Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012
Ya, it's a good sign when a team let's a manager go for peanuts to another team. Basically says that come here, play or manage, then when a better team wants you, you are free to go. AA told the other coaching staff they were free as well to talk to other teams. I always thought the Orioles would stay at the bottom of the AL east, but it looks like the Jays will be bottom dwellers. They can't do it all with their own prospects and they seem to refuse to want to spend on free agents anymore. So, I don't know how much better off the Jays are without JF, because that's not saying much, they are not a good team anymore.

the two teams in game 7 have won the last two World Series championships. Neither has an advantage and if the Expos weren't the Expos, the Cardinals never would have been here. They have choked away their lead in the series like the Expos did the last series.

The Expos moved there, they kept Expo records ergo they are the Expos.
I have spoken.

In error obviously. Not so much about the fact the the Expos moved there and such, but in every practical sense, they are not the Expos. Ask any true Expos fan or even gnats fans

Nordiques fans still see the Avalanche as the Nordiques.

Giants defy odds again, win sixth straight elimination game and are going to the World Series for the second time in three years.
Finished the game in the pouring rain (poor Erin Andrews got soaken during the trophy presentations).
If only Billy Atkinson hadn't pussied out in 1979 and thrown the ball in the rain like the Giants' pitchers did.

Re: OT: MLB Thread 2012
Congrats Count, well deserved.
As for me, I'm still proud of a team that battled all year, and lost Pujols to free agency, La Russa to retirement, Berkman and Furcal to injury, and had a clearly hurting Chris Carpenter pitching for them in the playoffs and still went to game 7 of the NLCS.
Oh well, always next year....

Many think Detroit will steamroll the Giants.

There is always a bias to AL teams, and to Eastern Time Zone teams in the media. I wouldn't worry too much... the Giants are good.

Well Detroit should be tough, but hard to say who will win.

Good on the Giants though for refusing to add Melky Cabrera to the post season roster after his drug suspension was over.

I would have expected you to say it didn't matter.
