Guest GreatOne Report post Posted October 2, 2004 Man without the A's making excuses for why they couldn't win that third game these playoffs are gonna be different than the last few. Guess I can put the 'They got ALCS in their name and they still can't spell it' jokes away now................ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Anglesault Report post Posted October 2, 2004 How long until the Moneyball retorts really start flooding? It's gonna get messy. On one side, you'll have the anti-Money Ballers celebrating this loss and pointing out every time in the season someone could have bunted. On the flip side, half the Moneyballers will close their eyes, stuff their ears and scream how this year was a smashing success. The other half will declare the regular season a crapshoot.

Slayer 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2004 Yes! Anaheim Angels: American League West Champions 2004! It's a celebration, bitch! Too bad the Red Sox will clobber them in the ALDS this week. It's not definitive yet. If Minnesota sweeps Cleveland tomorrow, Anaheim plays NY while Boston goes to Minnesota Personally I'd rather have it that way since Anaheim plays NY well but Boston plays well against Anaheim, so I'd like to see an Anaheim-Boston ALCS... Funny, I remember that happening before, sorta. Seems so long ago now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2004 Dodgers are down 3-0 bases loaded in the bottom of the 9th with 1 out, Choi at the plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2004 Giants walk in a run, 3-1, Izturis at the plate. Well there's no way he's hitting a grand slam, but he damn well better put the ball somewhere in the outfield. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest GreatOne Report post Posted October 2, 2004 I'll just say this, the playoffs got a helluva lot more interesting Sorry to beat a dead horse, Bored, but when the Mariners have as many wins as the A's do in Sept/Oct that's one more team that should be anywhere BUT the playoffs.

UZI Suicide 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2004 holy crap.. Izturis hits a routine grounder to the shortstop, game should be over, Cody Ransom MISSES the ball, Dodgers score, 3-2. Bases loaded, 1 out, Werth at the plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Man in Blak 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2004 Defensive replacement Cody Random duffs a ball, giving the Dodgers a run. And, inexplicably, Alou pulls the plug on Christiansen and brings in Matt Herges, to ensure that the Giants will at least go out in a blaze of glory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Smues Report post Posted October 2, 2004 LA gets 7 in the bottom of the 9th. Wow. And the best part was seeing mlb.com still have a photo of bonds and the title that said something about Bonds and Giants lead LA, even though right below it it has the 7-3 final score.

Hektik 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2004 Steve FUCKING Finley, You have got to be shittin me. DePodesta didn't pull the trigger on Finley, he was a hand wrapped gift from the Joe Garigiola Jr and the Arizona Diamondbacks. I can't stand LA winning the west.

Guest Smues Report post Posted October 2, 2004 And I just saw that mlb.com said Larry Bowa is toast. I'm glad, just for the fact that now I won't have to listen to the FIRE LARRY BOWA crowd everytime they lose 3 in a row. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slayer 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2004 I'll add to that MLB wants a NY-StL WS (just like the good ol' days) Fox wants a NY-LA WS (just like the good ol' days, but with higher ratings) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest GreatOne Report post Posted October 3, 2004 Actually I think with the exception of the Twins, cause at least with the Halos you can pimp Vlad, there's probably not a 'bad' (ratings-wise) team in the playoffs................ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted October 3, 2004 Fox just wants the Yankees to make the series, and play the Red Sox in the LCS so that they can show the Buckner clip four times a fucking game. Being a Red Sox fan, I'd love to see them in the World Series, obviously, but I don't want the Cardinals to be there playing them. I think the Cards could be the real deal.
