Postseason All-name team
Joe asked, so here it is, the 2007 postseason baseball all-name team, composed solely of players from the 8 teams which made the postseason. As always, the main requirement is how good i think the guy's name sounds during the call of the game, and has nothing at all to do with playing ability.
Bullpen
------------
Joba Chamberlain - NY Yankees
Daisuke Matsuzaka - Boston Red Sox
Jonathan Papelbon - Boston Red Sox
Antonio Alfonseca - Philadelphia Phillies
Carlos Marmol - Chicago Cubs
Josh Fogg - Colorado Rockies
Ubaldo Jimenez - Colorado Rockies
Dustin Nippert - Arizona Diamondbacks
Bench
------------
Robinson Cano - NY Yankees
Ryan Garko - Cleveland Indians
Trot Nixon - Cleveland Indians
Jacoby Ellsbury - Boston Red Sox
Chone Figgins - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Kendry Morales - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Vladimir Guerrero - Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim
Abraham Nunez - Philadelphia Phillies
Chase Utley - Philadelphia Phillies
Geovany Soto - Chicago Cubs
Robby Hammock - Arizona Diamondbacks
Starting Lineup (includes a Designated Hitter)
--------------------------
Coco Crisp - CF - Boston Red Sox
Asdrubal Cabrera - 2B - Cleveland Indians
Troy Tulowitzki - SS - Colorado Rockies
Jacque Jones - LF - Chicago Cubs
Shane Victorino - RF - Philadelphia Phillies
Jhonny Peralta - 3B - Cleveland Indians
Yorvit Torrealba - C - Colorado Rockies
Ryan Theriot - DH - Chicago Cubs
Bronson Sardinha - 1B - NY Yankees
Fausto Carmona - P Cleveland Indians
and since i did so well in predicting how yesterday's games would go, tonight, i'm afraid that Yankee fans are going to go home disappointed as Cleveland takes the early lead and hangs on to win. Joe Torre, if he's as smart as i think he is, will tell Boss Steinbrenner where to stick it, and announce his retirement.
UPDATE: Damn, i'm good. And no, i'm not picking any stocks for you.

Go Coco Crisp!

You da man!
I hope Torre quits -- it's so much harder to hate the Yankees when they've got such a likable and capable manager.

Boss Steinbrenner continues to make hating the Yankees easy.
Now that i think about it, Joe's got another year at $7 mil on his contract, so he shouldn't resign and walk away from the Boss's money. Let George fire him.
Maybe Jose Maurinho is looking for a job.

Strike that. Torre's contract expires after the World Series is over. He shouldn't give the Boss the satisfaction of firing him.

I'm irrationally excited about Coco Crisp.
By Marsosudiro, at 10:46 PM
$7 million a year. That's $19,000 a day.
Given that I don't have Joe Torre's millions all saved up, I could sit around and office and be reviled for many many days at that rate.

Another good call (on Torre). :)
