Haha.. the NL West must be atrocious if this team won it. Good god. If the Mets win tonight there isn't a shot in hell they aren't going to the World Series.

Jeff fucking Weaver is shutting down the NL West champs. My God. This guy got lit up like a xmas tree in BOTH leagues and he shut down the Padres..

10/5/2006 6:13:25 PM

people are just now learning the NL west is weak as shit?

who knew!

10/5/2006 6:57:20 PM

I felt bad for a few of ny's hitters :x arod's second at bat was jut not fair :X 101 101 84 curve.

10/5/2006 7:15:32 PM

NY owns kenny rogers....it WILL be 2-1 yankees after tomorrow night.

yup

10/6/2006 8:04:38 AM

^^ hey, I was wrong... it's not over yet though which is why I'm not saying anything to the 'Dodgers in 3 or 4 crowd'...

10/6/2006 9:26:24 AM

as much as i always look for reasons in how the Yankees lost a game, how they lost it, not how they were beat...

good gods, how the fuck are you supposed to hit a middle relief pitcher who throws 103mph? Seriously were was this bullpen D-troit during the whole month of September?
There was no way we were going to win that game with 2 pitchers throwing 100+ meatballs right passed us.


Well on to today and Kenny Rogers. Must win.

10/6/2006 9:40:45 AM

The question is whether or not Randy Johnson will lay an egg. He has been terrible lately, blew game 3 of the playoffs last season, is 2-7 lifetime in the division series, has a herniated disc, and is 44 years old.

doesnt bode well.

On the other hand, the yankees offense is still awesome, they just didnt hit with guys on base yesterday.

10/6/2006 9:52:22 AM

Lets go Dtroit!

10/6/2006 8:45:22 PM

Ernie Harwell is awesome

Knowing FOX is our only option for the championship and world series fills me with dread

10/6/2006 9:27:44 PM

god dammit yankees

10/6/2006 9:28:55 PM

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK

10/6/2006 10:40:55 PM

10/7/2006 12:19:10 AM

TIGERS

10/7/2006 6:08:38 PM

where are all you fucking yankee fans at?

beat the "best lineup ever" 3 ouut of 4 games

10/7/2006 8:02:53 PM

we're still here. it's become clear that you cannot put a lineup of sluggers together and expect to win. the yankees need pitching.

next season's rotation:

Wang
empty
empty
empty
empty

Zito? Hughes? Pavan-ouch?

10/7/2006 9:11:02 PM

yeah, the loss pretty much cemented that zito won't be a met next year

The Mets can't compete with a pissed off George payroll wise. Too bad, the Mets would have had a badass young rotation next year too.

Glavine
Zito
Maine
Pelfrey
Humber (or El Duque)

It wouldn't shock me to see the Mets acquire Dontrelle for Milledge, Heilman, + in the offseason though..

[Edited on October 8, 2006 at 12:29 PM. Reason : and of course pedro who will be pitching with an intact labrum for the first time since 2002 post AS]

10/8/2006 12:28:35 PM

pedro is dead, zito will be in pinstripes, and tommy is coming home

i doubt willis will be going anywhere, luria held on to him for a reason

however

the mets are going to coast through the world series

congratulations, cocksucker

10/8/2006 7:34:05 PM

yay now the cardinals and mets can play to see who gets to lose to the A's or Tigers!

"Tigers over Yankees 3-2 There is no rationale in this pick. I just want the Yankees to lose. No World Series rings since Clinton was President continues for this team. Twins over A's 3-0 The Twins have been awesome non-stop for five months. Mets over Dodgers 3-1 I just think the Mets are a better team than the last month shows and that the Dodgers just aren't that good. Padres over Cardinals 3-2 The Cardinals' late skid and injuries hurts their psyche and the Padres will take care of them. Tigers over Twins 4-3 Classic ALCS will be fought by these two teams that fought all season. Mets over Padres 4-2 Will be workmanlike. Tigers over Mets 4-2 Who had Detroit in March?"

2 for 4 is not bad and I still have my World Series picks remaining. I saw a couple on the first page that got every series wrong.

I'll stick with the Tigers and the Mets.

10/8/2006 11:57:35 PM

I got OAK and NYM still..

Now that the Yanks are gone I think the Mets will win it all... That offense and bullpen is easily the best left and if they can get any kind of starting pitching they are the best team..

[Edited on October 9, 2006 at 12:05 AM. Reason : z]

10/9/2006 12:01:40 AM

Haha so just about everyone missed 2 of the 4 series.

I like how the Twins and Yankees were locks almost and picked by just about everybody.

I got this:

Cards over Mets in 7. Mets pitching is about = to the Cards now and that is BAD. Pujols MVP again.

As over Tigers in 7. As have homefield and deserve to finally go far in this thing. Tigers are too young.

10/9/2006 12:04:34 AM

Mets in 6 (1 Carpenter win and 1 other)

Tigers in 6

Yay Tigers-Mets

[Edited on October 9, 2006 at 12:11 AM. Reason : .]

10/9/2006 12:06:08 AM

^^ you think Carpenter will pitch Game 2 or 3? Game 2 will be a bit short rest and if he pitches like he did tonight early against a team with a great offense he'd be down 6 before the end of the first..

V ah, ok.. probably smart. Carpenter needs to be at his sharpest.. he worries me... a lot.

[Edited on October 9, 2006 at 12:12 AM. Reason : x]

10/9/2006 12:09:52 AM

Carpenter won't be ready till game 3 at home, then maybe game 7 if it goes that far.

I would guess it would be Weaver for game 1 and Reyes/Marquis for game 2. Then Carp in 3 and Suppan in 4.

V Yeah I know, but I still have faith. I said Suppan in game 4 because he is much better at home but will likely be ready for game 2 in NY.

[Edited on October 9, 2006 at 12:13 AM. Reason : I have faith]

10/9/2006 12:11:07 AM

wow you guys are screwed for the series then

10/9/2006 12:12:04 AM

I'm sticking with my page 1 prediction in the ALCS of Tigers over A's in 6. I picked the Padres in the NL though, so now I'll go with Mets over Cards in 4.

[Edited on October 9, 2006 at 12:13 AM. Reason : clari]

10/9/2006 12:12:39 AM

A team with Carpenter and Pujols will not get swept.

Because Boston is out this year.

10/9/2006 12:16:14 AM

BTTT for game one ALCS.

Zito versus Robertson.

Who yall got? I like Oakland with their ace on the mound and Detriot to suffer from beating the Yanks.

10/10/2006 6:13:50 PM

why do fox pregame montages always have to be so fucking gay

10/10/2006 8:02:54 PM

because Fox doesn't understand baseball or its fans

10/10/2006 8:29:57 PM

zito should be out by the 6th

10/10/2006 9:14:29 PM

keep doubting plz

10/10/2006 9:27:42 PM

finish tigers finish

10/10/2006 11:17:40 PM

IF the mets make the world series El Duque will be activated and can pitch. No pain throwing a simulated game at all.

10/17/2006 12:45:18 PM

Winner of tonight's game wins the series I believe.

Should be a good game, both Weaver and Glavine have been outstanding.

I wish Pujols had been healthy this series....or is that an excuse for him not knocking in runs?

10/17/2006 12:52:14 PM

I've lost an awful lot of respect for Mr. Pujols. So far he has cursed out reporters in NYC preceding Game 1, flipped a chair into a reporter after Game 1, and said that Tom Glavine was not good at all after he completely shut down the team. I'm seriously questioning how bad this injury actually is. To me it feels like a cop out, but I'll still give him the benefit of the doubt I guess.

Beltran has been playing with a twinged quad and a strained abdominal muscle since the playoffs began yet you never hear him saying anything about it and you see him busting his ass on every play..

A not to flattering comparison which shows me I'm not crazy for thinking this.

[Edited on October 17, 2006 at 1:58 PM. Reason : x]

10/17/2006 1:43:13 PM

^ damn I never realized that Pujols was such a prick. Maybe the pressure just gets to him or something. His comments about Glavine are just pathetic though - dude's a hall of famer so stop acting like he pulled a Jeff Suppan.

would it really be worth putting him on the roster?
