DS You mean the fake baseball league? The league where pitchers don't hit and where managers don't have to manage because all they have to do is insert 9 HITTERS in the lineup and never have to worry about deciding if they should keep a pitcher in, who is pitching a good game, or pinch hit for him with runners in scoring position? You talking about the league with that kind of baseball?
We'll never know now will we, because the Mets play in the league that requires managerial skills and run production using small ball at times. You know, the kind of small ball that the team in the American league who ( now let me quote someone named DS who said to me in work last week) "Won't lose a game throughout the playoffs and world series." The kind of run producing strategy that the team manager from the American league, the one who manages "Murderer's Row with Cano" didn't use but instead continually relied on the long ball.
Hey Smitty, you want to know another reason why the Yankees could not win? Who batted in every game after Arod was up?
THE DETROIT TIGERS, that's who!
:p
Seriously though Smitty, do you remember my prediction last week when we spoke about the Yankees? About how if they lost the series how Torre would either be fired or forced to resign? And how I said that if that happened he would be replaced with Sweet Lou Pinella because Pinella was the only manager that Arod produced his best years of baseball playing for? Did I call this one or what?
American League Baseball. DH rule where a player who plays in the field does not ahve to come up to bat. Similar to little league rules. :p
Come root for a team in a league, you know the same league that the New York Mets, who are advancing to the next round, play in and see how real baseball is played and managed where all nine players who play the field get up at bat too.
Daaaaa Yankees Looooooose!!!!
