SWEEP!!!! TAKE THAT BEANTOWN!!! HAH!!
Ah whatever. Their not gonna get passed any of the AL central teams.
chicago and detroit aint that great.
But they both have pitching which destroys the Yanks staff. You watch...That Yankee lineup will be quiet come October.
WE'll be fine!! we own detroit this year.. rocked them... we'll see whether chicago or minnesota makes it.. it probably will be chicago and rocked them as well.. without the abreu factor.. with it we'lre amazing
WE ROCK.
World Series this year!!! finally!!
all everyone wants to talk about is pitching pitching pitching..
of course we could use an ACE or two.. but we'll be fine!!
" ohh yanks won't make playoffs they have turrrrible pitching"
and now it'll be
" ohh yanks won't make it past the first round.. they have turrrrible pitching"
then it'll be
"ohh yanks won't make it past the second round.. they have turrrrible pitching"
then it'll be
" yea i'm an idiot.. their pitching is decent with an ALL start lineup.. they're good"
If they had a TERRIBLE lineup or even a MEDIOCRE LINEUP... yea pitching would really really matter. But when your entire team was an allstar in the past 3 years... your lineup is amazing... all we need is mediocre pitching..and we have that.
Ok...In 2003 they had a great lineup and amazing pitching and still lost. In 2004 the great lineup was silenced by the Red Sox. Last year they lost in the 1st round with a great lineup. The Mets will be representing the NL since everyone else sucks. The Mets will destroy the Yankee pitching. Rivera will be lucky if he gets in one game. The Mets lineup mimics the 2003 Marlins lineup with the mix of power and speed. Oh yeah and their 3rd baseman actually can catch and throw. But it doesn't matter, because I don't think that team will do it when it matters.
how is the mets pitching so great? pedro sure, but glavine always fades down the stretch, ever since turning 65. then who do they have? its not even as good as the back of the yanks rotation.
If you look at the stats, it's pretty much a draw.
detroit:
verlander is a rookie, he will be burnt out, he probably has never thrown this many innings in his life. kenny rogers is such an overachieving scrub, he drives me nuts. he stinks. and he is the only one with playoff experience.
chicago:
garland only looks good bc of his win-loss. his era stinks. contreras is fading, vazquez is ehh and buerhle is losing it.
i really dont think these teams are that great. chicagos staff way overachieved last year.
Detroit has the best team ERA in the majors. The Mets are second. The Yankees are 11th. So that should shed some light on how good these two teams are. Yes Detroit is young and might crumble in the limelight but they've been consistent all year. So don't be surprised if they win it all. This is the worst pitching staff the Yankees have thrown out there since 96. I don't see them going anywhere. Pitching is what wins.
you would think id get into detroit this year, being the underdog who comes from despair to be a contender, i usually love teams like that. but i cant seem to be happy for them. i think its because of kenny rogers. i cant stand him, for some reason.
I hate the guy too. He walked in the Braves winning run in the 99 NLCS.
I remember that game... I still loose sleep over it, I will never forgive Rogers for that and for that reason he has been blacklisted along with the Yankee players from ever being on my Fantasy Team... The Mets had momentum that year... Stupid Rogers...
Especially after the Ventura grand slam the game before.
Exactly...
yeah you mets fans must abhor him.
Let me put it this way, if I practiced voodoo, he'd have multiple fractures across his body. LOL! Rogers is just crap. I think he blew some big games for the Yanks before that too.
he wasnt here long enough to really screw us over long enough
