cryptique Posted September 11, 2007 Author Share Posted September 11, 2007 I'm simply not ready to concede the ALCS to Boston and LA.Jeezus Mulletheaded Christ on a Skateboard, all someone did was make a prediction that didn't include your precious Yankees! Get over it already! I love it when Yankees fans get defensive. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 The playoffs are such a ridiculously small sample, that any team can win. Yep. Making the playoffs is the hard part. Once the post-season comes though, whatever team is hot is going to win it, whether they are the best team in the post-season or not. Example: last season. Link to post Share on other sites
Kicking_Television Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Hey with all this talk about the yankees, let's not forget... they aren't gonna catch boston, and detroit is only 3.5 games back from the wild card race. Don't count them out. As you can see i'm more trying to convince myself of this, then any of you people. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't count them out. As you can see i'm more trying to convince myself of this, then any of you people. I'm trying to keep the faith as well. This series against Texas is going to be way more important than it should be. I'd peg the Tigers at about a 35% chance of making the playoffs at this point. The loss of Bonderman hurts, but I'll be watching til the end. Link to post Share on other sites

The win last night just showed how big every game is nowadays. Thankfully Big Z is ok. Link to post Share on other sites

tongue-tied lightning Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 look, being a fan of a bad baseball team, I'd like to say, try and except the fact that the Tigers are done.Yanks are proving they have enough pitching to win the wild card. Football is here, Hockey coming. Let's move on, and hope for good thngs during the Winter. next year we'll get them, my friends. signed, a Reds fan Link to post Share on other sites

I'm anxious to see how Rafalski fits in with the puck control red wings. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 The only other sport that I even sort of obsess over is college football, and my team's season is already over, so I may as well stay focused on my Tigers. Link to post Share on other sites

MrRain422 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I knew you were going to say something about that. ;-) It's not sour grapes or anything, it's just the best example of how the best team doesn't always win in the post-season. The Cards were a much better team in the previous several years than they were last season, and didn't win. So there you go. Link to post Share on other sites

jenbobblehead Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 Do you think paps and the red sox's own bloodhound are playing "go fish" or what? I am disappointed that they drink such crappy beer. i saw a NESN show one morning, early, called Moose Hunting with Papelbon or some such nonsense. He really is a complete and utter wacko.
