Did anybody think that the team that was swept by the 90-loss Marlins, in the last week of the season, when all they needed was the series and they would have had the division crown, was going to beat the 90-win Diamondbacks in a five-game series?

$300 million gets you: 13th in batting average; 18th in RBIs; 21st in HRs; and 26th in walks.

I'm up for revising the playoff entrance exams. From now on, the mlb should accept the teams with the top four records, regardless of division. This will avoid the post seasaon from becoming the playooofs. The Padres are sick to their stomachs.

The Cubs have officially cured me of baseball. When does the National Fighting League open up?
