Who do we want as Wild Card?

[kennyboyerfan]

I'd prefer the Nationals.

Then the Phillies.

Starters on Astros and Marlins concern me a little. Not a lot, a little, especially the Marlins in a 5-game series.

[backstop]

If it's not the Nationals, I'd rather it be Houston. That way we'd get the crappy West winner in the first round instead of Philly/Florida.

Don't write the Mets off, either.

[kennyboyerfan]

And the Cubs. Never, ever forget the Cubs.

[backstop]

Well, that goes without saying.

I would be very happy if the Nationals snuck in there.

[BringBackZezel]

Nats or Phillies.

[kennyboyerfan]

How are the Nationals doing it? I know Hernandez is good, and their closer is good -- but what else do they have? Are they just beating up on NL West teams, because I really don't see anything on that team that impresses me much.

[kaiser]

Houston, so we can play the winner in the West in the first round.

Nats won't win it. If Florida won it, that would suck.

[slow groove]

No preferences. Whoever we get is who we're meant to have.

I'll take our chances from there.

[BringBackZezel]

I say Whogivesafucky?

[davhaf]

Houston, so they can play the Braves in the first round...

[jhuegy]

Whogivesafucky? We'll beat whoever we play.
