J, that was awesome!  Thanks!  Dutch was going off on Coke Gooden.  Who was that who tossed Strawberry to the ground?  Good stuff J!

holy shtein i just looked at the streak column in the standings and the reds have lost 11 in a row....impressive tank job

[ice grillin you]

If they lose one more and Cincy wins they clinch the 1st pick right?

yes

im not very good at math but i think the magic number is three isnt it?

this is correct...

you aren't very good at math

[ice grillin you]

if the phils lose today and the reds win wont it be 3 with 3 to play?

or is it not a coin flip that determines the pick....in other words if they finish with the same record the phils get the pick?

[ice grillin you]

just looked it up....it goes by the previous seasons record which would give a tie breaker to the fightins.....

math correct
knowledge of the rule incorrect

[MDS]

so its 1 more loss or 1 more braves win? i knew they had the breaker.

whens the last time a philly team had the 1? 1998 for the phillies?

[ice grillin you]

braves is one...but reds are the team to be concerend about...that number is 2...altho neither team is passing them

[MDS]

i totally havent been paying attention to the reds....good god what an impressive tank job

phils winning right now - reds playing @ pitt which needs to hold off chicago for homefield

crap.

[ice grillin you]

i was worried when i thought it was a coin flip....no way the phils blow this owing the tb

to have a chance reds would essentially have to finish the season on a 15 game losing streak....that would be amazing

[MDS]

its going to be down to 1 after today

according to espn the phils are starting: williams, harang and buchanan to close the season

they know what's up. also because of rain these games can just get canceled. that might be enough in itself.

[Rome]

Even when losing is winning Philly teams find a way to blow it.

Four straight now and it looks like the Reds are going to lose again today.

Just unreal.

[ice grillin you]

reds 0-3
phils 1-2

or

reds 1-2
phils 0-3


neither of those scenarios are happening...be easy dook

[Rome]

I agree it's unlikely but if it were to happen would anyone here be surprised?  Of course then the Phillies would get the 2nd (or even 3rd) pick and probably end up with the only bust in the top 5. 

[ice grillin you]

no i would not be the least bit suprised if all of the above happened
