A big surprise and disappointment for me was the Mets doing so badly! At the beginning of the season, everyone thought they would definitely make it to the playoffs, especially having so many superstars. Instead they finished last in the NL East. And it came out that some of the younger players had been smoking dope... which sucks because MLB doesn't test for marijuana use, so I am more than willing to bet that the Mets aren't the only team with potheads on their roster :rolleyes: Bobby Valentine was fired from the team today, so maybe they can get a manager who can take them where they should be...

It wasn't just the "bubonic chronic" that was a Metropolitans' bugaboo this season. It was, among other things, Mike Piazza's sexual orientation being questioned, it was Roberto Alomar and Roger Cedeno going at it in the dugout and it was a lot of high-priced vets not doing the job.

Yankees!
 

As a huge Yankees fan I am very very glad they are in the postseason, though I'm not that surprised. As for Boston not being there, like someone else said, "the curse of the Bambino" but I can't really say I'm sorry they aren't there, I don't really care for them. As for W.S. Champs, I'd like to say I hope the Yankees win it all. And I'd really like them to beat the Cardinals cause one of my friends likes to tell me the Cardinals are better.

Okay, so that's my .50 cents worth.

SL 12, D'Backs 2?!?!? Isn't this supposed to be the playoffs?

Bernie Williams, coming through in the 8th with the shot that saved the Yankees.

I will officially be taking a radio and an earphone to work tomorrow - Giants 10am!!!! I love the playoffs!

Heck yeah that was hilarious. So much for Arizona's chances.

Just say no to 'zona
 

The most startling thing of yesterday's playoffs was not the Minnesota Twins beating Oakland, not Bernie Williams beating the Angels with a clutch home run (how Alf Soriano was able to work a walk is beyond me), but Los Cardenales de San Luis beating the Lizard City defending champions.

I come from a family of Yankee fans. The Snakes winning last year's title didn't sit well.
:p
