oh yeah, baseball

i feel really bad…i haven’t watched any playoff baseball this year yet, and I dunno if I’m gonna start today. Skins and then I’m hitting the library.

Oh well. so it goes. Poor cubbies.

I was shocked that the Cubs were eliminated so quickly. But then I caught myself and wasn’t.

My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver

Come on, California

If the Angels lose tonight I’ll have both of my WS teams eliminated. I really thought that the Cubs would make a run.

Has there ever been a bigger bandwagon following than what the Rays have amassed?

watch what happens in and around DC the next week or so

Redskins fans are an excitable lot, and the team looks really good. All you fans of other teams who have to hang around Redskins fans are probably gonna get really really pissed. The hyperbole will be insufferable, I’m sure.

Also, see Boston: 2004.

Redskins fans do this pretty much every year

The team starts off well and then tanks it, but after week 2 the Skins are Superbowl bound.
