And I called them to win the divison....

I think I overestimated that pitching a little bit.

Plaschke: Scioscia, the former Dodgers catcher, is the model manager who has created an atmosphere of winning.
Junior:It's that simple. Mike Scioscia brings a Glade Plug-In labeled "Winning™" into the clubhouse and everyone who breathes it in gains 15 points in average.

You also

overestimated Johjima, Sexson, and their DH

But you’re completely right. Batista and Silva have completely sucked this year.

I think they're just eliminated from the division race

The wild card elimination is still a couple of days away.

HEY SEATTLE, YOU SUCK. LET'S PARTY!

Aikman and Bradshaw?

Please. They are in the same league as Trent Dilfer and Jim McMahon as QBs who were taken to the SB by great Defenses and great Running Games.

Yay Seattle!


Make sure to save room on the “We suck” bandwagon as we’ll be there soon, followed shortly thereafter by the Yankees.

Are you sure?

Padres look like they’re eliminated, too, unless I’m mistaken (a distinct and almost sure possibility).

The Padres

not eliminated because their division sucks so hard.

by FirebatM3 on Aug 28, 2008 5:04 PM CDT up reply actions  

Yeah.

God, that is an awful, awful division.

NL West

By a mile. At the absolute very least, at least the AL West has an elite team. The NL West is two mediocre-at-best teams (Dodgers and Diamondbacks), a pretty lousy team (Rockies) and two dreadful teams (Padres and Giants).

Actually, I'm an idiot.

Looks like the Pads are technically still mathematically possible. My bad.

Googling Terry Glenn

Is Stanback any good at receiving? He looked pretty athletic returning kicks.

After that what — Danny Amendola and that Jefferson guy?
