Open Playoff Thread, 10/3 & 10/4!

Grant_tiny by Grant on

Just use this one for Saturday, too. Save the Earth, and all that.... Hey, at least I updated the widgets!

A part of me is actually glad that I'm not watching the Giants lose in the playoffs. It'd kill me when they'd do well for 162 games, and then roll over in a handful of games.

A much larger part of me knows that I would sell various body parts and/or family members to get the Giants back to the playoffs.

Go Cubs!

Suddenly, I’m really glad that I’m not a member of Grant’s family.

I was already glad not to be one of Grant’s body parts, so no change there.

Is it morally wrong to root for the Dodgers to make it to the national league championship series or the World Series, so that they can get really close to winning, have it in the bag, and then lose and be absolutely crushed for the next fifteen to twenty-five years? Is it wrong to root for the Dodgers if underneath you are really rooting for their ultimate demise?

by Mrbasepaul on Oct 3, 2008 3:12 PM PDT   0 recs

Ugh, Radnich had a whole bit on rooting for the dodgers today. “If you’re a Giants fan, it’s your division, it’s your league. You should want the dodgers to win….”

Consider the source of course… but geez.

I’d guess he was just doing that to get a reaction, but there was at least one guy that called in and agreed with him. I didn’t listen to more than ~10 minutes of it. And of course on KNBR 3 of those 10 minutes were commercials.

by Merope on Oct 3, 2008 3:50 PM PDT to parent up   0 recs

My question is if he got what he wanted and have a bunch of people call in and react angerly. I would be pretty happy if no one called.

I wonder if the Cubs’ sucking in the playoffs is karmic retribution for that Astros-Cubs series being moved from Houston to Milwaukee.

Of course, karma doesn’t explain the Dodgers winning playoff games.

A friend picked up some stuff at Cooperstown for me. Two Willie Mays plaque postcards, a CC Sabathia card, a Carl Crawford card…and a Ghandi baseball card.
