I'll see your Cubbies, and raise you a Fight'n Phillies!

Congrats on the win and good luck in the playoffs!

Sorry Sdiver, but the only way the Cubs go to the World Series is through Colorado you traitorous scoundrel!

Great game lst night. Tribe is looking good. Carmona pitching 9 innings was incredible, and striking out ARod with a man on 2nd was outstanding!

GO TRIBE!

Who smuggled the insects in ?

Back to the better half of the AL...I am happy the fans are paying attention in Boston. Not sure what sort of momentum swing would have occured if the foul ball was caught by the Angel's catcher.

2-0 heading to the Left coast...

You mean, they have to buy tickets now, like everyone else.

Oh well, we've said it before, and I'll say it again.....

Interesting number tossed out on ESPN Radio this A.M.

Since the last Yankees World Series victory, G. Steinbrenner has paid out over 1.1 Billion in salaries.....with no championship to show for it.

October shake up in the Bronx?

Boy if THAT's not the truth.
The whole town is now jumping on the "Rockies Bandwagon". Tickets for the NLCS games were sold out in in less than 12 hours, and people yesterday were line for WS tickets, before they were told to go home.

Hell, even Broadway plays got in on the act. I went to see SPAMALOT Sunday night, and there was a banner up in the "Band" area (Orchestra) saying, "GO ROCKIES", and towards the end of the show, the cast brings a member of the audience up on stage (I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen it), and they mention the Rockies, and the whole place went nvts.

Well, at least we have a sports team to cheer for, (aside from the AVS), seeing that the Broncos are, shall we say, Sucking BIG time.

Sooooo.....GO ROCKIES !!!!!

Thank God for that. These Damn Californians, I swear, I'm gonna start running them off the roads, pretty soon. They're almost as bad as those Damn TEXICANS.



BTW....SPAMALOT was a riot. If you have a chance and are a Monty Python fan, even if you aren't, you'll still enjoy it, go see it.

I hate being a Cubs Fan

Just like any other year for the last 101 years all Cubs fans end the season saying "wait 'til next year".
