I think hugs, back slaps, and high fives should suffice. Save the champagne for winning actual titles: Division Championship, League Championship, and World Championship. Even winning the division series, to me, doesn't merit champagne. It's as if the NFL teams sprayed each other every week of the playoffs. To me there are three times that a champagne shower is merited. 1. Clinch a playoff spot, 2. Win the pennant, 3. Win the WS. That's it. The rest is just gratuitous.
  2. Houston players celebrated in style on the mound at MFY Stadium III. I cannot confirm the rumor that they went out to Monument Park after this and took shits on Miller Huggins' tomb, or whatever's out there.
  3. Cuck the Fubs.
  4. That was awesome.
  5. Gomez can still get on his horse and run down a fly ball.
  6. Holy cow it's Didn't-Show-Up-For-Workout-Gate! Bored reporters. Whatevs. You think Jim Bouton carted his hungover ass out of bed for every Monday workout? Puh-lease.
  7. I enjoy watching former Mets inflict harm on shitty Yankee fans.

She is about to become the first female analyst for a nationally televised MLB playoff game. It'll happen when Mendoza calls the Houston Astros vs. the New York Yankees in the American League Wild Card Game presented by Budweiser, along with John Kruk and Dan Shulman, at 8 p.m. ET on ESPN." Thanks for ruining a good thing with obnoxious product placement, MLB.com. And thanks for ruining a good thing with John Kruk, ESPN. I can't believe MLB didn't give me the first crack at it. So, I blew Chris Berman for NO REASON. Well, except for his ruddy handsomeness, that is. He pulled it out and blew one all over my back BACK BACK BACK BACK!

Gathering with a group of friends around the table on the Sunday before the season started to draft your team, and then let the chips fall where they may. The lead up research during spring training not only got me going for the season, but it also made me more knowledgeable of each team's players. It was just more laid back, and enjoyable. I run a league just like this, have been since 2000. Ceetar joined it this year. We draft via email for the first 10-12 rounds and then live draft (via shared spreadsheet) for the rest, since the participants are all over the nation (a few do come over to my place for pizza and drafting). It's great fun, curmudgeonly dismissals aside
  11. Fboy's normal bedtime is 9 PM. He'll have a chance to stay up at least for part of game 2 but I don't see him making it much past 10. What a shame.

  13. Dallas Keuchel to take the hill against Masahiro Tanaka. Tuesday 8 PM-ish start. Go Houston!
  14. I shaved last night, so, technically, I can just stop shaving today and call it a playoff beard. I get a good 3-4 weeks in before Fwife vetoes the beard.
  15. The fact that they won't have two games at once, to maximize television revenue, is some bullshit. Just play night games and let us watch the teams we want to watch, for fuck's sake.
  16. Waiting till Friday is SUCKY. Even waiting till Tuesday to watch the Astros smoke the MFYs will be tough.
  17. Voted for Houston because it will lead to tons of 1986 NLCS recollection.
  18. It's a no hitter! Big whoop. That'll make for some great chatter on the golf course this winter.
  19. Not to be too "vile" or "vicious," but I hope he chokes to death on a walnut.
  20. Seeing Cespedes in the lineup makes me super happy.

Matt Williams comes off worse than I imagined (the players don't like him either) and the deal for Papelbon really did upset the apple cart but, since they were able to get him for lesser players and with a break on his salary due to the Phillies' fire sale state, he wound up being their guy because despite the team's high payroll following the acquisition of Scherzer, ownership had placed a 'but not one penny higher' restriction on things. Anyway, it's long but it's a good look into a season in which sky high expectations dry up into a barely .500 record. Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 GK&R were talking this series up during last night's broadcast (I watched the replay) and I went out and read them. Fascinating stuff.

  23. I am Mrs. Met's OB/GYN.
