The ALCS is not the World Series

[Sandpiper]

No matter what the New York and Boston media tell you.

Just ask the Marlins. ;)

1. When John Kerry is elected president, it will be!

it's very high on his agenda

[Tweed]

2. The AL should be broken up. The National League is much better

Can we please get rid of the DH?

[mountainvue]

9. No.

Watching pitchers hit is about as much fun as watching paint dry.

[Sandpiper]

11. If you're too fat, slow, or broken down

To play an everyday position, go join a beer league.

14. Ooh, so bitter.

Who's your team? That one that Disney owns out there?

[Sandpiper]

15. Nope

The Cardinals.

Born in St. Louis. Came of age when Whitey Herzog was winning all those pennants using speed, small ball, and defense.

The long ball's nice, but I'm not a chick, so I don't dig it.

Hate the DH with a passion.

[mountainvue]

19. I met Whitey

at Coors Field in '95. He seemed nice enough but what really caught my eye was the championship ring he was wearing.

[Sandpiper]

20. I miss Whitey

La Russa's successful and I like him for that reason, but he isn't nearly as colorful a personality as Whitey.

3. The World Series will be Anti-Climatic After This Series

this was amazing baseball.

[Sandpiper]

4. Spoken like a true provincial northeasterner

n/t

[HEyHEY]

5. Spoken like a true bitter New Yorker

:P

[Sandpiper]

Yep I'm a New Yorker

Which would beg the question:

Why do I have a California flag as my avatar?

[HEyHEY]

10. Subversive New Yorker

HEY! Anyone ever actually SEEN this guy in California?

[Sandpiper]

13. I don't think anyone from DU

Has ever actually seen me and knew who I was.

[Kathy in Cambridge]

6. You mean there's another country outside the liberal Northeast?

take that big ass chip off your shoulder. It's not very attractive...

:boring:

[Sandpiper]

8. Not to burst your bubble

But the most important state in the union is on the West Coast.

[gratuitous]

16. Oregon says thanks for visiting and for the kind words

Now go back home.

[Sandpiper]

18. Touche

n/t

[Kathy in Cambridge]

22. So why do you hate the Northeast

it gets way old.

[Sandpiper]

23. I guess it's not the Northeast so much

As it is the Eastern media establishment, and their constant flogging of eastern teams.

Look, I've got no hate for New Yorkers or Bostonians. We'll all be blue states in the end.

Peace.

12. It was amazing baseball, but the WS will be better

[mountainvue]

7. Doesn't matter.

This team will not be denied now. It's theirs and they know it.

[gratuitous]

17. Well, the Sox have scores to settle either way

Beat Roger Clemens' team? Or exact revenge for 1946 and 1967?

[Bake]

21. Boston STILL has to win 4 of the next 7.

All the "they wn't be denied" Bosox fans just might be mightily disappointed. Neither the Cards nor the 'Stros are going to be pushovers. Still good baseball to come, and Boston just MIGHT be exhausted after the ALCS.
