Scew the wild card, I want the division

OK friends. I've given this some serious thought.

I prefer the division title, but I'll happily settle for the Wild Card.

Well, no. But if I'm going to have an elaborate fantasy like that, I decided to dream big.

If he can fit into the uniform, it's all good.

I like you Michigan, you make me happy.

Well, FUCK.

I don't care about the division. We got a division title in '06. It's not the end of the world that we didn't get it this time. In the playoffs, no one cares how you got in.

Screw the Phillies, I want the Cubs.

I want the Cubs and then the Phillies.

I was more concerned about avenging last year's collapse, but there is more cache with a division title than there is just getting in "through the side door." So yeah, while it doesn't matter how you got in, and the Marlins, Red Sox and Angels all won their titles as wild cards, and to say nothing about the 2000 NL Champs, but the simple fact is that the 2006 team was supposedly a "dynasty in the making" and choking away a division, and sneaking in as the wild card the next year, both either failing to win or barely winning 90 does not have the markings of a "dynasty" like ballclub.

One championship at a time. It's rather presumptuous to be talking "dynasty."

How could you not be happy right now? Sure, there are any number of losses that we can regret, but save that for another time. Hopefully tomorrow's action will make all those regrets moot.

Who said I wasn't happy? I'm still bouncing off the walls here (so to speak), 3 hours after getting home from the game, but I can still be disappointed that we didn't get the division.

That was the way Omar was talking when he got here. Okay "Dynasty" is too strong of a word, but a solid team that wins in the area of 95 every year. Kind of like the late 1990s Braves.

I don't know. "Well FUCK" isn't the kind of thing I'd say if I was bouncing off the walls.
|

I'm bouncing right, left and center. And you don't want to know what's coming out of my mouth. I have no censor or filter left whatsoever.

Does anyone know how they'll handle tix for the Monday game? Online? Walk-up only?

All full-season and weekday plan holders already have tickets that were distributed to them at the beginning of the year. That will account for ~15-20,000 of the seats.

My Dad's company subscribed to season tickets this year. At the very end of the book is "Tiebreaker" tickets, so I assume it is treated as a regular season game where tickets will be available just as they usually are.

Screw the division. I want the wild card.

They can still bring Seaver out to pitch the ninth!

I think you mean "scew."
