:( It was a good season -- I'm just happy we made it back to the playoffs... it was sweet while it lasted. The Dodgers will be back in full force next year, hopefully with a slightly improved rotation and a better punch behind the plate among other things.

And if you DON'T sign Beltre?

There's no way they let him go. Frank McCourt has said he's devoted to winning and he'll put down the cash that is necessary. Green played well in the postseason, but his massive contract is almost up (as is Dreifort's), so they shouldn't be too concerned about spending some money on him. If he does leave, he's a megadouche since the Dodgers gave him a shot for so many years when he looked awful for many of them.

You can laugh all you want Bob,but I'm sure it truly hurts you every time your team chokes.Its funny you laugh soooo much at the Stros luck,when both our teams have something very much in common.

Yea you hate the Stros cause they play in the same division as the Cubs and yea I'm sure you hate them cause a lot of stros fans post in here,but I would think you or atleast some Cubs fans would feel bad for the stros or atleast root for them to take down the braves.

As I once said back in the MLB thread

Im really gonna feel good when you guys lose in a heart wrenching playoff defeat. I'll make sure to return the abuse then

But that was not just to vent my anger. 'Twas in reply to this post of yours, and I quote.

Please we took abuse from Cubsfan all season long and last year..I feel nothing for you Cubs fans.Your team choked big time and I'll rub it in all day long even if the Stros dont make it....besides you,all the Cubs fans in this thread have talked shit all season long...I'm glad it bit them in the ass.

But these were not your only hurtful words. Let's see how much more joy you juiced out of Cubs fans misery. Roll the clip...

I should feel bad about your team getting a game 5 in the playoffs? Sorry but I can't find it in myself to do so. I think this is what they call the circle of life.

All of that shit talking was only started cause of Cubsfan and Mr.Bob.Also last season,Im not sure if you were around,Cubsfan talked a whole bunch of shit and I didnt make fun of the Cubs last year when they lost to the Marlins in the playoffs.When you have someone like Cubsfan,who just happened to take a 6 month vacation :lol talking shit about your team even when they'e 7 1/2 games out of the wildcard...sue me if I got a little in the face of you guys and laughed up your choke job.

Mig,when are you ever going to learn :(

How old were you when the Stros lost to the Braves and Padres? How old were you when the Oilers had the greatest chokejob in Nfl playoff history ...on my fucking birthday?

I love that you stand by them 100%,but I dont know if its the Rockets championships that have clouded your mind,but Houston is a city of failure when it comes to sports and I have witnessed too much of it to believe the Stros will win tomorrow.


I'm hoping for the largest plate of crow money can buy.

Well, now I'm "rooting" for the Red Sox or Cards. Break the curse, or at least have one Angels player (Jim Edmonds) make it to the World Series and win.

Either way, it would suck to have both teams who beat the SoCal teams LOSE.

Fuck it, I'm making a prediction.

Oswalt (W, 1-0)  7  7   1   2  5
Lidge  (S, 2)    2  1   1   0  4

I know of the Astros chokejobs of 97,98,99, 2001, and last year. I've seen plenty of the 86 series. I've seen plenty of the 81 series. Rockets have choked away games, series, seasons. Oilers fucking pissed me off so much that when they left I became a JAGUARS fan....JAGUARS...cause we had no team in Houston, which left a void in the AFC for me to root for. (Yuc fan at the time too)

I've seen the Bucs choke jobs in the past 7 years up until finally beating Oakland in 2002.
AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE RED SOX.

No matter what happened, every time something RIDICULOUS happened for my team to lose....for my team to have no chance...for my team to pack it in and leave....maybe they gave up some times, maybe most fans did...maybe everyone did...but unless there is no time left on that clock...or no outs left...I'm not EVER giving in. Today, Texans were down 28-7 I think. My friend turns to me and says, "It's over...let's go find a TV to watch the Astros."

I turned and just stared right at him and said, "Go ahead, go find your TV, give up. You go ahead, I'll find you later."

I stood back up, turned around, and tried to get the crowd pumped up again. Sure....we ended up losing the game...but no one thought we'd even come close to even tying. Even if I did or didn't think they would tie it, I wasn't gonna give up until I saw the clock read 0:00.

So, you can go and whine about how all the teams have always choked...and how it's over...and you can "Go ahead, go find your TV, give up."

But I'm not.

The Braves are going to stomp the Astros into the tundra tomorrow and then rampage through St. Louis in their quest for the Championship. Or maybe not(the St. Louis and world champ things, anyhow).

But mark my words, Astros fans: the Braves haven't ever lost a post-season series to the Astros, and we're not about to start now. Get your hankies ready to cry into tomorrow, because I'm gonna be at the game drinking and heckling Bagwell all night long.

NO MERCY!

The Boston DirtDogs (best Sox website out there) are LIVID. That is a slap in the face to the Sox by MLB.

Where are the "Yankees Suck" or "Jeter Swallows A-Rod" shorts on MLB?

FU Bud Selig!

And on top of it all we have to listen to the ultimate Yankee rump-swab Tim McCarver call the ALCS. Will Vegas have an over-under on the Aaron Boon references?

Update on Shirtgate

Major League Baseball has now yanked the "Daddy" shirt from the online store. After the barrage of phone calls and emails, we suspect they had a big pow-wow and decided to pull the crass shirts rather than add an additional anti-Yankees shirt to the Red Sox online store. Stay tuned...


seriously, when did MLB hand over their marketing dept. to WWE?

its one thing for it to be a 10 dollar bootleg shirt you buy on the street, but for the MLB to endorse this shit? CLASSLESS.

Haven't seen anything yet that I've heard of...but Steve Finley has.

"Man, that's just a tough one," the Dodgers' Steve Finley told the AP after learning of Caminiti's death. "I played with him for eight years. He was a great player, but he got mixed up in the wrong things -- taking drugs. It's a sad reminder of how bad drugs are and what they can do to your body. It's a loss all of us will feel."

Sportscenter had a quote from Bags, but i don't know if it was current or an old one from before Camnitti died. He did say something like "I'll be with him soon" or something similar IIRC. DON'T DO IT BAGWELL!
