Another must-win game tomorrow... :sweat:

First post-season win for the Dodgers in 16 years. Hard to believe a team with that much "tradition" has gone that long without a single post-season victory.

Was that sarcasm, Greg? :beatyou:

You can thank the short-sided management/owners for that: trading away key players and/or letting them get away via free agency...

Argh, Atlanta tied it up. :banghead:

Rootin' for the Astro's over Atlanta, I went to school with Brad Ausmus so that makes Houston the sentimental favorite.

Still, the most important thing is to root for the Yankees to lose! :bonk:

Atlanta pulls it out, 6-5. Now it's back to Atlanta.... :(

Dodgers in a hole, 6-2, bottom of the ninth... Starting pitching kills the Dodgers again... :shakehead:

11 Oct 2004, 11:41 #406

It's all over, Dodgers lose to the Cardinals, 6-2.... Oh well. They got farther than anyone expected them to... :applaud: :applaud:

Time to root for the Bosox to go all the way...! :D :applaud:

Semi sarcasm...semi-just rubbing it in, semi-shock.

I HATE the Dodgers and and am happy to wallow in their misery...yet at the same time, I DO recognize that they are a "storied" franchise with a lot of tradition. Given ALL that tradition, it is kind of shocking they hadn't won a single post-season game in 16 years!!! Having said that...I guess we'll talk again about this in 2020 when they win their next post-season game!!! :hehe: :hehe:

Nah... I'll save you the trouble of reinsertion after the Yanks-Sox series... :bleh:

Very boring post season for me. No Interesting or surprising teams. Just Rich teams. Oh well I have more time to watch Dorama's now.

Well, I was surprised by the Twins and the Astros.

The Twins I never expected to contend.

The Astros were written off for dead, the manager fired. Yet they came back to overtake the Cubs and the Giants. :mecry:

I was also surprised by the Dodgers... They had so many come-from-behind victories this year... that's like magic on the baseball field.

Despite the season starting off with all the steroid scandal mess, I was still happy for this season. Lots of excitement. :woot:

Speaking of steroids, did you see that 1996 NL MVP Ken Caminiti died of a heart attack? He was only 41...

I'm sure that if the autopsy comes out, it'll likely be a cocaine-related death.

Caminiti had a long history of drug abuse. :shakehead:

I was more saddened about the passing of Christopher Reeve.

I did not hear about that. Was that recent? What a shame.

Yeah, he was busted for coke possession a couple of times, neh?

Makes me think about Rick James, too.

What a waste. :( :shakehead:
