Re: baseball

if anyone thinks that leyland wont have them foaming at the mouth, i will personally tell you that you might know your home team, but you dont know shit about the game outside of it.

Re: baseball

I agree that the Mets/Cards are slugging it out to the death and the Tigers will be rested

I think this kinda cuts both ways. Yes, the Tigers will be more rested, but these guys are used to playing almost every day -- take a break like this, and you've got to get back into that mindset. Primary benefit is being able to use whatever pitching rotation you please without having to worry about rest...

I suspect it's probably a wash.

Re: baseball

no shit. imagine weaver and rogers in game 7 both taking shutouts into the 8th... i honestly wouldnt stop drunking for weeks.

Re: baseball

add in the fact that the tigers are playing great small ball and can throw 5 aces at you.... one being in the pen with zumaya. and thier staff in general is the best there is right now.

Re: baseball

what this series boils down to is this:

we're both essentially playing for the chance to get our asses kicked in the world series.

I dunno, I think Detroit has been riding a tidal wave of momentum which now has to somehow sustain itself during a week long hiatus. I agree that the Mets/Cards are slugging it out to the death and the Tigers will be rested, but this is still the same team that stumbled their way into the playoffs... without that Yankee beating momentum, they are no juggernaut.

Re: baseball

They are one of the few teams that actually deserve to be in the WS.

how do you figure that

kobe, at 345 yesterday i was talking to my boy phil, i DIE hard, life long mets fan. he was glass half empty yesterday though. oh yeah, FYI, i dont talk shit to him cuz i he respects the game like i do, i.e. he can watch an arizona, tampa bay game like me and enjoy it. but back to business. he was all depressed about hernandez and i told him
''dude, maine is your best pitcher on the staff, (something i have been saying since his second start and i noticed how much he reminds me of rivera), and he will go 6 and give up 3". well if willy didnt pull him, he was gonna make me look me bad, but dude, that kid is a stud. if they dont have him in the rotation next year, the ACLU should investigate minaya's racial hiring practices if sanchez is in there instead.

glad to see that the reporters and omar minaya were listening to me, cuz today in the NY papers, a few of them compare maine to rivera in style. damn, im good.
