Battle of Wits
ESPN's been showing off the bronze on BBTN.
The question: Which 1st/2nd place match up this week catches your attention the most? The options are clear: Angels vs. Mariners, Indians vs. Tigers, Red Sox vs. Yankees, D-Backs vs. Padres, Cubs vs. Brewers, Mets vs. Braves.
John Kruk: Cubs vs. Brewers. Good call Kruky, the 2 teams that wouldn't be sniffing a bleacher seat in the AL Playoff race. The 2 teams that, if they don't win the division, ARE NOT going to the playoffs. The 2 teams that are a combined 3, Three, Tres, 3... games over .500. This series intrigues you the most. Whatever, let's see if it gets better...
Eduardo Perez: Padres vs. Diamondbacks. OK, this seems somewhat promising. Damnit, spoke to soon... "This series is going to come down to the closers." Closers people. Closers. Those are the guys who get saves right? So let me get this straight, Wes Littleton was the most important part of the Rangers beating the living shit out of the Orioles 30-3 because he got the save? Which is an entirely different reason why saves are the most overrated statistic in baseball, but that's for another post when I'm really mad at Joe. He makes a good point though, I can definitely see Hoffman being the star of the show when Peavy throws 8 shutout innings with 17 bagillion K's. Definitely more important. This series is definitely coming down to the closers. And more of a reason this series gets your attention more then others. Other good closers on the 6 teams mentioned above? K-Rod, Putz, Jones, Borowski, Rivera, Papelbon, Wagner.
Steve Phillips: Angels vs. Mariners. Okay, I have no complaints with this.
Enough of this, Sunday Night Baseball is already 6 pitches in... Morgan talking, Juan Pierre playing, and David Wells playing. This is bound to be good, especially if its the night Wells has one of those one in three starts.
