Winner of central should forfeit playoff spot in nl

[nebrady]

Its gonna be a shame that either the padres, phillies or rockies don't make the playoffs. The central is a joke. Neither team the cubs or brewers deserve to be in the playoffs. The rockies are on fire and as luck has it they end up at home against the diamondbacks. What a story it would be if they won the west. Meanwhile the phillies have finally caught up with the mets. Its been forever since they have been in first place. Whats more amazing is that they are doing it with a pitching staff that has been decimated by injuries. Being a philly fan its been a wild season. Then their are the padres who lost 2 starters in one game. Yet pull out a 2 out homer in top of ninth at san fran to win the other night. Won last night and keep on fighting. Then we go to the central. Sorry cub fans I don't want to hear anything about its our time! Your up by 3 and lose 3 straight to the fish. Worse yet brewers have chance to close the gap and lose 2 straight! Do baseball fans a favor cubs give up your spot to one of the losers in the other two races. You don't deserve to be in the playoffs! Besides every one knows when you lose, you'll blame it on the curse! Bartman! Please the happiest person in chicago was your shortstop who booted the next play for an easy double play. Also you still had to play game seven! So make baseball proud and forfeit your playoff spot to a team that deserves it!

I was reading the playoff scenarios if all 4 end up tied..They would have to play additional playoff games Mon Tues and Wed just to figure out who gets in!

I agree neither team deserves to be in the playoffs; I am pulling for the Phils (mets don't deserve the playoffs either) and Rockies (wow what a streak) to make the playoffs.

OK..Time to switch gears..

so..who the hell do we cheer for this weekend..Detroit or..cough, cough...the Bears? A case can be made for either. Who do you think is more dangerous in the long run?

Neither team looks like much of a threat to me this year. It will be interesting to see how Griese is though. If he is terrible, who are they going to blame? The bears have a very subpar running game and possibly one #2 wide receiver in Berrian. I think the lions offense is a definite threat, but they can't stop anybody. We should be able to roll over either, and nothing would make me happier than to see the bears start the season at 1-3 and then go to lambeau to make it 1-4. Go Lions!

They wound up doing pretty well in the WS

Chuck,
I spent a wonderful evening in Shea for game 7 in the NLCS, surrounded by Mets fans who knew I was a Cardinals fan

You must root against the Bears. I dont think that it would be kosher to actually root for either team but Detroit is Detroit.

Reminds me of some of the crazy stuff that someTurks write on YOUTUBE.Their whole answer to that Armenian Genocide is mainly that they only killed a half million(not the "absurd 1.5 million" that is reported.) The other part is that the Armenians wanted to start their own country.So,naturally they had to be offed.Sorry to change the subject..It just sounded a lot like them.I mean changing the rules at a moments notice. Actually they just write the laws in a very general way(and that way they can interpret them "as needed" to handle the situation at hand.)

Only you could manage to fit Armenian Genocide in a thread about the NL Central

Believe me,it could easily happen again.If ya read some of the many threads these Turks start,you will see how they crave killing Greeks,Armenians etc.It's not like they are sorry that Turks killed all those Armenians.They constantly make videos glorifying their military.If you read the comments they have ,you'll see how they like to "conquer." They aren't ever talking about protecting.They always talk about "we conquered." Like this fine comment here:

"When Turks conquered India, Turkish general Alp the Horseman asked a Indian tavern keeper, "how can Turks defeat 100 000 indians with 15 000 Horsemen?"
Indian answered "Can rice Eaters stand against Turks who eat a full sheep in 1 time?"

My team sucks.......What a disgrace. Even if they come back and tie it up, they really don't deserve to win.

Congratulations to the Phillies.

Well,I am very surprised,because they seemed to be able to skid away from the Phillies whenever they got close in the standings,but not this last time.I don't know why you guys were losing.All I know is when the Dodgers played you,your shortstop and 3rd baseman destroyed us.I guess those 2 stopped doing that.Wouldn't have taken much to hold on comfortably..i.e. Padres..a HUGE amount of people thought the Mets were easily going to the World Series.Chucksta follows baseball fairly close,and thought they were easily best(I think.) I thought they and the DBACKS WOULD FIGHT IT OUT.Padres are the most mentally tough team(as far as making the post.)They are determined each year to make that post,and then they have no hitting at all when they get there.That shortstop(k green) is really coming around though.He may not choke in the post.

You see some of the crazy stuff Philly was doing on defense Saturday? Some of that reminded me of some pathetic lil league games....Pretty tight playing,and now they gotta rely on Moyer.I'll guess that they both win,and have to have another game.
