vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2006 If the Cubs were smart, they'd take a shot on Astros' bench coach Cecil Cooper. Coop would whip 'em into shape. The 'Stros are like...10-0 in games managed by Cooper. And he's non-caucasian, so there wouldn't be scandal, but the Cubs aren't smart. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

claydude14 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2006 As a White Sox fan, I'm glad to see the Tigers lose the division after having it all year. What an awesome game that was. Big up to the Royals. So instead of finishing in third place behind the Tigers and Twins, you finish in third place behind the Twins and Tigers. DEMANDING A WINNER LOL2007 Yea I got over the third place finish a while ago. Toughest division in the MLB, what can you do? Still finished with 90 wins, the best team not to make the playoffs and better than every NL team not named the Mets. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2006 You can tell whose teams made the playoffs and whose didn't here. I resigned myself to the Astros not making the playoffs about 4 to 6 weeks ago. This past week and a half were just the typical Houston sports teams' "glimmer of hope before getting squashed". I'm just referring to naiwf's inability to provide anything besides a seemingly Pavlovian response whenever anyone says either "Roger Clemens" or "Houston Astros". Wow, someone left the beloved Yankees. Shit happens, the world keeps on spinning. I'm not still bitching about Wagner trashing the Astros while still on the team before they shipped his dumb ass out of town. "Boo hoo, he said he was going to retire!" Yeah, no one in sports ever rethinks retirement because they can't give up the spotlight. I guess I'll just come in every day or so, post "I hate the New York Yankees, and [insert random player name here] is an asshole!" Then I'll fit in more.

Bruiser Chong 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2006 What an utter collapse by Detroit. Making the playoffs almost seems anti-climatic at this point. The division seemed like such a sure thing when the White Sox dropped out. Give credit to the Twins, but this was really a case of the Tigers just dropping the ball when they had everything in their favor. I was sure it was over when they had them loaded with one out in the 11th. Well, I guess I need to become a Tigers fan for the first round. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vivalaultra 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2006 Hey, CV, who gives a shit what naiwf thinks? He's already proven himself to be a complete jackass and completely unable to string together anything resembling an intelligent or somewhat original comeback. Just picture him as a spoiled, 12 year-old rich kid with too much time on his hands. Clemens isn't a Yankee. So what? Clemens came back from retirement. So what? Everybody makes a big deal out Clemens and his potential retirements. So what? He's the best pitcher of this generation, possibly ever. People SHOULD make a big deal out of it. If people don't like him, they don't like him. Who cares? Once naiwf gets 347 career victories, I might be interested in his pithy attempts at insulting my home state, but until then, he's just another random jackass in a long line of random jackasses that inhabit the world wide web. In something baseball related-I certainly hope that Chris Sampson's work this year has earned him a spot in the Astros rotation next year. I think he'd be a good #2 guy. He's got good control, keeps the ball down well, and isn't afraid of attacking the strikezone, unlike some of the other highly-thought of rookie pitchers the Astros have thrown out there the last two years. And he's got a cool goatee thing going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Conspiracy_Victim 0 Report post Posted October 1, 2006 He'd better be ready to be a #2 or 3 guy next year. We may need him to be one next year. If Wandy Rodriguez sniffs the starting rotation, I riot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MFer 0 Report post Posted October 2, 2006 Man fuck the Royals. They've gotten the shit kicked outta them all year and now they decide to care? Bullshit!!! Anyways, Detroit screwed up big time. I'll stop short of calling it a choke b/c they won 95 games and they're still in the playoffs. On the plus side heading into the playoffs, the bats seem to be going again. Pitching is what gets it done in the playoffs and the Tigers have the best at least by the numbers. Bonderman and Verlander are gonna have to grow up fast though and the hitters have to be more patient facing a disciplined and veteran Yankee squad. I'm not counting Detroit out.

If Wandy Rodriguez sniffs the 72 degree air in MMP, be it in the rotation, bullpen, or in the stands, I riot. I imagine that the rotation'll be something like...

Guest Paul Report post Posted October 2, 2006 I'm happy the Tigers choked on the division. Now the Yankees get them. And the Twins can shoot the A's in the back of the head. Then for the ALCS, I don't see the Twins being able to win a 7 game series against NY, in NY. I'm all about WEDNESDAY right now, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It'll be Duque vs. Lowe, Glavine vs. Kuo and Trachsel or Maine vs. Maddux. I'm willing to say that there is zero chance of Kuo starting Game 2, especially if the Dodgers dropped the first game. Maddux would be going on normal rest if he pitched Game 2. EDIT: 10%, because zero is kinda asinine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
