Crying down the 101
Al:
Well, the way I look at it, last night was due in paht to sympathy.
Al:
I'm sure nobody wanted to endure anothah Sciosa-led Angels crybaby fest.
Doug:
Seriously, seeing Nancy Pelosi in tears was enough California-based treacle for one day.
Mike:
What the frig is wrong with Californians anyway?
Mike:
They live in the most temperate climate in the US, are only a car ride away from mountains or beaches or vineyards or desert and yet at the slightest sign of adversisty it's all Waa Waa call a Wambulance.
Doug:
I know just look at Schwarzeneggah fercrissakes.
Doug:
Guy goes from being a groupie banging, Terminatah-playing, orgy loving Austrian muscleman bad boy to what?
Doug:
To being Maria Shrivah's p-whipped houseboy and whiney Governah Nanny to the biggest Nanny-state of all is what.
Al:
You know who I feel bad for are the ex-pat New Englandahs living out there.
Al:
I mean it's gotta be tough for a stoic, steel-balled minus 10 in wintah and 3 months of summah Masshole to put up with the incessant candy-assed piss and moan fest out there.
Mike:
Seriously. Look what it did to Simmons.
Buck - agree 100% on the lame-o jersey. And the ad.
I just cringe to think of the hours #8 spent sitting in "just-kill-me-now" fashion design meetings this summer. There is no life after hockey.

@Nola - sounds like you have a pantry design flaw too if the dog food hunting pigeons scored their treasure in the hole in the ceiling by the plumbing. Ha! Great story - unless of course you are the teller of the story. You been squashing bugs lately? This all has the feeling of a Karmic imbalance.

I'm almost giddy, I know its only the orioles, but gosh, could the Sox go 11 for the last 11 make the division a race again? Put fear into the aging MFY hearts? Its almost a bit too much to hope for, isn't it?

There's always next year. Thanks for you support.

And yes madraider - it IS to much to hope for (I have suspended hope for a few days after my bitter visit to Melbourne last night. Hope hurts.)
Let's get through the Angels and worry about the Yanks in the ALCS. Should be a cracker!

a 50-metre penalty? Yikes. Bob Watson must be moonlighting down under

I hate the Yankees, I respect the past of that orginization and now its just a cheap caricature of it's past, but I positively loathe the Jets.
What's with that cheer of theirs, like they're in eighth grade and finally learned how to spell their own first name without messing it up for the first time. HATE THE JETS.

Here's a little fodder for the clubhouse motivation session...
"We just have to try to keep playing well," Johnny Damon said. "Lately, we've been losing some close ones and it seems like no one is trying to beat Boston; they're having their way with the Blue Jays and Orioles."
