FR Baseball: W/E 8/7..Palmiero sucks!..Wild NL East; Yankees are DEAD; who gets the NL Cy Young?

one man's opinion...

[ken5050]

OK, all you Freeper baseball fans..exciting week on and off the field. As usual, let's recap the races, then we'll talk about off the field shenanigans...

[GraniteStateConservative]

Apparently that was the result of a bet by that idiot Yankee fan.

[Allegra]

Keep pushin' on, Astros!

[GraniteStateConservative]

You wouldn't even have this discussion if the Tribe weren't 27-27 at home. You're the only WC team fewer than 10 games back of the As without a winning record at home. You should fire your GM. It's his job to assemble a team that wins home games.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Last year was the year to catch the Cards napping and you guys blew that opportunity. Rojah couldn't get it done in Game 7.

[Petronski]

The Indians already played the really tough part of their schedule. They've earned their time they're having with the Lollipop Guild this month.

KC is by my count the worst in the league. I don't care.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I even predicted the Astros were going to do that. It's just how they are. They've broken my heart countless times.

I'm still a loyal, die-hard fan, though and I'll still pull for them all the way.

[SCALEMAN]

Keep pushin' on, Astros!

Just keep telling him over and over.."Aaron Boone, Aaron Boone" it's still painful..

[Allegra]

Thanks.

(Sigh...)

[ken5050]

[SCALEMAN]

dude..she's in Iraq....be nice..

Allegra, please don't take this as anything else other than a Cards fan having fun.

As a Vet, I salute you and what you are doing.

Carry on.

[Allegra]

Allegra, please don't take this as anything else other than a Cards fan having fun.

Oh, no offense taken at all! That was the sigh of a fan who's had her heart broken many times but still roots for 'em.

I work with a Cardinals fan and we are merciless with each other. ;-)

Scaleman..I was just pulling YOUR leg a little..but you're soooo eager to bury the 'Stros I couldn't resist....it was an easy target of opportunity..No way I meant, or implied that you were being unkind..kewl?

Well at least the Stro's have a WC chance.

It could be worse.

You could be a Cubs fan or ....GASP... a Big Dead Machine fan

[GraniteStateConservative]

But why do they suck at home?

[GraniteStateConservative]

Mo gives up a 1-out triple to Juan Uribe who gets home on a FC.

The-e-e-e-e-e-e-e Yankees lose...

Mo is shaky if he has to go more than 1 inning.

[GraniteStateConservative]

Carl Pavano out another 6 weeks with shoulder tendonitis.

[SCALEMAN]

Cards 3 Brewers 0 Final

SWEEP

[ken5050]

and the Yankees lose...my prediction of a 3-4 home stand looks good. Steinbrenner is due to erupt...any day now..
