Well, looks like the weather is done delaying our championship (sorry,Tommythecat,I'm overextending my positive frame of mind). Just want to say good luck to the Phillies and see you all on Broad Street! If we win I'll be downtown.Anyone who wants a drink on me,you know what to do! GO PHIGHTINS!!!!!!

In honor of the Phillies and the world series I present you with my Halloween '08 pumpkin carving.It was a pain in the ass so they better win.

1. "I'm an astrophysicist." - SHARP anger keynote: the LCD calculator he shows is NOT an LCD calculator.

2. "They're here/this is crazy this is crazy" - DirectTV anger keynote: really just sheer volume.If I had DirectTV before,I wouldn't now.

3. "Can you believe we still call these phones" - Sprint anger keynote: It isn't all that unbelievable.

4. "Saved by Zero" - Toyota anger keynote: zero is how much I intend to ever pay so you may as well call the repo man now.

5. "when you turn your car on does it return the favor?" - Cadillac anger keynote: regardless of the hot chick,these cars are for old people.

6. "is water from this hose the same as this hose?" - Bud Light anger keynote: clap from this ho IS the same as clap from that ho.

7. "when an SUV can carry 7 people the world changes" - Ford Flex anger keynote: this car sucked when it was sold at the scion dealer.

8. "I think I'm in love..with a phone" - iPhone(?) anger keynote: I don't even know what the hell phone they're selling.I just know I hate it.

9. "ask your doctor if you're healthy enough to have sex" - Cialis anger keynote: if you have to ask the answer is no.

I'm not buying into the whole "we're rays as in 'rays of sunshine' and that's why we have that sun-star thing on our field" explanation of Tampa Bays new devil-less moniker. In fact, I think they should have read up on aquatic life of the Gulf Coast ,or at least paid a visit to Sea World, before naming the team because clearly they picked the wrong fish. It is easy to confuse a fluke for a flounder but not so much with a stingray. Therefore, although I could ridicule the team's ownership for their faux-pas, I will instead offer a photo of an actual fluke so the design can be changed to the proper sub-species. One that more accurately depicts the qualities of got lucky, one hit wonder, happy accident, our division's over-rated, South Florida baseball teams.

Ok ok ok ok ALRIGHT I GET IT.You have realized the Phillies have had previous issues with hitting with runners in scoring position.Fine.I heard you the FIRST FIVE THOUSAND FU*KING TIMES!!

You know,I really find it hard to believe that this tight assed homobot had the guts to expel that trash about the Phillies not batting runs in AND THEN WITH THE SAME BREATH say "Phillies fans are probably getting tired of hearing about not scoring with runners in position to score". No sh*t,Joe. That's because you utter those very words about 60 times an inning. Also, McCarver, yeah you a**hole. Joe already explained about 6 of our ten runs coming into this game were off homeruns.SO SHUT THE HELL UP!!

Seriously folks, I am thrilled we won.Just needed to vent,AGAIN, about these idiots.They honestly are ruining the experience for me.I hate them.

The Rays called a 9th inning timeout to set up a play to try and prolong the inevitable.At least that's the way it looked from my living room while I waited about ten minutes for the Rays to break the huddle and pitch.Why did the umpire give them so much time? Whatever,it didn't matter because after burning 'em deep earlier he blooped a little "hit" that foiled the Rays 5 man infield set up.Atta boy,Carlos!!

Not many people cared about Matt Jones getting busted with coke.I guess this is because he's a low profile possession WR with little star power. Santonio Holmes gets busted with weed and the difference in his value as a player is reflected by the number of raised eyebrows.To me there is little difference.The bottom line is that even while I agree smoking some weed is not the worst possible offense it IS banned in both courts of law and the NFL rules of conduct.Help me understand the magnitude of Holmes' offense by answering a simple question. If the US decided to legalize marijuana would you still like to see it banned in the NFL under the league's controlled substance policies?

Tim McCarver blows.Perhaps he'll keel over before he gets to see his beloved Rays play in Philly.

F*ck Joe Buck. Fu*k Tim McCarver ever so much harder,anally, and with a fireplug.I think you can guess why he deserves all this and MORE. If not, I'll tell you. Because when he isn't getting paid to root for the Rays he's eating little boys' underpants.Goodnight.

The devil must be cold tonight because Temple won a home game. I am just back from the Linc, my throat shredded, and with a GIGANTIC headache, but it was worth it to see the Owls defeat Ohio. The first half went much as expected.Good D, little offense, a whole lot of cursing. Temple started Adam Dimichelle at QB.It was his first start since being injured in the Penn State game. It took him three and a half quarters to find his legs but finally he led the offense to two TDs in four minutes for the win. Officiating was, as usual, absolutely criminal but it was not enough to stop the Owls from scoring a win tonight. Temple is now 3-5 on the year and 2-3 in the MAC. They are a 1/2 game behind Akron for the MAC East division title and a berth in the MAC championship. Next up for the Owls, Navy at Anapolis on Saturday. They only have four days to prepare but it is an interesting matchup because Temple's defense is very good at stopping complex running plays. Should be a good one.

In the year 2008 a small,er..kinda big,actually..well let's just say medium sized sports blog expanded beyond the realms of human science.At first no one noticed when the banner ads started replacing the boxscores.No one even cared as the banner ads disappeared to make way for a new ranking caste system that sent earthlings scrambling to achieve a decorative 100% badge lest they be swept away by throbbing masses of limited participation mundanity. With the YB mothership threatening to shake apart at the seams, the administration attempted to featurize the homepage one last time. Even as Earth's nations protested and cried for fear of overloading the website and causing a total newsfeed meltdown, YB boldly pushed into the cold regions of space with a cargobay full of features,ads, and widgets....

All hands on deck! We've gone to high alert! The contributor known as LILEAGLE has not been heard from in several days. I fear he may be stuck in YB limbo similar to what happened to Jcc1983 and myself. Or maybe he's on vacation. Who knows?

" Boston fans are weak, and spoiled. Tampa Bay isn't going to know how to deal with a bunch of championship-starved Phillies fans." - Samich When 50 can sound like 5000 the Trop can become very hostile to the home team. And I expect there to be a lot more than 50 Phightins fans on hand in St. Petersburg. If you go, let 'em know! Hey, it's a jerk-free world series! Betcha it'll be a good one,too. Phils in six. PHILLIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
