Guest Smues Report post Posted October 2, 2005 Wild pitch makes it 6-4 Houstin, I think the chances of that one game playoff are pretty much gone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a feeling Smoltz's shoulder is much worse then they're letting on. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> We'll most likely be facing Pettite Clemens and Oswalt.

Not two. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Given how horrible Houston's offence is, I think the Jones' can get us one win, especially if Smoltz or Hudson can go 7 or 8. I'm just waiting for Jorge Sosa to have his one bad start. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mike546 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2005 And if we have the same playoff teams as in 2004 (with CWS in Minny's place), why's that so bad? The 2004 playoffs were one of the greatest I've seen since I started watching the sport. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I thought 03 was one of the best really. Beside the amazing Yankee/Sox series, and the great Cubs/Marlins series, you had the terrific Marlins/Giants series which ended with a Giant getting throw out at the plate.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2005 People should still remember that Cleveland wasn't pegged to even contend until next season. Terrible ending, but I'd say they have the brightest outlook of just about any team in the AL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bob_barron 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2005 I don't know who to trust besides Farnsworth. Reitsma is horrible and Foster has faded down the stretch. Boyer is hurt and sucked today. I like Horacio, but he's too inconsistent. Ditto Davies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Okay, because I'm really hoping somehow that happens again. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I remember that but they didn't really back in. Also the Braves still had Glavine and Maddux and Millwood, and Houstin didn't have Petite and Clemens. Edit: They also won 4 of their last 5 games that year. As opposed to this year where we lost 5 of the last 6. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
