MLB Playoffs

As if being called the Buffalo Bills is pejorative.

Putzes.

 

That's right. It was the hat.

 

In fairness, I think I would have missed all four series if I had made predictions. I might have picked the Mets just because the Dodgers were up and down so much during the year.

But I thought the evil Yankees would win. The Cards have been pretty bad the last couple of weeks, and the A's usually fall in the first round.

 

I hope Tommy Lasorda's commercials for the postseason continue with him telling a sad Dodgers fan that even if your team isn't playing anymore that it's still the postseason!

 

I'll still call them that. They're not as good as the Dodgers made them look. I probably watched the Mets play more games in-person than any non-East Coast SportsJournalists.com member, and they are easily the most overrated team. They got some pitching miracles and a lot of help from the rollercoaster Dodgers. I'll be shocked if they reach the Fall Classic.

 

"Pitching miracles," CR?

I don't think Glavine going 6 shutout IP should ever be considered much of a miracle. John Maine was a surprise, sure, but Trachsel has been around for a while. He's thrown some decent games before.

The Mets aren't The Greatest Team Ever (tm), that's for sure. But they're plenty good enough. [/and this coming from a braves fan]

 

All three games were about average, perhaps slightly below, for those starters this year on the Mets.

 

Padres coming apart in the sixth inning.
It will be Cards-Mets in the NLCS, a better match up for the Mets because other than Carpenter, the Cards' pitching is a bigger mess than the Mets'.

Note to the missing dickhead: METS IN THE WORLD SERIES!!!!

 

I don't remember a first round where so few of the games were tight. Fourteen games and the only one that really had me on the edge of my chair was Game 2 of the Tigers-Yankees. I also don't recall four series where hitting with men on base was so shitty.

 

Had the Cardinals lost, this round would have been perfect. Strangely enough, I'm now a Mets fan.

 

Fuck you, Oz, and the nag-ass Kansas horse you rode in on.

 

Well, when the team you root for never makes the playoffs, you get used to rooting against others. Pretty simple.
