The Czech Republic

That's exactly my point.

Oh, and what did Alan Trammell do to get fired? I thought he was respected in Detroit. I mean, they were only minutely worse than the Cubs, and we're giving our skipper a fuckin' extension. It'd be funny if like every team fires its manager to try and get Joe Girardi. He's the Carlos Beltran of managers.

Shhh better be careful Dogbert, that might be construed as possibly saying something positive about the Astros. Can't have that around here. Gotta go on about how bad their offense is, how much of a sellout half their pitching staff is, and how they dare celebrate because they make the playoffs. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You forgot that Craig Biggio leans into pitches and that the fanbase is annoying

We'll only hear that on Sportscenter 1 million times

It was more of a uhhhhgh

Dunkaroos, Dunkaroos, you can get as much frosting as you choose Koala Yummies were just bear-shaped cookies with chocolate inside.

...torn between two lovers...

Is this the fucking Weekend Of Self-Quotation or what? Jesus tapdancing Christ. Photo-enhanced Radiohead in the sig, unknown in the av, he was walking with Hilary Duff and making a dumb face so I cropped it

...in bed

If they merged the two shows into Girls' Skin Club, they would've had a hit on their hands

We should do the "in bed" treatment to Mik's Eli posts, like sophomores in high school do to fortune cookies

Will Brandon Arroyo be starting or relieving? hehehe

Well we know it won't be anything Jason Bateman is doing, no no Though considering the track record of Fox postseason promoverkill, which makes Glass Joe from Mike Tyson's Punch-Out go "damn," that's probably for the best.

Eli's wild about Mik Miguel Cabrera sulks in the background

Don't remind me of 2003 please

So yeah go Angels-White Sox

The ratings for Angels-White Sox will make Fox execs go "hey, Arrested Development is doin' pretty good!"

Well that's the thing. I appreciate good baseball and all, but man, all three of the North Siders' rivals are in this thing with good shots to win it all.

Ohhhh you mean the one that combines retro aesthetics with modern amenities. Got it

Yeah look! There's a brick wall in left, and the outfield walls are jaggedy! Wait, which park?

I'll admit that a part of me was clamoring for a return of Phil "aw dang, gimme muh lineup card back" Garner to the postseason.

Double-choke theory says Angels-White Sox, Padres-Braves From there, no outcome is desirable, so double-choke theory can't be applied

I want Braves and Red Sox, m'self. I like the Red Sox, though I got to the "enough is enough" point, I'll admit, after Sawxamania ran wild. And I respect the Braves for pulling it off year after year with the best organization in sports from top to bottom. Nobody does it better. I like Smoltz, Hudson, the Joneses, and Francoeur well enough; I wish them the best. But yeah I cannot stomach Cardinals-White Sox, or Astros-White Sox. Like Chong said, at least the Cards run a tight ship and earn their spot. The Astros are just annoying as fuck and should go away, with their "CHEER RIGHT NOW!" signs, their 300-foot left field fence, that stupid choo-choo train, their bajillion uniform variations, amazin' leanin'-in Craig Biggio, Fat Rodge, pyro-palooza, and everything else that is reprehensible about the Astros. That's not even taking into account the extra chunk of suck that comes from having Texans as fans. Oh yes. I went there.

I JUST SAID IT WAS HASTILY ASSEMBLED Yeah I still don't know which teams are in which leagues, obviously. Padres are in the Western Conference, right?

Can a mod delete my Angels choices? It's the next best thing to deleting the Angels.
