Let's do this thing
Bill:
Forecast for game time: 50 degrees with a steady 15mph wind out the West Northwest … Ah, Octobah baseball in Baseball City, USA!
Mike:
You believe this dude in a CNNSI in a prediction piece gives the bullpen "edge" to Cleveland?
Mike:
WTF? I mean how can a bullpen than contains Borowski evah have the edge ovah a pen with Jonathan Papelbon?
Bill:
Yeah, well, on the othah hand baseball uber pundit Pinto writes that "Boston is a nearly flawless team."
Bill:
I've nevah much undahstook the human desiah to play the role of Pythia, you know.
Mike:
Yeah, I guess it's that need to try to make ordah out of chaos.
Mike:
Ironic isn't it, since it's the great unknowing chaos that makes the playoffs magical?
Bill:
Seriously, the only prediction worth considering is Lou Gorman's — "The sun will rise, the sun will set and tomorrow I'll eat lunch."
love that mean face btw - it is truly Papelbonesque

i'm trying to type this as quietly as i can since it's very silent here in cleveland. they won't take kindly to our spanking c.c. like that so i'm gonna lay low. if we jump all over carmona, most indian fans will surrender to us on site.
got to watch the game with rj and logan since they weren't allowed to be with any indians fans tonight. we all had a lot of fun together and will do it again tomorrow. let's go red sox!

logan is firmly in the Red Sox camp! his other grandma bought him some indians clothes but rj put them in a safe until this series is over :D

vermonter: no. The rule says that if in the view of the umpire the goal was to interfere instead of tag the base, that is illegal interference.
The rule says absolutely nothing about touching the base. That's just been a rule of thumb some people use, to help the umpire determine intent.

Bob: they can't drive me out, I live in WA!
Besides, the media already tried to run me out when I voted for Nomar 40,000 times for the All-Star game. It didn't work, though I eventually left on my own. :-)
