What rain god did we anger that they replaced game 7 of the world series with pete rose and alex rodriguez?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Why isn't Doctor Strikeout bunting?  :huh:

Anyone have an answer to this question?  Tie game, man on first, no outs, batter going through the little ice age, why in the world do you not bunt?

Maddon was saving his bunt call until he had a guy at the plate with 2 strikes and a runner on third.

He has 2 sacs.  Lifetime.  I'm guessing he sucks at it.
Anyone have a start card for him with a bunt rating?

"Everything that brought you here -- all the things that made you a prisoner of past sins -- they are gone. Forever and for good. So let the past go... and live."

"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare express themselves as we did."

Good for the Cubbies.

Of course, this ushers in a new Age of Darkness heralded by the God-Emperor that will cast mankind into the blackness of evil for 10,000 years, but hey, at least Bill Murray's happy.

Two really good teams with two of the best defenses in the game played a pretty sloppy messy (though exciting) game, with stellar pitching talent struggling to get outs.  Stating the obvious but the post-season is too long.  Everyone was just gassed out there.

No shit.  And his wife/squeeze looked hott too.

Nope.  Google says I'm wrong.

Always sad when a long running streak breaks.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
