    Oh, no, it happened in 2013. Somehow I thought it was longer, there always seems to be a sweep every season. Oh well, still a good crop this year.
  2. Youk Of The Nation
    This has to be the first time in a while that none of the 4 division series ended with sweeps.

    So, what does everyone think of the leg-breaking slide?

    I don't think St. Louis is the only city where they love baseball more than football. I think San Francisco, New York, Boston, and Detroit, at the very least, all qualify for that. I hear far more about the Giants than the 49ers from online fans, and I have a lot of experience with visiting Boston, New York, and Detroit, and in all three cities I hear and see far more about baseball than football. Especially New York, as much as it pains me to say it. I see more people wearing Mets stuff in the offseason, never mind Yankees stuff, than I do the Giants or Jets (honestly, who admits to being a Jets fan anyways?). Besides, don't you think that maybe the baseball fandom in St. Louis might have a bit to do with the fact that the Cardinals have a history of success both long-term and recent, and the Rams are...well, you know, the Rams?

    Pirates. Almost all of my father's family (on both my grandmother and grandfather's side) are from the Pittsburgh area, and the ones who are still alive, mainly my great-aunt and various cousins and second/third/etc. cousins are Pirates fans. If the Sox can't win, I'll root for my family's team. However, I honestly wouldn't mind if any of the teams in it besides the Cardinals won. The Mets, Pirates, Dodgers, Blue Jays, Royals, and Cubs haven't won in a while, the most recent championship from that group was 1993. The Astros and Rangers have never won. As long as the Cardinals don't win, we're guaranteed to see a WS champion who either hasn't one one yet or hasn't won in at least two decades, and as a baseball fan that's good enough for me. If I have to choose: Pirates Royals Astros Blue Jays Rangers Cubs Mets Dodgers World Series cancelled due to weather World Series cancelled due to asteroid strike World Series cancelled due to alien invasion Cardinals

    Well, that was an anticlimactic end to the Yankees magical season. It's a lot like a guy who lives paycheck to paycheck, eating nothing but Ramen noodles and peanut butter sandwiches and spending the few bucks he has left every week on lottery tickets. Then, after a year of struggling and barely making ends meet, he wins the powerball, and on his way to the lottery HQ to cash the ticket he's hit by a bus. I approve.

    There's no similarity in personality, but there is in writing style, especially when you're debating things. And also the ovaries, as Spud pointed out.

    It would be hard for 2016 to be worse.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this. Except for the savant-level encyclopedic knowledge of even the most obscure music, of course. No one knew music like her, including people whose actual jobs are to know music.

    Like CC Sabathia.

    I also hope he gets the help he needs. Not only because I know what struggling with a serious drinking problem is like, but also because I would love for him to get better and go back to dragging the Yankees pitching staff down like a squishy anchor.

    Yeah, Jeter's last few Gold Gloves were won due to the name on the back of his jersey, combined with the logo on the front of it. If he had only one of those two things, his legacy and retirement would have been accompanied by far less fanfare.

    I think you might be taking too much from a story written by a retired player in a book published a decade after the action was allegedly taken. Pedro mentioning that Theo added a couple MPH to a radar gun shouldn't really cast any doubt on the entire process of collecting and analyzing data. If data falsification was something that happened regularly, I'm sure something far more damaging would have been revealed as a scandal by now. These things don't stay quiet for long. The cocaine thing in the 80's, the multiple steroid scandals, clubhouse problems. The only doubt this should raise in any of us is in the readings of radar guns, and most of us never trusted those readings anyways. I've been pulled over for speeding too many times to believe what a radar gun says.

    17Ks for Scherzer. One fielding error away from a perfect game.
  15. Youk Of The Nation
    It was only more exciting if you weren't being euphemistic.

    I was in the midst of a long and complex debate about Star Trek on another message board. Does that count as having a- ah, hell, of course it doesn't.
  17. Youk Of The Nation
    Do you imagine John de Lancie's voice when I post, too? It's actually a good voice to read my posts in. Snide, arrogant, occasionally irreverent...
  18. Youk Of The Nation
    No one had them in, and you don't count. You have them in every year, no matter how bad they look on paper to start the season. The Yankees made it in by virtue of playing way over their heads for the first 2/3rds of the season combined with the Red Sox, Orioles, Tigers, and one or two other teams playing far worse than expected. The Yankees making it into the Wild Card game in the last week of the season had little to do with good planning or execution on behalf of ownership and management. I wouldn't get too invested in the postseason this year.
  19. Youk Of The Nation
    Who are the biggest pitching FAs this offseason? I actually don't know that, so I'm kind of curious.
  20. Youk Of The Nation
    I'd say something funny and simultaneously insulting, but it would be a waste of time, since you'd never see it. You only post once or twice a month, and then only if the Red Sox are doing poorly. You're the worst kind of Yankees fan. At least Jacko sticks around every day whether the Yankees are winning or not. You just come in when the Sox are at their lowest to be smug and gloat about the Yankees stumbling ass-backwards into a one-game playoff by the skin of their overpaid asses. Where were you the last three days in a row? Oops, looks like I ended up being insulting anyways. I do go on sometimes.

    I prefer brownies at room temperature, rather than hot or still warm. At room temperature, the edge pieces get a little crunchier, and as everyone knows, the edge pieces are the best pieces.
  22. Youk Of The Nation
    That is pretty funny. Cool of him, too, to have a sense of humor about it.
  23. Youk Of The Nation
    No matter how bad things get, no matter how angry we might get at each other, there is always one thing we will all unconditionally agree on: f*** the New York Yankees. Just f*** those guys.
  24. Youk Of The Nation
    The Yankees will be lucky to make it past the Wild Card Game. They're really awful. They're only in the postseason by virtue of playing way above their heads for the first half of the season.
  25. Youk Of The Nation
    I don't know who it would be either, which is why I asked if I was missing something. I was just wondering if you were poking at someone here or just everyone in general who thought Ortiz was done.
