I'm pretty sure they have bought the division title

Well, in that case, I guess I'm going to have to stand up for my Yankees. Last year's choke job against Boston was one for the ages, but they still were (and are) a better team overall than Boston. Their one weakness last year, pitching, is now a great strength. Boston's pitching is too full of question marks this year. Plus, Tino Martinez is back in pinstripes, and that ends the argument right there.

Way before my Colorado Rockies were born ('93) I loved The Cardinals, Blaine also loved them so it's been easy for me to include them at or near the top of my favourites :)

No offense Charlie_D, but I wish "Pay-Rod" would come clean about his gaffe in the ALCS last year, when he knocked the ball out of a Red Sox players glove and then thought nobody would notice...then to complain about it being a bad call ::) I respect Jeter though, great player :)

Of the Yankees roster there are only about 5 i have any time for whatsoever..
Tony Womack
Jason Giambi
Derek Jeeter
Hideki Matsui
and finally i think Sheffield is a good player.
I don't know too much about there pitching staff to be honest.
But yeah.. i have no time for A-Rod.
He, Chipper Jones, Barry Bonds (satan) and Sammy 'no skill' Sosa make up my most disliked player list.

No...I've always arrived before the game starts to avoid the congestion. And we'd normally leave during the 9th inning or right when the game was over. Once there was a game that ran 12 innings but we left during the 10th or 11th since it was getting late. Usually when we've left early, it's never before the 9th inning. Of course, I haven't been to a game since 1996 (when they beat the Braves).

He belted in the tying run in the 9th inning of Game Seven of the '01 Series off Mariano. The next batter was hit, and that loaded the bases. Gonzo hit a bloop single which scored the winning run.

I watched it on ESPN Classic in March 2003. (I also watched it live, 16 months earlier. I'll never forget that.) :) As I recall, every batter that Mariano faced got on base. He only managed to get one out, and that was a force out at third.

It was truly enjoyable to see them lose...and also when they lost to The Marlins proved that they couldn't "Buy" a Title...let's hope them AND the Braves...well, you know :-X ;)

What do you have against the Braves? they don't go out and buy their division titles like the yankees, They picked up Mike Hampton and Jaret Wright when nobody wanted them and other then Chipper (home grown product) they don't have any real superstars, Their big moves this year were signing Tim Hudson, Brian Jordan and Raul Mondesi, all three of these players seem to me to be a bit risky. John Smoltze will be starting again and he wore his arm out in the pen the last few years so we will see if he can pitch effective all season. Now a team that I see cry year in and year out are the Cubs, their one time excuse for not winning was we play all these day games and it takes it's toll on us...well you have lights now so that excuse is gone. The fans to me are second worse only to Philly fans, throwing homerun balls back onto the field, the fan that does this should be thrown out of the stadium. Lets not forget the poor guy who caught the ball in the stands and cost the Cubs a shot at the world series, any person in his place would of done the same, the ball was out of play, it was in the stands...but Cubs fans blamed him for not going to the series. So as long as the Braves keep winning I really don't care what any other team does, I put up with losing season's from the late 70s until 1990 so it's really nice that they are winning now and it just goes to show people hate a winning team, no matter how they go about achieving their wins

with all do respect, I've never liked them...from the Bobby Cox incident with his wife...though unproved it was reported by her. But that's not the whole thing. ESPN did a special on the Braves and the "Strike Zone" that was usually called for Atlanta pitchers at home...they showed the same pitches by opposing pitchers being called balls while Braves pithchers' were called strikes. Javier Lopez about popped a blood vessel complaining that the show was unfair and that it was all false. He was a huge whiner about it. If it makes any difference I don't like the Twins, Reds or Giants either. However I do respect that you like Atlanta. Just my opinion, that's all. Hey, I really can't say too much because my Rockies haven't had much success :-\\

have you noticed how patriotic it looks when we quote each other? ;D I dislike the Yankees, Cubs, Phillys and Mets, I used to hate the Dodgers when the Braves were in the west, remember when the Marlins beat the Braves to go to the series and Eric Greg's one sided strike zone was as wide as his A$$ for the Marlins, most umpires give pitchers the pitches off the plate if they can hit the spot over and over, Randy Johnson, Curt Shilling, Roger Clemons and others get this benefit, it just happened that in the 90s the Braves could run 4 pitchers at you who had this type of control

I have hated teams in every sports as well, In football I hate Miami, I was always a Colts fan and it always seemed like Miami would get all the calls, In basketball it's the hated Lakers, to me it seems like they were allowed to bend rules and stock pile talent that would put any other team over the cap and the 80s rivalry with the Celtics; in hockey it's the Flyers, I'm a penguin fan (enough said), In baseball it's the Yankees, they just go out and buy all they need and have been doing this since way back in the days of Babe Ruth

Go tribe! I've loved the Indians since well like 1995, when we were in the series for the first time in 41 years!, (but we lost), then I went to game 3 of the 1997 world series (which we lost as well, lol). It was great though while it lasted. Now we kinda suck, but I still love 'em.

BUT that was last year......the past.
The Yankees need to get their @#$%! together, A-ROD needs to go seriously, I hate that guy. I'm really looking forward to this season, not only because of the Yanks. I want to see what happens to The Mets now that they have P.MArtinez on their team.

I was on dream street when the Red Sox beat the Yankees.. and then the thought suddenly appeared.. Oh crap they're gonna beat us now.
It's tough, as a Redbird obviously i had to support the Cardinals, however every bit of Ireland in me was thinking.. ahh for sure it wouldn't hurt to let em have one every 100 years. ;D
Thing is, the Red Sox look real strong again, i can see it coming down to the Red Sox, The Cardinals, The Yankees and Dodgers. I have no idea why i think the Dodgers will do so well, but i just have a feeling. They are a technically solid team with a couple of outstanding players when it comes to both Offense & Defence.
Plus people.. two words Eric Gange.
La Russa & Jocketty (i say both because although Jocketty essentially has the power, he aint dumb he listens to everything Tony has to say) they have improved the team somewhat although we are really gonna hurt without Edgar, the whole pace of our game will have to change. It's a damn shame he left. I am still somewhat concerend about the pitching staff (or as i prefer to call them the fire brigade). However, we have enough superb offensive and defensive players that unless something bad happens, or like last year 2 bad things happen (Pujols & Rolen both playing hurt, yes they were both injured and still THAT DAMN GOOD!) then i think we could take the series. There is no doubt in my mind that we will beat the Cubbies (yuck) and the Astros (ha!) to the Division Title. I can also see no reason why we shouldn't be NL Champions again, after all the only teams i think should be feared are The Dodgers & The Giants. The Braves are good, but we finally dispatched them as our bogey team a couple years ago. Who's gonna stop us.. CHIIIIIPPER CHIIIIIPPER CHIIIIIPPER. I think not ;D

A closer is never going to be the difference in a team, sure he can win you close games but you have to go into the 9th with the lead, one reason he had so many saves is because the Dodgers have a weak offense and many of the games were close... I look for Chipper to have another good season, last year he was fighting injuries all season and it was a great move to put him back at 3rd, with him at 3rd this season he should remain injury free

On very rare occasions, the Dodgers have failed to preserve their lead with Eric Gagne trying to close it out. Last July, his streak of 84 consecutive saves came to an end as the D'backs tied it up in the 9th inning; the Dodgers still squeezed out a win. But you're right, he is really good about preserving the lead. He went through the 2003 season without a blown save; gotta love that. 8)

Babe Ruth will always be the best player ever, he hit many homeruns in the dead ball era, and lets not forget he won many games a pitcher too :o

I'm happy to see someone else feel that way! He had WAY less at bats than Hammerin' Hank and played in less games. Steroid Barry is kinda like the overated Emmitt Smith...let's play until we're 50 and we'll break a record :D Walter Payton was and always will be the best in my book.

The ONLY defense I give Big Mac is that Creatine wasn't a banned substance or even an illegal drug. As for Steroid Barry...not only is he a self absorbed @sshole but he could at least say he was drugged and accuse the guy that laced his food...he just denies everything though. Yeah, in a perfect world Albert would have at least one MVP award, Roger Maris would still hold the single season HR record Babe Ruth would still hold the career record for HRs AND Walter Payton would still be the NFL's All-Time leading rusher :)

Well, from what I had heard, the Mets were in need of a starting pitcher (a lefty), so they sent Kazahisu Ishii over there. He did pretty well in his three years with my Dodgers, though.
I agree with you about LoDuca. That trade also involved Juan Encarnacion, who was just with the Marlins nine months earlier when his team won the World Series. ::)

I was watching the Dodgers/D'backs game earlier; L.A. had taken a 4-1 lead in the 5th (?), but the D'backs tied it up in the 7th and Troy Glaus hit a three-run homer in the 8th, so I lost track after that. :-\\ My guess is that my team lost.

It's funny--I generally don't get into baseball on TV but I really enjoy going to ballgames. About 5 or 6 years ago they built a beautiful new ballpark in my hometown of Lincoln, NE. I used to go to Saltdogs (Northern League) and Husker baseball games all the time. I'm thinking about roadtripping to St. Louis some weekend and catching a Cards game.

In the top of the 11th, the Dodgers got four runs to lead 12-8, but that lead was cut in half in the bottom of the 11th. A double play ended it. So the Dodgers' record is now 4-1. :D

Yeah they did. I think in the last 5 games or something like that the Braves bullpen has given up 17 runs or so. That keeps up the Braves will not have a chance at a 14th straight division title and instead will be fighting out for the cellar position in the NL East. Something has to be done about that bullpen and soon, letting Tom Martin go was a start but there needs to be a lot more done.

The Cardinals won again last night, taking the streak to 4. It was an emphatic 11-1 victory with Marc Mulder showing why he was bought over to the NL.
The Cardinals are now the 3rd best performing team in the country, with The White Sox & Dodgers above them.
L.A Are a big threat, they appear to have found an offense and have always been good defensivley.
It will be interesting to see who the biggest threat for the NL is, The Braves or The Dodgers.

The Cardinals face The Astros tonight with Brandon Duckworth faceing off against Jason Marquis.
Duckworth had an awful outing a few days ago and will want to get over that, whilst Marquis had been pretty solid so far.
Should be interesting to see what Jimmy Edmonds does, He is 2 for 4 with 4 walks against Duckworth and has been on fire recently.
I assume it will be somewhat similar to earlier this year where it was Edmonds vs Houston.

Maybe not, Colorado may sweep them. Colorado has already surprised me by (unless a miracle happens) winning today. You said to Nally a few days ago to go ahead and put three more wins in the Dodger's column because they were going to play Colorado, and that just wasn't the case now was it?

I turn on the game, it's 3-2 Deebacks in the bottom of the 9th, with 2 out, runners on first and second, and a 3 ball, 2 strike count on the current batter (JD Drew, I believe)...the next pitch, he hits a line drive to the shortstop, who throws him out. >:( If only Drew had hit the ball past the infield, that probably would've gotten the tying run home at least. ::)

We were watching the Mets and the Nationals last night. Joey Eischen, the relief pitcher, broke his arm. He caught the ball, and came down-right on his arm. I thought that he broke his wrist from the way he landed but I found out today that it was his arm. That is such a shame. We don't like to see players hurt (unless it is John Rocker or Roger Clemants-but that is a different story).
The result of the game-the Mets won. But, like I said, we are sorry that Eischen broke his arm.

The last time anybody made a comeback like this was the Pirates in 2001. They scored i think 6 or 7 against the Astros in the 9th that night.

Actually you might wont to check those standings again.
Braves currently have the best record in the NL. Also the Eastern Division is the strongest Division in the NL right now with 4 teams over .500 (only 5 teams in division). The weakest Division in the NL right now is actually the NL Central were only the Cardinals are over .500. Plus just about a week ago didn't the Braves just take 2 out of 3 from the Cardinals. Braves are 13-3 in their last 16 games, just sweeping the Astros in 4 games outscoring them 38-8 in that series. Cardinals are 4-6 in their last 10 games.
Though to GWBush2004, it is WAY to early to be calling 14th straight division titles as we are only in the second month of the season and Braves only have a 1.5 game lead, long way to go. To RockandRollFan, you are right Atlanta Braves fans do brag a lot about winning 13 straight division championships, but the reason for that is not because they have only won one World Series title it is because no other team in sports history has come even close to that mark. I consider myself a Braves fan (if you couldn't tell already) but I don't brag (especially this early in the season) and it bugs me when people do brag about things like that. And no I am not bragging above that was just stating current facts, standings and teams play can always change just takes one major injury to turn things upside down.

LMAO! You are kidding right. Much as i don't like them The Astros are a damn good team, the Cubs have there days as well.
The Brewers usually pull some shocks out as well.
Over in the East the Braves are unopposed. They are indeed a good team but It's a weak division. The Marlins are not consistent, The Mets go from winning 10 on the trot to losing 20...
The Braves will win in the East, the Cardinals will win in the Central. I still think that the Dodgers will win over in the West, but personally i think they'll have a much tougher time than the Braves or the Cards.
The Wildcard.. The Giants or the Marlins i think. If either of them could put together a good run of form out of there division then they would do well.

the only TBS announcer that I like is Skip Carey, I liked Ernie Johnson before he retired, Joe Simpson is OK if they team him with Skip, Pete Van Wieren is pure annoying i hated how he almost had an orgasm when the network finally let him bad mouth John Rocker (who I like by the way, he's from Statesboro Georgia about 40 miles from where I live) and Don Sutton the robot, even his laugh is programmed... each game Don has to say "not every out is made on a good pitch and not every hit is made on a bad pitch" and he must mention Walter Austin at least two times a game, this might sound novel but how about hiring some ex-braves as announcers? The addition of Ron Gant on Friday extra was a good move, he was an ex-brave, then there is Chip Carey, we had him on the staff early in his career before he moved on to Seattle and then Chicago, I don't see how someone can change team loyalties (OK the paycheck) but I listened to him do a few Cubs games in the past, it was pure sickening hearing how a homerun travels so many "happy feet" at least that phrase isn't used in Atlanta, so far they have been teaming Chip with Skip so it's been OK... Then there are the TBS commercials for braves baseball, one that really sucks is these two Astros fans acting like bees, hey TBS, this is Atlanta not Houston so can the astro fans and any other non brave fan, another commercial I hate is the one with Chipper telling how he learned to switch hit watching dodgers growing up... find a braves fan not a dodger fan  ::)

Last night in the 8th inning, Jeff Weaver was one strike away from ending the top of the inning, when Adam LaRoche hit a grand slam off him to give the Braves a 4-2 lead; it took two relievers (Kelly Wunsch and Giovanni Carrara) to stop the madness. In the bottom of the 8th, Dodgers got their revenge when Milton Bradley hit a grand slam to give the Dodgers their lead back; they added one more and won it, 7-4. :)

It was 4-3 Dodgers at one point, but Derek Lowe found himself in a jam, with the potential tying run at third base, but the bullpen bailed him out. In the 7th inning, the Dodgers got 4 more runs; and in the 8th, Marlins only managed two runs, and in the bottom of the 8th, the Dodgers got 6 runs and hung on to win, 14-5! :D

Padres had already beaten the Braves, so they remain atop the Dodgers; and the Deebacks were leading the Astros... ::) :-\\

That makes no difference it states in the role book that of a player sliding to disrupt a double play cannot reach over and touch the base then he is out, and clearly in that replay he could not reach the base therefore he was out and the correct call was made.

;D Well, I'm a Cardinals fan before being a Cubs fan ;)
I kinda like the Cubs too...I've been cheering for them lately cause I want them to win more, and the more they win, the better their chances will be for getting into the postseason; and when they do make it there, hopefully they won't screw up like they did 2 years ago. I mean, it's been 60 years since they last reached the WS, and 97 since they last won one.

Dodgers finally won again last night in SF! :) They beat the babyless Jints 6-4; Brad Penny would have gotten the win if only Yhency Brazoban had preserved the Dodgers' 3-whatever lead. But Eric Gagne picked up his first save of the season (at last); gotta love that. ;)

The Dodgers have a "winning streak" for the first time in at least a couple weeks. Last night they beat the Deebacks in Arizona by a score of 7-4.
And the Angels were hosting the worst team in the majors...the Kansas City Royals. The Royals were leading for most of the game, and the score was 8-3 in their favor in the top of the 9th inning. So it looked like they were gonna win it. But in the bottom of the 9th, the Angels rallied from a 5-run deficit and tied it up; what's more, they got all 5 runs with nobody out! They scored the winning run in the 10th inning and won their game, 9-8. :D

This is true.
Normally such an item would have people lined up around Safeco waiting for the doors to open to get their hands on them. Also, within 20 minutes of opening the doors, they all would have been distributed.
Not this time, maybe it is a combination of the Mariners having a crummy season, it was a rainy night, people think Buhner is a redneck, or whatever, but they were still passing out the Buhner statues after the game had started.
Ryan Franklin gives up five runs in the first to the Blue Jays. Vernon Wells hits two home runs. Franklin is thrown out of the game for hitting a pitcher before he could be pulled. Blue Jays build lead to 9-2. Mariners pull starters Beltre, Sexon and Boone right after. Bench players rally the team to make it close, but lose 9-7.

Plus, what free agent in his right mind would ever think about going to a team that has to play in sub zero temperatures?

If Colorado beat Baltimore, that means you helped the Yankees who beat the Cubs. >:( ;)

Not good at all. They've lost 8 straight. And if that isn't bad enough, their closer, Eric Gagne, is out for the season because of a really bad soreness in his pitching elbow that will require Tommy John surgery, so we won't be seeing him until the '06 season. :-[

PS: I had the volumn down while bloopers were on and was reading the boards and listening to CDs
;D I won't pop a blood vessel...this time! Anyway, I hope you at least enjoyed listening to cd's....next rain delay you could always play "Baseball" with your girlfriend though ;)

Yeah the Cubs did. The Braves scored 6 runs in the bottom of the 8th to win 9-4 thanks to a 2 run homer by Andruw Jones (his major league leading 27th of the year) and a 3 run homer by Jeff Francour (sp?), his first career major league homer.

The Nationals lost last night, so the Braves are only 1.5 games out from first place.
Now excuse me while I rant:
The Braves were 2.5 games behind the Nationals a week ago, and the Nationals have lost four in a row. If you told me a week ago that the Nationals were going to lose four in a row, I would have said I'm glad the Braves will be in first place. Instead we lose three and the Nationals lose three so we break even, but we did gain one game last night.
Good way to blow your chance, Braves.

St. Louis 59 32 .648 -
Chicago 46 45 .505 13.0
Milwaukee 45 47 .489 14.5
Houston 44 46 .489 14.5
Pittsburgh 40 51 .440 19.0
Cincinnati 38 53 .418 21.0
Now, at the start of the year i said the Cards would take the division by 15 games over everybody. I'm sticking by that, but i also think that there is a serious possibility of a 20 game cushion. I wouldn't put money on it but again, it wouldn't shock me. Remembering last years second half of the season ;D

And they added one more in the 6th to make it 10-zip; the Phillies later hit a two-run homer to make it 10-2; the score stayed the same from then on. What's more, Derek Lowe wins for the first time since June 6 against the Tigers to improve to 6-10; he also got a base hit during the game and later scored. 8)

So you want them to "beat the Mets"? (In case you didn't know, "Beat the Mets!" was a popular chant uttered by Dodger fans during the 1988 postseason; that year, the Dodgers only beat 'em once during the regular season (and it was in New York where they did so), and both teams finished first in their respective divisions, so they faced each other in the LCS, and the chanting at Dodger Stadium got gradually louder and faster as the series went on to a game 7, which L.A. won.)

This is the ONE! Thing i have to laugh at in Baseball.. the songs & chants are just awful.
Personally, i think Baseball could be improved with more origional fan oriented songs.
In your L.A slums, your L.A slums, there's pi-ss on the floor and sh-i-t in the street, you find a deag dog and you think it's a treat, in your l.A slums.
In your L.A Slums, your L.A slums, your mom's on the game and your dad's in the nick, you can't get a job 'cus your so F'ing thick, in your L.A slums!
Now wouldn't that make the game better?

To be honest, i'm glad they stuck Scotty back on the DL. He was a shadow of himself, if they had stuck him down in the minors for a while he wouldn't have re-injured his shoulder, but still, he wasn't even batting .100.

To be honest, i'm glad they stuck Scotty back on the DL. He was a shadow of himself, if they had stuck him down in the minors for a while he wouldn't have re-injured his shoulder, but still, he wasn't even batting .100.
That's true...plus with all the injuries the Cards have had this season, they STILL continue to dominatehttp://www.geocities.com/klaatu_77/nod.gif

Well the Houston played great last year and St. Louis still won the division AND knocked them out of the playoffshttp://www.geocities.com/mark21566/imslow.gif I don't think Houston would be as good this year either but since it's up for debate, if the Cardinals had been healthy all this year they'd have a better record than they already do so I STILL don't think the 'Stros would be close ;)

Fact is, the Cardinals offence still hasn't really kicked off big time yet. Edmonds isn't having an amazing year, Rolen has been non-existent, Eckstein has been consistent but nothing amazing, Grudzielanek is good, but again, not a big power hitter. Walker has been hurt and Sanders is out..
Albert however is once again on course for an MVP Year. Derek Lee my a-ss! Yeah, Lee is having a career year, Pujols trails him by slim margains in all areas, but Pujols play like this EVERY year, Lee will never ever play like this again.

Well...in my first trip to Dodger Stadium in 9 years, I gotta say that I enjoyed the game overall. :) The first two innings were exciting as the Dodgers jumped out to an early 3-0 lead. In the first inning, the first run, which was unearned, was scored by Oscar Robles, who reached on an error by the shortstop. And then the next runner reached on an error by the pitcher (ex-Angel Ramon Ortiz), and then Olmedo Saenz hit a home run to left field. And we scored again in the 4th inning. I missed the 4th and 5th innings because I was standing in line, getting food. I didn't really miss Ken Griffey's home run,either. ::) In the 7th, things started to get ugly as the Reds took a 6-4 lead. Starting pitcher Jeff Weaver, who was responsible for all 6 Cincinnati runs, was taken out of the game with 2 out in the 7th and Wilson Alvarez (the only left-handed reliever) was brought in. Dodgers tied it back up in the bottom of the 7th and had a chance to get ahead with Milton Bradley on 3rd, but couldn't cash him in. After that we left the stadium and listened to the rest of the game on the radio. It remained tied at 6 until the top of the 9th, when Yhency Brazoban walked ____ Freel, who went on to steal second and third and then score on a fly to deep center field. Freel stole 5 bases last night! And the Dodgers were retired in the bottom of the 9th, so we lost. :-[

Yesterday was NOT a good day for my local teams, as the Angels failed to preserve a win in the Bronx, and the Cardinals had a good time at Dodger Stadium. In New York, the Angels had a 7-5 lead on the Wankees as K-Rod (who obviously wasn't his usual self yesterday) came on to pitch the 9th. He walked FOUR batters, threw a wild pitch, and then Hid!ckhead Matstupid* hit a two-run double to score the winning run. >:( In L.A., the Cardinals handed Derek Lowe his 11th loss of the season, winning 9-4. ::)
Today, the Angels and Yankes were going into extra innings with the game tied at 6, and the Dodgers and Cardinals were scoreless in the second.
*I'm only making fun of his name because his base hit erased the Angels lead and gave the Yankees a win at the same time.

Colorado has been playing decent lately, in fact I heard on ESPN that they have had the best record in the national league west since the all-star game. And it's been getting better.

Ryne's rankings
Yahoo! Sports
By: Ryne Sandberg
08/08/05
There's a change at the top of the rankings. The Cardinals have showed me enough to be the No. 1 team. The St. Louis pitching staff has performed above and beyond any expectations that I had for them at the beginning of the year.
This is the first rankings since Rafael Palmeiro tested positive for steroids. You know that baseball will bounce back – it always does – but this will taint the sport for years to come. Palmeiro was a baseball icon and it's a shame that his reputation will be scarred forever.
THE TOP 10
(Statistics and records are through August 7)
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/stl_2.gif 1. St. Louis Cardinals (70-41) – They played well against the Braves this weekend, coming from behind on Sunday for the victory and taking two of three from Atlanta. St. Louis is a lock for the playoffs and probably a lock to get to the NLCS, where it'll have to face the Braves. If healthy, the Cardinals are unstoppable.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/chw.gif 2. Chicago White Sox (72-38) – The best team in the AL, the Sox are headed for a first-round showdown with the AL wild-card winner, which could be the A's. Problem is, the White Sox don't play well against Oakland, which has won seven of the teams' nine meetings this season.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/bos.gif 3. Boston Red Sox (63-47) – They have the best offense in the AL with a majors-leading .282 average and 609 runs scored. They are leading the best division in the majors, too.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/atl.gif 4. Atlanta Braves (64-48) – They're led by Andruw Jones, a solid MVP candidate who ranks among the NL leaders in almost every offensive category. Jones also could win a Gold Glove for his work in center field. Atlanta plays its best ball at home (35-15).
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/ana.gif 5. Los Angeles Angels (64-47) – The Angels will have their hands full with the A's going into Tuesday's opener of a crucial three-game set in Oakland. L.A. will be pushed for the rest of the season by the A's and will have to rely on a pitching staff that ranks second in the AL in team ERA (3.69).
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/oak.gif 6. Oakland Athletics (64-47) – I had to put them directly behind the Angels, even though both teams are tied for the AL West lead. The A's have surprised me this year and they are the hottest team in the majors.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/nyy.gif 7. New York Yankees (59-50) – They have their work cut out for them. They're 3½ games behind Boston in the AL East and four games out of the wild-card lead behind the A's and Angels. The Yanks will be in trouble if Randy Johnson's bad back keeps him out.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/hou.gif 8. Houston Astros (60-51) – Another team that is hot as can be. The Astros have great pitching (3.52 team ERA), but their offense is anemic at times.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/cle.gif 9. Cleveland Indians (60-52) – I think they're a long shot to make the playoffs (4½ games behind in the AL wild-card race), but I just don't think they have the experience to be strong during a playoff race.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/fla.gif 10. Florida Marlins (57-53) – They're another team that is a long shot for the playoffs, but they're led by an NL-leading .278 batting average. Florida has a true superstar in Miguel Cabrera (.352, 25 home runs, 81 RBIs).
ON THE RISE
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/phi.gif Philadelphia Phillies (58-54) – The Phils are 2½ games out of the NL wild-card lead. If they can get healthy, look out.
ON THE DECLINE
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/was.gif Washington Nationals (58-53) – They're 6-17 since the All-Star break, and now there's talk of replacing Jim Bowden and moving Frank Robinson to general manager – What?
THE BOTTOM FIVE
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/pit.gif 26. Pittsburgh Pirates (47-65) – Things might be looking up with rookie phenom Zach Duke (5-0, 1.54) in the mix.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/sfo.gif 27. San Francisco Giants (48-62) – Things aren't looking too good in S.F. … and they'll be a year older next year.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/tam.gif 28. Tampa Bay Devil Rays (43-69) – The good news: They're 7-3 in their last 10 games. The bad news: They're still 21 games behind Boston in the AL East.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/kan.gif 29. Kansas City Royals (38-73) – They're on a 10-game losing streak after being swept by the A's over the weekend. Ouch.
http://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/us/sp/v/mlb/teams/1/50x50c/col.gif 30. Colorado Rockies (42-69) – They're the worst team in the NL, and their payroll will be reduced in 2006. Not good.

With the win yesterday Colorado moved 5 and a half ahead of KC who has the worst record and also are ahead of Tampa Bay. They've also closed the gap on the Pirates and Giants trying to climb out of worst in the NL. Not too bad for a young team with basically 1 seasoned veteran (Todd Helton) and all the injuries they've suffered, including possible rookie of the year Clint Barmes who was leading the league in batting average when he went down. I'm still holding hope that they can catch anyone in the NL and make all the people who picked them to finish last as well as worse in the majors, eat a big sh*tburger. At least they're on thier way to putting one to rest as they've passed Tampa and KC....so far :) Oh yeah, and then there's the Cardinals, my other team, doing great and the Indians and Red Sox are doing well as well :)

Ryne doesn't rank soley based on records (that's why the Cardinals are number one on the list.) But I still would have put Colorado above Kansas City. The only reason I can see why he did that is because the Royals, as bad as they are, get good crowds of people for their home games, meaning more money for better players. Colorado's crowds are the second worst, next to only Tampa Bay.

Last time the White Sox won the WS was in 1917...88 years ago. They last made it to the WS in 1959, when they lost to the Dodgers.
Andy: I wanna see the Cubbies win because it's been 60 years since they last made it to the WS and 97 years since they last won one. If I have to wait until 2006 to see them do well again, so be it.

I don't think it would. But youre entitled to your own opinion; I won't argue with you. But I still am tired of the same teams dominating year after year, especially the Braves and Yankes. If they should happen to face e.o. in a WS again, I would want the Braves to win, but I wouldn't watch it.

Cardinals - White Sox ;)
The world series is the thing that annoys me most about Baseball. For instance, last year, the St Louis Cardinals were the best team in Baseball. Over the whole year they had a better record than every single other team. However, because they lose a short series (and anybody can win or lose a short series) to the Boston Red Sox, who had a much worse record. The Red Sox become the best team.

Now those two teams I wouldn't mind seeing play e.o. I'm pretty much comfortable with anyone just as long as it isn't the Braves and Yankes together. I do have reservations on maybe 1 or 2 other teams though.

Well, the Cardinals will make it. If, somehow or the other the Braves can manage to beat the Cardinals (which is always possible, but remember it will be a full strength St Louis side come October) then they will win the World Series. The White Sox play good ball, but look at there record against specific sides. They have BIG weaknesses. All it takes is a good team with a good manager to exploit these weaknesses.
Next year will definatley be a Cardinals year. With the new stadium having been built the Owners are going to seriously open up the checkbook. I dare say that there will be a couple of big name guys come in.
If you look at the team now you figure that of the First Team Starters, Walker is going. Unless he can get a Contract as a DL somewhere, he won't be playing baseball next year. Matt Morris, wants some stupid amount of money.. no thanks chump, we have Farm Players.
First Base is covered, Albert Pujols is the best First Baseman in Baseball, nay, the best Player in Baseball. Third base is covered by a man who (if he stays fit) could well go down as one of, if not the, best Third Baseman ever. The pitching staff is good, I'd like to see them lose Marquis and pick up somebody like Beckett. But i can't see that happening.
I like David Eckstein at shortstop, now.. if Tejada piped up and said, i'll join the Cardinals, it would be bye bye David, but at the moment, i think he is one of the better Shortstops in the National League.
Mark Grudzielanek on second base worrys me. He is a fairly consistent player but nothing amazing. He is incredibly erratic at Bat. Somebody like Luis Castillo would work well for the Cardinals. He isn't a big hitter at all, but has a great on base percentage, have him and David Eckstein getting on base and then have Pujols come up.. your looking at almost guarenteed runs.
The outfield is the location of some big worrys for the Cards. Left Field.. what Left Field.
There are a bunch of very good players chomping at the bit. So Taguchi, John Mabry and John Rodriguez, but these are not Championship winning guys. Great in a pinch Hitting role (which Tony La Russa like to do, but they are bench guys. Great bench guys, but bench guys none the less.)
Jim Edmonds is THE Centre Fielder. There aren't many better players than him. However over in right field.. Sanders (injured right now) just isn't quite the man for the job.
With the payroll option that the Owners are talking about, names such as Guerrero and Cabrerra have been flying around, and you know.. That's a Championship in the bag. ;D

in other words, do it the Yankee way, buy yourself a pennant, this is one reason the yankees are so hated, look at the team the Braves put on the field, it's mostly home grown and they don't spend a lot buying big name free agents, I don't know why the cardinals are so well loved, if you look back at their history they are basically the yankees of the national league, buying themselves many world series titles, baseball has a bad history of this sort of thing, the teams with the money have always won through out history... There is a guy in Atlanta named Andruw Jones who will be winning the gold glove in center field and he's a home grown product and if Jeff Francoeur keeps up his play he will be the rookie of the year. Come october the Braves should be healthy too, Chipper, Hampton and Thompson should be back in the line up... another thing i notice that people have "other favourite teams" when their shitty team is having a good season they don't have an other favourite team, come on people root for one team, in good and bad times, i was a Braves fan in the 80s i didn't use the other favourite team excuse  :D

He can take a couple of cortizone shots and play the post season fine. Rolen.. might.. be back. If it's the half assed Scott Rolen that came back a few weeks ago, then IMO they can just leave him to rest up until next year. If it's the real Scott Rolen, then get ready for a fight. ;)

11-4 is acceptable. I only consider a defeat humiliating when it's by 10 or more runs. Of course being beaten by the Cu**s is pretty bad.

And what's up with Dan Kolb? He was pitching horrible but has been scoreless 6 out of his 7 last appearences and came in the on the night we lost to the Dodgers 6-4 came in with the bases loaded and no outs and didn't give up a single run.

Well, the Cardinals lost today.. it looked like they were going to pull it back and then they fell apart and allowed the Deebacks to stick 5 more runs in. Ouch.
But it is now official, even after that loss, the St Louis Cardinals are the best team in Baseball.
They have a record of 76 and 45 playing .628 ball. Whilst the Chicago White Sox have a record of 74 and 44 and are playing .627 ball. This will change when the White Sox play there extra games. Unless of course they lose a few more.
The Cardinals now lead Houstin by 12.0 games and the Cu**s by 17.0 games. The Flubs have dropped to 4th in the NL Central as well.
In other good news the A's still lead the Yankees by a game and a half in the AL Wild Card. The Kansas City Royals are still on course to break the modern record for most consecutive losses and Philedelphia managed to creep a half game ahead of The Astro's. I'd much rather have Philedelphia with there avaerage pitching staff in the playoffs than the Astro's with there Kickas*! Pitching staff.
Short series's favour good pitching.. who wants to face Clemens, Oswalt and Pettiete. With Lidge in the wings. The Nationals could leapfrog both the Stro's and Phillies.. which would be nice.

At the start of the year i said St Louis would win by 15 and so Would the White Sox. 1 out of 2 ain't bad. The White Sox haven't been as dominant recently and are 4 win down on the Cards.
Unless the Astro's start getting some SERIOUS run support for the pitching staff, they will fall to 15 behind.

Sorry to hear that Jeff, I thought my Rockies lost but they actually beat the Cubs to win the series 2-1 by a 9-7 score :D
DENVER -- The Colorado Rockies and Chicago Cubs played a classic Coors Field game.
Matt Holliday and Dustan Mohr hit two-run homers, leading the Rockies over the Cubs 9-7 on Sunday in a game that featured eight home runs.
"We had a little nostalgia game, one that wasn't for the weak of heart," Colorado manager Clint Hurdle said. "Like old times, with a lot of home runs."
Each team hit four homers -- but the Cubs didn't enjoy theirs nearly as much.
"I'd managed here too many games before and again it was too painful to watch," Chicago manager Dusty Baker said. "You make mistakes and the ball flies out of here."
Garrett Atkins had three hits, including a solo homer, for the Rockies. Pinch-hitter Jorge Piedra added a three-run drive in the eighth as Colorado took two of three in the series.
"I wasn't here for the Blake Street Bombers, but this was the atmosphere they played in every game," Holliday said. "That picked me up as it did all of us and helped us come back from a great pitcher."

I was 26 at the time and since the Mets and Cardinals were from the same division, I was rooting against New York. Though it ranks very high, no sports team had ever had a 3-0 lead and then choked 4 straight games. I still think that's the biggest choke :-\\

No, I think the Yankees won that one. Giants and Dodgers are both in the National League (and always have been) so they can't possibly face e.o. in a World Series.
Anyway, my L.A. Dodgers beat Mark's Colorado Rockies last night 8-3; Jeff Weaver improved to 12-8 (which is the opposite of Derek Lowe's miserable record right now). So far, the Rockies haven't won at Dodger Stadium since last year. May the best team win tonight. ;)

He had done so well with the Red Sox last year...especially in the playoffs... who woulda thought he'd get no run support in most of his starts as a Dodger?

Yeah, Tampa has played well and Colorad also has an above .500 record since the All-Star break if I recall correctly?

Why not, the wild card team is undeserving, if they aren't good enough to win the division they're in then they obviously aren't one of the best teams.
The Indians are having a good year, and to be honest, deserve to be in the post season far more than the Padres, but alas, they aren't good enough to win the AL Central, so in my mind they shouldn't be in the post season.
I'd like to have it revert to the old system with an NL & AL East and an NL & AL east with the top team or top two teams going through. Or like Mark said keep the three divisions and the team with the best record get's a by. The only problem i have with that is that for instance, say the White Sox and the Cardinals both have amazing years.. the white sox win.. 110 the Cardinals win 111. It's not exactly all that fair for the White Sox to have to play 3-4 or 5 extra games is it?
The whole situation needs a lot of working out but in the last few years wildcard teams have won the World Series, this says a lot.

Red Sox clobbered the Devilrays 15-2 to remain half a game ahead of the Yamkees (I spelt it like that on purpose), who were leading Baltimore 12-7 in the bottom of the 8th.
Meanwhile, I just read in today's L.A. Times sports section that the Angels will begin the '06 season in Seattle on April 3rd and play their home opener Friday April 7th against...yup, the Wankees. I read further that the Angels' interleague series will be against N.L. West teams...which means that next year's interleague matchups will be primarily in corresponding divisions for the first time since '01. That means there'll be a Braves-Yankees series during the regular season. ::) :o
So I guess the D-Rays will have to wait until 2008 to come to Dodger Stadium, and the Tribe will have to wait until 2009 to report to that locality.
Which means I was wrong here...
Two years ago we swept the season in Cleveland...so if the Dodgers played in Cleveland then, the Indians would probably come to Dodger Stadium in 2007.
It'll probably be 2009.

My Dodgers were the victims of a defeat by that exact score 4 years ago to the Chicago Cubbies. :-[ By the way, I haven't checked how they've done tonite since the 3rd inning; I know Derek Lowe gave up three runs to the Dbacks in the 1st inning and it remained 3-0 Arizona into the 3rd. We won't lose 100 games this year, but we still need six more wins to avoid 90 losses.

Yes they did... Derek Lowe is most likely going to finish this season with a losing record; he is now 11-14 and has two starts left, so the best he can do now is 13-14. :-\\
On a positive note, Bartolo Colon got his 20th win last night as the Angels beat the Texas Rangers 2-1.

St. Louis can't even win anymore. After clinching, they've sort of collapsed. Even players who still have something to play for, like Chris Carpenter (who wants the Cy Young), are collapsing.

All I can say is you could be right but fact remains for all the division titles Atlanta has won they have just ONE WS Title, so they basically collapse in the playoffs almost every year.

Hey Chad, you need to pray a LOT harder for your Braves, man. 14 straight division titles and only 1 WS title to show for it. I'd be embarrassed ::) I can't stand the Braves but at least will admit they have talent, just not enough to get over the hump. I also admit that my Rockies are horrible and have never won anything. See that's what it's like in the real world. The Braves used to get a HUGE strike-zone to mess with and yet when ESPN aired a special showing the umps giving the advantage to Brave's pitchers, it was cather Javier Lopez who squirted tears as he denied it all. BUT back to my point.....Atlanta is NOT all that great, just like I'll be the first to admit Colorado isn't either. Sorry you've had a bad experience with California fans but just roll with it and who knows....after all the bragging about that string of division titles, Atlanta can win another title....someday ;) Meanwhile, I'm rooting for St. Louis (My all-time fave before Colorado was born), Cleveland (who is falling apart lately), and Boston....or to again summarize...as long as anyone but the Yankees or Braves win it all, I'll be happy. In closing I will wish your team the best, for your sake.

So if Boston wins all three games, they'll finish at 96-66, the Wanks at 94-68, and if the Indians sweep CWS, they'll finish at 96-66 as well. But if the Red Sox win two out of three from NYY, they'll end up tied at 95-67. In summary:
AL East (current):
NYY 94-65
BOS 93-66 (1 GB)
AL Wildcard (current):
BOS 93-66
CLE 93-66
And if Boston sweeps the Yankes and Cleveland sweeps the Whitesox, here's how it'll end up:
AL East:
BOS 96-66
NYY 94-68
AL Wildcard:
CLE 96-66
BOS, even though they'd also be 96-66, would technically be out of the WC because they'd win the East. Since Cleveland is in the Central Divison, the East race wouldn't matter to them.
But if the Indians sweep the White Sox, and the Red Sox take two of three, here's how it'd end up:
AL East:
BOS 95-67
NYY 95-67
AL Wildcard:
CLE 96-66 (win)
BOS/NYY 95-67...they'd probably have a playoff game to see which one would win the AL East Division.
Now if Boston wins 2 of 3 and Cleveland wins 2 of 3, then Boston, Cleveland, and NYY would all be tied at 95-67; I don't know the plans for that scenario.

Okay, here's how the undecided AL races now appear:
AL East:
Red Sox 94-66
Yankees 94-66
AL Wildcard:
Red Sox/Yankees 94-66
Indians 93-67
I guess I wasn't totally right earlier...Indians could still win the next two and wind up one game ahead of the Yankes (that is, if Boston beats 'em tomorrow and Sunday). Cuz then the Sox would finish 96-66, Yankes 94-68, and the Indians 95-67. So the Tribe still has a shot!

I always get this mixed up, but can someone explain to me how the Playoff Matchup's are Set up?
Ok, for instance, the Cardinals have the Best Record in the National League, so would they take on the team in the National League with the Worst Record? or would they take on the Wild Card Team?
I always thought it was that the Best record played the Worst Record
So that would pretty much mean that in the 1st round, the matchups would look like this...
Cardinals -vs- Padres
Braves -vs- Astros
OR, if Phillies won the Wildcard, it would be Braves -vs- Padres, Cardinals -vs- Phillies (Since you can't face a team in the playoffs that is in your same division)
White Sox -vs- Angels
Yankees or Red Sox -vs- Indians or Yankees or Red Sox
Of course, it depends on what the Angels do also, if they end up with a worse record than the Yankees/Red Sox/Indians, than they would face the White Sox in the 1st Round
Subject: Re: 2005 Baseball season
Written By: RockandRollFan on 10/02/05 at 10:10 am
Now it's simple...the Yanks won the East Division and Cleveland must beat the White Sox today and hope for a Boston loss to earn a 1 game playoff for the wild-card tomorrow. In the NL Philly must win and hope for a Houston loss to force a one game playoff as well. And at or near the bottom: The Royals clinched worst long ago but today Colorado must win or at least hope for a Pirate loss to either not be worst in the NL or tie with Pittsburgh. Colorado already has clinched thier worst franchise record (Thier lst season they ended 67-95).

Well it looks like the Padres are NOT gonna win the N.L. Worst with a losing record; their victory over the Dodgers on Friday night was their 81st, and the Dodgers beat 'em yesterday 2-1, so the Pods' record is now 81 and 80. They will either finish at .500 (with a loss today) or two games above .500 (if they win).

Red Sox @ White Sox (In Chicago)

First off, I was hoping the Yankees would get Home Field over those darn Angels, hopefully the Yankees can sweep them

You and nobody else here included, I think Yankees and Braves fans are VERY arrogant but my reasons are much deeper than that. The Braves players and announcers also come across the same, most of the players anyway. I do like Andru Jones and have respect for Smoltz though. My biggest problem is the "Whining" that goes on. A few years ago ESPN did a feature on the Atlanta "Strike Zone" and it showed how ridiculously wide the umps let it be. Catcher Javier Lopez came out crying about it and whined to no end, yet it was true! The Yankees, while I respect people like Jeter, I have NO respect for thier resident crybaby, "Pay-Rod" especially from last years ALCS when he, on national TV no less, swatted the ball out of the 1st basemans glove and actually had the stones to complain that it was a bad call when he was called out! In my book he's always been and always will be a jerk. That's enough for now though....I just woke up and could go on and on but I'll just say best of luck to your teams as I have nothing against you personally at all ;)

He may have been a pain in the butt last year, but atleast this season he has kept a low profile, plus, if you noticed, he kept his cool and didn't charge the mound at all (It was a pretty hard hit to the back), instead, he actually had some class and took his base like a champ.

Astros will win this series. They have become essentially a wild card franchise over the past 6 or 7 years, getting into the playoffs year after year as the wildcard team. They did win the division once, but didn't amount to anything in the playoffs. I don't think the Astros can beat St. Louis, but anything can happen.

On the Braves vs. Astros seres---
Astros will win this series. They have become essentially a wild card franchise over the past 6 or 7 years, getting into the playoffs year after year as the wildcard team. They did win the division once, but didn't amount to anything in the playoffs. I don't think the Astros can beat St. Louis, but anything can happen.
It's great to see the Braves lose.
Yeah the name calling guest must've hacked himself to pieces for now :D
In a battle of the Sox, the White ones beat the Red ones 5-4...so Boston is on the verge of early elimination as they travel to Fenway Park for game three tomorrow. :-\\
And the Angels came from behind to beat the Wankeez 5-3 last night!! :D It was 5-2 going into the ninth, but Francisco Rodriguez gave up a home run to the leadoff batter. However, he managed to get the next three guys out and win. So tomorrow they will face the Big Unit in the Bronx; let's hope that the Angels can do some damage there.
Yeah, I gave up when NY was in the lead....what a nice way to wake up, seeing that in the paper :) Boston has been down before, but I think they may be in big trouble this time. I kind of have a soft spot for the White Sox since Boston won last year and Chicago has a starting pitcher, Brandon McCarthy, who graduated from the same high school I went to here in Colorado Springs ;)

All of y'all got all cocky there after that first loss, and John Smoltz comes in and shuts the Astros down. When are people going to learn, don't bet on the Braves? At the start of next year you'll hear the same broken records telling everyone why the Braves won't win the division title. It's getting more old than funny now.
Jorge Sosa pitches for the Braves on Sat. and he is a perfect 9-0 on the road.
Go Braves!
Go whoever is playing the Yankees!
Like the Rino said, the NLCS is going to be Braves-Cardinals. Braves beat the Cardinals 2 out of 3 at Turner Field and the Cardinals took 2 out of 3 at Busch. Should be really good.

The Braves have good starters but they don't have a bullpen.
If Andruw Jones can be shut down then they have serious problems as Chipper, Francouer etc are quite capable of having off days.
As long as the Cards bullpen dosen't self destruct then they have the stuff to win the Series.

I'm not worried about Braves fans that bother me at all. I just think it's funny how they brag about all the division titles. As for the Rockies, first off, thier fans, including myself, admit they were bad this year but being true fans know if they can stay healthy they'll be a lot better next year. Clint Barmes was on a pace to become rookie of the year until he broke his collar-bone, the pitching is gettin better and they have an all-star closer in Brian Fuentes....and we still have Todd Helton. Lastly, I was a Cardinals fan long before the Rockies were born and still am ;)

Winning 14 straight Division titles is not exactly easy as no other team in the history of any sport has won anywhere close to as many in a row as the Braves. So what they only have 1 WS title in that time, today it is much harder to win a WS than it was 20 years ago with the playoffs having been expended and such. I can promise you that if any team in any sport won 14 straight division titles (even if they only won 1 championship) they would be bragging to. The season is 162 games long and that is a long time to keep winning (considering injuries and such) and to do that 14 years in a row for 162 games each year is amazing even if they only have the one title.

I disgree with some of that. I would keep Reitsma around because he struggled do to a nagging injury he played through, before the enjory he did pretty well. Also I would keep Devine around. Yeah he had a bad couple outings in this series but give me a break the kid was just in college four months ago. Take anyone from college straight to pros in a matter of months and I am willing to bet the results wont be that different no matter how good they are. Devine has potential give him a little time in the minors to mature and learn how to play at the big league level and then bring him back.

The worst call though was that first baseball in the the eight inning.  Franco's foot was clearly on the bag.
But a 6-1 lead going into the eight.

Personally.. it's a travesty the Padres were allowed in, but that's beside the point, their division is so weak if you had pitched and i'd batted we would have won it.
My problem with the wild card is this.
The whole idea of the World Series is to show who the Best team in Baseball is. Any team can win a short series, any! Last year over the course of the season the Cardinals were the best team in baseball but during the playoffs, the Red Sox played better and won it. Did they deserve to win it based on their performance in the playoffs? Yes. Were they the best team that year? No.
Personally i am in favour of scrapping the whole 3 divisions bollocks, as i said earlier the NL West is ridiculously weak and the AL west isn't exactly strong. Have an Eastern & Western division on both Leagues. But when i say Western Divison i don't just mean the west coast, i mean pretty much up to Chicago. I won't get bogged down in details but because there are far more teams on the east coast obviously things have to be proportional.
Anyway then you have the two winners from each league and have a 4 team Playoff to decide the VERY best team.
The only reason there is a wild card is to add two extra teams so that there are more games on for the Playoffs. It's about M-O-N-E-Y not sport.
The Astros are a good team.. ok.. maybe not, the Astros have an AMAZING pitching staff and it shows, they had a better record than the winner of the NL West, but ya know, Tough shi* they're not in the NL West.

The biggest reason the wild card was implemented was because of 1993. That year, the NL had two divisions and Atlanta beat out SF for the division title, 104 victories to 103 or something like that. The winner of the other division did not have nearly as many wins. Therefore the wild card is not a money-only tool, it ensures that the teams with the best records will get into the playoffs.

I know. They were initially supposed to play game 4 in N.Y. on Saturday, then travel back to Anaheim on Sunday for game 5, but Saturday was rained out, so they had to move the schedule. :-\\ They had to travel between the cities during the graveyard shift; for all I know, they probably slept on the plane...or in their hotel rooms during the day.

I can see your point, the team with a better record 'should' get in, but the current system means they don't. It's unfair but lots of things are.
IMO, every team in the NL needs to play every other team in the NL an equal number of times, same with the AL.
None of this shorter series nonsense.
Let me break it down.
In English football (soccer) each team in the division plays every other team twice, three points are awarded for a win, one for a draw, none for a loss. There is NEVER any dispute as to who wins.
The Astros have a poor offense, Berkman can kill the ball but he can be inconsistent.
The pitching staff is the key but as Clemens showed. You can post a 1.8 ERA but if your team can't score runs you won't win.

Baseball is different, it's very division heavy. This means the schedule is skewed towards division rivalries.
The playoff system in baseball seems fine as it is. The playoffs are more for seeding, and as history shows, the team that gets hot at the right time will become the champion. Is this fair? No, but it does provide for monumental upsets and great sports memories.
If you hate short series, you'd hate the football and NCAA basketball playoffs even more, because they are single elimination. They put less emphasis on who is the better team overall, and more towards whichever team will execute well at the right moment. That is why we have great moments like Villanova over Georgetown or UConn over Duke, and why it is possible for crappy teams like the 1993-1994 Chargers to make it to the Super Bowl and get destroyed by the 49ers ;)
I never said that the system was fair, I'm just providing reasons for the way that it is.

How about the Cardinals' suicide squeeze play? That was really pretty for small ball fans :)
The White Sox won in major controversy. Pierzynski should have struck out legitimately, but even the TV replays showed that the ball maybe skimmed the dirt before definitely being caught by the catcher. The catcher thought it was the last out of the inning, threw the ball to the mound, and Pierzynski, thinking fast, goes to first anyway, and is safe because the ump thought the catcher caught it on a short hop. A pinch runner, a stolen base and a double later, the Sox win. Big time controversy.

Obviously the offense was good enough to make the playoffs and beat the Braves based on the current system ;)
Even the White Sox are confused about what the hell happened in that game. The Angels catcher was probably negligent anyway, because he assumed it was a strikeout and tossed away the ball, thus removing any opportunity of throwing Pierzynski out. Oh well.

Yeah.. have an equal (if possible) number of teams in each division and have an equal number of games against every other team in the same League as you. Screw the AL - NL Mid season Games, save them for the Playoffs, keep it exciting.
Thus at the end of the year the two teams on top will have had to prove they were the very best.

Why not merge the leagues and get rid of the designated hitter? Then you could incorporate the excitement of interleague play while doing it your way.

In that case, you should probably forget about divisions and just make it so that the top four teams in each league make the playoffs and are seeded based on record. That does sound fair but would destroy a lot of traditional rivalries because the schedule is now diluted.

Who'll be where in 2006
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
10/11/05
The Braves face a few big questions regarding their potential free agents and arbitration-eligible players. Here's an early forecast from Braves beat writer David O'Brien:
FREE AGENTS
RHP-Kyle Farnsworth, Lacks the résumé for Braves to pay what he'll command
1B-Julio Franco, Elbow hindered him second half, but he'll return in 1B platoon
SS-Rafael Furcal, Braves need, want him, but price is about to soar on open market
OF-Todd Hollandsworth, Looked old in brief stint with Braves; won't be back
OF-Brian Jordan, Sentimental favorite and leader, but too creaky for roster spot
C-Eddie Perez, Chronic shoulder problem signals end of his career
RHP-John Thomson*,Good pitcher, but Braves have younger, cheaper options
ARBITRATION-ELIGIBLES
RHP-Jim Brower, Solid work in playoffs doesn't overshadow poor season; he's gone
C-Johnny Estrada, McCann's rise could lead Braves to listen to Estrada trade offers
2B-Marcus Giles, Could double $2.4 million salary, but seems a lock to return
RHP-Dan Kolb, A resounding failure in his first  and only  season with Braves
LHP-Horacio Ramirez, Shaky season but still highly regarded; likely No. 4 or 5 starter
RHP-Chris Reitsma, Too expensive to keep after making $1.65 million in uneven '05
RHP-Jorge Sosa, Biggest surprise of '05, likely third or fourth starter in '06
BEST OF THE ROOKIES
C-Brian McCann, Very impressive as rookie, he'll play plenty in '06
RF-Jeff Francoeur, New face of the franchise will be lineup fixture for years
LF-Ryan Langerhans, Solid all-around player who could be lineup regular in '06
OF Kelly Johnson, Likely fourth OF in 2006; would draw trade interest if made available
RHP-Joey Devine, Big league numbers ugly, but reliever has undeniable talent
RHP-Kyle Davies, He'll compete for a rotation spot in spring training
INF-Pete Orr, Scrappy utility man hit .300 in full season with Braves
RHP-Blaine Boyer, If elbow is OK, he'll be in the opening day bullpen
RHP-Anthony Lerew, Braves like him as starter or reliever; he'll compete for spot
INF-Wilson Betemit, Hit .305 and played steady defense when Chipper was hurt
LHP-Macay McBride, Baby-faced Georgian should be in opening day bullpen
3B-Andy Marte, If there's no spot for him, could be attractive trade piece
LHP-Chuck James, Another undersized lefty who could compete for a spot
*$4.75 million team option on Thomson's contract for 2006 with $500,000 buyout

I'm guessing that Andy is thinking along the lines of the way football (soccer) works here in the UK. At all levels there are divisions with several teams playing. At the end of the season two or three teams that finish bottom of Division 1 will be relegated into Division 2 and the top two or three teams of Division 2 will be promoted into Division 1 for the next season. To add interest in the national league (where Manchester United, Liverpool etc play) they have play offs where the third and fourth from the top of Division 2 play the third and fourth from the bottom of Division 1. I'm not sure that this happens in the local regional leagues.
(Andy and other Brits I know that the top division is now not Division 1 but the Premier League or something. I just though that would confuse the issue)

Essentially, except you haven't quite grasped the playoff idea, your talking about how they do it in Italy ;)
Essentially you would have 10 teams in the NL Division One and 10 teams in the NL Division 2.
The top 2 teams from the NL Division one would go in to the post season.
The Bottom team or bottom two teams would be relegated to Division 2.
The top team from Division 2 would be promoted and either the second placed team would be promoted.. or.. to increase revenue, have a 7 game series between 2nd and 3rd place and the winner of that goes up.
Same in the AL.
It's totally different and i don't know if i'd like to see it, but it would shake things up.

On nearly every message board I go to, there is always Astros hate out there. I don't know why. No one is rooting for the Astros outside of Texas. It's not like the Astros are loaded up with a bunch of d*cks and dirty players, or like they have a history as being an annoying team to hate like the Yankees. Strangely enough, I don't hate the St. Louis Cardinals, even though this is the second year in a row we play them in the NLCS and the fact that we are division rivals. I still don't hate them, I'm more indifferent to the Cardinals.ÂÂ
The Atlanta Braves would be the only team that comes close to registering some hate in me, and that's because they always win so much, and there has been a long history of the Astros meeting the Braves in the playoffs every year. ÂÂ
I need to stand up for the Astros, and support the guys. I gotta huge kick out of seeing Nolan Ryan throw the opening pitch of Game 3 of the NLCS.

Ladies and Gentlemen, time to tell Bud Selig what i think of him.
Dear Bud,
You fudgeing moron. I'm so happy a wild card team has made the world series yet again. It's great that we now reward mediocrity in Baseball. I'm glad that we now reward not only the teams that play the best over 162 games but also the teams that get hot towards the end of the year.
Bud, i'm so happy that your fudgein TV cork smokers get a few extra prime time games every year at the expense of well built teams. Every tom, dick and Harry knows that anybody can win a short series. The idea of playing 162 games is to find out who the best teams are. fudge it, let's just play 2 and be done with it. Yankees @ Fenway and Red Sox @ Yankee stadium. But hey, let's repeat that 150 times a year. That's what you want isn't it Bud you old bastard, you fudgein retarded dick!
Let's reward a loser. A loser, they lost, over the season (ya know, those games that are supposed to sort the men from the boys) they proved THEY WERE NOT AS GOOD! Sure, in August and September, they were on fire. August.. and... September. It's not just a 2 month season Bud.
With regards, A.Rock.

This is exactly why I held off celebrating until the NLCS was officially over. Check my previous posts, I said it.ÂÂ
Astros fans are used to this kind of crap happening. But even as a fan who is used to this kind of BS happening, this is still just unbelievable. 1 out from the World Series, and 2 strikes away, and then this...How can the Red Sox, Cubs, or White Sox dare to think they are cursed? At least they have all been to a World Series, and actually won one at some point in their franchise history. And at least those teams are more loved nationally then the Astros. It's always like "ahhh, the Cubs/Red Sox/White Sox, how cute, they're lovebale losers". With the Astros, nationally it's always like, "who cares about those guys".
This is the worst loss I've ever had with any team in any sport, on ANY level. Hindsight is 20/20 and one might wonder why Albert Pujols wasn't walked in that situation, but whatever. If the Astros lose Game 6, then I think the series is basically over, because I can't see them winning Game 7 in St. Louis. What really scares me is that when the Cardinals won that game, they just treated it like a day at the office, they barely celebrated or anything. It didn't even seem to phase them that they just came back from death.

The playoffs in all of the professional sports are not meant to reward only the so-called "best" teams.  They are set up to reward the best teams by seeding them higher in the round robin, but anyone who makes the playoffs because of their record will have a chance, however slim, to win the championship.

Again, the point i'm making is this.
The wild card does not reward the team that plays best over the whole year yet is unlucky.
It rewards a mediocre to decent team who happen to get hot at the end of the year.
In July the Astros were something like 10 games under .500 In August and September they could argue a case for being the best team in Baseball. They got hot. That's it, they didn't play the best through the season.

It's not just that...it's the fact that if you only went with division winners, you do not guarantee that the teams with the two best records in the league get into the playoffs.  Giants were kept out by the virtue of the Braves winning in 1993, and if the wild card hadn't been instituted, the 1997 Marlins would not have made the playoffs despite having the second best record in the NL.  Is that really fair?

Then let's try something that is already in the system: the one-game playoff if two teams are tied at the top of the division.  Let's say the Cardinals and the Astros were tied at the top of the division at the end of the season and the Astros won, despite losing the season series 11-5.  Wild card = both teams get in.  No wild card = Cardinals don't get in, despite having a better head-to-head record, and arguably the better team would have to wait until next year.  Especially in a "playoff series" that is even shorter than the division round.  What do you say to that?  ;)

True. They made three divisions (West, Central, East) prior to starting the 1994 season. Had there been no strike that year, the wildcard spot would have been used for the first time. (And the Braves probably would have found a way to knock off the Expos to win the East division. ::))

Especially in a "playoff series" that is even shorter than the division round. What do you say to that? ;)
It's not the same thing. I'm not too keen on the playoff for a tie either. I think the teams ought to be decided on their record against each other. But it's still not the same thing, if you have the two teams tied then both of them obviously have at least semi-decent records. One of them should go through.
I understand the analogy and appreciate that it is a conundrum but it's a different scenario.

Having a system with just division winners doesn't work, as I have previously shown.  Plus baseball will lose excitement and revenue by reducing the number of teams allowed in the postseason.
Are you saying that fans won't go and watch their team if they have nothing to play for? Then they are not really fans are they?
Having regional divisions and having a system of promotion/demotion keeps the excitement up at the end of the season. You can then have a separate knock cup or something if you need 'excitement' in the post season. If they are still playing why is it called post season? sounds a bit of an oxymoron to me.

^ That is what I am saying, because Americans are more bandwagonish and fickle than most. Kansas City and Tampa Bay, among other MLB teams, regularly suffer in attendance. Even storied franchises like Philadelphia (despite winning only one World Series in like 800 years :P ) are suffering as well, and most of this is because the team does not perform.ÂÂ
A better example would be the Florida Marlins. When the owner "bought" the World Series in 1997, the attendance was off the charts in Pro Player Stadium, but the following year after the fire sale of all the team's talent, the attendance dropped drastically because the team went from good to suck almost overnight. This is the epitome of bandwagonism.
By expanding the playoffs to allow for the wild card, the league has taken advantage of the bandwagon effect to boost attendance in cities that otherwise would have no interest.
In many American sports there is an exhibition period called the "preseason" for general managers to figure out which players will fit the team's system best, the "regular season" in which teams battle for position in the playoffs, and the "postseason" which ultimately decides the champion for the year.

I actually ran a simulation last night (because I'm a nerd :P) to see if the Cardinals could have come back from a 5-1 deficit in the 9th with the lineup they had. Took me 18 tries to finally tie the game and have Pujols win it with a blast in the bottom of the 10th. So it was a foregone conclusion that the Astros would have won anyway, and even if Wheeler had faltered, there was no way the Cards could have come back against Lidge with those odds.
I think I'll run a simulation for the World Series too.

For anyone who cares:
I was curious as to what might transpire in the Astros-White Sox Series, so I did a simulation of the best-of-7 on EA's MVP Baseball 2005 on Manager Mode. Unfortunately the game doesn't allow for updated rosters to be used in this mode, so there is no Willy Tavarez on the Astros and no Iguchi for the Sox. I'm using Bagwell as the DH while in Chicago and Berkman as the first baseman in Houston. Frank Thomas is hurt and he sucks anyway so I'm leaving him off the simulation.
I COULD play all seven or whatever games myself, but I'm so good against the computer that whichever team I take control of will win 17-3 or something ludicrous like that.
Game 1: Astros 6, ChiSox 5
Astros score 3 runs in the top of the 8th to go ahead after the Sox belted back-to-back homers against Gallo. Contreras was left in the game a few pitches too many because I was retarded. Lidge got the save.
Game 2: ChiSox 8, Astros 4
Astros jumped on Buehrle really early with a 3-0 lead and go up 4-0 by the top of the 6th, but the Sox roar back with a couple homers to make it 4-3, then score 5 unanswered runs in the next two innings. Hermanson and Politte combine for two perfect innings of relief. Buehrle is unusually wild, giving up 6 walks.
Game 3: ChiSox 16, Astros 6
The Sox knocked out Oswalt with 8 runs in the first two innings and cruise to victory. The Astros made it interesting with three quick runs off Takatsu in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't to be. Garland scattered 8 hits over 6 innings and gave up 3 runs, striking out 6.
Game 4: ChiSox 6, Astros 5
In a see-saw game, the ChiSox strike first in the opening frame, the Astros answer and go ahead in the 5th on a 3-run homer by Berkman, and the Sox tie the game in the seventh on two homers. Ross Gload comes on as a pinch hitter and belts the game winner. Hermanson gets the save after a decent relief effort by Diaz, and Qualls loses his second game of the series.
Game 5: Astros 4, ChiSox 2
Clemens shuts down the Sox and the Astros win on the strength of Everett's 2-run jack in the bottom of the second inning. Lidge gets his second save of the series. The ChiSox are forced to clinch in Chicago, which I guess is okay.
Game 6: ChiSox 6, Astros 2
The Sox clinch their first World Series title in a bajillion years. The Astros go up 2-0 on Buehrle in the first, but Dye answers with a solo homer in the bottom of the inning and the Sox tack on another run to tie it in the second. The score remains the same until Konerko belts a two-run homer to put the Sox up for good. The Sox add two more insurance runs and Buehrle pitches a complete game for the win.
Not that it will really happen, but it could.

I remember that in 2001, Game 6, the Deebacks gave the Yankes a good spanking, 15-2, and won the next day (outsmarting Mariano Rivera). And in Game 5 of the '02 Series, the Gints beat the Angels by a 16-4 landslide (but the Halos came back in Games 6 and 7 to win the Series). I can't remember some of the scores in the '03 Series (in which the Florida Marlins beat the Yankes in six games) to know if there were any @ss-whuuping games.

Both have been with the Dodgers. Kent led the Dodgers this year in home runs. Vizcaino, I remember when he was first a Dodger; I believe he was in the game 15 years ago against the Braves that went 12 innings and lasted 5 hours.

How do you figure Lidge is overrated with 103 strikeouts, 23 walks and 42 saves? He's a good as any of the closers in the game.
It's because you don't like him isn't it? ;)
"Lidge had been lights out during a four-month span of June 15 through October 16, converting 29 of 30 save chances and posting a 1.63 ERA in 47 games. He allowed just two homers over that stretch before allowing two in his last two appearances."
and if you think THAT does your heart good, just wait till the Astros win the World Series... we'll see how much good that does yer ticker... :P

I want the Astros to lose simply because they caused the Braves to lose. Especially after that first base umpire said Julio Franco's foot wasn't on the bag, when it should have been a double play in the eight inning in game four.
I hate to say, but I hope the Astros lose so bad that it makes little kids in Houston cry.

That's not what the playoffs are about. In many sports, the playoffs are a way of seeding the teams by record so that the best teams can whup on the worst teams. Most of the time, the top seed can destroy the 8th seed...sometimes, there are surprises. They could have been the best team in the regular season, but if they choke, then they prove that maybe they aren't the best team after all. And that is what makes a sports "upset" so great.

;D Very good.
I've said it before so many damn times. GW, i dare say you'll agree with this.
The wildcard team, is the team that was best in September.. and usually August. There are almost always 2-3 teams competeing for the wild card and whoever get's hot wins it. Fact! That hot streak in previous years has carried on to the Post Season. We've seen wild card teams win several times. (and the godawful second place world series a few years back) The Astros were on a hot streak, from about midway through august until a couple of weeks ago, they were probably the best team in baseball. THAT'S A TWO MONTH PERIOD! We play 162 games, no 50.
I'm not anti-astro, i don't have a problem with them, but to pretend that the Astros were a better team than the Cardinals or the Braves is lunacy. (Of the Bud Selig variety) Anybody can win a short series, any team can beat any other team.
I realise i come off sounding like a sore loser here, but.. i'm trying not to be. The Astros played moderatly better baseball in the NLCS and won. They didn't however play better than the Braves, but i'm not going to go in to the atrocious umpire decisions in that series (or the NLCS 15-3 in the Astros favour)
Once again, i will clarify.
The Houston Astros finished in second place. They went on a hot streak and won some games. This does not make them the best team in the Major Leagues and does not make them the best team in the National League. It makes them the best team in September.

Getting hot isn't a case of being better or having better players. Streaks. Jim Edmonds is the epitome of a streak player. He'll jack 3 homers and bat in 10 RBI's in a week, then he'll be silent for a week.
It's not a percentage thing, you can't base the ability to win on Statistics alone. Statistically the Yankees could win 150 games a year. The players they have are statistically capable of doing amazing things, but they don't, at least not all at once. Same with teams. The Cards have the ability to put 15 runs on the boards, they don't always do it.
There is an element of luck in baseball. When a player swings the bat, he has a vague idea of where the ball is going, usually has a decent idea on how hard he hit it.. however, if the ball drops over the wall, or is caught be the guy in centre field, is all a matter of luck.

The only pitchers who hit decently that I know of are Carlos Zambrano, Mike Hampton, and that one dude on the Brewers who is in the bullpen but pinch hits regularly...forgot his name.  He hit a couple homers off the bench though.
Most pitchers just bunt, which I think is a waste, but considering how pathetic they are in putting the ball in play, it does make sense.

So by your logic, the "best" team in baseball this year, the Cardinals, were just a slightly streakier and luckier team than the Astros, who beat them when it actually counted.  The 103 victories does count, because it gave them high seeding, but they couldn't get the prize.  How does that make you feel?

Jason Marquis can bat. He's not great but if he wasn't a picture i bet he could play first base.
Yes, they were luckier. Luck has a lot to do with it as i said.

For anyone who cares:
I was curious as to what might transpire in the Astros-White Sox Series, so I did a simulation of the best-of-7 on EA's MVP Baseball 2005 on Manager Mode. Unfortunately the game doesn't allow for updated rosters to be used in this mode, so there is no Willy Tavarez on the Astros and no Iguchi for the Sox. I'm using Bagwell as the DH while in Chicago and Berkman as the first baseman in Houston. Frank Thomas is hurt and he sucks anyway so I'm leaving him off the simulation.
I COULD play all seven or whatever games myself, but I'm so good against the computer that whichever team I take control of will win 17-3 or something ludicrous like that.
Game 1:  Astros 6, ChiSox 5
Astros score 3 runs in the top of the 8th to go ahead after the Sox belted back-to-back homers against Gallo. Contreras was left in the game a few pitches too many because I was retarded. Lidge got the save.
Game 2:  ChiSox 8, Astros 4
Astros jumped on Buehrle really early with a 3-0 lead and go up 4-0 by the top of the 6th, but the Sox roar back with a couple homers to make it 4-3, then score 5 unanswered runs in the next two innings. Hermanson and Politte combine for two perfect innings of relief. Buehrle is unusually wild, giving up 6 walks.
Game 3: ChiSox 16, Astros 6
The Sox knocked out Oswalt with 8 runs in the first two innings and cruise to victory. The Astros made it interesting with three quick runs off Takatsu in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't to be. Garland scattered 8 hits over 6 innings and gave up 3 runs, striking out 6.
Game 4: ChiSox 6, Astros 5
In a see-saw game, the ChiSox strike first in the opening frame, the Astros answer and go ahead in the 5th on a 3-run homer by Berkman, and the Sox tie the game in the seventh on two homers. Ross Gload comes on as a pinch hitter and belts the game winner. Hermanson gets the save after a decent relief effort by Diaz, and Qualls loses his second game of the series.
Game 5: Astros 4, ChiSox 2
Clemens shuts down the Sox and the Astros win on the strength of Everett's 2-run jack in the bottom of the second inning. Lidge gets his second save of the series. The ChiSox are forced to clinch in Chicago, which I guess is okay.
Game 6: ChiSox 6, Astros 2
The Sox clinch their first World Series title in a bajillion years. The Astros go up 2-0 on Buehrle in the first, but Dye answers with a solo homer in the bottom of the inning and the Sox tack on another run to tie it in the second. The score remains the same until Konerko belts a two-run homer to put the Sox up for good. The Sox add two more insurance runs and Buehrle pitches a complete game for the win.
Not that it will really happen, but it could.

Let's see:
2004 world series: Boston Red Sox. First one since 1918.

Personally, I don't see the Cubs winning a WS in my lifetime....
Their best shot was in 2003. If they had beat the Marlins, they had a decent shot at the Yankees, but they choked and self-destructed.
If the lineup stays the same, Derrek Lee and Aramis Ramirez are excellent hitters and Nomar should stay healthy this time around (yeah, right) and he had been playing well since he got off the DL, so maaaaaaaaaaybe...

Nomar hasn't been Normar for about 2 years now.
Ramirez will be an interesting one to see.
Derek Lee played so far over his head this year it wasn't funny. I like the guy and think he is a very good ball player.. But man, the Cubbie fans are gonna have a shock in store when he reverts back to regular derek lee ;D

I would've liked to have seen a Cubs-Red Sox series two years ago. In which event I would root for CHC.

Theo Epstein, the youngest manager in baseball, and the guy who brought the Red Sox to the Series
has resigned in the eleventh hour. They had even announced that it was a done deal, but he never
did. It wasn't the money, it was autonomy. All the fans are in a dither, personally I think he may be
going wiath Manny, wherever that may be(the Mets?)
