This is awesome.
Lil’ Wayne is blogging for ESPN and is a Rays fan.
Example:
I close my eyes and I see the Tampa Bay Rays. I’m a big emotion guy. I’m a heart guy, and I think they all play that way. They have nothing to compare this to. Whether they make it to the World Series or not, we’re watching the first winning baseball team Tampa Bay has ever fielded. That right there is always amazing, no matter who the team is. I am actually trying to go down there to catch two games at the end of the week if I can. Maybe sing “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” or throw out the first pitch. You never know. You know they need somebody to throw the first pitch. That would be my first major league game. My dream is still to catch one at Fenway, of course.

One of the best Cubs team ever is getting completely dominated by the third worst playoff team in MLB history.

Except that the Dodgers are closer to being a 90 win team on a true talent level.

Bottom line:They have the third worst record in playoff history.
by Goose on Oct 2, 2008 9:31 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
True. This series continues to drive the point that the postseason has very little meaning in determining who was the best team in any given year.
Still, the Cubs are getting destroyed by the team with the third worst record in playoff history.
by Goose on Oct 2, 2008 9:36 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
If the Dodgers had this lineup the whole year they would not have such an paltry record

Probably not.
And if Erik Bedard had pitched 200 innings, the Mariners wouldn’t of been as bad either.

All that matters is what thw team's talent record is in the here and now
I think the Dodgers are much better than the Brewers

I would argue that in the playoffs, pretty much anything that happened in the regular season doesn't matter.
Considering the sample size.

Because even with the Dodgers current talent level, they are not near as good as the Cubs are.

I don't have a opinion either way
I just think that if the Dodgers make a deep playoff run, the job is hers to take

She's been towards the top of most people's lists for like five years now.
She’s visible and a known quantity.
J.K.L.
by acblue on Oct 2, 2008 8:10 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
She's at least worth a look, no?
She’s put in her time and might be deserving of a shot. People in baseball obviously know her better than we do so I don’t want to speculate as to her capabilities, but she interviewed for the Dodgers job and has been rising through the ranks — and several organizations — for years.
by Teej on Oct 2, 2008 8:11 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
She's easily the most well know AGM (aside from DePo, who is sort of a different case) in baseball, and not just because of her gender.
She has a pretty good reputation. She’s not my first choice, but she’s certainly someone they should interview.
