If any of you need a proxy for arbitration for MIA owners in other leagues, I am happy to help. Let me know if you need a pinch hitter!
-
Reminder to get in arbitration, if you are doing it last minute please drop me a note so i don't bug you.
-
Letβs go Astros!!
-
If the Astros werenβt cheaters I would root for them, but alas
-
No problem with owners spending their money as they see fit, but a top-4 payroll does not seem to fit the bill as the unheralded underdog. Is there a way that Houston and Philly can both lose the World Series? :)
-
I respect Daveo and his spending sprees, they got the money, not their fault for spending it. Also Ethan and I helped Harper with his negotiations.
-
Speaking of payrolls...what a world we live in where the Mets (at least according to spotrac.com) have the highest payroll. That spot used to always be reserved for the other team in NYC.
-
The hard part with rooting for the Phillies is that they are not exactly an underdog team. They have the fourth highest payroll in the league. They seem like more of a under performing high-salary team that got hot at the right time.
-
Give me Nicky C and the boys......Houston is trash
-
Despite having zero connection to Houston, I can still find lots of reasons to root for the Astros, starting with 1. They're not the Phillies. But also Dusty, the young core of Yordan+Tucker+PeΓ±a, and I like to see greatness rewarded.
(Though as a Mets/Jets fan, I'll echo South Sound re. the Yankees/Pats dynasties)
-
Absolutely. They hate us βcause they ainβt us.
-
I expect that most people like to root against the perennial villains, but would love to have "their" team be the perennial winner!
-
As a New Englander, Mini-C, I can tell you that the answer to both of your queries is an emphatic yes. Personally, Iβm with you. Sports are better with perennial villains and losers/underdogs.
-
I saw something earlier today that the majority of America was rooting for the Phillies. I didnβt click on the article to learn who or when they got the info for the poll, but I imagine most outside of Houston will be rooting for Phillies.
Just for conversation sakeβ¦weβre people tired of the Yankees when they win 3 straight? Or Tom Brady and the Patriots in the Super Bowl nearly every year? I donβt care either way because I think my Stros have put together an amazing run.
-
Will the Astros sweep the playoffs? Is anybody not from Houston rooting for the Astros? Cheating aside, it is getting a little old to have them in the World Series every year.
-
Now that the Mets are out, I definitely can't root for Dodgers/Phils/Padres/Braves or for Yankees/Astros, so I'm jumping squarely on the Mariners bandwagon. Also have a soft spot for the Guardians.
-
As a long-suffering Mariners fan, this has been an incredible year. I was really just thrilled that they ended the playoff drought, but if I were to dream, it would Mariners beating the Dodgers in 7 games, with series wins against the HOU and NYY along the way. An incredible longshot, I know, but I can dream, right?
-
Guardians fan here, so enjoying every minute of postseason baseball. Had no expectations for the team coming into the season, so this is all gravy for me. Most Iβve enjoyed a team in years!
Also, congrats to Lima for the absolute bloodletting you laid on me in the finals. Well done!
-
What you got against the Astros? I am a Houstonian so of course Iβm biasedβ¦so Iβm gonna say Stros vs Braves, astros in 5.
-
As long as its not LAD, HOU or NYY I'll be happy. Give me a Phillies Guardians WS, Phillies in 6.
-
Who are you all rooting for in the playoffs? I know that some of us may still have our favorite teams in the playoffs, but if not who are you bandwagoning?
-
Nice work Lima, and great season guys!
-
Congrats, Lima!!
-
Thanks guys but I can't take full credit. Remember my roster was loaded when I took it over for the last third of the season (thanks to that cheater Snoopy)

Great Job Lima....reminder to all to get legal by the end of the week.
-
Congrats to LIMA, Kikuchi, and Alonso for winning the hardware! And to Sadrigal for winning all of the last day, mid-level prospect auctions. Thanks for a great season!
-
Congrats LIMA on an amazin playoff run!! And big ups to the entire league, it's been great to play a full season with everyone here.
-
Yeah up to a couple days ago me and CRB could enjoy a little bit of a moral victory knowing that we could hang with LIMA in a hypothetical final. I think that ship has sailed now.
-
The title probably needs some work though. :)
-
For those bored with the championship round, the Battle for Third Place has much more drama to offer!
-
Thanks man!!! This is a bloodbath
-
Kikuchi...I'm getting second hand embarrassment since you beat me. STEP IT UP!
-
SURE COULD MAN
-
Kikuchi could use those 2 extra starts he forgot to use.
-
What, no Brian Jordan? π
-
Collect them all!
-
Wow, big run on Jordans on the wire today!
-
Congratulations to LIMA and Kikuchi on advancing to the championship! It was an incredible run by LIMA this week and a nailbiter matchup between Kikuchi and Alonso. Good games!
-
At least you know it now Rob
-
I like the new ideas, but I learned yesterday that my opinion doesn't matter because I'm old and only have a limited amount of time left to watch baseball.
-
What do you guys think about the MLB rule changes? I tend to dislike the shift bans and pitch clocks, but maybe they are a good thing.
-
Happy last day of setting lineups for some of us.
-
Icaro and I appear to have opened a rift in the space time continuum by accepting the same trade offer at the same instant.
-
I have too many 2B and would like to move Segura for equivalent value of OF, SP, or a prospect. He doesn't offer long-term upside, but he is healthy, hitting well, and you can pencil him in for around 5 pts/g. Anybody interested in making a trade?
-
Iβm just saying, was it really necessary to replace Shoopy right away?? I got my dickhole smashed this week
-
The Commish's name change has me in tears. Brava!
-
Maybe Terrin Vavra and Shoopy's alter ego will have a light saber duel is Star Wars XVIII.
-
Terrin Vavra? That's a Jedi name or something.
-
Damn Shoppy, that's an Ottono-no! Welcome to the league, Steve!
-
I knew it!
