    I like this end of the year stuff, I'm looking forward to taking part in the 2005 player rankings debates. I'm sadly anticipating a winter of relatively little activity on the CPF, since obviously baseball will be over and no one here seems to really be into hot-stove bullshit.

It's too bad that Leiter is on a postseason roster this year (or is he?), because I enjoyed him tearing apart what Timmy Boy was saying. But I guess there was a 0% chance he would be invited back after that happened last year anyway, since he wasn't invited to the 2004 WS broadcast. I can't believe how much I used to like McCarver.

    Too bad he wasn't brought up earlier this year. I don't know what Willie and Omar were thinking. If he had replaced the Kaz/Cairo combo we would have definitely made the playoffs. Sarcasm aside, I was at the park for two players' first major league hits this year. Go me.

    Willie, you stupid son of a bitch. How the hell is it possible to screw something like this up? ]Piazza, who finished the season hitting .251 with 19 home runs and 62 runs batted in, said he wished he could have had another at-bat to redeem himself. He would have batted in the bottom of the eighth, but Manager Willie Randolph inserted Mike DiFelice. "If we had a chance to win, he would have stayed in," Randolph said. For Piazza, it might have worked out for the best. Had he stayed in, he said he probably could not have kept his composure. ---NY Times I loved almost every moment of yesterday's game (except for Mikey not getting another at-bat, but until now, I figured he asked out since it immediately followed his tribute), and this only taints it about .001%. A Piazza base hit would've made it perfect (or of course better yet a home fun). Only Willie could do something this dumb.

    I really don't think there's a chance in hell the Padres win this one, btw. Peavy gives them a puncher's chance in Game 1, but that team is pretty awful.

    I think it would be cool if the worst divisional winner beat the best divisional winner.

    Geez, this is a tough one. I guess I'll go with Houston with Atlanta beating Clemens 13-2.

    I'd like anyone but the Yankees, Braves, and Red Sox to win, though it wouldn't bother me that much if Boston won. I'm just kind of sick of them. I don't really want Houston to win either because I hate Roger. So I guess I'm going with Other.

    I'm with CookieMom on this one. If the Angels and Vladdy Daddy don't take care of business then I'd prefer Boston to beat them over anyone else. But I'm kind of sick of Boston, too. I'd like a new WS champ this year.
  11. Elster88
    I only chose a mild preference for Anaheim because I wouldn't mind seeing Boston beat the Yankees in the ALCS, since Skank fans hate it when they lose to Boston. If those Cleveland Idiots had held up their end, Boston would be trying to eliminate the Yanks today. Damn you, Cleveland.

    Torre cries every year: at the end of the regular season and every time they win a playoff series. It's a little old. But it's also impressive that he can get emotional when two of the main contributors are pricks like Randy and Sheffield.

    Unbelievable experience. I had seats in Box H in section 74 behind third base that I grossly overpaid for. Worth every....last.....penny. And then some. I'll post some more about it at a later date.

    Have to go with Bobby V. Look at the team he took to the WS. As for the "Davey created his team" argument, Davey didn't create that team, he was handed it (though he does get credit for bringing Wally up). And talk about Doc and Darryl being on drugs or whatever you want, they only won one WS and only went to the playoffs twice. That makes the argument a no-brainer to me.

    Expectations were not that high. I called 81-81 in the preseason guessing game. _____________________________ This post had the designation 143) Tracy Stallard

    Going to Mike Piazza Appreciation Day to get myself a hat and about ten $2 hot dogs.

    You can call me cruel and heartless if you want, but although I was sorry to hear that she died, I was not sorry that I wouldn't have the hear her call in to the FAN and cough her way through a five minute phone call while repeating everything the host had said in his monologue.

    I think the downside is that he will become a 10-5 guy, meaning we could be stuck with him. I doubt this will be a problem since he seems to want to leave, and, as our lumpy orange friend pointed out, a pretty good $2.5 million starter is not bad as trade bait. I'm guessing Trachsel hopes they don't pick up his option because he would probably get more on the free agent market. Didn't he sign his current contract at the depth (as opposed to the peak) of his value? _____________________________ This post had the designation 143) Tracy Stallard

    Trax was on the 2000 team? I misremember this.

    I've never been a huge Fran fan, of course the rest of the broadcasters around the country suck, we've been spoiled by New York announcers, anytime I listen to a Brave game on TBS/TNT I'm shocked at how bad they are, but then I like to watch TNT for drama and TBS for comedy, those commercials are getting annoying though even though I liked them at first, the ones I'm referring to are "We know drama", and the ones where they rate how funny something is, anyway I'm also curious how this will work out, I'm terrified that DISH network won't carry the Mets' station and I'll be stuck listening to the radio and watching in bars.

    I'm not into her. Vanilla Sky and her general goofy/huggy behavior on PR tours for the Charlie's Angels movies have ruined her for me. _____________________________ This post had the designation 144) Elliot Maddox
