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.
