just checking. Behind still means “losing”, right?

4 games behind.

I said The Dodgers would be 4 games behind. You talk about my boys like they’re, oh I dunno, “Playing AAA ball.”

oh- you don’t have to convince me. I’m all for supporting your love for whomever you choose. Dodgers, Angels, men, whatever.

Sorry, Chad, I missed that … did you say 4 games ahead or behind the Angels?

Corey, the reason the Angels win is because they play NL style baseball, old school scrapper ball. They always run 1st to 3rd, they bunt, they turn double plays, and they have dominant pitching. That’s not Yankees style juice ball, that’s yard ball. And that’s why I love them.

Frankly- I could care less either way about the angels, dodgers, or the Las Vegas Zephyrs. But Chad has a point here. The AL breaks the first rule of baseball which states that “baseball is game played by 9 players on each team”. My college roommate calls the AL “The Communist League”. He calls me names, too, but that’s just because I treated my then girlfriend poorly before he married her. wait- where am I?

OK, I just have to say one more thing…

After all this talk… I checked the standings. If the Dodgers were in the AL west (which would bring the mighty AL west all the way up to five teams) they would be 4 games behind the Angels.

4 games.

Oh, also, designated hitters are lame.

Good times for Angel fans!

…. does not play for the Dodgers. He is the master, but how depressing has it got to be to have the greatest in the game announce one self-destructive season after the next?

Can’t she just pay them to watch her show more? Maybe I’m not understanding how it works.

I just read a follow up article where she announced that she’s cured cancer and invited Africa to have Thanksgiving dinner at her Oprahland compound. That’ll probably bring the red-staters back. If not, she’ll probably just kill them from space with her Oprahlicious Death Ray.

I just read an article (in the actual newspaper, not O Magazine) that her ratings have declined since she endorsed Barack. I guess she alienated all those red-staters and now they don’t want to know about her Favorite Things for Summer.
