1. Reason NOT to watch it....

The Yankees Are in it.

[dajoki]

2. That is the reason TO watch

3. How original

[ComerPerro]

14. But that's yet another reason to watch it

The Yankees depth ($$$$$$) will probably take them to the WS, and might even win it for them.

But, there is also the chance that they will lose in the Playoffs, and Joe Torre will once again prove to everyone why he is an overrated hack.

4. Good list

I like this one... "99. The possibility of Julio Franco, 48 years young, delivering a pinch-hit single in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the World Series to win it for the Mets."

LETS GO METS!!!

[ComerPerro]

7. The Mets are gonna get rocked, hard

If not by another NL team, they will definately get completely owned in the World Series.

The NL is just weak, incredibly weak, and I don't think the Mets stand a chance against any of the 4 AL playoff teams

9. The way I see it...

we don't have a losing record against any of the NL playoff teams, we are tied for the best record in baseball and the only other team in baseball with 97 wins (the Yankees) we split the regular season series with them. I'll put our lineup which has power, speed and hitters for average and more importantly our bullpen which has been consistently tops in the major league up against any team in baseball. Don't count us out...I've been dealing with naysayers since April and I'm tired of defending my team so the only thing I have left to say is...YA GOTTA BELIEVE!

[ComerPerro]

13. The NL playoff teams this year are a joke

[Oeditpus Rex]

5. '...where a bad column gets you stomped in the face'

Okay.

[reyd reid reed]

6. Only one reason I need...

it's baseball.

[Oeditpus Rex]

8. Well...

Half of it, anyway.




:popcorn:

[reyd reid reed]

12. The only half that counts,

so there

[Oeditpus Rex]

15. Well, I do actually care about that other league

to the extent that I want the A's and Jankees to be sent home whimpering, their prehensile tails between their stubby legs.

:bounce:

[LSK]

10. no Sox this year

So screw it.

[reyd reid reed]

11. They've got it for something like the next 10 years.

I hate it.

[LSK]

16. well, they wanted to be fair to others this year

And decided not to win it all. Now if only the Yankees would be so kind.

[ComerPerro]

18. AL Central was really good this year

[Oeditpus Rex]

17. Some divisional games are on ESPNY

Which I don't get, being cable-deprived, so... :shrug:

[LSK]

19. do you miss the Dodgers without having cable?

[Oeditpus Rex]

20. I miss watching 'em

I've listened to every game on mlb.com's audio feed.
