As bad as it is, I'm actually rooting for the Braves to make it so the Phils get the DBacks instead of the Cardinals...

Right. Don't want to play a scorching Cardinals team in the first round, and if it's the DBacks, I might go out to Phoenix for game 3.

Not one "expert" at ESPN picked the Yankees to win the AL East before the season started. LOL

Not one "expert" at ESPN predicted the Sox would start 0-7, or that Carl Crawford would wait a month and a half before remembering he's Carl Crawford and started playing like Carl Crawford.

Worst in baseball history? Come on, at least Crawford was serviceable for a while until he got hurt. He's not even the worst for the Sox in recent history; that distinction must go to Daisuke Matsuzaka.

I was kidding by that. Watching Crawford and Lackey on a nightly basis is frusturating, and I'm sure I'd be saying the same thing right now about Dice-K if he wasn't injured.

on a side note, congratulations yankees on the playoff berth and thanks for beating the Rays to keep us in the race!

Congratulations on the Yankees overcoming the odds, then.

It's like John Cena. OVERCOMING THE ODDS TO uhh win for the zillionth time.

Personally, I don't care as long as the Yankees don't win the ALCS. The Sox and the Braves are making me feel better as a Met fan considering at least one of the two is making September 2007 look like child's play and umm, well, as long as it's not Yanks-Phils in the World Series I'll be happy

Damn I've been out of the loop with baseball for too long..

And I'd counter with the Mets' deferred-payment deal with Bobby Bonilla. They're currently paying someone who hasn't played since 2001.

Who knows by the time 2034 rolls around and they are done paying ehhhhhhhhhhhhh never mind why did you bring this up :cry:

Sweet deal when you can make the worst signing in baseball history and win the World Series in the same year. Imagine if they hadn't signed Matsuzaka that year; maybe they could've had an extra World Series during the all-star break and won that too.

♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫
