Tigers have been all over the place. At least there’s still a chance for Ordonez to pull off a batting title.

[Scarpetta]

Aren’t you forgetting the Phillies?

Try being a SF Giants fan! ! LOL

[biff]

No, no, no!!! This is the “curse of the Babe” for the idiots in NY tearing down his house.

It won't happen again -- disaster has already been averted...

Funny stuff.

The day New Yorkers were foolish enough to elect her is when the CURSE kicked in. There would not have been a curse if she had lost the Senate race.

You really need to get a life.

[doug from upland]

I’m pretty sure I have a life, but thanks for the advice.

I’m pretty sure I have a life, but thanks for the advice.

Sometimes I wonder what you all would do without Clinton.

[doug from upland]

Perhaps start another business or watch television.

1938 would have been a good year for Hillary. The Cubbies are moving up.

Here's a story about Obama's comments, Sox-fan Obama jokes that Cubs fans aren't serious

[Scarpetta]

Sorry. I was drunk (albeit at 9 a.m. but don’t judge me!)

BOSTON DEFEATS CLE. 5-4 to go to the postseason again.

Yankees? NO POSTSEASON FOR YOU!

Red Sox to retire Pesky’s number...?

http://bostonherald.com/sports/baseball/red_sox/view/2008_09_23_Signs_point_to_Red_Sox_retiring_Johnny_Pesky_s_number/srvc=home&position=4

According to a team source, meetings were held last night and again this morning to address how and when a player’s number should be retired. The team plans to hold a press conference today or tomorrow to announce the change in policy, with all signs pointing to the dramatic news that Pesky’s uniform No. 6 will be retired before the end of the regular season.

The timing is perfect: Given that Pesky’s 89th birthday is Saturday, it’s likely the ceremony will take place before the Sox’ nationally televised game against the New York Yankees.
