MattZ Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Great game last night. Congrats to all the Cards fans -- you guys definitely deserved to win. When Chavez made that catch I thought that the baseball gods were on our side, but alas, they were just toying with us for a change... I'm sorry to see the season end for my team. I cant jump on any bandwagons. But I will be watching the WS and hoping for some good, exciting baseball. Looking forward to next year. Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Go ... somebody. Meh. I don't care who. I guess I'll say the Cardinals. So, you lot, in the red trim, go, fight, win. Or something. In the meantime, I'll be attempting to enjoy the last few days of the White Sox' reign as World Series Champions. Link to post Share on other sites
caliber66 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 The National League is soooooo boring. The Cardinals are there every year, and is it just me or does the NL seem completely void of anyting close to competition? Sure there was a forced game 7, but look who won. Am I wrong here? The Cardinals are an all too frequent team in the playoffs, kind of like the Yanks in the AL. Whatever happened to the Giants, or the Mariners. Diamondbacks anyone? Rant over. Since 2000, the following teams have made the playoffs: NL (10)Cards (6/2 World Series appearances)Braves (6)Giants (3/1WS)Astros (3/1WS)Diamondbacks (2/1WS)Mets (2/1WS)Dodgers (2)Padres (2)Cubs (1)Marlins (1/1WS) AL (9)Yankees (7/3WS)A's (5)Twins (4)Angels (3/1WS)Red Sox (3/1WS)Mariners (2)White Sox (2/1WS)Indians (1)Tigers (1/1WS) Looks like about the same level of competition to me, although the National League has sent more different teams to the playoffs and to the World Series over that span.

Baseball goes in ebbs and flows. Just like in every sport -- some years one league/conference is better than the other. This year the AL was better than the NL. What is the big deal? A few years back the AL Central was the weakest division in baseball -- now it is by far the strongest. Who cares? Completely void of anything close to competition? This series just went 7 games. It couldnt have gone any more games or been any closer. Isnt that the definition of competition? If you think the Tigers will stomp the NL representative, fine. But I dont see how that makes the NL soooooo boring. The ALCS went 4 games. Wouldn't that better evidence of a boring series or a series without competition? Link to post Share on other sites

MattZ Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 This guy needs to be out there every 5 days for the Mets if they want to compete. I dont even know how to respond to this except to disagree and say that I think the Mets, at a minimum, "competed" this year without Heilman out there every 5 days. But, thanks for filling your scripted role today. Link to post Share on other sites

But, thanks for filling your scripted role today. Yeah, but since they are losing Glavine (their only consistent starter this year) and Traschel to free agency, they are going to need more starters, and instead of relegating him to the bullpen (which can usually be filled with guys from the minor leagues fairly successfully), they should put him on the mound as a starter. But hey, why think about the reasons somebody says something when you can just ignore them outright because you're mad you lost. Link to post Share on other sites
