Did Blyleven blow the final with a poor tactical decision??

Even though GDavis did a good job shutting down the DET bats with the NY pitching...I am suprised he picked the Mets over SF...I think SF is a way better hitting team and has solid pitching, better than the Mets. Is this just me or does anyone else think this?

I agree that SF is a better team than NY.  I do feel that NY has superior pitching (all around), but the hitting of NY is by far the weaker of the two.

Opposite matchups always favor the pitcher.  Clipping the outside corner of the plate is key.

I hate Boston with a passion so I set out to find a way to beat them.  My best theory states that a good player is guaranteed to hold Boston to <3 runs with St. Louis or New York.  Testing isn't finished yet, but at this point the theory is being proved as Ojeda and Orosco do some major damage against those righty batters.

The only thing messed up with this theory is that it doesn't say anything about winning the game.  In order to win the game, you have to muster enough runs to counter Boston's 2-4 runs/game average (I can hold them to <3 about 90% of the time).

This "theory" may be true, but if you are NY or STL, chances are you won't win the game anyways because you won't be able to score. I've played smokedubad and yes, he did hold Bos (me) to only 2 runs. The problem is, I beat him 2-0 because he was STL.

What good is this theory, if you can't even win the game?

I must admit that losing is the sole drawback (and a major one) of this theory.  I played an outstanding game, but just couldn't produce the runs that Boston did.  I think New York is more of a threat with Carter, Strawberry, and Hernandez.  These three give me a much better shot at getting on the scoreboard than the weaklings on St. Louis.  Therefore, the previously stated theory won't be modified because it holds true, but a better theory which actually includes winning the game should be created.

SF gets no respect.  There's another RBI site out there (look in Gantry's links) that has a rule that no one can play with SF or Hou because they are "by far the worst two teams".  SF is very powerful- they have 6 or 7 legit longball threats, and Don Robinson is an underrrated curveball specialist.

I was definately considering going with SF.  Min was also a consideration.  I decided on NY because they historically perform very well in NYC tournaments.  I also think my "Mookie Stance" technique was able to throw Bly off his game.  I don't think he's encountered that before.  If Mookie or Dykstra get on, it makes it very hard to get through the middle 3 of the Mets order.

What is the Mookie Stance?

I stand all the way in the back of the batter's box with Mookie Wilson.  It maximizes his Mookieness and makes him a very tough out.

[JoeDirt]

Is that the Conster Mookie stance?
