... Unless, we get "The Idiots: Part 2" vs a New York team.

Impossible. The 2004 Red Sox were full of likable characters. The Royals are a great baseball team, but the individual players' rank on the likability scale range from indifferent to completely fucking annoying.

I disagree with this. They're very blue collar. There's no flash or flair.

Exactly. The whole "debate" started when I called chappee out for saying that the Cardinals were fucked because they were starting Lackey in Game 1. Of course, once pinned down on that, he tried to shift the debate to a multitude of different topics and he's apparently trying to carry it on almost three weeks later. What are you gonna do?

Incorrect. I said Lackey was the worst #1 starter among any of the playoff teams. And he was. At least you aren't dumb enough to say you'd take Lackey over David Price, though.

The Royals give new meaning to the term "making contact." Great at bats for the Royals....has to be extremely frustrating for the Mets pitchers.

It helps to seemingly "know" what was coming from DeGrom last night. Whoever is doing the advance scouting for KC deserves a raise.

I believe it was actually game 1 starter, not #1 starter. An important distinction.

Yes. But I was forced to qualify that because guys like Hamels and Keuchel were used to secure playoff spots at the end of the regular season. So, they didn't start game one of the playoffs despite being the #1 on the staff. I certainly wasn't putting Gallardo ahead of Lackey, in other words.

This site is pretty awesome because you can actually go back and reference what people say. Here's where it started:

P.S. John Lackey is really the Cardinals #1 starter?? Talk about smoke and mirrors. I've never been less impressed with a 100 win team.

I'm just saying that if he's the best they got, they have no shot.

I'll give you credit though, you don't fucking quit. You're like a genetic cross between:

Nobody wants to see a New York team win anything. That's like going to Vegas and rooting for the house.


Its taken New York about 100 years of winning for the world to hate us

It took Boston about 2 years for the world to feel the same about them

New York wins again
