Around SBN: Baby Boilers no more: Michigan State-Purdue Preview

While Philadelphia players admitted the 11-month championship-winless streak has been difficult for them personally, most agreed that it's the fans who've suffered most, enduring more than 500,000 minutes without a World Series victory.

"Our fans are incredible," said left fielder Raul Ibanez, who was brought to the Phillies during the offseason in the hopes that he could help Philadelphia finally get back on the winning track. "If I were them, I would have given up on us weeks ago, after we lost our 69th game and failed to win the National League East by more than 10 [games]. But they stuck with us."

Funny

But it might have been more appropriate ten years ago—about Yankee fans. I mean, the Phillies have two World Series titles in 125 years and a .471 all-time winning percentage, which is the worst of any team not named the Rays. They’ve been really bad for a really long time, no one else has lost 10,000 games like they have.

Oh, the Onion knows how to write articles about the Yankees.

Make no mistake about it.

The best bit is the idea of A-Rod spurning the Yankees.

By noon, Yankees GM Brian Cashman had signed the entire National League and most of the American League to multi-year contracts. Some 10 hours later, the final opposing player, Texas Rangers shortstop Alex Rodriguez, had been acquired by the Yankees, who bought out the remainder of his $252 million contract for $300 million.

Rest in piece Nick, Courtney, and Henry. To the 2009 Angels: I love you all. Thanks for a ride every bit as enjoyable and entertaining as 2002.

"...who bought out the remainder of his $252 million contract for $300 million."

That made me spit out my soda!!!

I wonder what John Lackey must think about how long Sosh left Juan Rivera in the playoff lineup?

Too funny to click buttons correctly.

Clasic line
“Man, whatever happened to Jamie Moyer?” Oliver added. “He’s got to be dead by now.”

Nick would be proud.

I laughed at the article from a week ago

When it reported that Joba Chamberlan was allowed to stay up past his bed time to watch the whole ALCS game.
