My favorite thing about division series game threads is that it exposes us to pitcher photos we wouldn't otherwise have seen. Chris Carpenter looks like a less attractive Scott Foley.

I'm rooting for Philly because:

2. The Rockies nickname/colors/unis are not cool
3. I hate it when franchises that are newer than the M’s succeed

From the Jack Z chat:

“Let’s address Felix. There are several questions regarding Felix’s future with this organization. First of all it goes without saying what a tremendous year Felix had and what he means to this ballclub. The reality is we still have Felix under control for two more years. To address any particular player on the club, specifically with details, would not be in the best interest of the player or the organization. Any time you’re discussing any type of contracts there are three parties – the player, the organization and the agent. What you hope happens is that all three have the same goal.”

The thing is, another World Series wouldn't make the Sawx fans any more annoying.

A Yankees win would probably cause some Sawx fans to jump ship back over to Jeter’s side… and if someone in the NL wins, we don’t have to deal with the jackass fan base showing up for a series or two a year next year.

Montero is a special bat, but almost certainly not a catcher.

If he was guaranteed to stick at catcher, it’s probably enough. He’s not, so I doubt it.

Indeed.

But I think a deal with the Yankees would involve either a lot of money changing hands or a 3-way deal.
We all know Cashman likes to go overboard, though, so I wouldn’t mind a deal that puts Felix in pinstripes.

It was kind of a pointless chat. Z mostly gave platitudes and non-answers.

In other words, he didn’t say anything we don’t already know—he wants to acquire good players, Gutz exceeded expectations, he liked Griffey’s leadership, etc.

Is that the light at the end of the tunnel, or the headlights of an oncoming train?

The early part of the season there weren't any lefties in the bullpen.

I kind of liked that, no matchups in the late innings. I’m not sure if that explains it, but off the cuff I remember thinking that at the time.
