[...Just wait till next year...]


The divisional races have been settled, and we are now left with the
following pairings for the LCS:

	NL: St. Louis vs Los Angeles
	AL: Toronto vs Kansas City

Is this some kind of joke? Is this supposed to entertain we baseball fans??
Ain't it funny how the more things change, the more they remain the same???

KC was in it last year, but they're in it just about every year and 
EVERY YEAR THEY LOSE. 

The entry from the NL East is from a different town, but just like 
last year's entry they are a CAREER-YEAR TEAM. 

The NL Worst entry is from a different town, but like last 
year's entry they are OVERRATED WITH NO BUSINESS BEING IN POST SEASON PLAY.

And the AL East has once again, albeit from a different city, sent
us the EVENTUAL WORLD SERIES WINNER.

So, who will lose to the Blue Jays in the World Series, you ask?
Well, last year the Career-Year Cubs woke up in the third game of the
LCS and realized -- Hey! We're in the LCS! Suddenly, reality overwhelmed
them, and their career-year performance evaporated.
The Career-Year Cardinals will similarly awake sometime during their LCS 
play against the Dodgers. But unlike the Career-Year Cubs of 84, the 
opposition this time is the Dodgers, and against this Dodger team it's easy 
to play way over your head. Heck, John Tudor would have a season just like
this season [winning 20 out of his last 21 decisions -- gimme a break!]
every season if he had to face the Dodgers all the time.
So, the Career-Year Cardinals will defeat the Overrated Dodgers,
only to be destroyed by the Blue Jays, simply in a class by themselves.

P.S. Hey Frank, give up on Foster and Mookie, and give Beane and Dykstra 
a chance. They can't do much worse, and they're cheaper.
