Just when we needed this team to help us move into first, they show up and lie down and let the Senator's do whatever they want to them! We
have won 6 in a row and haven't been able to pick up a game on them. How weak are some of the AL teams??

As usual, spoken like someone who has no clue what's going on.
With the exception of the series opened (which was broken open by a series of control issues), the games were 2-1 and 3-2, HARDLY 'letting them do whatever they wanted'.
Let's also not forget the Senators had won 7 in a row prior to this, making them one of the hottest teams in baseball.
Seattle played well, pitched well, just couldn't get their bats around quick enough.
How much are you paying him??

<< <i>you all got busted down to size 3-0...you could of at least won one game! What- Ichiro couldn't steal home or something??

How much are you paying Jim Thome to hit what, 5 home runs?

lol Look who's come crawling out from under his 1980 Championship blanket . Did they have the matching curtains that year ?
Seems like yesterday when Pete Rose made that great play by the dugout ...........NOT
Go back to hiding , you guys aren't winning anything soon

When did the Phillies last make the World Series?
When did the Phillies last win the World Series?
When did the Mariners last make the World Series?

Aw, it's great to be a baseball fan, unless of course you're a Yankees fan--then it would really suck!

1) Marlins
2) Phillies
3) Mets
4) Braves
5) Nationals
They may all end up canibalizing each other for the wild card spot.

What's wrong with you? 'That punk' is arguably the most exciting player in baseball...great with fans, it's obvious he loves playing the game.
You seem to hate and despise anyone not a former expo? Why is that?

His real identity is Gary Carter and he's pi$$ed that he missed the megadollar contract years by about 5,
and he hasn't been elected to the HOF.
<< <i>Frank Robinson is NO DOUBT the manager of the year >>
He has appeared to stay awake so far, but it is way too early to call that, I'll buy that he get's it for the first half but it's a long season. If the Cubs should make the wild card Dusty will get a lot of consideration because of all the injuries they have dealt with.
Cardsfan, I totally agree about Dusty, I forgot about him, my bad. I 'had' both Wood and Prior on my fantasy team and it's hard to believe they can win without those guys. As far as Frank goes though, the Nats were picked last AGAIN by almost everyone (these same experts who picked Montreal to finish forth in 94 as well), so for what was expected, if they can hang around and win 90 games it will be close to see who does get NL Manager of the year.
And Axtell, actually growing up Mattingly was by far my favorite player, followed closely by Dale Murphy (and you know how much I hate the Braves today) and the Rocket. I even liked Dwight Gooden and of course Tim Raines. I don't hate Willis as much as I hate the franchise ( and I don't think we need to get into why, it's pretty obvious). I also think Florida is one of those teams that won't be around in 10-15 years, and the 2 World Series Titles they won will be like a black mark on baseball (again, this is MY opinion, I'm a purist). Can you believe I was actually rooting for the Yankees to win the WS against Florida?--it's true. Them winning was sort of like Tampa winning the Stanley Cup last year or Baltimore winning the Grey Cup!

<< <i>Willis started the year on fire, and has now been figured out, just like last year and the year before. He may win 20 games, but his E.R.A will be 4.00 or more--hardly Cy Young contention. >>
Then why don't you say that in your original post, instead of saying ridiculous things like 'that punk Willis'?

The 97 Marlins team, yes, I can understand, they basically paid top dollar for the world series. But the second one? How could you root against that? A true 'team' atmosphere, some thrilling games, all in all, a great thing for baseball.
And what was wrong with Tampa Bay winning the stanley cup? Are the only teams who 'should' win championships old-time teams? Come on, the more teams that win, the better it is for fans.
Marlins will win the division.
