[...Just wait till next year...] The divisional races have been settled, and we are now left with the following pairings for the LCS: NL: St. Louis vs Los Angeles AL: Toronto vs Kansas City Is this some kind of joke? Is this supposed to entertain we baseball fans?? Ain't it funny how the more things change, the more they remain the same??? KC was in it last year, but they're in it just about every year and EVERY YEAR THEY LOSE. The entry from the NL East is from a different town, but just like last year's entry they are a CAREER-YEAR TEAM. The NL Worst entry is from a different town, but like last year's entry they are OVERRATED WITH NO BUSINESS BEING IN POST SEASON PLAY. And the AL East has once again, albeit from a different city, sent us the EVENTUAL WORLD SERIES WINNER. So, who will lose to the Blue Jays in the World Series, you ask? Well, last year the Career-Year Cubs woke up in the third game of the LCS and realized -- Hey! We're in the LCS! Suddenly, reality overwhelmed them, and their career-year performance evaporated. The Career-Year Cardinals will similarly awake sometime during their LCS play against the Dodgers. But unlike the Career-Year Cubs of 84, the opposition this time is the Dodgers, and against this Dodger team it's easy to play way over your head. Heck, John Tudor would have a season just like this season [winning 20 out of his last 21 decisions -- gimme a break!] every season if he had to face the Dodgers all the time. So, the Career-Year Cardinals will defeat the Overrated Dodgers, only to be destroyed by the Blue Jays, simply in a class by themselves. raf --- P.S. Hey Frank, give up on Foster and Mookie, and give Beane and Dykstra a chance. They can't do much worse, and they're cheaper.

Hey Rick, Do you even read your own letters? Have you been following the "overrated" Dodgers take a 2-1 lead in the LCS. Whats this about John Tudor? Try making sense next time o.k.? I do agree that the DH should be removed, but the Dodgers should have a hard time taking out the Blue Jays. Can you really believe that the Dodgers just happened to stumble into post season play. Take it from the top Rick. And by the way, George should be put on the bench and Ken and Danny should try for left field. Leave Mookie alone, I think he will bounce back in a big way next year. Bean needs alittle more time and will do if someone gets hurt again. AND IN 1986, ALL OF BASEBALL WILL FEAR THE METS.

How can you call the Dodgers overrated? What a joke.
They have the best staff in the majors and one of the most
feared hitters in all of baseball. What other team is more
deserving? You're not a sour-graped Met fan, are you?kenf@uiucuxc.CSO.UIUC.EDU (10/17/85)
Cardinals dispose of Dodgers in 6 games. Blue Jays choke in front
of the home town crowd. It's a show down in the Show Me state.
So sorry you were not entertained but if you think the Blue Jays
are in a class by themselves you'll have to define just what class
you are talking about. They are the best baseball team in Canada but
that's like being the best bob sled team in Hawaii :-).
