i am willing to bet i know much more about baseball than u have played it since 8 and still play in college 2nd base i played and pitcher in highschool and now i mainly just pitch and will fill in at 2nd if needed but mainly just pitch last season went 9-1 with 2 saves 130k's and only 12walks with a 1.79 era

Playing the game of baseball at a SUB major league level does NOT mean you know the game of major league baseball more than an avid fan. You may play but there are alot of fans out there that pay more attention to the game than you probably ever will. As a majority, fans know the game better than the players themselves. I'm not saying you don't know the game, just saying your argument is weak at best.

Well, Slammed... Chisox out. Rays in. Homefield advantage against the Redsox, who, by the way, we've already slammed a few times this season!

No way, I'm not giving it all to the Dodgers like that. The Cubs completely choked, that's not the same team that played all season. The 5 game series is always a 50/50 chance. many times the less qualified team pulls it out and goes on to get their ***** handed to them in 7 games.

How are the Dodgers less qualified?? Seriously. Over the last month of the regular season they've been the best team. Alot of times it's not how hot you get but WHEN you get hot. If the Dodgers got hot in May and fizzled that would be one thing. But the Dodgers got hot and made the right trades when they need to. They got hot when it really mattered.

And did you ever think that the Cubs played differently than they did all season because of the team they played against.?? Lowe, Billingsly, Kuroda and the Dodger bullpen would have something to say about that. Tell them that they were over achieving and should have let the Cubs hit the ball with more consistency. The Dodgers SPANKED the shit out of the Cubs plain and simple. You can use the whole (underdogs have the advantage in a 5 game series) all you want but I personally didn't see the Cubs coming from a 3-0 deficit either.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Good lord the Rays fans have come out of the woodwork.

Fairweather fans are everywhere, they say.

Tampa needs it, though. Especially after the Rays just asked for a new field. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

Go Dodgers.

Congrads to the Rays. I wish the Twins would have made it, then it would have at least been interesting series.

Will be pushing for the Rays and Dodgers now. Honestly, I could care less. I just will root for the under-dogs now.

You must not have seen how they play against the Rays.

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

The rays make it seem easy, to be honest.
