Since I continue not to be able to post comments over there, I'll send my kudos to Greg here for a great piece of work.

This is the Column

That was so good I read it twice.

Genius.

Thanks Mole and all (and kudos to they who defend Orber Moreno). I needed something to snap me and our readers out of the pre-Game 4 funk.

Speaking of 2003, Art Howe is a Phillie coach? He must really light up a room.

He will when the Philly fans set him on fire.
Of course, they'll dress him in a Santa Claus suit first.

Please don't.

You could post Greg here everyday and get the same response. The guy is awesome -- and so is his partner!

Kudos, Greg and Jay!

Fear not. Hack away I shall. Write sentences this annoyingly I will.

Not to hijack, but throwing up this song as a joke in the IGT kind of hit on the same way that Greg's blog did. In a sense it kind of ties in with the whole Kazmir for Zambrano debacle a year later as well, so as Pat Alger and Garth Brooks wrote, and Garth Brooks sang...

Just the other night a hometown football game
My wife and I ran into my old high school flame
And as I introduced them the past came back to me
And I couldnt help but think of the way things used to be.

She was the one that Id wanted for all times
And each night Id spend prayin that God would make her mine
And if hed only grant me this wish I wished back then
Id never ask for anything again.

(chorus)
Sometimes I thank God for unanswered prayers
Remember when youre talkin to the man upstairs

That just because he doesnt answer doesnt mean he dont care
Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers.

She wasnt quite the angel that I remembered in my dreams
And I could tell that time had changed me
Inn her eyes too it seemed
We tried to talk about the old days
There wasnt much we could recall
I guess the lord knows what hes doin after all.

And as she walked away and I looked at my wife
And then and there I thankedd the good lord
For the gifts in my life.

*chorus*
Some of gods greatest gifts are all too often unanswered...
Some of gods greatest gifts are unanswered prayers
