Not a bad idea. It would be fun to see Thome face off against his old team.

Excellent post, Joe. Thanks for sharing and best of luck to your Red Sox. As I write here, the Dodgers wrap up a win over the Cubs in Wrigley Field! That's a bit of surprise!

Thanks for sharing. Best of luck to him in California. I always liked the Angels and really wouldn't mind seeing the Rally Monkey make another WS appearance.

Sure would love to have Pat the Bat in the lineup for our Braves next year.

Well the White Sox are now out too so I guess number three is out of the question. Still some good to come especially if can get a Dodgers/Red Sox.

Hey thanks, man. Sorry your Padres had about as bad of a season as my Braves.

Did you have a pick for winner? I'm assuming Phillies?

Re: Best World Series Ever-Vote and Win

Jaq Baldwin — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 12:00:19 -0000

Thanks Chris. You can vote for any Series you want. The poll is just a primer. Good luck with your pick!

I think he did. typo. It happens. Remember when the Phillies and Dodgers played in the '81 playoffs?

I need to slow down and read some huh? I'm just a stupid Braves fan!!

Jaq Baldwin — Thu, 09 Oct 2008 15:57:46 -0000

Nomar, Manny, Torre, back in Fenway should be fun to watch.

Yes there's been some bad blood between Rays and Sox. I hope we get to see some drama out of this series.

Thanks for your post, Rick

Not a bad series! Of course a Canadian like you would pick that one....

If we're playing by those rules, than I'd say the Braves 1995 World Series was the best....EVER!!!!

Not even if it means winning a prize?

You could still add your WS pick!

Re: Who Are These Guys?

Jaq Baldwin — Sun, 12 Oct 2008 13:50:30 -0000

Not a bad series but that's a good from a different perspective. I was looking for objectively good series from the viewpoint of being well played by both teams. I hope you voted and if you add your WS pick for '08 you could win our prize.

Eddie!
So glad to hear from you again! I'm glad you're "out of your hole". We always love your contributions here.

How do you feel about seeing the Phils in the Series?

Re: Peavy to the Braves Looking Like a Certainty

Hanson was pretty good with Mississippi last year getting a no hitter. I don't think it would be wise to trade away too many pitching prospects (Neftali Perez is one I'd like back) so it could be one or the other, Morton or Hanson that may get included.

Khalil Green could be getting up to $6.5 for 2009! Yikes! I suppose with a little cash to spend I'd rather spend money than prospects (lesser of two evils). The Teixeira deal is still a little glaring.

Thanks, RD.

You're right Esco is a much better shortstop and maybe the Pads have had enough of Green (especially after his self inflicted injury).

I guess it's a matter of who would you take... a quality starter like Peavy or a somewhat over priced middle infielder in Green. Esco will definitely go if Peavey comes on.

If it does happen at all one of or both of these guys will be sent to SD.

Ha! Yeah I guess we can still relive the moments even if it was gone.

Mark Tec... Tesh...Mark's at first base.

Ok we've got some better one's in there now. Of course I'd break up with the one chick whether she was a Rays fan or not.

Casey Kotchman. He's gonna be fine over there.

Willy could do 1B but was more of a third baseman/middle infielder.

Re: Our Loss is Your Gain

Jaq Baldwin — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 14:55:15 -0000

Yeah he wasn't a good fit with the Braves but I am glad to see him get past his demons.
