Congrats to my old teammate Garrett Atkins and the rest of the Rox on their sweep of the D-Backs and the continuation of their ludicrously well-timed hot streak. 21-1 and counting.
(NOTE: No idea who that guy in the picture above is, but I like to think it’s Wally Weekes.)
Can someone please win this game, so I can watch the Angels instead of this bug-filled Cleveland-New York game?
Damn you Bud Selig, and your stupid ALDS deal with one channel-having TBS instead of the Bristol monolith.

Even if you’re a Dodger hater, you gotta love Tommy Lasorda. Check out Tommy’s Tommy’s thoughts on the Phillie Phanatic.
I hate the Phillie Phanatic.
In fact, I am not very happy about mascots in general. I think they take away from the game on the field.
One of the worst incidents was perpetrated by the [...]
