Yankees and Mets in first place in their divisions. I still say Subway Series in October unless there is a real disaster for one of the NY teams.

The mets have no competition in the AAA like NL.
The Yankees on the other hand have to beat out the best 4 teams in baseball!

The yankees can have all the offense in the world,but until they get some sort os stability from their starting 5,they wont blow anyone away in the playoffs.
In recent years,the teams that won the WS clearly had pitching that was head over heels better then opponents.

I really do expect the tigers to go to the ALCS,their pitching is off the wall,and their hitting isnt to shabby either

you only know one team ---Ozzies Fallen Sox

They should just award the WS trophy to the American League now and let the 4 teams play for it. 
I don't think so---Mets and Cards are solid
Solid NL teams, yes. But both have losing records to AL teams; Cards are 5-10, Mets 6-9.
Beezer---
That means nothing when it comes to playoff time and short series
Playoffs and world series wins go to teams of destiny like the White Sox last season---so much for the blustering about a dynasty
There are no longer any dynasties in baseball---

TR - If you think the NL has an honest shot at winning the WS, that's your opinion and more power to you. I would beg to differ on the "Teams of Destiny" arguement. Granted, there are those occurances here and there but not necessarily the norm. I felt the Yankees were destined to win against the Fla Fish. But alas, it wasn't so.
We can agree to disagree but explain the White Sox last year
Explain the White Sox...that's easy.
Lot's of bleach!

I guess one could argue the White Sox would fall under my "Granted, there are those occurances here and there" answer above.
BUT, if "teams of destiny" always win the WS, then why didn't the Yankees win it against FL? Granted, I'm biased, but it sure seemed like the stage was set for them.

And that would be a good guess Beez.
Destiny...shmestiny...the best eligible team playing better than their opponents at that point in the season will win it all...always. Any team that makes it to the playoffs can take it all. Simple.

Oh Woodrow.
What...do you prefer Ozziedol bleach Beez? You know...
Ozziedol Liquid w/ Bleach Alternative offers you the powerful Ozziedol detergent plus color-safe (read diversity) bleaching action in the convenience of a liquid. So for those of you, that's you Beez, who prefer the pour of a liquid over the scoop of a powder, here you go.
Either way Beez...you get really White Sox!
Oops...where were we? Something about the Mets and the Yankees I think...and destiny.

The only response I have is that I'm NOT allowed to do laundry so I have no clue what you're talking about. Apparently Woodette is braver than Mrs Beezer allowing the WoodMan in the laundry room!!!
There must be either a hilarious or really, really, sad story as to why you are not allowed into the laundry room Beez...you'll share it with us at some point won't you Beez?
Secretly I think that Mrs. Gotwood4sale is hoping that our duo of hard working Maytags will fool me and incapacitate me for awhile...giving her a brief respite from my antics and getting me out from underfoot.
Truth be told those Maytags have me flummoxed...I keep jamming quarters into every crevice I can find, but those stubborn, yet sturdy, Maytags won't perform.
When I'm on the road with my sons or daughters and staying at the hotel with the rest of the team I often have to launder their uniforms...those Speed Queens never have trouble taking my money...and they perform like nobody's business!
I swear that when one of those Speed Queens hits the last of her spin cycle I keep hearing the word destiny being damply and cleanly uttered. Either that or the Cloroz fumes are getting to me.

TR....have you actually followed the game this year?
You seem to know only 1 league, the AAA National.
Beezer is on the money.
It's between the big 5!
Ozzie's Sox
Leyland's Tiger's
Francona's Sox
Torre's Yankees
Gardenhire's Twins.
Seems there is a common theme here. Along with Scioscia and Cox, these are the best manager's in baseball.

Leave your biased ego at the door
I would dare say I know as much or more about what is going on than you because I won't wear those OZZIE LENSES
I told you before dont ever try to downgrade others and what y they know about the game
You know a lot but you wear thosae OZZIES LENSES which are "one shot deals"

Let's just say that I unknowingly washed a load of red clothes with some whites early in our marriage and didn't use the "Delicate" setting on a separate occasion.

You need to learn to pull out that distressed look more often in the pressence of the team moms on wash day.
Yeah...I know about mixing red and white clothes in the wash...I still have chilling memories from seventh grade PE class when I opened my gym bag to discover a complete pink uniform staring up at me...thanks mom. Mercifully my pink gym shorts covered my pink jock strap.
Our PE teacher at Judson Jr. High, Mr. Flood, always got a kick out of his students with the shocking pink gym duds.
Back then you got razzed alot, but thank goodness no one was immune from their mother's laundry faux paus or devilish sense of humor. Many of us suffered this pink malady.
Nowadays maybe an ensemble like that would actually be popular...not with the Goth crowd certainly, but perhaps with others.
And as for enticing the moms on the team to help out with my kids uniforms...they always look a bit devilish when I trot out my best distressed lunk look. I'm imagining pink uniforms being the result of their offering to help...besides...me and the Speed Queen enjoy each other's company...call it destiny if you like...or it could be the fumes.

and for goodness sake.....get familiar with the eraser icon!

Do you diss me tonight?
Are you sorry we're miffed from the start?
Does your memory stay in a tight pot of clay?
When I dissed you and mauled you ol' tart.
Do the stares at your valor seem especially bare?
Do you gaze at your monitor and imagine me there?
Is your head filled with pain, should I come back at you again?
Tell me sir, are you lonesome tonight?

There you go !!!---to be honest, with or without a WS title they are loaded for bear in the coming seasons--great GM, great manager and great young talent both n the ML roster and in the minors

Can you give any argument to suggest they're as good or better than the AL?
The world series will be the proof
It sure will TR.
If the world series is proof, then I rest my case.
The NL will be lucky to get a game or 2 this year.
Do I need to mention White Sox 4 Astro's 2.

The NL has won 5 of the past 15 WS, which is comparable to their interleague record this year. They don't look weak, they ARE weak. Granted the tide can change at any time, I just don't see it happening any time soon. But that's just my opinion.
And you are entitled to it---ask Willie Randolph what he thinks
