I was just reminded of the year that the Angels won the World Series. I ended up winning a contest held by a sports radio station. My prize was the chance to party with the Angels & meet them when they arrived home after beating the Giants. I did not get to go & meet them b/c I didn't have a cell phone at the time & my mom and sister did not call me at work to give me the message. They told me later that same night when I was in pj's watching the news. It was already too late. I was supremely pissed at them for days.

Nah, actually I think the Pads have a VERY good chance - I just couldn't man up and commit to it on paper.

Peavy gets to throw twice - and because of the scheduling quirks, he'll throw games 1 and 4 on full rest. He's considerably better than any pitcher the Cardinals throw out there - including the decaying corpse of Chris Carpenter, who has looked positively awful in his last few starts. He's way over his average innings and usage pattern - the tank is empty.

The Padres have a MUCH better bullpen, which can help offset the Cardinals' biggest strength - top-to-bottom depth. Also, depth is considerably less important in the playoffs than in the regular season - your starters (offensive) make most of the difference.

The Cardinals are a team based upon two incredible players (Edmonds and Pujols), and a bunch of role players - Eckstein, Grudz, even Larry Walker? Not impressive at the plate, and not highly rated in terms of VORP or other statistical measures.

The Padres, meanwhile, counter with production from nearly every position - and their regular season was marred by a stretch in which they missed key position players (especially Greene and Hernandez, statistically two of their top players).

The Pads most certainly could pull this series out.

Man - if only Ramon hadn't swung at that last pitch, the Pads could've still been playing...

We may be down one, but we're not out yet!

This would be a HUGE blow to the Padres.

Nah, just a continuation of Clement's horrid second half. The Red Sox aren't going down that easily.

True, I hope Boston makes it to face the Yankees in the ALCS. Wells is playing hurt, Schilling is still recovering, and with Wakefield it just depends on how his knuckleball is that day. All these guys have plenty of playoff experence so hopefully they can kick it up a notch. If there is a game 5 with Clement pitching Boston is doomed.

Wow

I'm stunned speechless.

I wonder who'll pitch game 3 (since I had heard Eaton was going to be game 3 pitcher, but this article seems to think he'd be the pitcher for game 4...maybe Woody? )

I'm still not counting my boys out yet, but damn.
