    Really enjoyed the first two hours. As a Braves fan, loved the segment about Maddux, Glavine, and Smoltz.

    I had forgotten just how important Cal Ripken's streak was to baseball being the season directly after the strike. Interesting look at the "Latin explosion" as well.

    I thought the segement about Latin players was great. The move Sugar seems like it is dead on.

    I'm still pissed about that movie though. Why'd he quit?

    Yeah, when the Dominicans show up and they're in SW Cornfield, Montana - where's all the tall buildings?

    Just like the documentary said, a lot of them can't stick it out.

    How about the end to the Reds game? That is pretty fucking awesome.

    I didn't think he'd make it, but I thought he'd get cut. Then he quit. I guess that's how it goes.

    Clearly Sugar was a very good representation of reality.

    I was also disappointed when he quit.

    As JP said though, that's what makes it such a great movie. I had no idea the leagues in NY were littered with former prospects.

    Like pigs being led to the slaughterhouse. That rotation is gonna get bombed in the playoffs.

    I don't really give a shit what happens to the Reds in the playoffs but that had to be a blast last night for Reds fans.

    yeah, you're right. and if they get atlanta in the playoffs that could be like getting a bye. As a phils fan, I'm really hoping SD sweeps this weekend so the phils can play them in round 1.

    SD has quite a bit of work to do still, right?

    yeah. they have 3 with SF this weekend, so they can make up ground. They need to win 2 of 3 to even have a shot. They can catch atlanta if the phillies beat the braves this weekend.

    not looking good for the pads. If I could choose, that's who I'd want the phils to draw in round 1. Looks like cincy or SF though

    How much fun would Philly and Atlanta be in the NLCS? I hate the NL, but that would be must-see TV.

    It's gonna be Philly and Minnesota in the Fall Classic, with the Phils taking it in 6. Just my 2cents.

    Gotcha, yeah, i thought they were in trouble. If I were you, I would want cincy. Anything can happen in a 5 game series, especially with Cain and Lincecum.

    Why is everyone on Minnesotas balls?

    definitely rather play cincy than SF. the phils don't hit sanchez either. I'd hope for zito in game 3 over sanchez.

    and we agree on minnesota. I don't get it either

    Clicking at the right time. Tampa and New York are both very good teams, but New York has obvious weaknesses and I think Tampa doesn't have it in them this time around.

    As for the Phils, their pitching will take them deep in this thing. Look at last year's Yankee team, or the rotation we sported in 07 of Beckett, Lester and Schills. That's what wins titles.

    so who is minnesota's big 3 that will get them to the WS?

    What was Colorado's big 3 from 2007 that got them to the show? Less than what Minnesota has. You cannot deny the momentum is in the Twins favor, but once they run into dominant pitching, which won't happen till they meet Philly in the WS, they'll fall just like the Rocks did against our boys in 07. That's just my take on the whole thing. Also, I'm saying it right now, Carl Pavano will win a game against the Yankees.
