Hmmm...even the Annual off-topic baseball thread gets off-topic.

And I had such hope for my Bears this year - a .500 season looked very possible. But, at least no one on Bears has been ejected this year. I didn't see the Lions/Ravens game, but I did hear the players thought the referees were too emotional that game. Huh? What does that mean? And how does that affect the players acting like jerks, losing their cool, and getting ejected?

Sigh...this site could be such a great resource...

What??? You mean the baseball playoffs have started?? How are my Mariners doing?

Seriously, as much as I hate the Yankees, I can't seem to bring myself to root for the Angels either...guess I'm gonna have to start liking the White Sox...

Nope...can't root for them either - too many former Yankees pitchers. Gotta go for St. Louis and ChiSox series now...

Hmmm...the AL East is irrelevant. And for that matter, so is the NL East. The heartland rules!

And to show how much "respect" the White Sox are getting - the Angels are still favored, even though they just lost their best pitcher (perhaps for the season), and they're going to play three games in three days in three different time zones.

Yea, yea, I know JR - the Cubs are just as irrelevant. But, doesn't it ruffle the feathers just a little to put the Yankees, Red Sox, and Cubs all in the same, irrelevant boat? (At least they're not Kansas City...)

Nope.....because I don't put the Cubs in the same boat as the Yanks or the BoSox. That boat is reserved for teams that have won a World Series since you or your grandparents were born.

Go White Sox!

Well...oh, yea?! (How's that for a snappy come-back?)

If you're trying to ruffle my feathers with the White Sox comment, it's not working. For most of us Cub fans, we don't have a problem with the Sox. I'm actually rooting for them. However, Sox fans really hate the Cubs. I think it has to do with some inferiorty complex; most of the media in Chicago talks about the Cubs, Wrigley Field, yada, yada, and the White Sox have been an afterthought over the years.

Now, if you're looking to ruffle my feathers, just mention the Cardinals...

Chicago/St. Louis is a quite a rivalry, but for some reason, it doesn't quite feel right. What could it be, what could it be???

As a Yankee fan long since transplanted in Orioles country, I can tell you that the O's fans are awakening from their drunken stupor yelling out, "How 'bout them O's hon?" When told of the O's demise now that the post season is here, they indignantly reply, "Big deal, we'll just watch the Ravens kick some a$$!!" Ahem.

Time to return to their drunken stupor. (hiccup)

I just like the way the White Sox play. And Ozzie is a hoot-- he's a breath of fresh air. And I do like an underdog too. Hell, the White Sox haven't won a World Series in.....well.... almost as long as the other Chicago team. And that's one helluva loooooong time.

St. Louis?

In the immortal words of Bill the Cat-"Phhbbbbbbt"

Tony LaRussa is the biggest phony in all of baseball. And that includes the used car salesman from Milwaukee that got appointed Head Handpuppet by his fellow owners. LaRussa basically hasn't won squat except for the one World Series back in '89 when he had a team that, at that time, was labelled the greatest team of all time. Well, Mr. Genius won exactly 1 World Series with that "Greatest Team of all Time" and it took a freaking earthquake to help him win that one.

All you need to know about Tony LaRusso is the defense he gave out in favor of Mark McGwire--"No,no,no......my Markie would never use 'roids. Not my Markie". But, hey, let's not talk about that....it's all in the past.

Come to think of it, LaRussa is supposed to have a Ph.D, doesn't he? I wonder if he got it in chemistry? Hmmmmmm.....

Heard this on the radio this morning. Matsui came up to bat 5 times last night with runners on base. He went 0-for-5. He's only the second player in baseball history to go 0-for-5 with runners on base in a single post-season game. The first?

Bill Buckner, Game 6, 1986 World Series.

You know you had a bad night when you're the first player ever to fail that badly at the plate, and that's not why you're remembered for the game.

Matsui had a dreadful series vs Aneheim...LA...whateverthehecktheycallthemselvesth esedays...

4 for 20, hitless in the last 2 games.

But he was a key to the last 10 game push, 15 for 38 = .395

Can't complain about that.
