In the midst of a pennant race, it is perfectly fair to ask

Blog? What blog?

Seriously. Who are you people, and what are you doing on my couch, eating my bagel chips?

    Huh. Did you guys hear something?

  2. A fine scotch says:

    Who is this Jeff person? And why does he keep posting at Brainwash?

  3. Tman says:

    These bagel ships are stale anyways. I’m gonna look under this couch and see if I find something entertaining.

    Does anyone in the National League actually feel like winning their respective divisions by the way? Aside from Jeff’s Beloved Roxsters of course?

    What, are they gonna like forfeit the division to see who plays in the big dance?

  4. Bob R says:

    First time in 15 years that I’ve been able to calculate the Phillies magic number without having the whole exercise be a part of a sick joke.

  5. Drumwaster says:

    How can you be talking about baseball when both Heroes and The Unit are on TV?

    What are you, some kind of heathen?

    Hell, throw in a few Law & Order reruns and you’ve got an entire week’s worth of quality TV…

  6. The Ouroboros says:

    GO MARINERS!!!

    … and screw you A-Rod.. No, I will not just get over it!

  7. psychologizer says:

    It’s forgivable for a Colorado guy to be interested in the “race” now, because it’s exciting to win in (however much your rivals also choke out), but Jesus — these teams are all fucking terrible. Every game has to have a a winner, but can anyone fucking play baseball? BAH!

    It’s only me, I know. Everyone else has someone to root for or against. I don’t give a rat’s. I just watch games. For me, this season totally sucks. And whoever wins the Series this year is the worst team that ever did.

    Unless the Rockies sweep out. That would be impressive!

  8. psychologizer says:

    (The box swallowed my “lie” tags on that last bit.)

  9. jkrank says:

    As a Padres fan, i can’t wait for the Rockies/Diamondbacks series…someone has to lose.

    Hopefully Colorado will break the snakes’ spirit, like they apparently did with the Dodgers.

  10. Dan Collins says:

    RACE-ISTS!

  11. Big Bang (Pumping you up) says:

    – Dan – that was just bad…. you should definately do some pennents……

    “Who are you people, and what are you doing on my couch, eating my bagel chips?”

    I think the real question is, why haven’t you provided a nice spread for these bagle chips? Some curried Chicken salad or smoked salmon would be nice. And what would be wrong with a nice cold India Pale Ale to go with that? You’re sure not much of a host….and this couch is filthy.

  13. dicentra says:

    You want <lie> tags? I got your </lie> tags right here!

    I AM TEH HAXOR!!!111!1!11

  14. Steve says:

    I haven’t been by for a few months but, as a Giants fan, I felt I had to drop by and congratulate the Rox for some scintillating baseball. Since my guys were eliminated in, like, April, I don’t really care, but the Rox deserve props for a really gutty stretch run. If they represent the NL in the WS, no problem with me.

  15. shockcorridor says:

    GO PHILLIES!

    Ditto. I have a chauvinistic preference for western teams. I even rooted for the Diamondbacks in the 2001 World Series — which may be the real reason I’m not a presidential contender.

    Jesus H. Christ

    We’re out of beer, this crappy TV ain’t HD and you’re obsessing on ur laptop spewing about some twat, or was that GWOT. Get serious, willya? THIS IS PLAYOFF TIME!!

    That’s it.

    Both you guys are flagged.

  19. N. O'Brain says:

    Oh…..

    Phillies tied for first place……

    Can you believe it?

  20. Partyray says:

    Being a Diamondback’s fan during the 2001 World Series sucked. I mean talk about conflicted. It felt like if we won, we would be spitting in the eye of every New Yorker. It was a great series though….

  21. McGehee says:

    It was a great series though….

    Best. Game 7. Ever.

  22. kyle says:

    Gad, but I dream of a Rockies-Indians World Series. Screw BOTH the coasts…FEAR MIDDLE AMERICA(n baseball teams)!!1!!!111!

    I’m just hoping my Twins can pee in Boston’s Wheaties this week.

  23. kyle says:

    “Best. Game 7. Ever.”

    Bzzzzzzt! Try again.
    Game 7, 1991, Twins vs Bravos.
    The bestest.

  24. McGehee says:

    The Braves!? I scoff. One time they get to the big show and actually win it — and ever since then, whenever they get close, they suddenly need the Heimlich maneuver.

  25. Obstreperous Infidel says:

    As an Indians fan, I appreciate the sentiment, Kyle. I certainly didn’t see this coming for the Tribe. I just hope they hold on to that top record in baseball. They’ve been resting people, and while that is understood, they’re giving away games. Home field is VERY important for this team.

  26. HPennypacker says:

    Wow, I’m generally an opinionated guy and all, but having watched both the 1991 game and the 2001 game, I can’t say which one was better. I mean how many clutch double plays were turned in ’91? Morris went 10 scoreless! Was anyone as cool as Kirby Puckett (on the baseball field)?

    Then again, Tony Womack BEAT Mariano Rivera. Are you kidding me? That little bastard turned on a cutter and hit a double? Why was the infield in? How did Soriano hit a ball off his shoe top, let alone for a scalding line-drive Home Run? How many innings can Randy Johnson pitch in a series? There was a rule in Little League?

    Great games. I can swayed by partisans on either side

  27. Big Bang (Pumping you up) says:

    “Both you guys are flagged.”

    TWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPP…

    – 15 yards for blocking the punner….

  28. Major John says:

    Jeff, I think I spilled some spinach dip on your Rockies pennant, over here by the remote. Sorry ’bout that.

    So. What you’re saying is the Cubs finally have a chance. Not that they will. I have every confidence that they will once again snatch defeat out of the grasp of victory.Bill Murrey notwithstanding.

  30. MensRea says:

    Come on, Jeff. Baseball season ended once training camp opened.

  31. Oclarki says:

    Now I finally realize what the Monforts have been cheating the fans of Denver out of for the past dozen years.

  32. Radish says:

    The Cubs still won’t let goats into Wrigley.

    I plan on watching Ryan Braun another week.

  33. commander0 says:

    Alright alright alright, fuck you, I was wrong about the Rockies having no shot, since there was OBVIOUSLY a great chance that they would win their last 14 games. Tomorrow, I traverse the surface of the sun unscathed. Any footwear recommendations?

  34. SGT Ted says:

    Nothing open toed commandero.

  35. Patrick says:

    Rockies sure are a helluva story.

  36. BJTexs says:

    Speaking of a helluva story:

    *TAP* *TAP* (feedback)

    Ladieeeeeees and Geeeeeeentlemen! I give you your National League Eastern Division leading PHILADELPHIA PHILLIES!!!!!!

    HUZZAH! HUZZAH!

    Heh! Not to mention your AL Easetrn Division Champion BOSTON RED SOX!

    LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL!

    Sorry, the 2004 ALCS had the best Game 7 ever. And the biggest choke ever.

    BTW, How. About. Them. Red Sox?

  38. mojo says:

    Oh yeah, the Yankees and the Sox. Gee. There’s a shocka.

    Yawn.

    But hell, with the A’s standing proudly at the bottom of the West Coast division all I can say is “at least it ain’t the bottom of the league”…

    Oh, and uh… Go Diamondbacks?

  39. McGehee says:

    But hell, with the A’s standing proudly at the bottom of the West Coast division

    If Charlie O were alive today he’d be rolling over in his grave.

  40. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Well, the Cubs haven’t choked yet, but there’s still time.

    SGT Ted: “open toed commandero” sounds like a polite way of describing a problem I had with one brand of boxer shorts. I’d be walking around the house and suddenly notice that I was “open-toed commandero”.

    I didn’t buy that brand again. In fact, I switched to the kind that have a snap on the fly.

  41. ThomasD says:

    Jeff, you really need a bigger couch.

    Chips and salsa would be bonus too.

    And guacamole.

  42. BJTexs says:

    *BEEP BEEP BEEP* THIS IS A PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

    The Mets have an urgent request. Does anybody know the Heimlich maneuver? Also they would like to request that people stop asking them to crush walnuts with their butt cheeke.

    This has been a public service announcment. Please return to your regularly scheduled blogging.

  43. jkrank says:

    If the season lasted 10 more games, the Rockies would be the most feared team in the NL.

  44. mojo says:

    McGehee, please don’t even mention that SOB’s name to me.

  45. Swen Swenson says:

    Lying in the sun, snapping at flies..

  46. Patrick says:

    BJTeks,

    How ’bout dem Marlins rolling over and taking it for the Mets today. Sheesh. As for the Phils: when presented with opponents named Chico during playoff implicated games, please do your damnedest to get said Chico outta the GD game pronto!

  47. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Lying in the sun, snapping at flies..

    The last time I tried that I almost got arrested.
