I think you overuse exclamation marks. But I'm just picky, don't worry. You sound enthused, that's always a plus
I think we have no place in the playoffs if we can't win the East. The point is to win. 2nd place in the East is nothing but the first loser. I would be happy if we got into the playoffs through the wild card, but I believe that in the first round, we would have absolutely no shot at getting through the Tigers coming off of the regular season. Let some other team give the Tigers a dose of postseason play before we handle them (assuming an advancement to the ALCS, even though as things look now, I'm not too optimistic about that at all). We needed a starter, and we got nothing done. Our #3 starter is a rookie who's struggling mightily right now, and running out of gas down the stretch. Wells, I can't say anything abuot him until I see him go out and pitch a bit more. Jason Johnson is penciled in for a loss (don't think for a minute you'll ever see another outing like that from him again).
I want the East. If we can't finish ahead of the Yankees, then I don't see how this team will survive in the playoffs.
Welcome back, I see you joined back in January, but I hope you decide to stick around this time. :thumbsup:
Also, your avatar reminds me of a modern day fairweather "Red Sox fan."
