So I still have hardly watched any of the World Series… there is no point, now. The White Sox are rolling, 3 games to none, on the power of end of game heroics and pitchers who are obviously using some performance-enhancing white stuff to get by the Houston Assholes.

Meanwhile, the NL Central wild card entry complains about having to keep the roof open. I know it’s cold, but that’s no excuse to blame your cold bats on the weather, Manager Scrap Iron Garner.

To wit: Roger Clemens has been smoking everyone in the National League like venison jerky. And his team? 3.76 runs per game all year. It’s amazing that they won so many games. How is Clemens going to have a 1.76 ERA and only win 13 games? And lose 8? Good lord, come on - that’s almost impossible with major league hitters.

I'll give the team some credit. At least the Astros are backed by great music.

Conclusion: There are some minor league hitters on the Astros. And this series is very over. Thanks for playing. Yaaaawn. I’m prepping my College basketball and Pro Basketball previews. And buying my Halloween costume. And working on my NaNoWriMo story.

  • mjunior bleeds UMass maroon and thinks Red Sox are an appropriate accessory for anything. Having spent some time in Trampa, FL, he also believes in pirates. mjunior knows that the Duke basketball team is the Yankees of college basketball. His nightmares are often punctuated with JJ Redick's poetry. Read his regular blog, The Junior Page.

  • Pico was born a little colored boy in an orange and blue Mets manger. He also watched the Rams when they came to St Louis (after he arrived) and stunk, so he feels he has a right to follow them as they lose every single game. Seeing Jets coach Herm Edwards walking in the Bellagio in Vegas last year might be one of the best moments of his life. He is following the St John's Red Storm from lovely Chicago and blogs as often as he can, even though he can't see the games on tv... yet.

  • Greg believes everyone looks good in burnt orange. During his time at Texas, he learned about the wonders of every sport that UT plays. (Including badminton?) Though he detests any and all rivals, he has been known to lay with an Aggie or two. He has also seen the Spurs play in all three of their home stadia. His ramblings can be found at his blog, The First Day of the Rest of My Life .

  • Neverecho is the brilliance that allows us all to post. She is responsible for the design and many of the tweaks. Though a Duke graduate and fan, she is still a good person and enjoys a good story about basketball. She secretly thinks JJ Redick's poetry is dreamy.
