I knew Caroma would do well, him and Petite pitched a gem, a great pitching duel, but yet the Yankees lost. Lucky me my predictions that the Yankees will lose in the first round is coming true, I'm going to be 1-0 in my predictions. I don't hate the Yankees, I just thought their pitching couldn't handle a playoff series.

He was the best player in baseball when he played for the Indians.

Ramirez was more a peer with the second tier of stars like Belle, Walker, Bagwell, Gonzalez, Rodriguez, Sheffield, etc.

Well remember the year he hit .333 and had 165RBI.

Let's compare shall we?

Numbers are pretty close, but I would say Manny might edge them both out, more RBI, better average OBP, better avg OPS and better avg. Slugging between those three years.

Of course, you didn't state "From 98-00, Ramirez was one of the top 3 hitters in baseball"
Like I said...he was a superstar (and is) just I do not see him as ever being the best player in the game at any time in his career.

@ Cubs...I believe the turning point was when Zambrano was pulled in Game 1. But, whatever...ANOTHER year.

The grossest and most disgusting stat of the Cubs/Diamondbacks series: Chicago hit .087 with runners in scoring position.
Unacceptable.
Unacceptable.

Angels are out. So, the Red Sox and Indians (most likely) and Rockies and D-Backs.All teams advance with 3 game sweeps. Pretty impressive.

Looks like Steinbrenner lighting the fire under Torre's ass might have done the trick. Still at least 3 more innings for the Indians to put the final nail in, though.

I'm surprised the Cubs got shut out, I guess I underestimated the Rockies. Question; is this the first year that all DS games were sweeps? I think so.

As a Sox fan i must sound crazy but a piece of me was hoping the Yankees would win in 5...
It isn't the same going for a World Series without having to go through the Yankees...
regardless, the Boston will be ready for the Cleveland...
We already picked up our bug spray, military grade shit with DET, so their biological bug attacks won't bother us...

...and I was right about pitching Wang on short rest.
Is always, always, always, always better to throw your #4 over someone on short rest. Wedge didn't panic, he played the percentages....now he has a rotation set up for the LCS.
Pitchers simply can't pitch for 6 months, then go short rest and be effective.

it'll be nice to have Beckett, Schilling and Dice-K all on 6+ days of rest
