Better than Cutler

Better than Cutler

It was a letdown day of sports for yours truly, as all of the teams that I wished to come out in victory cam down with losses.

Angels 5, Yankees 4 (11): I had to take myself to a healing place last night (read: Skinemax), due to the fact that Joe Girardi’s multiple unnecessary bullpen moves had given me many headaches and heart attacks. Why did we take out Joba after 2 batters? Why did he take away the DH knowing Mariano would hit 3rd the next inning? Why did he take our David Robertson when he was dealing sicknastytastic stuff? This bullshit bullpen shuffle had luckily been working throughout the playoffs, but Joe doesn’t seem to understand that the hits are coming when you need them to every time.

Not that only the Yankees are responsible for this loss. The Angels come through when it counted, showing all of the grittiness and scrappitude of a 97 win team. Hopefully this is a wakeup call for Joe to just let the players play. Bullpen roulette is fine in the regular season, but it’s time to realize that these are the playoffs.

Broncos 34, Chargers 23: This is it, folks. I hereby give Denver the Clown Real Deal Seal of Approval. Even though most of their wins were seemingly of the fraudtastic variety, it doesn’t change the fact that they are now 6-0, and as the old adage goes, you have what your record says you has. Or something. The funny thing is, Josh McDaniels should be appointed a Cabinet or possibly a diplomatic position, 1) for the way he turned the Broncos franchise from a laughingstock to sorta respectable, and 2) the way he fleeced the Bears in the trade of Jay Cutler. It’s clear that Cutler was just holding down the Broncos, and all they needed was a Kyle Orton-type to come to the rescue. In summation: Cutler is a fraud, and I’m sorry that his presence gave false hope to Bears fans everywhere.

Phillies 5, Dodgers 4: Jimmy Rollins pulled out the clutchiest of hits, a 2 out, 2 run double in the bottom of the ninth off Jonathon Broxton. It was pretty sweet, and all of the wife beaters and fugly chicks at Citizens Bank seemed pretty happy about it. That’s all I saw because I was watching the football game and then I went to take a dump afterward. But seriously, that might be the most unattractive fanbase in sports, next to Spurs fans.
