Are you almost ready for some boring World Series action?!?!?

Well, if you're not, you better get ready. The Phils finished off the supposedly invincible Dodgers last night and are waiting for the Yanks/Angels winner to step forward so then they can begin what will surely be a boring ass World Series. Yes the chance of Pedro possibly throwing against NY again is worth watching a few pitches of, but this is an oft-injured, 5 year older Pedro who has been reduced to the back of the rotation and from the looks of it Don Zimmer is nowhere to be found on the Yankee bench so the whole blood bath thing is thrown out the window.

If you're the Dodgers, you have to be kicking yourself over the Manny contract right now. He has a $20mil PLAYER option next year which means he can go back to the DR or Miami or where ever he spends his off-season, relax, shoot up a few female hormones and then just silly-ly stroll back into LA next year and put Torre one step closer to a heart attack while collecting a pretty sweet check.

I'm definitely not going to rally the LAA troops (they have a Monkey for that who is much more capable than I) but Lackey needs to step up and see if the Angels can't pull some '04 magic out of their Monkey asses and at least send this thing back to NY to see if A-rod and Co. can flop in front of the home town crowd.

The world continues to turn

I thought the world would just come to a halt if the Sox lost 3 in a row to the Royals. Kind of like how Superman could run so fast he could run around the world the opposite way of its natural rotation and all of a sudden time would freeze or go in reverse. Luckily the Sox have Josh Beckett to keep such things from happening, or at least to shut down the Royals for a few innings. Last night was what the other 2 nights should have been and tonight should be more of the same. It's the F*cking Roayls and it's late September. It's almost like the schedule makers got together and said "Alright, we know the Yanks will come back in the second half like they always do, so let's set the Sox up with 7 in a row against Baltimore and KC so they can have a showdown in NY. Oh, and just to make sure it all happens right, let's throw the Yanks out to LAA so they at least don't win the series and spoil everything." Oh curse you schedule makers and your lack of proper future seeing.

Buchs tonight. Lock up your laptops.

Also, from the music vault. If you haven't done so, check out Green Day's new CD and more specifically the B-sides with their cover of "Like a Rolling Stone". Gotta love Ipods when they shuffle just right in the morning.
