Given your "homey" status - you must see the Angels sweeping, right?

Homey status? I'm sorry - no comprende holmes.

Uhhhh, as for the Angels sweeping the sox, i doubt it. The Sox are too good for that to happen. Though I've seen crazy things happen in baseball before

Like Tampa coming outta no where to spank the Red Sox and Yanks for the AL East title. It was like watching Groundhog Day this season.

Hopefully, that all ends this round. homey = homer (no hablo espanol, amigo)

It's going to be the White Sox and Angels. Papi has not been Papi, this year. And for all of Manny's criticisms, there is one undisputable fact. Come playoff time, no one can rake like Manny. They are going to miss him. The question marks about Beckett (another playoff monster) make it tough to pick the Redsox.

I'd really love to see a former Yankee manager guide his storied franchised team to a WS. That would make me really happy. Go Cubs. What, you thought I meant Joe Torre and the Dodgers?

Cubs vs Angels in the WS.

Not a day goes by where you don't hear the radio sports shows discussing Pre- and Post-Manny, and the impact on the BoSox (both the good and bad). Can't argue that his offsensive stats will be tough to fill from the rest of the team, although Jason Bay is no slouch (but also no Manny). Having Ortiz / Manny as your #'s 3 & 4 made it so hard on opposing pitchers, and that will be a soft spot going into the playoffs.

Speaking of J-Bay, do you think he's excited about playing in his first playoff game? Check out this pic: http://www.flickr.com/photos/15826539@N04/2904826319/

I think one of the best parts about us getting Manny was that we gave a up a 3b prospect that was always hurt and were not touching his salary. That and he really did lift this lifeless team. I dont think the Dodgers have enough to go all the way this year, but if we sign Manny it will be the start of a good run.

Perhaps a little too excited!

Anyway, Hamels through a hell of a game. They shoulda kept him in, he had plenty left in him. Lidge wasn't looking too hot.

Well well - Jason Bay's postseason premiere - not bad

Good luck to you Gasman! If/when Manny signs with LA all the goodwill bs he's been doing will stop and then you get to deal with all the crap we did from him. He's one of the best right handed hitters of all time and certainly helped us get over the top but I can't say I miss him. How 'bout them Red Sox!!!!!

I know what your talking about, but I get a feeling we are not going to sign him next year. I mean the city is going crazy for him but we still owe Jones 18 mil and Pierre 10 mil next year and there is no way they wont start Kemp and Ethier. The one thing I will say is, even though he lagged it out in Boston, he made Ortiz such a better hitter, I mean he has transformed the Dodger line up into a offensive force and we were bad.

You assume that once the Yankees season is over that their fans give a rat's ass about any other team.

Man, 'whoulda thunk' that the MLB DS would quickly turn into possible across the board sweeps? Not jinxing it, but it's possible (ok, I am jinxing it)

And, Jason Bay and Manny Ramirez are tied with 2 HR's each after 2 games!

Play Ball!

Although it would seem to benefit my Dodgers, I dont like the short 5 game series. It just doesnt seem like baseball.

Red Sox fans cannot complain about the Yankees payroll, anymore. I mean, your team has a $258 million payroll. After all, you guys own the Angels, too.

I haven't heard anyone complaining about payrolls, considering that the BoSox had the fourth highest payroll in MLB for 2008 (behind the two NY teams and Detroit). Perhaps I missed a post where this was mentioned...

You must me talking about payroll discussions in general. It's obvious that the BoSox are in the top 20% of this category, so this is moot. I do think that the Yankees did the right thing by keeping Cashman, and did the wrong thing by not being fair to Torre (Girardi's not the answer).

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Clemsonfan ·

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      My Swing (billchao)

      By klineka ·

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Hit my tee shot just into the penalty area and barely found it. Swung hard just in case I hit it. It was slightly downhill with a heavy tailwind. I don't actually hit my 9i 170 yards.
