Ninety seconds in and I've already gotten angry PMs from Jorge, Dime, & Sarge. I got one from Human Bass too, but it was a different kind of angry.

Looking down the road to Monday and beyond, it looks like...

Game 1: Clemens vs. Martinez
Game 2: Willis vs. Santana
Game 3: Hamels vs. Peavy
Game 4: Mussina vs. Jimenez

Barring any changes, obviously.

Skitch....

What a fantastic pennant race baseball game going on right now. Ned Yost is awful though.

People who don't like calling it the World Series are morons. Even if the teams all reside in North America, it's the highest level baseball league in the entire world, thus it's champion is the best in the world.

Flipping Utley and Drew did me absolutely no good.

Anyone bold enough to offer up a prediction?

I heard that if SkitchP's team wins it all, they're going to be featured in a new version of the "Bite Bite, Sip Sip" commercial.

Alex Avila has a .400 OBP for this thing so far. Ill take that from my last (real) pick of the draft Platoon catcher hitting 8th.

I pretty much predicted I would go down in the first round, so I got nothing.

Yeah, that's pretty good for the 207th guy taken in the draft.

If I still had the option to bump a start, Pedro would be dominating Willis in his 2 starts.

Rotations reset at the beginning of each new round. Dontrelle can start against Pedro if you'd like.

I know, but without being able to bump up clemens into game 4 if needed, not worth the risk.

Good thinking.
