Lol where'd ya pull that from?
So, by your logic, he would have let Alex Gonzales hit with the game on the line if it got to him?
Lol ok.
Hell, he might've let 'Tek hit, who hits reasonably well against lefties, defeating the basis of your argument.
I'm still not sold on the Angels deal, basically because of the fact that there were a TON of over-achievers on that team that never got exposed.
However, given the recent appearance of such statistical data, defeat must be admitted.
I don't think any of us has taken it that far.
However, as stated earlier, the amount of variables in a short series makes predicting a winner extremely difficult.
Sometimes a team that is head and shoulders better meets a lesser team with enormous momentum and better health, and then strange s*** happens.
That's about the size of it.
*Sigh*
It's not about being right, my good sir.
It's about discussion.
If you don't like discussion (very civil discussion btw) then this isn't the place for you.
Exactly the point of the argument in the first place?
We were talking about the postseason being a "crapshoot" because the best team doesn't always win because of all the variables involved.
And............two minutes later there come the vultures with fantastic opinions that do not pertain the root of the argument.
Well done.
The thing is RSR, that you need to remember the fact that they had a really really really good bullpen, and a couple of overachievers in the rotation.
Remember Ramon Ortiz?
