Can someone prove to me beyond a reasonable doubt that the Giants and DBacks are better than the Dodgers given that the Dodgers have more postseason experience and know-how to get there?
>>64249030
the dodgers have no notable offense, the past post season alone has showed Kershit is the only pitcher capable of winning a team, grienke is gone, and the dodgers havent made a single notable signing

You can't possibly sit there with a straight face and say the Dodgers have more post-season experience than the Giants. Most of the Giants' current roster have multiple rings.

The Dodgers have made the playoffs 3 years in a row

No one on the DBacks but Greinke has postseason experience. I don't even remember the last time the DBacks made the playoffs
>>64249332
>Dads, Dbags, and Suckies have all won it more recently
>>64249323

Oh boy the White Sox signed another catcher! That will fill the hole at 3b/2b (which ever Lawrie doesnt play)or RF or SS or DH.

No one even remembered about the DBacks making the playoffs because it was insanely flukey.
No one from the 2011 roster is even on the roster today

How close do you think Howard is to Giambi? Because Giambi (if he gets in) probably wont be a first ballot guy.
>>64249563
it must really suck for East coast fans to have to stay up till 10PM to watch their team play away on the West. And they have to stay up past midnight if they want to watch the whole thing
>>64249602
giambi was one of the best first basemen of the early-mid 2000s

k.
>>64249691
you're right, like the umpball where the dodgers were gifted second base after taking out another player
>>64249613
he was the 21st player by WAR of the 00's, 5th in wRC+ tho.
by comparison, during Howard's first 10 years in the big leagues, he is 83rd in WAR and 47th in wRC+
He had a nice 7 year stretch, but that was his whole career.
>>64249715
>muh stats
the only stat that matters for howard is the ring, MVP and 50 HR club
>>64249730
you cant make the HOF on two seasons alone
Bullying aside has a team other than the Mets humiliated itself more in the World Series??
Has a pitcher been more humiliated than Matt Harvey in the World Series?
Before Terry Collins, had a more stupid manager ever taken a breath in the world series?
Remember:
All angry jew replies will be used to strengthen my argument

Cause Peralta and Pollock are better, Yasmany might (fuckin' heavy and the might though) have a good season since he's going to be playing every day, and if that doesn't work out, Socrates Brito is looking promising.
There's also the fact that Stewart wants to focus on the bullpen, and they might decide to do something with second base unless the have Drury and Owings fight it out.
>>64249801
Andy Pettitte Holds a strong case for giving up 15 runs in the 01 WS.

Can the Angels get Alex Gordon?
>>64252039
Offseason ain't over till spring training begins tbqbbq
>>64252019
Lots of teams did, but the point is the Tardinals are petrified to spend money and it's frustrating. The two transactions was trading for Gyorko and signing Broxton.
And then they have the balls to say they won't look at any outfielders now.
>>64252039
It's a meme. Don't reply.
Peoppe forget that Friedman can finesse the fuck out of some stupid GM for pitching at any moment during the season.
Not to mention that we'll get Chapman in the all star break for the October rush.

Sources: The #Orioles are negotiating with, and have made an offer to, LH-hitting Korean outfielder Hyun-Soo Kim, 27.
Can't wait for the Giants to again win an even-year WS and Doyers get salty about it.
Reminder the Doodgers literally spent two hundred sixty nine million United States dollars to get 0 (zero) hits twice in 2015.

No way Ryan Howard ever gets in to the HoF.
>>64252239
Or his version of "jew" as a verb
>>64252239
Do you think pissing in a girl's hair takes finesse too?
Am I in the minority thinking the Giants offseason pickups are EXTREMELY underrated? Those pitchers did shit in the AL but in the NL, they've been good, and now they're in pitcher parks backed by insanely good defenses.
Why are Doyer fans hating on it?
>>64252419
The only thing bad about their signings is the contracts. But overall, their pitching is much better and will certainly make a run for the division title.
>>64252419
Cueto is good nobody can take that 2.3 ERA with 245 strikeouts but he's not gonna post a 2.3 ERA in the West, he's not Kershaw or Greinke.
Smaarajaha is just trash lol.
That rotation is trash lmfao
And their pitching prospects are all trash laughing my fucken ass off
>>64252483
Yeah I think they got Cueto for a really good value (really, midseason last year people were pegging him for 7/200), but Shark might be a bit more risky
But Shark is still a better gamble than resigning Lincecum or Vogelsong

That would have only gotten them past the ALCS though. Gonzalez would have caused them to lose to the Cardinals like all the other teams he was on.
>>64250563
Don't say things like this. You'll upset me. Dipoto can't be as bad as Bavasi and Jack Z. I refuse to believe it.
>>64251848
No way, I like the way girls hair smells.
>>64251920
I'm excited about him, plus he deficiencies mean Montero will get more time!
>>64252979
Quit hating bro lol
The dentroit bullpen is why they didn't get to the WS in 2013 and 2014.
Max striking out 14 trough 7 just to have Benoit have papi drive in 2 for the lead? Lol
It was so sad.
>>64252773
Lots of great players never won a ring. Implying one player can win a WS all by himself.
>>64253070
This. Just because A-Rod doesn't have a ring doesn't mean he isn't a great player.
>Rob Rasmussen DFAd
poor guy. 27 career innings and a 7 ERA. not a good look
>>64252773
Ted Williams, Ty Cobb, A-Rod, Jim Thome, Barry Bonds(cheater), Ken Griffey Jr, Don Sutton, Gaylord Perry, Jeff Bagwell, Ernie Banks, Harmon Killebrew, George Sisler, Tony Gwynn, Nap Lojie, Carl Yazstremski, all never one a World Series ring, but they all suck, right?

Brought a throwback for the occasion.
>>64253497
Holy fuck what is this?
how much playing time is he getting next year yankbros?
>>64253525
He's probably going to be the infielder edition of what Chris Young was last year, so he'll play a lot of games, but probably not start a lot.
>>64253516
Forgot pic
>>64253525
Oh, yankbros. You're going to have quite a time with Ackley.
I was one of the biggest Ackley supporters throughout, however, that last season sealed the deal for me that he is a top tier bust. I have no idea about the depth on your team, but expect a lot of popups and groundouts to the right side. On the plus side he'll get hot in August out of nowhere and give everyone hope that he's finally "getting it".
Is St. Louis the best meam team?
>>64253525
>>64253611
how did seattle manage to ruin his career to that extent? a tragedy
>>64253525
"SWING and a miss, Ackley goes down swinging. That's his third strikeout today and the inning is over with runners on 2nd and 3rd."
Get used to hearing variations of that.
>>64253642
My personal belief is when they moved him from 2nd base to the outfield during his 2nd full season. That was a whole season before Cano showed up. He was a GG finalist at 2nd in his 1st full season. So, instead of working well with him when he had a really bad slump they brought up other prospects and messed with his head by moving him to OF without really helping him. That was Eric Wedge's doing.
Then the next year, matchup Mclendon really messed him up by sitting him after hot streaks or hot days, just because of a matchup here or there.
Then last year was a total train wreck. He came in heavier and just looked like a dead man. It was just more compounding of what had happened the previous two years.
>>64253693
I read this in Rick Rizzs voice with that accentuated "SWING".
>>64253693
"And there is that classic Ackley thousand-yard stare into the left field bleachers. One wonders whether there is an underlying deep psychological trauma that needs addressing."

I noticed that too. Seems like an unnecessary update to me
so only Griffey and Piazza will make the HoF this year?
>>64254443
Piazza, Griffey, Mussina, Martinez, Bagwell, Schilling, and Hoffman should all get in to be candid with you, kindred.
Moment : 2015
Shark attempts to grab that little niglet Ventura during the brawl, but unfortunately his greasy black skin allowed him to slip away.
>instead he grabs some random fatass and shoves his face into the dirt and rubs it in.
>>64254235
They knew Smarch was pitching, and were huddling by the access gates that day. So yeah, people wanted some souvenirs.
>>64254443
I feel like there at least 15 guys that are good enough to get in, but Griffey, Piazza and Bagwell will probably be the only ones that make the cut of the retard writers.
>>64254482
I would love to see a year like this. It would make things a lot easier in future years as well.
>>64253999
The Dodgers also have a "shitty fucking offense"
>>64254534
I just hope that the writers don't decide to let Bonds or Clemens in before those guys
Some guy has been keeping track of every ballot that voters have made public. Only 50 votes have been made public so far.
Bagwell is on 82% of them.
Bonds is on 52%
Griffey is on 100%
Hoffman is on 72%
Martinez is on 48%
McGwire is on 18%
Mussina is on 48%
Piazza is on 90%
Raines is on 76%
Schilling is on 50%
Trammel is on 46%
Sosa is on 16%
>>64254727
and Clemens is on 52%
>field manager of a professional baseball teams is called a "manager"
>field manager of amateur baseball team is called a "coach" or "head coach"
Why do we do this? How come my high school baseball coach wasn't a "manager?" Why would his title have changed if he were hired to lead the local minor league team?
>clemens used steroids
>clemens isn't a top 4 all time pitcher
Tipped faggots fuck you
>>64254748
Because the manager of a major league club is in constant communication with the front office of the organization. Minor League clubs and high-schools don't have a front office.
The position is more involved at the major league level.
That's why retard.
I'm ready for the lynching of whoever doesn't vote for griffey
this guy voted for Sosa but not Bagwell lmao
https://twitter.com/ChrisDeLuca/status/676598674135257089
>>64254851
If Griffey doesn't get unanimous, expect Stephen A. Smith and Skips Bayless to talk about how it's because the voters are racist.
>>64254718
I agree. I personally think the following guys should be in (even though I know they can only vote for 10). I personally exclude known roid guys.
Griffey
Piazza
Bagwell
Schilling
Martinez
Trammell
Mussina
Kent
Raines
Hoffman
Marginal but still worthy if guys like Fred Lynn or the like are in:
McGriff (I hate the arbitrary 500 HR rule) he was a fantastic player
Lee Smith (Retired as the all-time saves leader and that didn't get broken for quite a while. That's a pretty big deal I believe.)
Carlos Delgado (It's criminal that he got less than 5% of the vote in his first year. That guy was great.)
>>64254936
Didn't Delgado show up on the Mitchell report?
What's up with 'white people' being blonde at 16 and then brunette in adulthood?
Is it a degenerative gene?
>>64254936
>clemens used steroids

Griffey isn't getting 100% because faggots like Buster Olney are abstaining from voting
>>64254975
No. You had me worried for second.
>>64255002
Look, I'll admit I'm not the most knowledgeable about what Clemens did or didn't do. However, hi name is in the Mitchell Report as an HGH user and his resurgence was extremely sketchy, to me at least. I personally wouldn't admit him to the HOF.
>>64250099

>>64255093
Thera are literally 2 RHP who were better than Clemens and they both played in the same era at the same time. That's Pedro and Maddux. Clemens is a hall of famer and if you can't accept that then your opinion literally cannot be taken into consideration.

Delusion at its finest
>>64255185
I never said he wasn't a great pitcher. In my mind he would have been a HOF without help, but there's a high likelihood that he cheated. Therefore he nullified his own achievements in a lot of baseball fans minds.
>>64255205
I mean the Mets could still re-sign Cespedes. And everyone sees the Walker trade as a good one.
Dem Mets aren't killing themselves this offseason, they know how to avoid trouble.
who /readyformlb16theshow/ here?
>>64255283
>Delusion
Delusion would be thinking Cespedes isn't going to stop giving any fraction of a fuck the second he gets his money

>>64255392
He's pretty mediocre-bad.
He was overrated coming into the offseason and to most people's surprise, all the front offices caught on. Hence why no one has signed him.
Most expected there would be a lot of action on him.
Yearly reminder
>>64255433
>>64255461
Who would be the best free agent pitcher currently unsigned? I'm thinking Kazmir or Gallardo.

Three People You Meet In HOF Voting
>1. The Barry Bonds Voter
Virtually everybody who voted for him voted for Roger Clemens; virtually everybody who voted for Clemens voted for him.
A person who voted for Bonds was much more likely to vote for:
Mark McGwire: 19 percent, compared to 6 percent of Bonds non-voters
Mike Piazza: 84 percent to 69 percent
Meanwhile Bonds voters were much less likely to vote for:
Edgar Martinez: 15 percent to 36 percent
Lee Smith: 12 percent to 33 percent
Mike Mussina: 22 percent to 35 percent
>2. The Curt Schilling Voter
The Curt Schilling voter is far more likely than the Schilling non-voter to vote for:
Jeff Bagwell: 72 percent to 51 percent
Mike Mussina: 42 percent to 20 percent
Tim Raines: 72 percent to 50 percent
Alan Trammell: 29 percent to 22 percent
and less likely to vote for
Jeff Kent: 9 percent to 18 percent
Lee Smith: 18 percent to 31 percent
Sammy Sosa: 3.3 percent to 6.6 percent
>3. The Short-Ballot Voter
But some voters find a way to choose just seven, or four, or even two candidates. Of those who voted for seven or fewer, the preferred candidates (relative to the rest of the voters) are Fred McGriff, Alan Trammell and Lee Smith. They especially hate Bonds/Clemens, Larry Walker and Jeff Bagwell.
The Hall of Fame purged scores of non-active writers from the voter rolls this year. So what can we learn about the purged voter?
They aren't Bonds voters. Just 33 percent voted for Bonds, compared to 39 percent on all public ballots.
They aren't Schilling voters. Just 24 percent voted for Schilling, compared to 45 percent on all public ballots.
They are short-ballot voters. Only 29 percent voted for 10 names last year, compared to 57 percent of all public ballots.

>>64255509
Kazmir got exposed and Gallardo was excellent for the first half and then was solid in the post season.
I like Gallardo not because he's a beaner but because he can actually pitch and survive a stacked Toronto lineup with a 90mph fastball.
But between him and Kazmir, Chen is better than both of them, by a good margin.
>>64255509
Kazmir, Gallardo, Kenta Maeda. Lincecum and Kennedy have potential but are far from sure things.
The best value though is going to be for Doug Fister. He has a very good chance to be a solid 3.
>>64255443
He was our best player for one month
>>64253999
>shity fucking offense
maybe you didn't watch baseball last year or something, but if so, you shouldn't comment about it
>>64255443
uhhh maybe because you don't judge someone based on a short span of time where they're playing out of their mind, especially when it's another shit work ethic cuban who is playing for a contract
cespedes's second half screams career apex
>>64255560
I was actually pretty high Gallardo, but I hate the idea of giving up a draft pick to the fucking Rags. Chen likes to give up the homerun a lot and doesn't eat up that many innings per appearance, or so I've read. He would also cost a draft pick. Kazmir just falls apart in the second half which sucks massive dick, because he would be great otherwise. Tough decision overall
>>64255582
>Doug Fister
Bro r u for real.
I got to see him close out a game at dodger stadium earlier this year and man that dude completely lost it. He is nothing like he was in 2014 with that sub 3 ERA.
He lost his starting job to Tyson Ross' little brother lol
He gave up a 470ft dinger to Crawford in the 9th inning it was only because the Nats had a 2 run lead that he got the save.
I wouldn't sign him unless it was a minor league deal.
>>64255615
Mad af lmao relax dude.
>>64255638
Chen does eat up innings though gives up dingers but even then he doesn't allow too many runs. Has a + curveball as well.
Worth 15m a year imo

Probably stupid question but why do teams give Opt Out options in contracts that only the players are able to exercise but not the team?
>>64255720
>I went to a game and he pitched bad so he's never going to be good again
great analysis daddy-o
>>64255735
Teams don't "give" opt-out clauses. It's a player/agent influenced clause.
And trams do have an opt-out of their own it's called a trade clause.
If a player wishes to assure his spot on the team he would then have a 'no-trade' clause.
Pretty simple
>>64255735
The player is more likely to sign if he can opt out early and get a contract for more money elsewhere if he still preforms on this same level as when he was first signed
daily reminder that Pete Rose will NEVER EVER be reinstated and he doesn't deserve to be anyway
How many players have no-trade clauses?

>>64256608
Hm, I wonder what's in these cups...
>>64256608
What a qt
How does NPB compare to baseball here?
I constantly hear about how ridiculously hitter friendly KBO is, but I don't hear anything of the sort of NPB.
How we feeling tonight Giantsbros?
>>64256784
NPB is AAA all around with the pitching being stronger than its hitting. Most consider NPB a step above AAA but not quite MLB.
KBO is AA talent across the board with the exception of very few pitchers who have come across and had success.
>>64256839
How do you think Eric Thames would fare if he came back to MLB? Kang saw quite a bit of success here, so it only stands to reason that Thames, literally the best player in Korea, would at least be All-Star material, correct?
>>64256839
Do you like braces on little qts?

Later tbqh with you Joe
>>64256643
I do. Getting Maeda could potentially solve the Bullpen problem (Maeda as a projected #3 will likely shift Bradley, Anderson and De la Rosa into the pen).
Personally, I wouldn't, as Bradely and Anderson are ready for Majors.
>>64256942
>MLB social media team trying that hard make a meme
So I told Hanley to lay down on the floor... he actually did it the absolute madman hahaha!
>>64256903
Had to look up Thames just to remember his face. KBO pitching isn't a strong as the NPB or most AAA it's why you see dudes post crazy HR numbers. To say that Thames would make an all star comeback is just kinda distant imo
>>64256966

>gints
here?
They signed one of the worst contracts of the offseason.
Cueto has a career 5.5 ERA in the post season or something like that. Litterally a choker.
Also he was complete shit in the 2nd half of last year posting a 4.76 ERA with the Royals. He was probably one of the worst trade deadline moves. His ONLY good game was the WS game against the mest. And i agree that was a legitmately good pitching performance. But it shows that hes extremely inconsistent. And you want to sign him to a long term deal?
What the literal fuck
He is also a class-A piece of shit who has actually ended someones career. (Thats the only reason why he was a good fit on the royals desu)
I guarantee he will shit the bed next year
>>64256784
NBP is also pretty racist towards gaijin players. Batters get massive strike zones and pitchers get extremely small strike zones.
>>64257017
Is anyone really impressed by a no-hitter anymore?
I enjoy that fact that DG pretends that the Giants didn't win the season series against the dodgers, including two shutout sweeps. One of those sweeps bumgarner scored more runs than the entire Dodgers roster.
Also that the Dodgers team he expects to win the division got NO HIT TWICE in 2 WEEKS.
>>64257119
why are you so obsessed with dg? stop replying to him, stop mentioning him
>>64257112

I think this is Scioscia's last season. The Angels might tank.
Houston should lock up the division pretty easily, they have no excuse not to at this point.
>>64257544
I doubt it since Moreno was willing to let his GM walk out over keeping Sosh
This is a picture of Kenta Maeda arriving in Los Angeles to meet with the Doyers.
What's he thinking lads?

What the fuck is with the doyers and asian pitchers?
it hasn't gotten them anywhere in the last 20 years but they keep going back to the well.
>>64257674
Is Maeda as good as everyone says? I mean no one is, but is he really any good at all?
Can someone kindly explain this?
I get that a ball beyond the infield ends the game but why all on the 1st - 2nd base said?
>>64257774
the batter is known for pulling the ball in that direction
>>64257766
>as good as everyone says
>everyone
A lot of people disagree about him, actually. His biggest supporters are probably overrating him by a lot.
>>64257774
They must have been expecting the hitter to have an extreme tendency to hit it to the right side.
>>64257774
Oh Joe Maddon you silly gu- wait a minute...
>>64257785
That's what I thought. Tanaka isn't even as good as people make him out to be.

Maybe some LF/CF? Not that "70 games Pagan".
Is there anyway the lastros don't win their division? The only competition they have is Texas basically.

Why don't the mets look at a mid tier OF like gordon, span or fowler?
>>64257807
>>64257807
Maybe we just listen to different people. I expected Yu Darvish, for example, to be as good as Tanaka has been, and hoped he could be better (and he has). Tanaka has surpassed my expectations as well.
I think recent history goes to show that the best way to determine if a foreign pitcher has a good shot of success is to scout him traditionally - his body, power, stamina, stuff, poise, confidence, etc.
If he's built like an American pitcher and throws like one (and the results are great) I'd be more hype than a guy with the same numbers who is merely 6', 190 and who can't get swinging strikes when he wants.
>>64259882

How did they expect that to work? It seems way too crowded, and adds the likelihood of someone messing up

A traditional shift would have been much better.

I am a dodgers fan but I cannot deny that this is their year
>>64260107
It makes me wonder if they tried that in practice before. If they didn't, there's absolutely no way someone didn't fuck up.
What's the best game you went to last season famalam?

>go to minor league game dollar monday admission

>>64259963
span is CONFIRMED
but in reality basically the ownership is such that they can never justify spending money for anything at all
so a mid tier outfielder with not much upside is especially not gonna get much of a deal
>>64260217
watched degrom outduel greinke and çuçk him out of his scoreless streak
>>64260217
I was at the game in SF when Hudson gave his farewell speech. It was a sweet moment watching him reflect on his career and they had a video of a bunch of old coaches and teammates saying goodbye. Even Billy Boy made an appearance. Plus Tomlinson hit an inside the park homer which was fucking rad.
>yfw the rookies win the NL West
>>64249801
I don't know
Franklin Morales has been pretty godawful in the postseason
>>64260437
Well the mets need offense badly. Conforto will be better but you need someone to pick up the missing bat of Cespedes.
>>64259930
Ah. Thought we still had him.
Thanks
>>64260217
Last game of the season by default since it was the only win I saw this year.
>tfw 1-4
>>64260654
>Hudson
I'm still sorta amazed at the impact he had in just around 2 seasons at SF, at the end of his career no less when other than half a season really did not perform that well.
>>64260110
Is this a norm for him or just a rarity?
>>64261423
Tim and his wife did a lot of humanitarian work out here, plus you had some fans and supporters from his Oakland days happy to see him back in the bay area.
>>64261438
Johnny Cueto is one of the most inconsistent pitchers you'll see. Hell probably be fine in the babby league with the exception of a few teams (Diamondbacks, Cubs). He gets absolutely BTFO in the AL though.
>>64261544
>after everything was over, he and his agent came out saying he was "tipping"
Excuse maker too.
>>64261562
Is his shimmy tipping?
>>64261562
That's what happens when you set an mlb record for most ER in 2 or less innings. You tend to find any excuse you can find.

>not "fowl ball.gif"
>>64262183
I still can't believe something like this actually happened
>>64262194
but it wasn't a foul ball, it was called a dead ball and they didn't count the pitch.
>>64262267
it probably wasn't a fowl either but you're missing the point

Game went on for over 5 hours. Didn't get home until almost 2am and had to get up early for work the next day and ended up getting sick as fuck
Worth it.
Swear to god i had PTSD from the 2014 WS. Winning in 2015 got rid of it.

Is this the hottest new meme among casual garbage "fans"?
>>64262667
How much is Mr Manfred paying you to post this?
>>64262605
Yeah I honestly don't know what I would feel if jays went onto the world series and lost in 7. I would much rather them lose in the ALCS. Coming that close and losing is fucking gut wrenching.
>>64262605
>Swear to god i had PTSD from the 2014 WS.
What do you think of Bumgarner?
>>64262540
Lifelong fans since the trade deadline
>>64262711
I agree. Until we won in 2015 I wished they had never made the WS in 2014. Now, i'm okay with it.
For a year I woke up in the middle of the night at least 3 times a week thinking about it. I was mad Alex hit the triple in the bottom of the 9th because that gave us even more hope. It was bad, and frankly pretty embarrassing to be that emotional about sports.
I had the same mindset this year too. I would have rather we lost in the ALCS or the ALDS than lose the WS again because losing in 2014 was honestly one of the worst things I've experienced.
>>64262605
>Swear to god i had PTSD from the 2014 WS. Winning in 2015 got rid of it.
As a Giants fan, 2010 and 2012 didn't get rid of the 2002 childhood PTSD.
Had to wait until 2014 because the situations had to be similar for me.
2002 and 2014 both SF teams were Wildcard entries, both went 7 games, both had 3-2 lead after 5 games heading into enemy territory.
The difference obviously other than the result was how they were achieved, whereas 2002 was literally choking a lead and chance to win it all, 2014 was literally (Bumgarner) being clutch as fuck and defending a lead to win the title.
Essentially it had to poetic in a sense for closure to really take effect.
How will Daddy Cuck embarrass himself today, /mlb/
>>64262749
doesn't bother me anymore. From oct 2014 -oct 2015 I couldn't even say his name.
Now, I don't give a fuck and i'm at peace with it. Perhaps 2015 couldn't have happened without 2014
>>64262829
It was tough to see the Jays lose the way they did in game 6 because they had so many chances. I would still take that loss over a world series loss. Getting so close and coming up short fucking blows.
At least there is the Heyward press conference to stifle some of the intense boredom from this cold stove
I'd rather go out in the WS so we can at least have finally fucking made it
>>64262898
The ALCS is usually a tougher match up than the WS. I would have felt pretty good about their chances against the Mets.
>>64262937
Depending on how you regard division and pennant banners, 2nd and 29th are essentially the same. You did not win what everyone plays for. It's nice to make it to the world series, but if you did not win it's really not all that great.
