That would be something. Perpetual loser vs. near-perpetual loser ;)

I pick marlins for 2 reasons:
1) I'm a glutton for punichment
2) I'm from florida.
(Notice my 'phin fanism in posts on the board)
Those are the only reasons. Are they better than other teams? I don't know, I'm not really into baseball. But I know they got a cool mascot! >:)

Hmm, haven't watched much baseball lately while at school, but back at the beginning of the season, the Braves were looking really good.

Somebody will win, somebody will lose, and I will not give a shit because I'll be busy watching a real sport like football.

I say the Braves, but then again I'm probably hallunicating.

I say the Braves too.
I also don't think the Yankees will make it. Nick Johnson seems to have become the HUGE HUGE backbone for the Yankees while the other players seems to be struggling...well last I checked anyway. :P

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

I would say the Phillies, but, as usual, they fucking blew the easiest fucking games. C'om! When you're up like EIGHT FUCKING RUNS, HOW CAN YOU FUCKING LOSE?

The Braves will fold up like a cheap card table, just like they do every year in the playoffs.
