of course

Of course the Phillies are offically done today. Naturally, they're gonna finish one or two games back of the wild card. What else could you expect? What did I predict at the beginning of the year? Another late season run that would captivate people yet just fall short? Of course. Because that's how they do it.



Hey, at least the Braves aren't in the playoffs this year. That's something.


I guess I'll do picks....

Yankees over Tigers in 3 (prove me wrong, Detroit!)

Twins over A's in 4

Mets over Dodgers in 5

Padres over Cardinals in 4

----

Yankees over Twins in 7

Mets over Padres in 6

-----

Yankees over Mets in 6 (boooooo)

(By the way, I hope to God that this doesn't happen, but it probably will. Baseball has just been lame like that recently. I want Padres over Tigers, but there's no way.... is there?)

For the record

Fuck the Red Sox. You dickwads have been phoning it in since '04. Get over yourselves and win a division once in a while.

I didn't mean that! Papi, you're so loveable! And you played well, I admit. First Sox player since Jimmie Foxx to hit 50 - not shabby. But as for you...




...you're dead to me, boy. More dead than you're dead mother.

Here comes the Phillies bandwagon! Wait for me!
