On the flip side, it should be a great game in Atlanta tonight and the best thing about it is it will be on TV. Clemens goes and he has been red hot.
Atlanta's best pitcher Chuck Jones is on the mound.

To Atlanta, this is like a playoff series. This is the first time since 1990 that they haven't gone to the playoffs. All they have left to play for is to knock out the Stros, who have been a playoff rival in the past.
Of all the teams with losing records for the Stros to play, this is probably the last one they'd wanna play.
Cardinals are home, and they are playing a very bad team who is playing for absolutely nothing.
Looks like the Mets will open against the Pads or Dodgers(I'm still thinking Pad's) and the other team faces either Houston or St Louis.
I don't have the foggiest notion of who will emerge from that league, not even a clue. Pedro being completely out hurts the Mets. He can't even be used in relief.
AL is interesting only in seeing who plays the Yanks in the first round. Anybody know who wins the tiebreak between Tigers and twins? WHo won this years series between them?
