If it meant taking an out away from my team, I'm getting as far from that ball as I can. Most thinking fans would.

Fan.

He didn't even CATCH the fucking thing. I don't know what happened to it.

but he wasn't Heck, even if he was...

I think he just wants that kid to make it through the week alive.

There is only one thing I can possibly compare this to...Game 4 of the 1993 World Series, when the Blue Jays put 5 on Mitch Williams in the top of the 8th to win 15-14. Now I know how Phillie fans must have felt. This is a Stomach Punch game all the way.

Goodnight. See you tomorrow.

It's not over. It's not over. It's not over. It's not...oh, who the hell am I kidding? This thing's OVER.

Well, there's always Kerry tomorrow...

Yeah. 2002 World Series, Game 6.

If the Marlins win this, expect there to be a lot of billy goat stories in the Tribune and the Sun-Times tomorrow.

Oh FUCK.

Oh my God. You have got to be kidding me. This isn't happening.

RUN SCORES!!! 3-0 CUBS!

Montreal.

Free market theories don't completely apply to baseball, because, unlike a real world economic model, if their competition goes out of business, so do the Yankees. The Yankees need opponents to remain in business, and it's in their own best interest, as well as that of the other teams and the league in general, to not become so far above the rest of the league that other teams become non-viable due to lack of fan interest. That's where revenue-sharing comes in. Even as recently as twenty years ago, I would agree with you whole-heartedly. Now, when the Yankees have virtually unlimited resources and can pluck All-Stars from other teams' rosters at will, I can't agree. The only thing that that can bring about the downfall of the Yankees now is ineptitude in the general manager's office, and that's not going to happen as long as Cashman's there.

You act as if every other owner is Carl Pohlad. In the end, it's a business, and you have to run it as such. Pohlad is an extreme case, but you have to make the bottom line look good at some point, or people will start asking questions. Here's a news flash...THE YANKEES TURN A PROFIT. Yes, they can afford to spend between $150 and $200 million on salaries, and still turn a pretty decent profit. Why? Because they take in more money from TV rights than the bottom ten teams combined. Their cable contract pays for their players, and the rest is just gravy. Name one other team that has the ability to do this. This is WRONG. There needs to be real revenue sharing in baseball, and soon, or the current situation will just get worse.

EXCUSE Steinbrener for GIVING A fuck about winning, EVERY god damn owner in the MLB has the resources...Carl Polhad for Minny, AOL for Atlanta... Don't blame The Yankees for giving a FUCK about winning, when all the other owners just want fucking profit. No, they don't. Not when the Yankees pull in $150 million in cable revenue, while the Twins get just this side of jack shit. That's what's killing the sport.

I dunno I mean you do have a nice ass... You really need to preface that with "I don't wanna sound like a queer or nothin'..." for full effect.

Fuck Joe Buck. That catch was about as sensational as my ass.

Well, this may actually be better than the Apocalyptic Series. At least I know who to cheer for. Of course, the Cubs probably won't WIN, but still...

Hell, let Wakefield pitch 6 AND 7. It's not like he couldn't, and it almost worked for the Pirates 10 years ago.

Uh-huh. And I'll make sure to remember that last line the next time you accidentally misinterpret something.

And then, of course, there's "it's" versus "its"...something which, apparently, even writers of wrestling books can't seem to grasp.

Good luck with that. Looking at the slate, I may just flip a coin this week.
