I read this somewhere... I would give credit if I remembered where:

There\'s something ridiculous about the MLB playoff schedule when...

Even if the Angels get swept out of the ALCS, they will have had as many days off (six) from their first to last playoff game (Oct. 8-20) as they had from the All-Star Break to the end of the regular season (July 16-Oct. 4).


That is ridiculous. The Angels getting swept.

I have no idea what team was playing the Yanks tonight. 3 errors and C.C. just dominating.
Lace \'em up tomorrow men!

I would rather have A-Rod on 1st as the tying run then pitching to him in extra innings. Fucking stupid move.
Great Game though.
Fuck.

I am not a yankees fan, but i was raised by a diehard one.  and last night was a game that had my pops dancing wherever in this afterlife he may be....   wow.  now thats a baseball game.    Every time it went into extra innings, i kept saying we\'d watch a movie instead but before i knew it was like 1 am and 13 innings later....

Why the fuck am I listening to Doug Gottleib on ESPN?  Aren\'t the Yankees supposed to be on ESPN radio?  It\'s bad enough that the fucking game is a 4:00 start...  FUCKING PISSED...

In how many of those games was Reggie on the juice?

A-Roid vs Bonds
A-Roid vs Manny
A-Roid vs Ortiz
would make better comparisons.

From 2009-2020, A-Roid\'s power numbers will be ludricrous due to the fact that he will be playing in a 1.5 billion dollar whiffle-ball park for half of those games. Who needs the juice when you play in a whiffle-ball park?

Maybe this is my own fault for listening to WFAN, but I\'m already sick of Mets fans agonize about the prospect of a Yankees/Phillies World Series. As a Red Sox fan, of course I would rather see the Yankees lose the World Series, but I can separate myself to a point where I don\'t torment myself. I consider myself to be a pretty big sports fan, but I can\'t believe that some people are that hung up on sports that they get their panties in a bunch about their team\'s top two rivals meeting in the World Series.

And, for the record, I think that Mets fan who are New Yorkers should cheer for the New York team. Otherwise, they should cheer for the National League.

This is going to be a great world series because all the games will be played at reasonable times!

Pro sports in general: I can\'t understand why people get bunched up on them.  Most of the jerky athletes do not care about the cities they play in, just the oversized contracts they get.  

The amount of arguments that are generated by pro sports is pathetic.  Taking personally the performance of one\'s preferred teams is pretty ghey.

out of curiosity, what do people think of all this down time between games, and the season going into november? they were saying (if) yankees make it, there will be a week of no play coming up where it will just keep getting colder out.
