Well, what a boffo bangout day we had here at MLJ. Lot’s of things were written and importantly read so that’s nice. Truthfully, I am exhausted and sad and I hurt and I can’t grasp the loss of the baseball season. At least the Mets season. But alas, unlike my brethren in Boston, I am also a baseball fan not just a fan of my team. So in a sick twisted way I am looking forward to the playoffs. I am probably going to be Hef-like the next 3 weeks, picking teams on a whim and liking different things because I enjoy winners but I do know I will not be rooting for the Phillies or Red Sox. I hate them both so I can’t even try. I have no animosity towards the Brewers. I love the story, unfortunately I had to lose my team to make it happen. I may want to see the Cubs do some damage but the thought of Sportsgal IMing me drunk and obnoxious sours me on that a bit. I would enjoy the Mikeychx conversation with himself if it does happen. I do have a little love for the Dodgers because I love Manny. I admit it. He may be a bad guy or just supremely quirky. But I love that talent. I truly do. And I hate the Red Sox. The Angels are good but boring and I am willing to see them go down so K-Rod can rest this offseason so he is fresh for the Mets in 2009. I love the Rays story. Truly great. Kazmir is on that team. I love that guy. Fuck Jim Duquette. And of course, my boy Cliff Floyd is leading the children to glory. So good stuff. There are two more teams left for one spot. I want the White Sox to win this evening. First off, the rain has moved this back to start at 5:10 US Standard time. That means more people will watch. It’s good for baseball. Secondly, if the White Sox win there is a playoff game tomorrow with the Twins. That means Tampa Bo will yell at Fetch and Fetch will spend an entire day hoping not to vomit on the chick with the big hooters in his statistics class. Plus it gives us all something to watch tomorrow. Good times. So here is what is on tap tonight:

Tigers/White Sox -Gavin Floyd and Freddy Garcia. I heard from a guy who knows things that Floyd was traded to the Sox for Garcia a few years ago. The irony of this whole situation is just so…well not ironic I guess. I think it is more a coincidence. Anywho, I am curious to see how the Tigers play. I think they are pissed off and don’t want to be dead last, just tied for it so they will play hard. I also think they hate the White Sox. If the Sox win they play tomorrow against the Twins in Chicago. They lose they go home. I am sure Ozzie Guillen will be subdued either way.

Ravens/Steelers – After we are done with baseball we will have a good MNF game. I think Big Ben is going to miss 4-6 weeks after it’s done as the Ravens D will tear that awful Steelers O-Line to shreds. Joe Flacco will be happy to be there. Rashard Mendenhall…not so much.
