if it helps ESPN picks the Bulls as the no. 2 team in the East.

Who is going to score for them? Noccioni?

Did anyone catch that I made the Cherry Pie joke before Coltrane, just in a more subtle way? I would just like it noted.

(now I am not being subtle at all, but that is not the point).

I realized it only through inference because I was quite sure that you would not engage in random capitalization, both on principle and to avoid the wrath of fringey.

It's actually pretty fun with music, lots of wine and four other people to help out. It's a group project. I've actually never made one solo.

Is this some kind of euphemism?

I am admittedly STILL basking in last year's World Series title, but this team should have been so much better. I never felt "it" this year, like I did last year. I just had that feeling last year...I think b/c they weren't dominant, but were solid...and lucky. And that luck rolled into confidence, which made them think they could win every game. I thought they could win every game.

I don't know how many titles the Yankees have won in your lifetime, but last year was my first, and it was just...amazing. The feeling really hasn't gone away yet.

This year, they were expected to be great. Adding Thome and keeping their starting pitching from 2005 should have made them great. Unfortunately, from year to year, bullpens are never consistent. I don't know what happened to their starting pitching.

The one real reason the Sox won't make the playoffs is Mark Buehrle. And I hate to say that b/c I love that guy. He's funny and doesn't take himself very seriously, and he has been a consistently good* (not great) pitcher his entire career. If he pitched this year like he has for the past 5 years, we'd be in the playoffs.

*even with his 12-13 record this year, he still has a career W/L of 97-66.

I thought you guys would win the division easily early in the season. I thought Detroit was a fluke and would come back down to earth. They did, but Chicago wasn't there when it happened. I think once Contreras' streak was stopped, the magic was over.

Thome is great, but the guy strikes out way too much. And last year your starting pitching and bullpen all came together perfectly. Hard to do that two years in a row. But that just means next year will be a big year for you.

As for the Yankees, '96 was absolutely amazing. None of these other championships has even come close. I still remember it better than any of the others.

Being a Yankees fan is great because our owner is committed to doing whatever it takes. But that also means that losing hurts way more than winning feels good. The Yankees damn well better make the playoffs. That is the absolute bare bones minimum. And I'm reasonable. So many people here think the season is a complete failure if we don't win The Series. I've sat at games where Jeter has been booed. Hell, they even booed Mariano a few times. Unbelievable. This is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately town.

I'll tell you this, though: If ARod doesn't have a huge October, he's going to wish we traded him. I haven't seen someone this hated since Charles Smith.

This is horsehit.

Go Oakland a/k/a Team Frank Thomas.

Is this some kind of sick joke? Do you really want to see Frank Thomas do anything but fall flat on his huge face? That guy is a bigger dick than ARod.

A-Rod's career and reputation are very similar to Tom Cruise's.

It was clear that you referenced the song by capitalizing the pie, but I don't see how that's a joke.

And who said I was joking? I celebrate Warrant's entire collection.

Where is PLF? It is humorous because I included a reference to a Warrant song in a list of actual pies. Like it's the same but not really. <sigh> this is hard work.

I enjoy blow jobs quite a bit. However, I like fucking more, and will always take a solid fuck over a blow job.

You had me worried, thanks for the clarification. Ladies, update your dossiers (and wear clean panties).

Apple pie is not that great. The smell of it is great, but the taste - meh. I only like apple crisp or apple crumble, not apple pie. My favorite pies are blueberry, pumpkin or Cherry Pie.

Cooked apples are for suckers.

For dinner last night I had the best kobe beef I think I have ever tasted in my life. I think it actually helped me sleep really well and feel very happy today. Magical.

Where'd you get it? (Unless you're talking about Mr. Bryant, because then I don't really need the details.)

Wow. you're like the anti-fringey!

Oh. I guess you're not the anti-fringey.

Tits and ass(es). Are no. Do you say "He has 100 RBIs?"

have Skiles suit up. The 2nd best point guard from MSU, and the leading scorer in the worst "my team was cheated" moment of my life. Fucking Kansas timekeeper.

Just wait. Pretty soon, I predict you will see starter by committee, sort of like in LL. Pitcher 1 goes through the batting order once, pitcher 2 goes through the second time, then you have 3 or 4 guys each going an inning. Hitters never have a chance to adjust and the pitchers never get tired.

As far as getting runs for a particular pitcher, if that guy is the third or fourth in the rotation on a team that is very deep in pitching, he is usually going against someone who is also third or fourth in the rotation on the other team. So let's say for example the Mets, go Pedro, Glavine, Duque, Traschel. Traschel, now the 4th starter when matched up against the Brewers -- a team far less deep than the Mets -- goes against some guy who probably is a AA pitcher. The Mets pound the shit out of him and Traschel gets 55 runs a game run support.

I can't wait for the day of the 14-man pitching staff. Really, with the right guys, you could get by with 11 position players. A backup catcher and a good utility guy -- that's all you'd need. Probably tougher to do in the NL though -- unless you've got some good hitting pitchers.
