MLB 2004

Can we just please rewind things back 8 days, and start all over?  Last Saturday was so much fun here in SoCal.  WTF happened?!      

Kind of a toss up as to who I'd like to see win now (after the Astros polish off the Braves  ), but it'd be either team from the NL, that much I'm sure of.  I like Clemens, and I like Edmonds/Rolen, so I'd be happy if any of them won, but I think since the 'Stros never have, I'll be pulling for them.  I even kinda want the Yankees to beat the Sox, just 'cause I like Nomar too, and would hate to see them win it as soon as he got traded.  That would stink (for him).

Should be another incredible, classic Sox/Yanks series though.  Gonna be fun to watch.  Think there's gonna be some good fights?   

I'd love to see Clemens wind up pitching against either of those two former teams of his in the World Series!

Damn, you guys hear that former MVP Ken Caminiti just died of a heart attack at the age of 41?  Very sad, but he's been battling drug problems for a number of years now.  But I'm sure a lot of the anti-steroid folks are going to try to link it to his usage of those.  Maybe that was the cause, or maybe it was the drug addictions, or maybe both.

Great player though.  Sad day for baseball.

The lesson on Caminiti is Don't Do Drugs

Kudos to the Astros for winning a series!  Sorry to Jim but I'm glad to see the Braves get their asses kicked year after year in the Playoffs. 

Since I predicted a Sox-Cards WS I'll say

Sox in 6
Cards in 5

Sox over the Cards in 7

It's been a great postseason so far!

Tis OK. As a Braves fan, I've become accustomed to post season disappointment. Even more so in the last 3-4 yrs where it seems they can't even get out of the first round. 

So now that I officially don't give a crap who wins the WS this year, I do suppose I'd rather see a Sox-Astros series. Would be nice to either see Bagwell and Biggio finally win one, or the Sox finally win one. So long as it's not the Yankees.

[Scott]

I want the Sox to win so we can stop hearing about the Curse of the Bambino forever

Glad to see Houston handle their business last night.  Hopefully they'll get past the Cards now too, so Clemens can have a showdown with his former team, whichever one it is...

It's been a great postseason so far!

Aside from your Twinks losing, I assume...   


You guys see this stuff on the Who's your daddy?! t-shirts that they were making in N.Y., but MLB ordered them to stop...  Too funny.  I heard on the radio this morning that the shirts are already going for $100+ since they're no longer allowed to sell them.

Yankees over Red Sox in 6
Astros over Cardinals in 6
Yankees over Astros in 6 to win the World Series

Fantastic game so far by the Yanks.

Yep, given up 5 runs in the 7th so far. Fantastic game. 

[Scott]

Is that Juan Rincon in there?  Wow, shows what an extra 120 million in hitter can do for you (although the Twins made the bonehead move of the last 3 years when they told Ortiz "We don't need you")

[Famine]

Yep, given up 5 runs in the 7th so far. Fantastic game. 

I'll cut ya.

[Dressel Rebel]

2 run triple Bernie Williams, 10-7 Yankees!!!!!!!!

[Jeff]

Boy, how about that Mussina-Schilling Showdown?

Great pitching by both bullpens though... 

What a crazy game!

I'll take some solice (not much) in the fact that Moose had a perfect game into the seventh with an eight run lead, but the Sox made it interesting until the final out (tying run at the plate).

Non game thoughts:
That Star Wars opening was the most retarded ******* thing I've seen.  Johnny Damon's head on Chewbacca - ******* brilliant.  Bats as lightsabers - classic.  The Red Sox as the Rebels and the Yankees as the Empire - why didn't I think of that

Tim McCarver is the biggest dip**** moron on the planet.  Brandon Arroyo is pitching tomorrow against Pedro?  Matsui's hit was the biggest of the inning?  No **** Sherlock - he drove in two runs.  The man's a genius in the booth.
