Indeed. Free Baseball in Florida.

Phillies leave the bases loaded and the score remains 3-3 going into the bottom of the 9th.

Conine singles in Victorino. Tie game! Go Phillies!

Two on with one out for Conine after the Fish walk Howard.

I should add that a Marlins win brings the Mets magic number to 5, but you already knew that.

A Marlins win brings them a .500 record and 2 games back in the WC behind San Diego (1 behind the Phillies). Marlins go down 1-2-3 in the 8th. Phillies up for one last gasp.

Borowski strikes out two batters to preserve the lead for the Fish.

Meanwhile the Braves attempt to stave off elimination (for now) with a 5-3 lead over the Cubs in the 6th.

Marlins up 3-2 over the Phillies in the bottom of the eighth. Phillies have a runner on third with one out and Randall Simon at the plate.

Is that Michael Kay on the mike for the Gashouse Gorrillas?

I think the Onion used to be funnier than it is now, they seem to have grown too big for their britches. The headlines and news in brief bits are generally funnier than full-length articles (where they tend to beat the joke to death).

Is it their "Rag on A-Rod" issue or what?

There are a lot of variables. The Mets have a solid core with Wright, Reyes and Beltran but the starting pitching is susect due to age and injury. The younger pitchers haven't proven themselves yet so I guess the future lies with them. If they turn out mediocre the Mets may find themselves out of the playoffs again next season. If they're good I think we may have a good run. I expect the Mets will be competitive or attempt to be competitive for the forseeable future.

="Yancy Street Gang"]Geeky? That guy would reach down your throat, pull your heart out, and show it to you before you die. I'm sure he appreciates your recognition of his special powers. Now hail him damnit!

What did I say? We've got to watch out for those Nationals or Orioles snagging Norfolk.

="Yancy Street Gang"]Don't expect hail for Ron Hodges. There's just no love for geeky English accounting professors.

]Willets, where DID you dig this up? Are you kidding, I have it posted on my wall? Seriously though, not everything is lost on the EZBoard Cranepool. Amusingly enough you had to calm down Vic about the red hair in that thread too.

Too late. We already have pictures of your spouse. Unless you also have a wife...
