Cut it out guys, you're scaring me!!!
WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON? I just had to turn off the game. I couldn't stand to watch any longer (or merely listen, thanks to Fox or Turner South or whoever you people are, and your stupid video problems). As if getting shafted out of the final few games on SNY wasn't bad enough - you guys are not only stinking up the field, but you are violating the Prime Directive: BRAVES MUST NOT MERELY BE BEATEN BUT MUST BE DESTROYED! What is wrong? Y'all are leaving men on base, hitting into dps, and generally playing like you didn't just completely dominate the National League and OWN the best record in baseball for most of the season! (oh, shut up, Detroit).
Over on the YES network, which comes in just fine on my Ohio television, the Yankees are pounding the Orioles into a pulp. They have this thing called Momentum. And also, Guys Who Can Consistenly Hit Except A-Rod. It's like, the opposite of what St. Louis has? Yeah, that. The opposite of choke. The opposite of "hey, we just won the division, so let's sit on our asses and see how many games we can lose" and "hey, who needs 100 wins anyway? 93 is JUST FINE." Were you guys just feeling bad for all the poor slobs like me, who were too damned happy all season, and felt kind of lost because we had nothing to bitch about? Well, stop it!
Look, it's obvious before the tears on Petey's face even dry tonight that we are not going to have that pre-AllStar break ace with us this postseason. But we can't go moping around like Dr. Evil took our Mojo, and we're done for. First off, Steinbrenner had nothing to do with Pedro's injuries. Secondly, we have other pitchers, other good pitchers, and we have to believe that they can get us through the playoffs and into the World Series. You guys are playing like you think it's already over. It ain't over, goddammit. Not yet.
Now, I'm off to the Keith Hernandez shrine to anoint myself with glove oil and chant everything is going to be just fine ... everything is going to be just fine ... everything is going to be just fine...
