If they hadn't run the bases like drunken sailors, it would be much worse

So said Skip Caray of the Washington Nationals as they narrowly beat the Braves in August. From what I saw of today’s season-ending loss to the Astros, I think a similar sentiment might apply again. Eighteen innings, a fabulous grand slam from Adam LaRoche that marvelously silenced the crowd at Minute Maid Park, and yet we lose to the wild card. I hope the Cardinals sweep them next round, and then themselves get swept by the White Sox in the World Series.
Doesn’t help in the least that the Michael Vick-less Falcons lost to the Patriots tonight, or that my Yellow Jackets played Reggie Ball, who was coming off a bout with bacterial meningitis, and dropped one to N.C. State on Thursday.
And let’s not even get into Georgia’s win over Tennessee on Saturday. If the Yankees beat the Angels in game five, I may boycott sports until March Madness.
