For reasons which I cannot contractually disclose

although I really like the Rays, I will take it as a good omen if the Phillies win.

Blast and botheration.

Heh

Nope, actually. COMPLETELY different reasons.

Blast and botheration.

I half expected Game 5 to end in a tie. For that matter, he might force the whole Series itself to end in a tie. He has done worse before—like canceling the entire World Series outright. IMHO, the biggest problem with America today is Bud Selig. Doesn’t the President have the power to remove him? Or Congress to impeach him?

Could

charge him with treason, but to which enemy has he been giving aid and comfort?

steroid users perhaps? isn’t Cuba still an enemy? aren’t the Yankees the evil empire?

You mean

Selig hasn’t been supplying steroids to Cuban who then have their players defect and become Yanquis/Yankees for all these year?

:-P

Aki

can’t come up with the ball. Kind of sloppy with the throw after that.

Anddddd....

Cue complete batshit insanity in the City of Brotherly Love. Watching the third strike on Gameday was a little anticlimactic, but I’m sure the highlight will be up soon.

Hey, now the Red Sox are no longer the defending champions. And this augurs well for mysterious portents of unexplained omens. And…. now baseball’s over.

Damn.

Blast and botheration.

Anyone want

to make the joke about the City of Brotherly Love that’s left hanging there?

Congrats to Phillies

I have to say that I’m glad to see the title back on the NL side of the divide. At least for the next 5 minutes there can be no talk of AL superiority. 4 games to 1 is awfully superior.

I remain optimistic about our Rox in 2009. When do pitchers and catchers report? I motion for a PR countdown clock!
