OT: Kent Mercker

Quote from the Cincinatti Enquirer:

He’s going to retire. Said his new job will be “turning Vodka into urine.”

Kind of sad.

Predictions on the DS?

I’m thinking:

ALDS

Tampa vs. Chicago: Tampa in 3
Boston vs. LAA: Boston in 5

NLDS

Milwaukee vs. Philadelphia: Milwaukee in 5
Los Angeles vs. Chicago: Los Angeles in 5

I hate to choose against the Cubs, but they sort of just limped into the end of the season and they have been so entitled this year I’m not sure they are going to be awake in the NLDS. The Cubs, if they play like they are built to play, can destroy the Dodgers and win in 3. But, my pick is my pick. Deal with it.

Ouch

2 errors in this inning.

Phillies up 2 – 0 in the 3rd.

5th inning is not a good time to see the Brewers bullpen

I think

if they score a run or two here he will. Otherwise it won’t surprise me to see Lidge finish it off.

I don’t think I could ever trust him in a tight playoff game.

Sigh

Watched the first game, don’t think I can stomach the next two. I can’t stand any of the teams playing this year. Unless its Rays vs Brewers I’m going to be disappointed. Unless of course either wins it all.

this is not looking so good for the cubbies

They kinda look like crap tonight.

I’m ambivalent about the next game. On the one hand, it’s the Hated Halos. On the other hand, it’s Red Sox Nation.

OT, sort of

My husband got me one of those teeny tiny (7 inch screen) Asus Eee PCs for my birthday. It’s pretty cool, but of all the sites I’ve been to so far, this is the only one that renders weirdly :(

This game is frustrating me

and I’m not sure why, since I hate both teams. Maybe it’s the Angels fans getting on my nerves.
