on the alcs and that team that kinda didn't make the alcs

Oh, Barry. You were shutting it all down at the beginning, dude, but as soon as I change over to Veronica Mars (for hell nor high water nor playoff games not involving the Sox shall keep me from Jason Dohring), you implode? What's up with that?

Don't get me wrong. I still want Theo to sign you to a hefty-but-within-reason contract this offseason, despite the fact that Omar Minaya's going to be all over you like Mark Foley on a sexually confused MySpacer. My pitching staff's in desperate need of durability, and I'll take you and your 34 starts a year over this unproven Daisuke kid any day of the week. But sometimes? I worry.

So Steinbrenner's keeping Torre -- smart move on the Yankees' part, unfortunately enough for Sox fans. His Georgeness needs to change his Depends before he changes managers. Torre can only work with what he's given, and when there are termites in the wood, the whole house falls down.* Maybe Cashman should have spent that Johnny Damon money on Carlos Beltran instead -- the past year's figures aside, Beltran'll be a whole hell of a lot more useful over the next four years than Damon will. (Not that I'm particularly keen on the Mets, lest y'all get the wrong idea. Pujols smash!)

5-1 final? Oh, boys. Try to do better tomorrow -- I'm skipping poker for you.

* -- apparently, I was a carpenter in a past life; please, PLEASE tell me I used to be Jesus, man! That would rock hardcore

You made Barry Zito lose. Shame on you.

I am amazed at how easy it was for me to go from loving the Tigers to kind of hating them a little bit. I mean, Brandon Inge, you look like you're 12, you have no business hitting home runs off of Barry Zito. And I suddenly remembered that Pudge Rodriguez almost definitely used steroids at some point (and also suddenly started to care about that). LOL self, LOL.

But it's cool, there's still a lot more ball to be played and I expected the series to go at least 6 or 7. If they play to their actual ability, they can still pull off four wins. :)
