For the second straight year, I'm 0 for 4 in LDS rooting interests (I "rooted" for the Braves this year because I wanted them to play the Pirates, who of course lost to the Cardinals).

I feel sorry for the Tigers and Dodgers. They're gonna wish I'd never thought of them.

watched a show about the game on mlbn today. always knew it was comical that bartman got so much blame, but rewatching reiterated that fact. gonzalez botches at least a force out second, maybe an inning ending dp with miggy running. dusty leaves prior in when he clearly was out of gas. they give up a three run double to mike mordecai to blow the game open. bartman was the least of their worries that inning.

Plus they had Kerry Wood in game 7, had a 5-3 lead in the 5th and fucked that up too

what's the baseline for wins? If a win (prior conventional wisdom, no spoiler) is $5M, then Rube is a genius for getting 70 wins for $180M....

My understanding is a replacement-level team would win 40-50 games. With mostly minor leaguer types, so a payroll of at least $12M
