I'm sure the network big wigs would have preferred a big market team or two to make LCS
But they can’t complain too much about an LDS season that has 19 out of 20 possible games, and an LCS season with at least 12 out of 14 games. As long as they get at least six games out of the WS, I guess.

Cinderella story?
Something I’ve been thinking about today:
If STL wins the LCS, and somehow managed to beat TEX in a WS, they would have beaten the two top teams in their league by WAR (PHI 1, MIL 2) and the top AL team (TEX). That has to be really rare.
I was going to go w. seeding, but Texas was a deceptive #2 (one win behind the NYY).
Trade your best prospect for a #2 starting pitcher

Better or worse, they saw this as their window
Fielder’s gone, Greinke might be gone in 2 years.
If MIL knew that Bret Lawrie was gonna be BRET LAWRIE this early, and if they knew the NL Central was going to be this bad this year, maybe they don’t deal Marcum (since they didn’t need the wins).
But realistically, They were trying to vault STL & CIN preseason.

Hughes should be in the rotation either way
Whether another pitcher is acquired or not I don’t think they should give up on Hughes as a starter.

So I was watching SNL last night
And in the opening skit they made an A-Rod-overpaid-choker joke, but he had a higher 2010 ALDS OPS than Swisher, Jeter, Martin, and Teixeira soooooooooooo…
He blew it the most opportune/crucial times when the game was literally on the line, soooooooooooo…it got the most attention.
"Unpleasant Internet Dude"
He struck out with the bases loaded
So did Swisher. So did Russell Martin. Jeter blew countless opportunities to drive in runs in both games 2 and 3.
Yea A-Rod sucked but he is not in any way the only one who did not perform or the only one who did not perform in crucial spots. A-Rod gets the most attention because of who he is, not because he was somehow worse in the postseason than those other four guys, because he wasn’t.

This can be interpreted in multiple ways...
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
Interesting...
Baseball officials are increasingly convinced that the Hokkaido Nippon Ham Fighters will post righthander Yu Darvish to the major leagues, and industry folks wonder: How much will teams pay for the right to negotiate with Darvish?
The Red Sox paid $51,111,111 five years ago to talk with Daisuke Matsuzaka, and that hasn’t worked out very well. The expectation is that, given Boston’s disappointment with Matsuzaka, teams won’t bid as high to get to talk with Darvish.
So if thats true, then the posting fee will be less for this one rather than more like everyone has assumed? Well whatever happens it’ll be interesting to see how the bidding works for him.
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
Less money would obviously be better. but I really hope the Yanks do all they can to get Darvish.
America doesn't run on Dunkin; it runs on Varitek.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
As do I
Question for someone who actually knows- what would happen if two teams tied for the highest bid? Do they both get negotiating rights or do they bid again?
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
I don't know, but the only way the Yankees get outbid is if their scouts don't like what they see IMO.
Or if they get a hard-on for C.J. Wilson.
America doesn't run on Dunkin; it runs on Varitek.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
The scouts have already said they love what they see in him
The question is, do the people making the decision think that he’s worth it?
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
If you had to bet, who is the Yankees number 2 starter next year?
America doesn't run on Dunkin; it runs on Varitek.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
C.C.
Nova
A.J.
Hughes
Noesi?
After saying pitching was a priority, I doubt they come out of the offseason without a new number 2.
America doesn't run on Dunkin; it runs on Varitek.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
That would cost a ton
And he gets hurt too much. Last year I would have supported it but after seeing his season it’s not worth the risk.
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
If not Johnson, then who?
I can’t see the Yanks going into next season without adding a solid #2 starter. Even if AJ pitches like AJ of the last 2 weeks of the season, he’s no more than a #3. I like Nova alot, but we have to see if he has a dip next year. Unless CJ Wilson dominates in the World Series, I don’t see the Yanks going after him.
No AJ is mid-rotation at this point at best
I agree that they’d be better off getting a #2 starter and really Yu Darvish is the best bet with that. If they don’t get him, then I’d go for CJ Wilson. If they don’t get either, then go from within and hope for the best, because I don’t want them trading Montero.
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
Perhaps. I think Garcia may be back, but if not, I could live with this. I do think Hughes will ultimately end up in the pen as long relief/spot starter.
"Unpleasant Internet Dude"
Why would Hughes be in the pen?
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
I just think this will happen
He has more velocity, which he can’t sustain as a starter. Also this will negate the need for a bunch of unreliable mops.
"Unpleasant Internet Dude"
Is it really worth it to have Hughes in the pen as a long man or as the 6th inning guy?
America doesn't run on Dunkin; it runs on Varitek.
MarShon Brooks has the dreaded.
Getting Joba back will eliminate some of that mop brigade
When Joba comes back, they have Mo-Robertson-Soriano-Chamberlain-Logan with guaranteed spots in the pen. Logan is the weakest of that group, but not in the mop territory or Proctor or Mitre by any stretch. And hopefully Cory Wade comes back as well and maybe a FA signing here or there.
Either way, the bullpen is already one of the best in the league. They need starters, not relievers. Hughes is a starter- he’s already had a successful season as a starter. Give him a chance to do that again.
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
I'm more worried about Mitre being back than Proctor

Okay.
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
I don't know.
I just really hope he doesn’t end up on the Rangers or Blue Jays.
Then I would have to root against him.
His stuff and his numbers are just soooo nasty.

I wouldn't count out Seattle, either
With Nintendo’s pockets and the Japanese market opened up with Ichiro, I can see them going after Darvish.
Felix
Pineda
Darvish
would be a nasty rotation.

And yet they'd still suck
Doesn’t matter how much pitching you have. Can’t win if you can’t score.
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
They had a few hitters
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
Pressed post too soon
Posey really developed and they had some nice hitters who stepped up at the right time. Other than Smoak is there really anyone on the Mariners who even comes close to counting as a threat? I suppose Ichiro could have a bounceback year but he still needs people driving him in.
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
True
But young dominant pitching can quickly develop a solid team. If a couple of bats get hot, they can win a few games.
They could
It’s possible, but I always remember when they had Felix and Lee at the top of their rotation and people were picking them to win the West, and they ended up in last place because they couldn’t hit.
Bats are important. The pitchers aren’t going to throw shutouts every time. They’ll have bad games and there will be games every week with lesser pitchers on the mound where they’ll need to score. That rotation is nice to build around, but they need a bat or two. And Smoak needs to get better.
Depending on how much money Seattle has, if I were them I’d seriously consider making a run at Fielder.
Let us all congratulate the Boston Red Sox for becoming the first World Champions in the history of sports to NOT make the postseason! Thats not easy to do!
Considering the Yankees won't know what other teams are bidding, I wouldn't be so sure.

It is a very big possibility that they are both 5-4 heading into their second matchup and then the Giants will NEED a win because their onslaught begins after that. I still can’t believe how uneven the schedule is. The Giuants get New Orleans AND Green Bay.

I thought you were going to light yourself on fire?
Please hurry up and do that already. I have some matches if you need some.

This whole site can go fuck itself, i've been coming here less and less this is my last time
I just wanted you to know you provided nothing but moronic insight, slanting of the facts, and proved that you all know very little about baseball. Go fuck yourselves. Go Yankees in 2012!

Well to be fair, you point to ancient history as if it’s any indication of what happened this series, which really doesn’t mean much. Yes the starters sucked, but so did the others teams starters.
Nah man, a couple teams scored a lot of runs and this guy is ON IT.

what point are you trying to make?
derek holland had some poor outings and cj wilson had one bad inning after a double play ball turned into an rbi double. their offense has been solid and their bullpen lights out.

No K-Rod, Papelbon, Valverde in WS? Great.

World Series should be a 6-7 game slugfest
Cards have legitimate guys who can DH in the AL games: Holliday and Berkman.
i absolutely hate Texas (the state) , the bandwagon fans and the management
But i also hate Tony LaRussa.
This series blows.

if you hate texas you're missing out on some cool cities
like dallas and austin. also, the rangers have had solid attendance records for the last 17 years without winning anything.

Not saying the cities aren’t bad. But I’m not fan of the state as a whole for certain reasons. (rather not start something political or etc here) Also i dislike it’s fans because they boo players they TRADED away, and if u watched game one, they randomly broke out a “Yankees Suck” chant which is pretty petty in my book.
I live in Missouri
the bandwagon spreads like the plague around here

Rangers-Brewers "never won it" derby would have been fun
Now that I’m faced with the possibility of a TEX WS win, the Cards are suddenly much more attractive.
Also, they would be one of the great comeback stories of all time, given how they got here and who they had to beat.
it's not really remarkable that a team squeaked into the playoffs
after the wild card favorite experienced an epic collapse. however, their advancing to the world series doesn’t really surprise me. the phillies’ offense was terrible and they never seemed like a complete team, notwithstanding their record, and the brewers looked deflated with horrendous defense and the worst pitching by far throughout the playoffs.
