That's fantastic

[Norah]

A-Rod needs to shape the fuck up, and Schilling has one more chance to make a QS or he gets replaced in the rotation by Big Sexy.

I feel like we're not talking enough about these games. Phil scored 29 runs on me! TWENTY NINE

And that's just overshadowing the craziness of your 8-run inning to come back from a 7-1 deficit in game one, capped off by the Walker outfield assist to preserve the win.

I wasn't joking when I said best series ever. That was crazy all around!

[philpritchard]

Pedro vs. Randy. Nice.

I'm reading a history of the Expos right now, and for an organization marked by what-could-have-beens, this is the biggest one to me.

I had to do it, sorry.

Ugh my team sucks.

Pedro vs. Randy. Nice.

Certainly lived up to the hype.

Yeah, that was great.

I guess we can pretty much rule out managers ever using pinch-runners, right? Bottom of the ninth, one-run game, Olerud with a two-out double, Vince Coleman on the bench... nope.

Whew. He was almost going to be my last pick just for that purpose. I think you took him before I could. Thanks Phil!

What's more impressive is it's the wrong Pedro. 1999 was the more dominant option between the franchise tournaments.

He's no Teddy Higuera

It's still crazy to think that this is almost certainly the only reason you guys didn't repeat.
