If the D'Backs make the playoffs, what team would you want to play?

I know there are 6 weeks left but what team would you like to see the Diamondbacks play in the NLDS?

Astros and Phillies own us for some reason. Red's won't be there if we get the Wild Card. So either the Cardinals or Mets, so I chose the Mets because their starting pitching doesn't scare me.

In order from Best to Worst Option

1. Philadelphia - No pitching, inexperienced offense is largely a ballpark facade

2. Cardinals - 25 guys on the roster and other than Carpenter, Pujols, and Rolen they all suck. And it's only a matter of time before Rolen gets hurt.

3. Reds - very similar to DBacks talentwise except with bigger bats

4. Mets - No way our pitching not named Webb can get through that lineup without giving up eight runs.

5. Astros - I want no part of Clemens/Oswalt against our anemic offense over a five game series

I'm sick of the Cardinals. They get so much press and they suck. They only have one reliable pitcher and their position players are always hurt. Bring em on, they don't scare me one bit (unless Pujols is up with the game on the line....)

Not many votes here yet, but I said the Mets. With Pedro falling apart down the stretch - and Orlando getting frequently rocked - they would be a good matchup. Good enough to pay attention and the DBacks woulod be capable underdogs against them.

The Reds are who I'd pick from those but the only realistic options are the Mets and the Cards. I chose the Cards just because they aren't close to the Mets. I don't really see us advancing but with a little luck we may be able to get the upset over one of them. The Mets starters are terrible and Pedro keeps getting injured and hasn't pitched too well. If Webb wins his start and Hernandez pitches like his brother does in the playoffs we can pull it off.

If we made the playoffs today, I'd want us to play the Mets. They're melting down lately.

Plus it could be payback for 1999.

 

[Phxchris1989]

That's true, it would be nice to get some payback.
