    agreed.

    but one exception to the rule is the entire NL West.

    since they sort of get into the playoffs in spite of their records.... lol

    question...


    why are players still being traded after the.... trade DEADLINE?

    did I miss some kind of unwritten rule or does it have something to do with running players through waivers?

    Huff, Scott, Ausmus out.
    Burke, Wilson, Munson in.

    per Gar: wanted to get Burke/PW in a game to keep 'em sharp.

    well bad news guys, looks like i'm being dragged to the game. Nothing more exciting than when the pirates come to town :rolleyes: . If chac was starting i'd be estatic, but no, we have to go to the game that a no name is starting. And i think ppl overrate this "crucial" series, the astros could lose 5 games in a row, and still be in a virtual tie for the wild card. Well, i'm off to throw rocks at chac trying to get his autograph.

    I figured Scott would sit when we faced a LH.....still a good stick off the bench though...

    Also, Lamb needs some PT...I wish he could catch or play OF.

    Thank God the Pirates suck worse than Preston Wilson in RBI situations.

    I just said " here come Preston Double Play Wilson.." he was only lucky that the throw was bad... :mad: Wilson has gone way down..Didn't we sign him for like 14 mill...? What a waste.......
