October already? Baseball playoffs begin!

I have no desire to even try and pick in baseball this year. I mean, the Red Sox are in and that is huge to me. Huge!!! So here's what we have in the Division Series:

AL:
Boston (WC) at Oakland
Minnesota at New York

NL:
Florida (WC) at San Francisco
Chicago at Atlanta

I want a Cubs/Red Sox World Series. I think that would get such huge ratings, and it would end one of the three biggest dry spells in baseball. Hopefully Boston's.

Dispite all the injuries, the DBacks were able to play a completely suckass season and had a very balanced offense and defense as neither could pull their collective heads out of their asses.
The team should be saluted for showing up at all of their games.

And paid a huge amount of money to do so.

Being a sports fan in Arizona has to be rough. Go Cardinals!

A huge amount dictated by supply and demand, I should add. Most players deserve whatever they can get.

Worth every penny. They have showed up every day. And will grind my heart under their heel in a few short weeks.

Cubs won't go to the series unless they let that goat back into the stadium. Watch and see.

Barry Bonds' ego will block the sun as the opposition's batter tries to get the crucial hit, pitching the stadium into darkness and precipitating a long and expensive lawsuit that eventually leads to baseball becoming a minority sport while cricket emerges to fill the gap in the sporting public's affections.

Just you wait and see.

EDIT: Punctuation and spelling.

Contrary to popular belief, egos do interfere greatly with ultraviolet rays but a fair quantity of light on the visible spectrum still shines clearly through them... allowing baseball to be played, and cricket to be ignored.

Bizarrely, there are plans to play a match or two of the next cricket World Cup in the US (the next World Cup is to be held in the West Indies).

Whatever, I'm sure we'd sooner see highlights of 'Magic: the Gathering' tournaments on Sportscenter.

Twins beat them fucking Yankees 3-1! Woo hoo!

Bonds and company show good stuff winning 2-0.

Cubbies are winning 4-1 right now, Kerry Wood was just pulled though.

No ring for Barry. Again.

Cubbies better win game five, I have no desire to watch the Braves any longer. The Marlins won in 97, they do not need to win this year.

Twinkies need to start winning as well. Yankees suck.

And by the way....

TROT MOTHAFUCKIN NIXON ROCKS THE HIZOUSE!

Word.

Sox and Patriots both on at 1? Remote will get a workout. Thank goodness the NFL has so many fucking commercial breaks.

Fucking baseball scheduling. Um, hello? Although a 4 o'clock start would help the As. Hmm...maybe the NFL should have pushed off the Pats start till 4.

I am generally annoyed.

Haha, I was just kidding. If you read my predictions posted near the top of the thread, you'd know that I'm rooting for the Sox to lose to the Marlins on some freakish 9th inning play during game seven of the WS.

Yeah, no doubt I'll have to listen to him lament about some failed pitch he's made to Oliver Stone for a movie about the conspiracy surrounding the Eagles' defensive injuries this year.

Also, that was such bullshit. Lofton made that catch. It sho
