Griff

Did anyone catch Griffey's K to end the game the other night? At the time I just felt like it might be the end of his career. What a terrible way to go out. Yesterday he mentioned he's not retiring. What was weird about that at bat was that for the first time ever I can really remember a players career from first game to possible last name. He broke in with such a bang and I believe he hit a homer that first game (vs. A's if my memory serves me). Interesting thought that he probably is the best player to never play in a W.S.

Rip's love for Beltran unending

In perhaps some of the most blatant hyperbole of recent years, Rips attempt to hide his man-crush on Carlos Beltran is poor. Simply; Rip is the Gene to Beltrans Phineas.

Enjoy the reference.

Fellas,

What a crackup that Al DAvis is. Now I havent heard him speak publicly lately but that news conference was hilarious. Have you even seen a news conf when the speaker was sitting at a desk? And what about the black little table lamp so he could read the letter? HIs outfits are notorious but the long necked sweater with the sport jacket was great.

Speaking of necks, whats up with Ozzie Guillen and the big towel around his neck protruding out from the jacket? What does this serve? Its not that cold yet? Is he sweating as he's making managerial decisions?

The playoff are here. If last nights tiebreaker is any indication that it should be exciting. The best thing about baseball playoffs is the afternoon games! It makes it great knowing kids can come home from school and watch. That is if they have a dish or cable. Any predictions?
