'Oh I can't see him, I can't see God', YA'LL CAN'T SEE FUCKIN' AIR NEITHER!
Prove to me the wind. Show me the wind man. I want proof of that shit. Cuz I don't see it.
idk, but i hope the dodgers win 90+ and make it to the WS and kick some AL ass!!
the Muts are definatly making a STRONG push for the Wild Card.i dont think they cant see the Phils, but they can take the rest of that division & anyone else in the Wild Card.the Mets got one of the best lineups in the NL & any team with Johan starting a game & K-Rod closing it out, always has a good chance.keep ya head up Fits!

If the Dodgers played in the East or the Central they wouldn't make the playoffs. But they play in the West and I think they are that one team that doesn't deserve to make playoffs but will get hot and make it to the WS.

I think two teams will have a better record than the Dodgers but they won't make it to the playoffs b/c of the division they play in. And if thats the case I don't think they deserve to make the playoffs and that goes for any other team that may happen to. Though I wouldn't change the current playoff structure you should make the playoffs even if some teams miss the playoffs but have a better record.

And don't give me stories about the couple teams that made it, like the Devil-Rays, because it still doesn't make it right. The A's find a way to be competitive. The Twins year in and year out as well. The Rays through great scouting and development will have a great team for the next few years. The Rangers have the best farm system in baseball and will dangerous next season and for many seasons to come. Small market teams find a way. Sure it's not an even playing field for smaller market teams, but they also have the luxury of having time to build a good team while big market teams it's win now every season. Plus it doesn't help that you root for one of the worst run sports organizations in all of America. A lot of these smaller markers have great farm systems while the Royals have two impact bats down in the minors and it's barren after that. Even if Baseball imposed a salary cap it still doesn't mean teams like the Royals and Pirates will spend any money. Or make smart moves, c'mon Jose Guillen, why even spend the money to sign that bum. He was one of the worst everyday players in Baseball last season. Imposing a salary cap won't make the Royals and Pirates draft well or actually have decent player development. Yes the system isn't fair but at the same time the Royals do nothing at all to help themselves out.

He was one of the worst everyday players in Baseball last season. Imposing a salary cap won't make the Royals and Pirates draft well or actually have decent player development. Yes the system isn't fair but at the same time the Royals do nothing at all to help themselves out.Jose Guillen was a 20-100 guy, 20 homers and 100 RBI's those are the power numbers that the Royals hoped for when they signed him and he delivered. Leading the team in those categories. So how can a 20-100 guy be the worst everyday player in the league and a bum?And I don't buy your argument about small market vs. big market. Living in New York you can't understand. The Royals were competitive in the 80's and 90's and they used to beat up on the Yanks when George Brett was in his prime.When the strike came in 96 things kind of changed, and now the Royals have 1/3 the payroll of larger market teams. How can you compete against teams spending 3x as much money?I do agree the Royals have made many mistakes. A lot of their prospects have never developed...but really many have, they were then stolen by the larger markets after we developed them, look at this list of outfielders that came up in our system and were lost to larger markets....1. johnny Damon2. Jermaine Dye3. Micheal Tucker4. Carlos beltran...Imagine if we would of had the money to sign them to long-term contracts when they were younger, wed be competing for a championship with a lineup like this.......1. Johnny Damon LF2. Carlos beltran CF3. Mike Avilles ss4. Jermaine Dye RF5. Jose Giullen DH6. Mike Jacobs 1B7. Alex Gordon 3B8. Mark Teahen 2B9. John buck C
