So I just got home from a day at the beach (amazing girls in Old Lyme, Conn.) and have been on the horn with my pops all day about the score. My dad was napping when it went final, and I phoned my mom, who relayed to me “the guy whose name starts with ‘L’” got the third out.

How good I am: I wrote that gameday lineup at 10:30 a.m. today, and I got it right. Good day, guys, good day.

they have beckett – dice-k – lester – bucholz – colon – wakefield – masterson and schilling is still waiting on the dl out there. thats insane! when theyre all healthy thats frightening. im just saying yknow, it wouldve been nice to have hoarded starting pitching so that youre in a position like that instead of relying on someone that pitched in the bullpen alst year, someone thats 45 years old, and someone that had an era of over 6 last year to fill the bulk of your rotation.

but hey look on the bright side, they are executing the plan i laid out for them to get a world series ring some months back. theyre well on their way and thats encouraging as long as the rest of the plan falls into place.

it was kind of funny though, because you could tell he really didnt want to be out there because he pitched to contact just so he could induce some easy outs and get out of there in like 3 minutes.

this team has that swagger that you need to win a title, now all they need to do is plug one or two final holes at the deadline and theyll be good to go. im tired of arguing about the rotation, its really obvious as it has been for years.

hey, there was a ryan howard sighting today. he and victorino stepped up to show that they should still be on this team today. victorino has pretty much redeemed himself from the three or so games he cost us earlier in the season.

if they can put some distance on the division i think the owners will approve the bolstering of the rotation and the bullpen so that we can all feel better about a legitimate world series run. if you cant get a number two then get a number three. just get another solid starter in there that you can rely on in the playoffs. just improve the rotation. improve the bullpen. add to it. you dont have to get carried away. just make an improvement to give these players the help they need.

theyve been playing well for a few years now and i think they deserve the support from management to go all the way and end this championship drought. thats the only thing i care about in regards to this team. i dont care about winning another division title and blowing it in the playoffs because good pitchers bring this lineup back down to earth. i want it all, i want the drought to end and this is the best chance for it to end. this team can do it. all im asking is just please make sure that they have what they need.

PS. fantasy baseball is stupid. so is fantasy football or fantasy anything, its the biggest retard waste of time ive ever seen. thats teh equivalent of playing world of warcraft. please…go outside and get some sun and go to a real baseball game.
