Right, because the other divisions havent had bad years. Besides 31 of LA's 48 wins are from all those better divisions.

You must skip all of Winnow's other sport threads...Truant wrote:way to deflect.
I didn't call them a sucky team, and I didn't call into question their history.
I was just presenting the other side of the statements you made in the previous post (both our posts were factual) about their current standings in the current season.
defensive much?
If you want to address unbalanced wild cards in sports, start off by removing the crappy East wild card teams in the NBA.Kilmoll the Sexy wrote: Is anyone but me tired of this unbalanced schedule crap? When you have a league-wide race for a Wild Card and some teams get a huge assed advantage of playing seriously inferior teams 15 times a year, it makes it rough for teams in good divisions to take that Wild Card.
Why did you have to curse the Suns =(Winnow wrote:The Suns won three championships in a row. (2004-2007) This will be revealed after the cheating scandals get sorted out.

Yeah, well Mikah Owings sucks. Haren, Webb and Johnson will be back up shortly!Truant wrote:And the Diamondbacks just lost to the Padres.

SAN DIEGO - Conor Jackson's red-hot bat was a topic that Diamondbacks manager Bob Melvin didn't even want to talk about, much less try to explain Monday, but Jackson didn't shoot down one theory as to why he has looked so comfortable at the plate the past few weeks.
Not long after Jackson became the club's everyday left fielder, his offensive game jumped into high gear. It could be more than just a coincidence.
"I think that's more of a natural position for me than first base," said Jackson, who on Monday was named the National League's Player of the Week for July 21-27, a span in which he hit .542 (13 for 24) with a 1.083 slugging percentage.

Yes, there are definately some fantastic arms there. IF AZ can land Texiera, they may rise above the rest of the mediocre teams. I just don't see them getting past the first round.
That's a HUGE pick up for them.Trek wrote:Canelek wrote:

Tex went to the Halos.... thats quite a pick up
Winnow wrote:D'Backs have the pitching. At least 3 quality starters that can keep Arizona in any game.
I'd rather have the pitching and work on hitting than the other way around.
Only if it was one of the big three. I can believe that Doug Davis may have missed his spot on a pitch.Kilmoll the Sexy wrote:In your world does that count as a no hitter since the last 2 innings were obviously rigged by Bud Selig?
Canelek wrote:Just a rental, but Ramirez is a HUGE pickup for LA. Now, will Torre be able to handle him? I suppose it doesn't matter too much--he is an enormous distraction, but dude can swing.
nope. do they have more wins over the last three years? More wins this year? Only 12 wins for Lincecum (WHIP 1.23). (8 for Peavy) If you're a good pitcher, all you need is one run from your team. If Arizona had some bats, Webb and Haren would be even better as well so a shitty team is no excuse.Pherr the Dorf wrote:Umm no... Lincecum is better than either of them. Peavy is too probably but I am not a Pads fan. I just pray he is durable because he is a once in a generation pitcher to watch pitch.
Actually shitty offences would be the point... SF's being worse than Az's. Last 3 years mean jack squat as far as this year goes and anyone who watches knows that Lincecum is the more dominating and electric arm, that is why they pull him early... not like they are going to win anything this year anyways.Winnow wrote:nope. do they have more wins over the last three years?

With all the chatter about how shitty AZ's offense is, Webb has 16 wins. I suppose for this argument, it will be twisted around somehow.
