East Finals Gm #4: MTL 2 NYR 3 OT

You didn't miss much. You know. Pushing & shoving, 2 ejections. Tensions running high, dropping 10 in a row . . .

...and the Yankees won AND the NY Rangers won (and are one win from the Stanley Cup Finals! ).
Man, I'm having a good week.

In fact, other than Baltimore, Rays & the Red Sox, I don't see the remaining teams in the A.L. East staying in contention much past the All-Star break. It's ashame too... - :dismay:

Team records since this post:

Tor 7-1 .875
NYY 5-4 .555
TBR 4-4-.500
Bal 3-5 .375
Bos 0-8 .000

I was wondering what took you so long?

I was waiting for you to bring that one back to bite me right in the ass . . .

That'd be Toronto (9-1 over the last 10). Oh, and guess who's playing in the Stanley Cup Finals (see sig for hint).

That'd be Toronto (9-1 over the last 10).

To most, (but sadly not all), understand the point I was obviously referring to was the team with the current, longest winning streak. For the layman* posting here, I was talking about a common baseball phrase known as 'games-won-in-a-row'.

*Layman is a noun defined as follows: somebody without specialist knowledge: somebody, especially a (Y) man, who is not trained or expert in a specific area such as baseball terms or inferences...

Oh, and guess who's playing in the Stanley Cup Finals (see sig for hint).

I'm shocked they got past Montréal.-
BTW: Here's another bet you would of won. (If you only had, even two 'pebbles', that remotely resembled a pair of 'stones'!) -

[YankeeMan]

28 days 12 hours 5 minutes until Red Sox @ Yankees!

I'm shocked they got past Montréal.

Montréal? I'm shocked they got by Pittsburgh! [I'm surprised Montreal got to the East Finals... but you know all about that. ]

And, the "hottest team" is a very subjective term used mostly by broadcasters and journalist. Baseball is a game of numbers and I'll take 9-1 (and first place!) over a three game winning streak almost every time.:twocents: But I know you guys are just looking for some hope wherever you can find it [Hint: football season begins in September]. :clown:

Hey layman!

Hey buddy-boy.

I know you're from where, Jersey is it? :stare: But try to get your facts straight. It's a FOUR game winning streak! Jeez. - roof: -

I'll take 9-1 (and first place!)

Of course I agree. But hey, we just came off a 10 game skid! - :stare:

I'm grasping at straws here . . . -

[YankeeMan]

28 days 6 hours 15 minutes until Red Sox @ Yankees!

First off, I'm from The Bronx and you damn well know it. Jersey... Why I oughta... Hey, go to The Bronx dressed in all Red Sox gear and say the following phrase in Spanish: "Tu ciudad huele a orina, pendejo!" and the locals will escort you to my childhood home (or the hospital I was born in most likely). :clown:

Second, where do you get off calling me a "layman." I scouted professionally for three years... Sheesh. [And you know that too! ]

Of course I agree. But hey, we just came off a 10 game skid! - :stare:

Try that vacuous space between your ears. That's mostly full of straw (and hot air).

Getting you all riled up really makes my day!
