In last night's Yankee game, Michael Kay was saying that the people he felt sorry for the most were the RADIO guys. Who basically have to keep talking, nonstop, for what turned out to be 7 hours...

I like to set the bar low, so I don't get disappointed too often. I'd just be happy to see them lose less than 100.You know it's going to be a long season when the Nationals are ahead of you...
Nice game by John "Destroyer of Bullpens" Maine last night. I think his pitch count was about 275 by the 4th inning.
As I write this, the dog who is sleeping on my foot just farted on it. Bad things happen when the Mets are involved.
I'd offer my fan interest to the highest bidder, but watching them is like the high speed flaming train wreck you can't turn away from.
I wonder if they resumed beer sales at some point. When I was in college I went to a Brewers game that lasted 16 innings. They quite selling beer in the 7th, but resumed around the 11th inning or so. For the sake of the Cards fans, I hope they did the same.
Or 50 cent hot dogs or something. That would be cool. Can't wait to go to a Braves game next time they do that.
Mets are on national TV for the third day in a row... WHY?
Way to go Mets! 6-1 over the Cubs! 
And the Rays sweep the Sox...
And the Rays sweep the Sox...
I gotta love that one.And the Rays sweep the Sox...
^Exactly. Shirts like that exude confidence and sexiness in a way 3-wolf shirt never could. 
Hey, few teams are. They are an embarassment. At least I used to be able to enjoy watching them until Labor Day. Now they just suck. Over/under on Manuel being there past 5/15? Minaya is a joke. Who was the last player they actually developed?

Finally get to see how the Braves stack up against the Phillies today. I hope they leave Kendrick in as long as possible!
Minaya is gone before May.

Oh yeah right, like you Sox fans don't have ones like that? I know you do, I saw them for sale on the street right in front of Fenway...
Then again, you're the ones who do the "Yankees Suck" cheer even when there are no Yankee fans present, and when the Yankees are not, technically, even in the game.
And whatever this 3-wolf thing is...couldn't care less.
As for the Mets being an embarrassment. Two things: 1) Ask Cub fans after last night how embarrassing they are; and 2) Sox are 4-9. Mets are 5-8. You do the math.
^I don't have one of those shirts, i think they're an embarassment, honestly. I laugh a little, on occasion, when I see one that's kinda clever, but wouldn't ever buy one. Just a classless/obnoxious drunk/pink hat kinda move, IMO.
I also don't start, and rarely participate in, any of the "Yankees Suck" chants. I will admit that I chuckle a little when I hear one that's out of place, like at a basketball game, or a concert, etc. Not that Yankees fans should claim to be above that kind of behavior, either, as you guys have your own chants, and I seem to remember hearing a "1918" chant at most Yankees/Sox games until recently... Will admit that whoever borrowed Conan O'Brian's "In the Year 2000" chant to retaliate against the Yankees was pretty clever, though 
Google "3 wolf moon", or save yourself the trouble, and just imagine the sort of person that, in your eyes, would wear a t-shirt with 3 wolves howling at the moon. Yeah, that's the guy he was talking about. You've probably seen him at Walmart.
Lastly, pointing out that the Mets are one game better than the Sox is all well and good, but wanna put any money down about whether that holds up? History isn't on your side. Asking the Cubs really doesn't matter, as a 1-game sample is fairly meaningless. 2004 ALCS, Yankees clobbered the Sox 19-8 one game (game 3?). Didn't work out so well for the Yankees over the next 4, as I recall.
The worst teams in MLB history still win 60 games or so. Forget who said it, but basically every team is going to win 60 games and lose 60 games, just going to happen. Those last 42 games are what makes or breaks your season.

^I'm just a regular American guy. I've got a truck, smoke a little too much, maybe missing a few toes. Nothing too unusual. At my 9-to-5 I've gotten by for years on my old Two Wolf Moon T-Shirt. "Bring the loader over to bay 4" they'd say, and I'd get over there and get it done, my two wolves classy enough for work but also letting the passing ladies know I'm a raging torrent of untamed American spirit yearning to breath free, preferably naked. I'm no Don Juan, but I did ok -- mostly with Janice from Accounting, until she got diptheria.
Most of my income went to the good life, brewed high in the Rockies if you know what I mean. But one day I decided to take some hard earned dough and upgrade. Bigtime. When I got my Three Wolf Moon t-shirt, I knew my life had changed, but I didn't know how much.
When I put it on, the effect was immediate. 33% more wolf was almost too much to handle. It was like wearing 1500 ccs of chaps on a 1800 cc motorcycle. The vibrations alone were almost enough to throw me off my stride. And the fact that the third wolf faces backwards while howling, demonstrating individuality at the same time as unity of purpose and nobility of spirit, was a metaphor so powerful Roy, the guy who steals my mail, practically took his own foot off with his weed whacker the moment he saw me.
Jesus.
After suturing him up with some spare baling twine, I trotted down to the hardware store to stock up. Bad idea. The rippling of my well endowed man curves apparently set the wolves to almost a hypnotic shimmering, trapped and yet freed under the opalescent moon they eternally worship and yet deny. Some guy took one look at me and backed right into a concrete planter. I almost stopped to see if he was ok, but then I remembered that wolves don't stop for anybody, particularly when howling.
These days, I'm making $1.15 more an hour, and I keep getting free cable. With the savings, I'm thinking ...maybe...just maybe, it'll be Four Wolf Time soon. But for those of you who have put in your time and training on the One and Two wolf shirts, I highly recommend investing in an upgrade. You'll never truly soar free without one.

Of course, but we only do that when there are Sox fans (or the team itself) present.

Forgot to mention earlier, but while at the Sox game on Saturday, I met the Sox' President, Larry Luccino. He was walking through the concourse, and I had gotten to the park early, just kinda did a double-take for a moment as I saw him come up. Couldn't get out any more than a "Hi Mr. Luccino", but thought it was kinda cool...
