It's pretty rich to have a Rams fan lecturing me, a Chiefs fan, about the postseason. You're running your head into a brick wall, friend.

But baseball is fundamentally NOT a tournament sport. You can put on a tournament after the 162 games but you'll never convince me that the team that was the best after 162 games got "exposed" in a 3 game postseason series.

Do you just buy into any hype that your television tells you about? Rams fan?

I need to change my username at this point as it's no longer accurate.

And no, I do not buy the hype of everything. I know the postseason is flawed and realistically the regular season and postseason should be shortened.

But in a team sport, acting as if not winning a title isn't failure, is shortsighted.

Fans should be able to say whatever they want, within reason to opposing professional players. They paid the ticket and it is for entertainment purposes. Racial slurs or going after players family is where the line gets drawn.

Nah, 2002 was it. That was the year every A's fan told me how great the A's were. That was the year that in September, I told my summer job that I won't be able to work next week cause I'm going to Oakland to watch the Angels play the A's. My boss said she would fire me if I didn't come back into work, but she didn't realize I was only there to make beer money for my next term at Oregon State University. Beer isn't free.

That lady thought I was trying to make a career out of Subway sandwich making and that she'd put my career to a stop if I went to Oakland. Poor lady.

So there I was, in a car with my buddies, headed to Oakland. We had good seats. There were Raiders fans all around us. Near the end of the game, an Angel victory over the A's that Troy Percival closed out with 100 mph fastballs that Eric Chavez had no chance against, some A's fan that was also a Raiders fan called me out.

"HEY ANGELS FAN, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU WON A WORLD SERIES?", he said.

"THIS ****ING YEAR, BITCH" was my response. It was 2002. The Angels did win the World Series that year. The A's would have to settle for their Michael Lewis book and Bradd Pitt. I was right all along.

As I always am.

Probably the best Baseball movie ever made?

I liked it. I wont tell you it was a bad movie. It did make sabermetrics seem really dumb.

But best ever? Rookie of the Year about the kid that becomes a star pitcher for the Cubs after his broken arm heals weird, that's number one.

Number two is an independent film called Sugar, about a Cuban trying to make the pros.

Number three is Field of Dreams.

So Moneyball is four at best. That's high praise cause we can't forget The Natural.

In fact, Moneyball is 5 bro. You cant rank it higher than the Natural. A strong 5 though for sure.

Those are all great movies as well. I'd add The Natural, For Love of the Game, and The Rookie. Now that I think about it seems there was a lot of great Baseball films.

But obviously your opinion is bias when it comes to rating Moneyball .

Garrett Anderson was a bad man.

He was so money, pepe. Nice to see a fellow baseball connoisseur knows about the best of em. GA. He won the home run derby and all-star MVP in the same weekend.

Sabermoocians claim that clutch hitting isnt a thing. But GA was clutch. I was never more confident in a run when he was at bat with a man on second and two outs. Even Mike Trout would work a walk there. GA would gap a double and look bored doing it.

[BWillie]

Well at least he didnt kill anybody. Josh Hamilton killed a fan.

5 games. Looking at the second angle, he's lucky it's only 5. Seeking out the guy, calling him to the rail...

That is so light, wow. I was expecting months. The people that said the league wont care cause it wasnt a woman are looking pretty right.

I totally agree!

Pete Rose got 30 games for bumping an umpire.
