pennant races - Page 5

W.HI.P · 09-04-2006, 01:48 PM

lol, are you still going on about the a's.
you don't know when to stop.
you look pretty desperate, as does your team.
still a month to go, and the a's reamin the a's.
just watch anaheim play, they've already won the pennant.
you just haven't realized it yet.
look at it like this.....
you're about to run in a race with a little kid.
you obviously can't lose the race, so you let him get the head start.
just to make it a little interesting.
and just when the little kid feels like he might actually win it,
you start running.
you see, this race was finished before it started.
you're that little kid ahead just before the man behind you starts running.
you actually have hope, but soon reality will set in.

The ghost of Babe Ruth?

WabUfvot5 · 09-05-2006, 03:35 PM

LOL! I'm sure this is all part of of Scocia's master plan. Your optimism is admirable but lacks solid backing. Please provide me with evidence that the Angels are going to win the division. Just "watch them play" is poor evidence.

@ Bruce: what creature will Ruth inhabit next year to ruin the Red Sox season? 3-1 it's an insect. Or maybe they'll get better pitching.

W.HI.P · 09-05-2006, 07:37 PM

time is my evidence, it always has been.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-06-2006, 10:59 PM

Next year ruth will be a Gatorade jug.

As in "wait 'til next year". Where are those rally monkeys now?

Oakland magic number is 7 with 26 chances left. Seven games between the teams, but should be decided when Anaheim visits Oakland next weekend.

714: Go Ducks and take the Angels with you, No Doubt.

WabUfvot5 · 09-07-2006, 05:14 AM

Heh, I thought he'd inhabit the stadium itself!

xoxoxoBruce · 09-16-2006, 07:48 PM

Naw, he'll make road trips, too.

WabUfvot5 · 09-17-2006, 11:24 PM

Time is a cruel decider it seems. Or good if you're an Oakland fan

W.HI.P · 09-17-2006, 11:45 PM

the a's still suck, and wouldn't stand a chance even if they we're in the national league...my original prediction stands ...ny vs ny

W.HI.P · 09-17-2006, 11:51 PM

my original predictions in the cellar which were

Major league baseball predictions

NY Yankees Slugger 3rd baseman Alex Rodriguez is the key to the Yankees scoring this year. They may not have started the season so well, but i predict that they're the heavy favorites for winning the world series this season.

Mariano Rivera without a doubt is the greatest replacement pitchers in the game, here he's shaking hands with Catcher Posada which has had a few home-runs already this season.

The New York Mets would have to be my 2nd pick for this year.
Another NY-NY world series? The Mets are a great all round team.
Pitching more than anything, That's Delgado up there in the pic.

WabUfvot5 · 09-18-2006, 06:20 AM

The A's still suck? As I thought, just pointed favoritism masquerading as insight. I'll be the first to admit the A's will probably get nowhere in postseason but they far from suck.

As for Rodriguez he does lead NYY in RBI... but is it him or his place in the lineup? Probably some of each.

PS... I don't see any pics.

W.HI.P · 09-18-2006, 12:29 PM

my opinion about a-rod has changed obviously, this was a post from the begining of the season.
...and i know, i had posted all these great baseball pics in that thread and some excellent hockey pics in the hockey thread, but one day undertoad switched something that made the pics not show.
anyhow, i would have made a lot more posts with pics as i have quite a collection.
okay, and since you agree that the a's are going nowhere, then we are in accord.

Love the way WHIP drops the Angels so quickly. Lame. Lame Ass. Here's a phrase we made up in Portland:

Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.Beat LA.

Who in their right mind wants the big market teams to win????? I'm from NY, and I am tired of the bullshit. 15 years living in Pittsburgh beat my Yankees spirit. I saw leave Bonds, Bonnilla, and Drebek after almost going to the World Series. then 17 years in a row with a losing record.

Why don't they just divide into Big Markets League and Small Market Leagues and have a World Series between rich and poor? What drama?

BIG-MARKET LEAGUE

NY Yankees
Boston
Atlanta
Baltimore
Detroit

Chicago Sox
Philadelphia
Houston
LA Angels
NY Mets

Texas
Chicago Cubs
LA Dodgers
San Francisco

SMALL-MARKET LEAGUE
Toronto
Tampa Bay
Minnesota
Washington
Cleveland

Kansas City
Pittsburgh
Cincinnati
Florida
St. Louis

Milwaukee
San Diego
Arizona
Colorado
Oakland
Seattle

This would be interesting.

WabUfvot5 · 09-19-2006, 01:39 AM

Ja, I'm just saying that anybody batting in that place it the Yankees lineup would put up good stats. Even A-Rod in a bad year.

If the A's are going nowhere where are the Angels going? I agree with Rock Steady. The lack of a salary cap has created a lot of imbalance. That teams like Oakland or Minnesota can even compete is just a testament to their organazations; they are still playing against a house with a stacked deck. The Yankees were faced with injury. They just went out and bought replacements. The A's didn't have that luxory. This e-mail lays out the A's success with Beane pretty well.

Mets have taken the NL East ... they will be in good shape if they don't get complacent.
