Beat LA!! - The Orange Mane

Smelvin · 10-01-2004, 03:30 PM

I haven't posted in a while - just wanted to chime in as we approach the most unbelievable baseball weekend in recent memory.

Here's to the Giants SWEEEEEEEEEEPING LA, the Rockies taking out the Astros, and the Cubbies continued collapse (yeah - who's laughing now Dusty!).

Humm Baby - Go Giants!

STANFORD CHOKED!!!

Whats up Smelvin. Glad to see your back. Thought after that humiliating exit Stanford suffered in the tourney that would be the last we saw of you

Heres to LA sweeping the Giants. GO ASTROS!

Smelvin · 10-01-2004, 03:49 PM

Stanford did choke. So much that their coach exited the building.....forever. You know when you lose your head coach to the Golden State Warriors you've hit an all-time low.

But how 'bout them Cardinal football? Came pretty close to shocking the world last week v USC. Just ran out of gas - too undermanned.

But I'm happy to report that all is good and well down on the farm. Stanford athletics, in aggregate, remain the elite of the elite.

Now I just need a big 3 games from Barry, Woody, Schmidtty, Jt, Ray Ray, et al. and it'll be another october of baseball by the bay.

Humm Baby - Go Giants!

Rock Chalk · 10-01-2004, 03:59 PM

Sorry dude, Giants are gonna miss the boat. Cubs too.

The stros are gonna steal the wildcard from both of em!

Smelvin · 10-01-2004, 04:09 PM

the Stros clearly have the odds in their favor. The friggin Rockies bent over for the Dodgers - I don't see why they won't do the same for the 'Stros.

But sometimes when it's too easy, it's difficult. I'm not sure too many people envisioned the Cubbies losing 5 out of 7 to the Mets and Reds last week.

The Stros have played with nothing to lose for the last 2 months. Played loose. Now they're the favorite.

Time to pucker up.

Oh god my Cubs.

The sick joke continues. I understand the football gods. Will somebody please explain the baseball gods to me?

Smelvin · 10-01-2004, 04:38 PM

I can explain why the Cubbies are gonna come up short in two words:

DUSTY BAKER

Rock Chalk · 10-01-2004, 08:32 PM

Haha, still bitter smelvin?

Dusty wasnt that bad. Kinda like the Roy Williams of baseball. (

DenFan)

Astros won tonight, last I saw SF was winning.

Gonna be a good fight.

We're taking you guys out today, LA clinches the division and tomorrow is just a chance to knock you guys out of the WC spot.

Tomko will get lit up, Beltre is going to show why he should be MVP over Barroid.

FADERPROOF · 10-02-2004, 07:01 PM

Have fun watching us in the playoffs smelvin, nice meltdown in the 9th.

GO DODGERS!!!!

Rock Chalk · 10-02-2004, 09:18 PM

Woohoo! Now the Giants need help, the Cubs are officially out of it and the Astros are in the driver's seat!

I could not be more happy. Smelvin, show up more often when one of my teams needs some luck!

Thats great Slap.

Jason in LA · 10-02-2004, 09:42 PM

It's funny that everytime that "Beat LA" chant is used, an LA team is about to win something. Keep on saying it.

Smelvin is just a jealous Giant fan.

I've always liked Steve Finley. He's having the career I thought I would have back when I was about 10 or 12.

Finley really has helped Paul DePodesta save face, what with Penny only pitching a few innings and Choi riding the pine most of the time. Mota has been terrible the last few weeks for the Marlins while Yhencey Brazoban has pitched pretty well for the Dodgers since taking over Mota's setup spot. Paul Lo Duca has had his typical late season swoon, this time with Florida. That trade has been up and down for both teams, but the Dodgers make the postseason and the Fish don't so LA wins by default.

I'll be rooting for Los Angeles (I liked watching Choi this season for Florida and hope he gets a ring on the bench

) in the playoffs. If they don't do it then I hope Larry Walker wins it with the Cards.

SoCalBronco · 10-03-2004, 11:09 AM

god that was terrible, thankfully the dodgers do not have a playoff caliber pitching staff so they will be done in round 1.

We've been told that we don't have a pitching staff to be one of the top 2 teams in the NL West all season, we just may surprise people.

TexanBob · 10-03-2004, 07:45 PM

Hey, we'll take getting through the back door to the playoffs. We're the hottest team going in.

Next up...the Braves who we have not one, not two, but three playoff scores to settle ('97,'99,'01). Will send up Clemens and Oswalt (wish we could throw Pettitte and Miller at them too) and try to get to the Series.

BTW, the Jimy Williams streak is still alive. He's been canned three times during the season and the team that fired him reached the post-season all three times (Toronto, Boston and Houston). If you want to make the playoffs, hire then fire Jimy Williams - simple as that.

Rock Chalk · 10-03-2004, 08:05 PM

Absolutely fantastic posting by Slap in this thread.

Smelvin · 10-04-2004, 02:18 PM

Congrats to the Dodgers and Astros.

**** the FRENCH Rockies.

That's all I have to say about that.

It's like this, see.....well.....oh, forget it.

Smelvin · 10-04-2004, 03:58 PM

Dodger fans have good reason to act like kids in a candy store right now. First time appearing in the playoffs in like 15 years.

Enjoy, it's a fun ride. Dodgers had a great year. Gotta hand it to Tracy. With that SP it's a miracle they were able to withstand running out Limatime, Ishii, Nomo, etc. The late game comebacks were amazing. I personally don't think they'll have a long stay in the post-season, but crazier things have happened. All of the NL teams appear to have serious SP holes, so it's anyone's ball game.

Beltre did have a rediculously awesome year - but to say anyone other than Barry deserves MVP is retarded. If you take away ALL of Barry's hits on the season, he still finishes in the top 10 in OB%.

Barry had more HR's than K's. That is a statistical impossibility.

Well, the run of the Giants finishing higher in the standings than the Dodgers ends at 8 consecutive years. Next year a new streak begins.

Enjoy your 3 playoff games, Dodger fan. Well deserved.

F the FRENCH Rockies.
