  Need to dump the analysis by Nora. Out of date. If we do that again, we need someone to add some support for their reasoning.

  How about some real analysis of the playoffs. Maybe Nora can't do that since her knowledge of baseball is clearly limited to the Yankees. So find somebody else on the staff because this playoffs report is brief, unsubstantiated and provides zero insight into the current status of the playoffs. Sorry if I'm coming off as rude, but I would expect much better out of Chips.

  It is so great for baseball that both the Yankees and now the Braves have been eliminated in the early rounds. Those two teams have "hogged" post-season play during the past decade. It's great to see some Cinderella teams with lower payrolls have a shot. Economic sanity needs to be restored to baseball, and the results of the first round of the playoffs will be a step in that direction.

  4 upsets in baseball's division series! The Nets made the NBA finals, The patriots won the Superbowl last year, Terps Football won the ACC, and this year the Rams are 0-5. So many suprises so little time!

  In my defense, Eddie Nickels aka Ben Penn, the article was not meant to dive that deeply into the playoffs because they do not relate too much to Blair. As for my predictions, they made alot of sense at the time considering the Yankees have gotten to the World Series 5 out of the past 6 years. So please in the future try using your real name and don't hide behind your little alias.

  The Yankees are awful. Awful. Nomar could beat up Jeter any day. Go Blair Football.

  Ben Penn??? Sorry, that name does not ring a bell. But as far as your defense goes, I had no objections to you predicting the Yankees to win the World Series. Disregarding your bias, it was indeed a valid prediction because of the Yankees hitting, pitching staff and postseason experience, and nobody knew Anaheim would be overachieving like they have been. However, I must take objection to your statement about the baseball playoffs not relating to Blair. If they don't relate to Blair, then why have you felt the need to cover them at all? You have covered them because you realize that even though no Blair graduates are participating in the playoffs, many Blair students do care about the playoffs. And if you want to just post the scores, then I suppose that is fine. But when you make a prediction, you must back it up. Nora, I still have the utmost respect for you as a reporter.

  Actually Ed, I am the starting DH in game 1 for the Giants and therefore, it is relevant for Chips to cover.

  sorry ben but i'm going to have to disagree with you- nora's prediction was indeed invalid- just because the yankees have won in the past means absolout zilche. infact, if you follow their season/post season records you'll notice that since 96 the yankees have gone down hill. sorry nora, angels played better ball this year.

  WHY hasn't anyone been talking about the Memorable Moments? Look at:
  
  6: Pete Rose passes Ty Cobb as the hit-leader, 1985.
  
  Pete Rose was banned by former Commissioner of MLB Bart Giamatti for BETTING on baseball as manager of the Cincinnatti Reds in the late 1980's. Bud Selig, current commissioner, was Bart's sidekick. He promised to uphold the ban on Rose. However, a few years back, he allowed Rose on the field to be part of the celebration of best players or something. THIS year, Selig lifted the ban yet again to allow Rose on the field for Game 4. He made 6th on the list! I say that Rose's ban should be lifted because he did the time. Come on, people, the crowd was chanting Hall of Fame! Hall of Fame! Over and over again. Other thoughts, Blazers?
