    - Barely, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 4, 06:18 5
      - As a sports fan, I love it mainly cuz there was no penalty for being a WC. As a team that finally could reach that level, I'm annoyed - Will Hunting Sep 4, 06:22 4
        
        I think it'd be better than nothing after being pure sh*t for so long. But, I hate to say it... we may be the team of destiny this year. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 4, 06:23 3
        
        I wonder what the Vegas line was on us winning the East this year before the season? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 4, 06:26 2

    - That's good to know. -- nm - TWuG Sep 4, 06:13 1

        it *amazes* me that people do this. truly. i would feel so worried and guilty that i wouldn't enjoy the day off *anyway*. - Andie Sep 4, 06:44 2
