LOL! What a girl!
When the Yankees are better, they are better. When the Mets are better, you can't compare them!
LOL! Make sure the wind doesn't blow your skirt up today, Balls!

The Yankees are not facing the competition, and nothing you can say will change how weak the NL is. No name calling, no whining, none of it.
You can say the Angels, Red Sox, Devil Rays, hell even the Blue Jays, are better than the Yanks. But you can't say that about the Mets.

Clearly, your argument is done. But it was from the beginning.

Yeah, it was, since you didn't muster up a non-slanted argument against me. Grow a cock, will you?

I have twice your cock, and twice your argument. There is no slanted argument. Everything I said about the Yankees can be substituted with Red Sox, Blue Jays, Angels, Devil Rays, and any other AL team with an above .500 record.

So you think the Blue Jays are better than the Mets?

As well as the Cubs, Mets, and Brewers. Sorry, but those three teams would be fine in the AL. Means nothing anyhow, since the only thing that matters is a World Series title, right Balls?

You can compare the Cubs, Mets and Brewers to each other, but not to the top teams in the AL, since they don't have the same competition.
And the World Series title matters for the glory, but I really hope you're not going into the argument that the best team always wins the World Series. You only have to go back to the .500 2006 Cards to show that's not true.
As for the Blue Jays being better than the Mets, it's possible. I don't think the Mets would do nearly as well in the AL East.
You already lost that argument. Want to rehash it?

Yeah, the best team always wins the World Series. Winning a championship means that you were the best team, that year.
Bring up 2006 all you want. I'll just remind you off 2000, and see if you want to admit that the Mets were better in 2000 than the .500 Yankees.

Again, different leagues, and I have said before that in 2000, the Yanks didn't deserve to make the playoffs.
Still doesn't change that 2006 proves flat out that the best team doesn't always win the World Series. The Cards had a good week, which any team can have at any time.
No .500 team is the best team that year, and 2006 is no exception. It's a dumb argument. Cling to it.

Sure it does, because that's what a championship determines: the best team that year.
Unless a championship suddenly determines something else all of a sudden?
2006 Cards were better than the Tigers because they beat them good when it counted. The 2000 Yanks were better than the Mets because they beat them good when it counted. There is no deserve, there is earn.

That's the goal, but the best team doesn't always win. The 2006 Cards proved that.
The 2006 Cardinals weren't even the 10th best team in baseball. And they only got into the playoffs again, because of geography. You could have stuck a 100 loss team in a playoffs and if they get hot, they could win it.

100 loss teams don't make the playoffs.
Teams that lose to a team with the record that Cards had in 06 are the ones that don't deserve anything.

100 loss teams could make the playoffs if there is a division that weak.
And while you are right about the teams that lose to the 06 Cards, that team shouldn't have been IN the playoffs to begin with--especially when there was a nonplayoff team with a better record.

Wow ... just wow. Balls, it really IS OK to recognize that other clubs besides the Yankees actually earned their championships, playoff appearances, etc.

Hmmm...interesting you read what I didn't say. At no point did I say no other club but the Yanks earned a championship. But I guess that's easier than arguing what I did say.
The 2006 Cardinals' championship is utter malarky. But that's one example.

Balls just left the board to put on ruby red slippers, click his heels together three times and chant, "There's no place like 1998 ... there's no place like 1998."

Nice zinger!!!!
Did you go to the cupboard and get yourself a cookie after that one?
Granted, there's nothing in anything I have said that supports your idiotic claims, but hey, why bother with facts when you can make shit up and argue against it?

I just flipped that on. Great, the Yankees / Angels are finally not playing a late game and now I am stuck with this.

With a possible rainout tonight, the Mets will catch a break and have to make up tonight's game with the Cubs Monday. With the playoffs on the horizon, the Cubs will not only bench most of their starters, they probably won't even make the trip to at least pinch-hit.

I was shocked to see just how close Citifield is to Shea when I drove by on Tuesday.
I know Yankee Stadium (new) is literally across the street from Yankee Stadium (old). But there's one point between Shea and Citifield, visible off the Grand Central, where a reasonably sized man with a good sized wingspan could stretch his arms and touch both stadiums.
I'm pretty anxious to see just how anti-climactic Shea's closing ceremony (presumably in the rain) will be.

I hope they go into the ninth with a two-run lead in an elimination game, then choke it away. Then I hope they have the winning runs on base in the bottom of the ninth and pull an A-Rod. THAT'S the way to close Ghea Stadium.

15 Games 8-0 2.17 ERA

I think this would be the 17th game in a row he will depart without a loss.
Hey, Balls, you're a dick!
