortiz will convince me that he is the best player on the Red Sox. I think that's at least one qualification the winner of the MVP should meet even ahead of playing on a contender. Hell I'd vote A-Rod for MVP before I'd vote Ortiz.

treble 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2003 Seriously, though, Delgado's leads the majors in RBI (141), is tied for 2nd in the AL in HRs with Frank Thomas at 41, is 1st in OBP AND OPS and 3rd in slugging percentage. Also, if anyone is playing the A-Rod 'you don't have to play for a contender' card, Delgado has better numbers across the board than Rodriguez AND plays for a better team. I had my doubts over the past few weeks, but now, Delgado's my MVP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EVIL~! alkeiper 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2003 That's exactly how they'll go. I believe the Cubs have gone the longest without REACHING the World Series.
