Yup... Not to mention expansion, travel, etc.

Hard to compare records over the various eras... :sweat:

Plus I think you forgot to mention the use of certain performance enhancers :usuck: and I don't mean the kind of substances the Babe took in his day, not that 20 hot dogs before a game probably helped all that much. :hehe:

I don't even count those people...

Then again, I don't know how much unagi Ichiro eats, seeing that unagi is supposedly some kinda energy booster... :beaten:

Braves lose to the Giants, 1-0... With a little help from a crappy umpire call.

Well, shame on him for not sharing it with his team, looks like most of them needed a double dose. :rofl:

Not much suspense in the opening round, 3 teams are up 2-0 and it looks like the Giants are going to do that too to the powerless Braves. :beaten:

The team probably doesn't like unagi... Unfortunate. :beaten:

Braves defeat the Giants in 11, 5-4. :victory:

Rays stay alive by winning in Arlington tonight, scoring 5 in the last 2 innings to prevail 6-3, game 4 tomorrow 1:07 EDT. Same story in the other AL series as the Yanks are rolling over the Twins 5-0 in the 5th, :bleh: will be the 5th time the Yanks have beaten them in the playoffs in the last decade, just can't match up against the Evil Empire. :twisted:

^ Twins didn't put up much of a fight... Sad. :(

Not much of a fight is right, seems as though they're content winning a weak division most years, :bleh: they have the money now with that new stadium, sold out every game, should splurge for a big time slugger or top notch pitcher.
Meanwhile the Rays didn't roll over and die, :victory: once again winning on the road in Texas to force a game 5, this time in Tampa. Rangers do have Lee going for them, let's ee if he can conitinue his post season dominance, Rays have a fairly good pitcher in Price going for them though. :sweat:

Wow, the home team can't win a game... :sweat:

Twins should just refer to NY as "Daddy" :hehe:
Rays showing that the East is the toughest division.

Phils eliminate the Reds from the playoffs, 2-0. :(

Love 'em or hate 'em, no denying the Phils are one solid team, :applaud: think the Giants are the only team that can come close to their pitching. :bow: Speaking of them, Giants are now only 1 win away from facing them, self destruction by the Braves in the 9th yesterday. :bleh: Injuries have really hurt the Braves, their MVP Prado is out for the playoffs :puppydog: meaning Conrad had to play, plus Wagner is also out now, with the way he's been going maybe no balls would have been put into play. :shakehead:

I hate 'em... Both.

If the Braves don't make it to the Series, I'll be rooting for the AL team... Even if it might be the Yanks.

That 2nd basemen had like three errors. :sweat:

Giants eliminate the Braves, 3-2. :bleh:

You can always tell a Dodgers or Giants fan. Even when there's no effect to the standing of their own team, they root for the other to lose. :hehe:

The same applies for UCLA-USC. :mrgreen:

The home team loses again: Rangers eliminate the Rays from the playoffs, 5-1.

Cliff Lee continued his dominance tonight, :applaud: going all the way on a 6-hitter with no walks as the Rangers won in Tampa 5-1. Next up for them is the Yanks :usuck: this Friday at Arlington, gonna be tough against them but would love to see the Rangers put the hurtin' on the Bombers. :fingerscrossed: Lee is also a free agent after the post season, NY papers have already been writing about him in pinstripes next year with close to a CC type of contract. :grumble:

EDIT- You were a tad too quick for me. :shamefulcry:
