2008 MLB Playoffs

I'm sorry , but I would have to go up there and deck the guy with that annoying cowbell all night.

edit : Great, now we have to put up with the stupid cowbells for another series.
 

....but after it was all said and done the Wunderkind Cinderella team pulled it off.

Hold your heads high Bob and all of Red Sox Nation. You wooped the Angels and made for the most compelling series of the offseason.

It was a great ride!:)

And oh yeah......................David Price is a B-E-A-S-T!!!!
 
Wow, Matt Garza gets the ALCS MVP.

He was great and everything, but anyone else surprised it didn't go to Upton?
 
Of these teams which would have been the biggest surprise to see in the WS?

Rays
Royals
Pirates
Reds
Nationals

I don't think any of those other clubs could be a bigger longshot than TB.
 
Bill, no offense, but remember that picture you had of a monster that wouldn't die?

I know you're my buddy, but I think this would be a fitting picture of the series:

I would have put them in that order as teams that I would put below TB at the start of the season.

That's quite alright!

The Rays earned that.

They slayed the big, bad Michael Meyers! :D


BTW, how's this for a Boston Herald headline tomorrow:

Garza Strips the Red Sox of their title!

Well I think you get my point.:(

Pittsburgh Pirates...Rebuilding since 1979.
 
Um, excuse me.... I'm eating humble pie and it's getting all over my keyboard.:D
Congratulations to Tampa Bay, I guess they didn't get the memo about them being too young and inexperienced to win this. This team is going to be good for a long time.

I think the young and inexperienced actually helped them win this series. The fact they didn't fully understand what they were up against and thus freak out mentally, worked to their advantage.
 
BillD1984, You are a class act. Never bad mouthing anybody, just enjoying the sport. All my predictions came true because I waited until the games were over to make them. Okay they were postdictions but I never claimed to be an expert. My only real prediction was about the Phillies and now I am sure I have jinxed them for the series. Good luck both teams.

Thanks buddy, I appreciate that! :)


Your line about "postdictions" made me laugh. :D

Good luck to you and your Phillies. As I've stated ad nauseum on here, I think it's going to be a great series!!! I seriously wouldn't mind either team winning. :up
