The AL mix would have been Yankees, Red Sox, Angels, and Twins or White Sox. NL would have been Mets, Phillies, Cubs, and Dodgers over D-Backs – once Manny R. joined. <BR/><BR/>But a real “tip of the TIAH Topper” goes to the Rays, be they AL East winners or Wild Card. <BR/><BR/>I’m still mostly correct, but it could possibly be a Non-NY Post season! For now, though… LET’S GO METS! <BR/><BR/>Joe.Joe Torciviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421096229407174474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5408368436169661319.post-39464000411694559962008-09-15T21:57:00.000-04:002008-09-15T21:57:00.000-04:00Joe,Not the best of ways for the Yankees to close ...Joe,<BR/><BR/>Not the best of ways for the Yankees to close the old stadium, to be sure -- but (not to say I told you so) I saw this coming this year. Too many old troopers, a new manager, and the mismanagement of Joba Chamberlain reminded me of how the Yanks almost messed up Dave Righetti's career in 1982 by muddying up his role. I did NOT expect the Rays to supplant them aside the Red Sox at the top of the division. <BR/><BR/>BTW the Mets lost tonight... The Phillies have a legit chance at the division if success doesn't go to their heads on the coming road trip.Chris Barathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06845538037091279990noreply@blogger.com
