Picking Your Poison

Found October 21, 2009 on Surviving Grady:
PLAYERS: Shea Hillenbrand
TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers

Our pal Lisa over at Subway Squawkers asked me to participate in a brief Q&A session at her blog. One of the questions asked was, "What would upset you more: seeing Manny win a World Series with the Dodgers or seeing the Yankees win the World Series."With the Phillies holding a 3-1 series edge, the former seems increasingly unlikely.

The dude made a shitload of money, put up some amazing numbers, provided an endless source of entertainment (especially critical during the Dante Bichette era), helped us win a couple rings, and wasn't named "Shea Hillenbrand."

Broxton unable to deliver

Via Sports Illustrated  |  October 20, 2009
PHILADELPHIA -- Part of being a closer, the most mentally taxing job in baseball and perhaps all of sports, is knowing that eventually it will be your turn to fail.
