Most likely. Swallowing is starting to become an adventure in pain. :sweat:

I want a 3 day weekend also :beaten:

I know what you mean. Sore throats are the WORST part of being sick. :shakehead:

Atlanta comes back and beats Houston in 11 innings, 4-2.

Oh well.


Dodgers leads the Cards 1-0 in the 2nd inning, but the Cards are threatening. :sweat:

2 out hitting will win games and the Cards did just that. Damn that offense is scary. Maybe a Boston vs St. Louis World Series would be good. In my mind, the 2 most potent offenses. Of course those guys over in NY have a nice offense as well. :hehe:

Yep. And the Yanks seems to always have that postseason magic...


Dodgers in the hole 3-1.... Man, their pitching isn't doing it. :shakehead:

I think Weaver is too inconsistent, hence why the Yankess got rid of him. Too emotional which can be good and bad but worked against him there. See, if only my Giants won the wild card then your Dodgers would be playing Atlanta :hehe: :hehe:

Elt, you're right about the clutch two out hitting of the Cards: they're sticking it to the Dodgers again, 8-3... :shakehead:

The Mike Piazza curse lives!

And that's with Rolen owning a whopping .000 BA so far too! :beaten:

He didn't put a curse on them: the curse is that fact that the Dodgers traded possibly the best hitting catcher in history because the didn't want to meet his salary demands... Really odd since they later paid major bucks for oft-injured Kevin Brown, who only plays once every four or five games....

This is like the famous Babe Ruth curse: in 1912 (?) the Bosox traded Ruth to the Yanks for cash and second-level players (the Bosox owner was a Broadway entrepreneur) and the Bosox haven't won a World Series since winning in 1912.... :shakehead:

Seems like the Dodgers give away everyone good, especially pitchers!!!

Pedro Martinez, the pitchers for the A's in the late 80's (I can't remember but there were 2 - names anyone?)...

Bob "Sentimental Lady" Welch was one of them.

He even won a Cy Young for the A's in 1990, won 27 games that year.
