With the season ending in less than 20 days, the countdown begins to the WNBA PLAYOFFS!! Let’s take a look at how the postseason is shaping up in the Eastern Conference.
In preseason polls, most WNBA experts predicted the Connecticut Sun and Indiana Fever to challenge for the Eastern Conference crown — and that’s exactly what’s happening. They rank first and second, respectively, in the Eastern Conference standings.
However, the real surprise has been the Atlanta Dream. With a stingy defense (76.1 points allowed per game — 2nd-best in conference) and the league’s leading scorer Angel McCoughtry (22.3 ppg), the Dream are poised to make some noise in the playoffs.
In our next piece, we’ll take a look at the Western Conference. Stay tuned!!!!!

1) Are we on some Strasburg innings limit?
2) None of us can throw harder, longer and better than Freddy Garcia?
3) None of us can join a pennant race like Pettitte did in ’95?
4) None of us can give seven solid innings against a very soft hitting team?
5) None of us can intentionally walk Evan Longoria four times?
6) None of us can strikeout the team with the most strikeouts?
7) What are our roles in your organization?

If I had $200 million to burn, the New York Liberty would never lose a game.

Can she steal a base? How about her BABIP? RISP? Ah, who are we kidding, the only thing she’s better at than the Yankees is scoring with women.

Derek Jeter September 5, 2012 01:13
16 hits away from Willie Mays. I’m told he’s important. But I only hang with the Yankee Old Timers. Willie had more power than me but lots of my power was zapped from those second avenue snow bunnies that me, coney and wells were doing in the ’90s.

Hey now crazy cool Yankee fans and my twitter followers! 8 games ago, we started playing the AL EAST and I got another case of pennant fever. Check it out and like my facebook page! I love sticking my tongue out and hitting for you crazy yankee fans!
So let’s see I’ve been to the plate 35 times against our al east rivals the last 8 games. I’ve given the team 15 strikeouts, 3 walks and 4 hits! Wait you may think those stats are a typo. Nope I’m really doing this AND I want Jayson Werth’s contract. Why not talk extension now?
I love NY. It’s a crazy town of ambitious people.

Straight up. Fire Joe G. right now and hire….Robert Irvine from Restaurant Impossible. I’m telling you that would wake people up.
George Steinbrenner September 5, 2012 01:32
I was firing guys with winning records…mid-season. I balled like that. If I was in control…Pinella would come down from the booth and put Ichiro leadoff, Arod in the 2 and playing shortstop, Teixeria in the 3 I don’t care that his leg is cramping. That’s what the fucking dh is for. Cano in the 4 but defensive replacement from the 8th on if we have a lead, Jeter in the 5 hole, a minor league catcher bats 6th, grandyman in the 7th and a minor leaguer with speed in the outfield batting 8th. Then nick swisher batting 9th but I’ll make the public announcement that we are not resigning him because we are severely disappointed in his bullshit rally killing production. Look he can’t play under pressure, maybe he can play under too much pressure. Then I’ll take Adrian Gonzalez cell phone and text Mike Kay and say why not mention that AROD was a juicer and is no longer on the juice and Randy Levine signing a shell of McGwire was a dumb idea even by my standards. over and out from Heaven above in my own box sets, field level like I did in the 80′s

Keep Girardi.
Alex Rodriguez September 5, 2012 01:21
Did I actually say I wasn’t here to save the team?
Why do I get paid money?

Is No Maas aware that we have a 4 game series vs. the Orioles starting Thursday???
4 games in Baltimore!!! This is going to be some exciting baseball games.
Even if we are 1 game back by then!
Grab some food & drink. Make sure if you have a pet to keep them five feet away when Arod hits that go ahead grand slam in the 5th that you don’t want to step on your cat or small dog.

Maybe I should audition a new pitching staff for 2013?
If this a real collapse or just the by product of Phelps not getting the ball over Nova & Garcia???

I know the Yankees haven’t been playing well lately, but I don’t think it’s fair to say that they won’t make the playoffs. After all, you can’t predict baseball! The Yankees have proven clutch players (Jeter, A-Rod, etc), a great manager in Joe Girardi, and, most importantly, they know what it takes to win; I suspect we’ll see them “put it on the left side” more often than not over the next month, and potentially ride it all the way to their 27th World Series championship!
