NLDS: Cubs vs. Diamondbacks

[kyleb]

Thank you, thank you. I'll take my winnings on my 50:1 bet on your boys as a fine substitute. Keep your kids winning down there.

[tuq]

All they have to do is win the NLCS, right? Halfway there, baby. Next up, Phillies.

[kyleb]

Phillies? I think you are mistaken. :[

Anyway, I am hedging a significant amount of it, but I am keeping a rooting share on your boys.

GL to you guys if you make it to the WS, although I hope the Rockies own you in the next round.

This series is very hard to watch - neither of these teams has any type of greatness about them. Just two above average teams playing baseball. And AZ might not even be that.

Diamondbacks .259 BA
Yankees .121 BA

Diamondbacks 2.50 ERA
Yankeees 6.75 ERA

Who has greatness now?

Edit: Oh, and

Yankees Payroll - $195.2M
Diamondbacks Payroll - $52.1M

Should I break it down to dollars per run scored?

Comparing Sabathia and Fausto to Zambrano and Lilly? 2 game samplesizeaments?

ROFL.

Edit: Oh, and...

Runs Scored: 712
Runs Allows: 732
Expected Record by 3 different BP projections: 78.9-83.1/77.2-84.8/77.8-84.2.

It wouldn't even be a mistake to describe them as BELOW AVERAGE.

Well this BELOW AVERAGE team is now in the NLCS! Our run differential is now 16-6. What's the Pythag for that, smart guy!

[AzDesertRat]

lol at "pundits" who picked cubs to win this series.
