maybe timlin just thought the offense wouldn't read the paper
So hey, it turns out Papelbon is still around, but it didn't quite matter. I think the most important stat I heard all week was at the end of Sunday's AGONIZING game: the bullpen had given up 24 runs in the first 4 games of the series. It kind of all becomes white noise after that.Nonetheless, a look at the last three days. In reverse chronological order so that the pain looks smaller as it recedes into the distance.

I'm trying to be zen about it, you know.
Re: the best sequel ever, the part where pus comes out of Jason Giambi's eyes, but no one notices at first because they assume it's just the excessive sweat/grease as per? BEST PART.

re: the best sequel ever, my favorite part is the part where a.rod has an opportunity to take out all the snakes in the coach section of the plane but then grounds into a double death-by-snake. good times.

oooh, that is an EXCELLENT part. It really was kind of tragic the way Jeter thought he had managed to defeat the snakes in the cockpit and then got attacked mid-hop/fist pump.

When David Wells might be your favorite person on the planet? Because I'm worried.
So, I'm thinking what might be a good idea is Snakes on a Bullpen.

snakes on a bullpen: whoever wins, we lose.

Sunday:
Said the manager: "I thought Papelbon pitched his heart out."
So at least Tito hasn't lost ALL ability to accurately assess a situation. From here.

Nice. I wondered when that DMB lyric would come into play...
We almost couldn't take the pain, but really, once you start a gimmick like that, you've got to keep it going.
I love the podcasts available on this site.
