    Re: MLB 2020: We'll Play Ball, I Guess.

    Here's what I have for seeding of the 16 team 1980's tournament. Opinions welcome, as its tough to do from a combo of stats/memory/nostalgia.

    1. 1984 Tigers
    2. 1986 Mets
    3. 1981 Dodgers
    4. 1988 Mets
    5. 1981 Yankees
    6. 1989 A's
    7. 1985 Blue Jays
    8. 1987 Tigers
    9. 1983 Orioles
    10. 1988 Dodgers
    11. 1982 Angels
    12. 1985 Royals
    13. 1982 Brewers
    14. 1980 Phillies
    15. 1987 Twins
    16. 1982 Cardinals

    I didn't take the 88 A's because I felt like that was the same team in 89 essentially.

            I would say so. Your top 4 are all top 7 per ELO. Your bottom 3 are all bottom 6 per ELO.

            Biggest differences:
            1983 Orioles (7 spots higher per ELO)
            1982 Brewers (7 spots higher per ELO)
            1989 A's (5 spots higher per ELO)
            1981 Yankees (5 spots lower per ELO)

            You didn't include the 1985 Yankees (they would be 5th per ELO), the 1987 Blue Jays (7th per ELO), or the 1983 White Sox (T-8th per ELO).

              I never cared for Scioscia, but I really liked Orel Hershiser back in the day.

              Plus, I hated the A's, and the '88 World Series was wonderful.

                  MLB Network is airing the Buckner game right now.
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    I'll put a mythical $10 on the Mets. No way they blow this twice.
                    Never really developed a taste for tequila. Kind of hard to understand how you make a drink out of something that sharp, inhospitable. Now, bourbon is easy to understand.

                      FS1 is showing 1993 WS G6. Anything that ends in heartbreak for Philly fans is OK by me.

                          Game 1 Victory for Gooden and New York 1988
                          The New York 1988 Mets started the playoff series in style today, downing the visiting Milwaukee 1982 Brewers at Shea Stadium by a score of 4-1 to stake an early 1-0 lead in the best-of-7 series. Mets right-hander Dwight Gooden was named player of the game after he threw 9 innings of 8-hit ball.

                          Gooden allowed 1 earned run on 8 hits over 9 innings for the Mets. He walked 1 and struck out 5.

                          "There was a kid in the stands with a sign that said 'New York 1988 Mets (probably) World Series Champions'," Gooden told reporters after the game. "I told him, 'Premature, but I like the confidence.'"

                          Game 2 is scheduled for tomorrow in New York. The scheduled starters for the game are Don Sutton for Milwaukee 1982 and David Cone for New York 1988.

                            redsox made some odd trades....

                            cooper was traded for bernie carbo and george scott. boomer was ok, but old. only functional for a couple season.

                            carbo in fact was traded to the sox twice. once for reggie smith, then again for cecil. those are two solid players. granted the sox were set in of for some time if they could have kept rice-lynn-dewey together. yaz moved to 1b/dh. so cooper could have done the same, but all lefthanded hitters (reggie, cecil, yaz) and back then they loved right handed hitters with the wall.

                                Based on how they actually pitched in 82. He didnt start either playoff series.
