Ahem
I’m not a Rays fan. I mean, I’m rooting for the Rays, but they’re not the Mariners. If these playoffs have shown me anything, it’s the true nature of bandwagon emotion. Bandwagon success isn’t nearly as fulfilling. I watched them beat Chicago, then I watched them win three games against Boston, and it made me happy, but it didn’t make me ecstatic. I didn’t go to bed thinking about it. I didn’t wake up laughing. It was more like, “hey, neat, this is working out.” It’s been pleasant, and nothing more.

Also, it’s good to know that the only 2 positions where defense matters are catcher and shortstop.

Speaking of, I ran into a guy wearing the same cap as me today.

He told me he’d seen someone in New Orleans wearing a Mariners cap, and tried to talk to him, and the guy was just wearing the hat out of fashion. The fan says dude, pick a team that didn’t lose 101 games.

I didn't wear mine because I was too busy stuffing my face with beignets and muffalettas

Frank was on Letterman the other day

It should have been a fumble returned for a touchdown, too, but the refs blew the whistle.

You don't get forward progress if the refs blow the whistle, which they did.

It should have been a touchdown. The zebras will never be call a fair game again after SBXL.
