Meech’s Postseason Entrance Exam at Big League Stew

Posted by meech.one at 2:01 pm ET 20 Comments

I had the pleasure of taking the Phillies portion of BLS’s 2009 Postseason Entrance Exam where a blogger from each playoff team answers a series of essay questions regarding their particular World Series champion contender. I made it a little more broad considering the national appeal of the Yahoo exclamation point, so pardon me if the answers are a little obvious to you, but you’re supposed to know all that shit; I’m trying to school these fools who don’t pay attention.

And I’d like to give a hearty thanks to stat wunderkind Bill Baer from Crashburn Alley for the assist on the numbers.

When you’re done with that, check out the “10 numbers” Phils/Rox article and relive the Phillies-Rockies postseason chat with Gordon Edes. Both good reads.

Very well done Meech. After the last few weeks of wondering when the playoff butterflies will hit…after reading your quiz, they finally have! I hope the 2007 spanking that we took from them will wake this team up!

A++++

I perused the other exams and yours was by far the best. You are both a gentleman and a scholar.

I’m suprised you didnt say the bullpen as being our weakest link?

Ryan, I didn’t do the strengths/weaknesses part, but I don’t think it’s as bad as everyone makes it out to be.

Thanks for the kind words though, everyone.
