Baseball Thread No. 17: Let's Get Dizzy, Mr. Dean

Houston Astros could very well have the third-best record in the NL and be three games out of the wild card after tonight.

 

Said it earlier in the thread. 2008 Astros = 2007 Rockies.

 

As noted on the Ike thread, Cubs-Astros has been postponed Friday and Saturday.

And in case the luser who posted something on the Ike thread comes here first ... roof, my ass. It's a fuckin' major hurricane, you idiot.

 

Tell the luser to Google up the 2008 SEC men's basketball tournament to see how much good a roof does in hurricane-like conditions.

 

What constitutes value?

Undoubtedly, Delgado is in the midst of a monster fourth month run. But why is he more valuable to the Mets than, say, Fernando Tatis? Tatis was the Mets best and most clutch player prior to the Randolph firing.

 

The 1st half counts too. Pujols, not even close.

 

Fixed.

 

I'll save you the Google effort.

It fucking sucked.

 

So I've been wondering ...

Exactly what are the White Sox' playoff chances sans Quentin?

 

I have no idea how they're going to replay those two Cubs-Astros games. Cub luck says they'll make them play a triple-header one day before the playoffs start.

 

Unfortunately, if the 2008 Astros = 2007 Rockies, that means the 2008 Brewers = 2007 Padres. Fuck, fuck, fuck.

 

Yeah but on the bright side, you've been steeling yourself for the inevitable for five months now.
