The "Ram" Bar and Grill was CRAZY last night and we watched the final out, you could not have scripted a more deserving ending, Rodrigez up to back, 2 outs, 1-0 lead...fans two for 0-2, then foul tip into Dan Wilsons (catcher) glove for the 116 win. Go Mariners!

Thks Yankee!

well, 116 was -all- they could do... <S!> to the M's!

I'm thinking D'Backs and M's in a very, VERY close series. I don't even think I want to pick a winner... but... Seattle in the full 7 games. Think it's gonna be loud when Randy pitches in Seattle?

I don't expect much in the post season for my team, but... You can't dismiss 10 straight division titles!!! Feels damned good after the 5 straight dead last seasons ('86-'90). Oh, and for anyone that wants to say something about me being a Braves fan and not a Marlins or Devil Rays fan.

Atlanta is a closer drive than either Tampa or Miami (hell, Houston is a closer drive than Miami!). Besides, I went to my first Braves game 10+ years before the Marlins even existed.

OAK-LAND!!!

Oakland is the only team to give the Mariners a run for their money during regular season (play-offs are different story, different levl)...at Seattle 10 wins and Oakland 9 wins in the 19 times we met, Oakland was the only team to win a series at home to the Road-bound M's. One series at home lost (Toronto, early in the year) and Oakland a couple weeks ago. Oakland scares me, but they have to get past the Spankie's first.

Personally, I still believe that the Yanks have the most talent in the league, but who the best team is the one who plays consistant ball, and utilizes the talent to the best of their abilities.
