how do you know I made it thru 2000.....

I may have slit my other wrists then…..

I've decided I need the team that loses to feel awful, no matter who it is

maybe a dropped fly ball by dicktorino or a grounder that hits jetes in the balls and while he’s writhing in pain on the ground, the winning run scores. stuff like that

I'm going to swallow my pride

(sighs…) I’ll watch the game. My attempts to boycott it has failed.

I would never boycott a baseball game.

just sayin’.

by fxcarden on Nov 1, 2009 8:08 PM EST up reply actions

I have

successfully thus far. I have only seen Utley’s two homers in game one online. Plus Curb, Bored to Death and Dexter are on so there’s stuff to watch

I love baseball

The teams may suck at life but whatever, baseball is awesome. I’ll watch the World Series no matter who’s playing.

Why would Charlie use Blanton instead of Lee?

is it just me or

did Posada just run the Yankees out of the inning on purpose to give Rivera a save opportunity?

by alexSVK on Nov 1, 2009 11:42 PM EST reply actions

Irritating

but this is as good a series as I expected. I’d like to see Philly somehow make the comeback tonight.

by Kepler on Nov 1, 2009 11:43 PM EST reply actions

Johnny Damon

that was the most impressive World Series at-bat since Mookie. And then taking 3rd on the steal topped it off. I hate the Yankees, but you’ve gotta appreciate that.

Plus, seeing the Phillies fans get shut up was awesome

i want the Phils to win

but part of me takes joy in watching Lidge blow the game.

by KeithsMoustache on Nov 1, 2009 11:50 PM EST reply actions

you know what sucks?

if you could split Lidge’s suckiness this year over the past two seasons instead, the Mets would have won the division by like 3 games last year. Fuck the baseball gods.

time to shower

after another successful night of rooting on the yankers. even after shower i can still hear buck and mccarver ringing in my ears.

One more win gets us the results we want

Strike ensues, leading to formation of salary cap
Philly fans, deceived by promises of a dynasty, help increase the national suicide rate

Gotta love the chances…

by R_Adragna on Nov 2, 2009 12:05 AM EST reply actions

do we really want a salary cap?

If the Mets front office can’t win with the plethora of financial advantages we have over 27 other teams, how could we expect them to compete on a level playing field
