Postseason Participant Profiles

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

I posted this idea in the KTE thread, but Frayed Knot suggested I start a new thread to get more attention.

The basic idea is to write something similar to a KTE for all the teams in the postseason so as to prepare us for viewing these games. If you wrote a KTE for one of the teams in the playoffs it would probably be pretty easy to just update it for the postseason. Of course there are some teams that the Mets didn't play this season which would require some more research. I'll be happy to take one of those teams, the Red Sox, since I have some hometown knowledge. Frayed Knot has also offered to write up something for one of the teams. So we'll need 8 more volunteers, or if we can wait until the Wild Card games are played and then we'll only need 6 volunteers.

I tried that in 2006, after posting the MFY one that took me into the wee hours of the morning I got a few...lets say cease and desist responses for my project.

This is the thread that Steve is referring to.

Yea, I don't think that's the same thing at all.

That was hilarious to read, thanks Steve.

I'll do a KTE.

[Guest d'Kong76]

KC almost sounds like the voice of reason. Don't see that
too often any more!

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Mets - Willets Point: Red Sox
Kong76: Pirates
Frayed Knot: TBD
metirish: TBD

Anyone else?

Great. Now I can do a baseball card thread for the AL playoff teams that didn't play the Mets this season.

Give Steve the Yankees.

OH WAIT

/snap

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

I'll take the Doyers.

[Zvon]

So umps suck all over the game. Not just Met games. That's nice to know.

[Zvon]

This is interesting. MLB.TV carries the game and they allow you to choose which camera you want to view the action though. Individually or 4 at once. Five cameras total.

[Zvon]

The Rays move on.Texas folds.
5-2

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

The field is set, for MLB at least. We need 2 to 4 more people to get this thing going.

Mets - Willets Point: Red Sox
Kong76: Pirates
Frayed Knot: TBD
metirish: TBD
Steve Rogers: TBD
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr: Dodgers

[Frayed Knot]

If this thing does indeed get off the ground I'll take the Cardinals.
And the only problem with taking the Pirates is that they're not assured of getting beyond the one game. Whoever wants them should be prepared to take the Reds if they win the WC game.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

I'm taking the A's

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Mets - Willets Point: Red Sox
Kong76: Pirates
Frayed Knot: Cardinals
metirish: TBD
Steve Rogers: TBD
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr: Dodgers
John Cougar Lunchbucket: Athletics

[Guest d'Kong76]

I have to renege on my assignment. I have an unexpected
appointment this afternoon and will not get to it.

I'll take up Reds/Pirates then.

[metirish]

Willets can assign me a team.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

I think we'll just wait until we have the results of the play-in games and can start posting these on Wednesday and Thursday.

[Edgy MD]

Braves file roster for Division Series. No Uggla.

[stevejrogers]

I need to hit up Foley's in NYC for some Iron City Beer (they have some ties down there, and are a big Penquin/Steeler bar during the winter)...

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Mets - Willets Point: Red Sox
Frayed Knot: Cardinals
metirish: TBD
Steve Rogers: Pirates
LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr: Dodgers
John Cougar Lunchbucket: Athletics

Indians/Rays, Braves, and Tigers are all up for grabs. Surely we can get two more participants!

[Zvon]

Wow. Uggla dropped from the Braves post season roster.

I can't wait.

[Edgy MD]

That's a heckuva lot of players to share with an AL West team.

I like the Ed Charles card. Had no idea that KC wore red.

[Guest Mets � Willets Point]

Lunchbucket's already claimed the A's.

[Zvon]

Using that photo for Ronnies baseball card is just cruel.
