Sing it. We are in. But the real question is, can we win? I think we can and will. I think we are just as good as the other teams in the post season. I even venture to say we are better than the NL Central team (Cubs, most likely in my mind) and we fared well against the Braves. The Giants? We swept them back in '97 after they seemed to own us that season. We have excellent pitching and enough offense to give us a chance every night. I think we got it...but I want to see what you all think - I am too excited right now to make any analysis...

 

By the way, anyone see McKeon take a jibe at Dibble on ESPN! hahhaa...

We are going to do it. I have felt that this team was special all season - you dont sign Pudge and not get something in return. Then you have Willis and Cabrera emerge on the scene. You have things happening that were totally unexpected. Then you have the return of Conine. Can anyone honestly say that this team is not as good as the rest of the teams out there in the postseason?

 

Here are our records against the playoff teams this season:

 

vs. ATL 10-9

vs. SF 1-5

vs. CHI 2-4

 

But when we opened against SF in '97, we were dominated by them during the regular season - yet we swept them in the postseason. I dont know if we will sweep SF, but I can see us beating them in 4.

 

Right now, this team is too damn special to be stopped. The players believe, the organization believes - including us, the fans. You can feel this magic in the air. This team does feel destined to do something special. Besides, look at the way we have been playing the last few weeks and look at HOW we are winning games. Look at who we are beating. We took it to the Phils, and other than a wind swept game, we beat up on them when it mattered. All season we took it to the teams that mattered. We are hardened by our journey and ready. Other teams have not had to overcome as much as we have. We are used to being on the verge of destruction - but we laugh all the way through the storm. This team will win because it believes it can. I cant wait for the playoffs to start.
