Re: Baseball Playoffs..
I will take a guess and say Wario's a Rangers fan...if this is the case, Wario is indeed JELIOS that they didn't make the playoffs, and even when they did, got flattened by the Yankees for one glaring reason - they couldn't hit. Name me one other team that has won a best-of-five series while scoring only one run the entire series. Simply put, it can't be done unless the other team gives up twice.<

Re: Baseball Playoffs..
Actually, they can hit just fine... But I think it's the other way around. Rangers can't pitch. <i></i>

Re: Baseball Playoffs..
That's obviously true NOW, but back when the Rangers were in the playoffs, they couldn't hit...they drew the Yanks in 1998 and 1999 in the first round of the playoffs, and BOTH TIMES the Yankees swept them, and BOTH TIMES the Rangers scored one run the entire series. So maybe that's why Tom Hicks wasted a quarter of a billion dollars on Alex Rodriguez when he should have gotten some pitching... <B>God bless America, land that I love; stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above.

Re: Baseball Playoffs..
It's also because the Yanks stole all of the phenomenal pitchers too. <i></i>

Re: Baseball Playoffs..
Hardly...there are plenty of phenomenal pitchers out there, and plenty of them were bought up by teams like the Arizona Diamondbacks, who are every bit as guilty of buying championships and get none of the crap for it. Not to say that the Diamondbacks are the spawn of Satan or anything; at least they have
ains and are committed to winning, unlike a certain other world champion of our time...**coughFloridacoughMarlinscough1997cough**...man, I guess I need to be careful; I must be coming down with something. <B>God bless America, land that I love; stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above.

Lesse if I can remember what my guesses were... Not that I care much, since Toronto and Montreal aren't around (and probably wouldn't cut it if they were)...<

Re: Baseball Playoffs..
Toronto once had a pretty good team...those were good days. Nowadays they need some genius GM like the A's have...that's really the biggest thing it takes to win. People can say the Yankees and Diamondbacks win because of money, but that's really only part of the story. The Orioles have money and they never win. The Mets have money and they're laughable. The Dodgers have plenty of money and can't get to the top (well, can't stay there.) On the other hand, the A's and Twins have jack-shizam for money and they win, proving that the difference for the Yankees isn't George Stein
enner's pocketbook but Brian Cashman's ingenuity, though having money certainly doesn't hurt.<
><
>I figure the Yankees will pull this one out with the Angels, likely in 5 games...seeing as how Mussina and Wells should be able to hold down the fort against a really tough Angels pitching rotation. The Twins and A's are a toss-up, really. I don't know who to take. The Giants and Braves are the same way, but it strikes me that to beat the Braves in a best-of-5, you have to plow the stake right into their hearts quickly before they do it to you. If it goes 5 games, it will be a surprise. The Cardinals, on the other hand, are a team I didn't expect to win. I didn't count them out, but with Schilling and Johnson on the D-Backs, they should be winning the series or at least even.<
><
>The Yankees will find a way back to the Series, where they will likely go 6 or 7 with the NL champion. <B>God bless America, land that I love; stand beside her and guide her through the night with a light from above.
