Who's In First

Amazing how baseball makes your prognosticating head spin.

One day you're thinking Boston repeat, that no one can touch Papelbon.

Then you're considering the Cubs on the 100th anniversary of their last trophy.

Then here comes Philly and that megainfield.

Now we're back to the Angels, fresh off two beltings of PA pitching. We can thank their patience for this status. While some shook over Vlad's start, Lackey's disappearance, the middle infield's injuries, Team Scioscia kept forging. And winning.

I still think the Phils will win it all, but the Halos sure are trumping them.

Good luck with the rest of your season

it’d be nice if you guys would knock out the Cubbies in the NLCS so that we don’t have to feel like baby-seal clubbers in the Series.

Don't worry about the cubbies

Until you see goats sitting in the stands. That is the only thing that will lift the curse.

I think they tried that already.

I’m pretty sure they’ve had a “Bring a Goat” day at Wrigley at some point.

Baby Seal Clubber

Nice.

Seattle I would like to thank you for sucking. It allows me to get back to my roots: Hating Fremont.

I'm not so sure it worked

“Sam Sianis, nephew of Billy Sianis, has been brought out on the field with a goat multiple times in attempts to break the curse: on Opening Day in 1984 and 1989 (the Cubs won the division both years), in 1994 to stop a home losing streak, and in 1998 for the wild card play-in game (which the Cubs won)

According to three interviews with Sam Sianis……… the Curse of the famed Billy Goat can only be dispelled by the Chicago Cubs organization by showing a true sincere fondness for goats, allowing them into Wrigley Field because they genuinely wanted to; not simply for publicity reasons.”
