Curse This Cursed Blackberry
So there I was at the Meadowlands, on a gorgeous day, the sun beating down on us, watching a thriller of an overtime football game between my World Champion New York Giants and the Bengals, and all I could do is keep hitting "refresh" on my stupid Blackberry to see the stupid bullpen give up stupid run after stupid run, letting the stupid Braves chip away, chip away, and finally go roaring past the stupid Mets, as the stupid offense decided to stop scoring any stupid runs after the stupid second inning. Stupid.I've called them finished so many times, I can't even bother any longer. I'm officially adopting the "whatever will be, will be" posture at this point: if they make it, great, if not, well for pete's sake, my football team is 3-0! I have bigger fish to fry.
But I will say this: If Aaron Heilman pitches to another batter this season in anything even remotely resembling a meaningful or important spot, I will pay for Jerry Manuel's psychiatric examination myself.

I was thinking of you and Maybe the whole time the Sunday meltdown occured. "They are gonna be pissed that the G-men just romped some ass and the Mets screwed another one." At least it was a beautiful day. Email and Blackberry updates are shitty ways to receive bad news... especially when trying celebrating a glorious victory.

Sure, a win is a win, but it doesn't concern Toasty that it took an overtime game for the G-Men to beat the freaking Bengals?

F that, Rickey. The Bengals have offensive talent. It's a win, plain and simple. I've learned long ago not to apologize for any wins in a 16-game season.

fair enough sir, not being a huge football guy, Rickey will reserve his criticism for a far more deserving team.
