It breaks your heart. It is designed to break your heart. The game begins in the spring, when everything else begins again, and it blossoms in the summer, filling the afternoons and evenings, and then as soon as the chill rains come, it stops and leaves you to face the fall alone. You count on it, rely on it to buffer the passage of time, to keep the memory of sunshine and high skies alive, and then just when the days are all twilight, when you need it most, it stops. Today, a Sunday of rain and broken branches and leaf-clogged drains and slick streets, it stopped, and summer was gone.
Draft order!
Please post your pick in Bold Red. Pictures would be nice. PM the person after you after you pick. I don't know who everyone is so let us know what team you are so you can get your PM.
Man, the fights that will take place between Philly and NY fans are gonna be EPIC. The NY Post and Phil Inquirer going back and forth trading cheap shots is authentic US Northeastern swagger at its finest!
I hope the guy that was a really good Cleveland pitcher but got traded because Cleveland probably couldn't afford to pay him "market value" (because who the fuck stays on a team they purportedly like unless they are making the same money as God) wins his game tonight.

I'm kind of excited because it's the World Series, but ambivalent because I don't really have a stake in either team. Dad likes the Yankees, so I grew up liking them... but we're from Detroit, and every game I went to at Tiger Stadium as a kid was pretty much a slaughter... so I also hate the Yankees.
edit: I've been listening to local sports talk radio all day. They've pretty much began the coronation for the Yankees this morning. I'm hoping the Phillies put it to them (even though admitting that hurts me as a Mets fan).

That's what Hockey Season is for!

And then, there's the Phillies... neat?
Should at least be a good series, though.
Everyone else involved in this last series can eat some shitbricks.
Bostons all left out in a Northeast showdown, a bloo-bloo-bloo.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
Shamed Edit: It's The Imperial March :?
They do that for every opposing team! So it was especially funny when it was the Twins.
Top of the first: CC nibbled a bit, but got away with it. No more of that, please.
Are they that desperate to play?
Go Mets!

Amen.
Utley's making a fat man sweat while Cliff Lee is doing his best impression of Sandy Koufax.
Situation excellent. I am attacking.

Maybe he should give the Yankee hitters a pep talk.
"Just do it! Is it in you? I'm lovin' it!"
The Devil's series is but the first sign of the coming apocalypse.

As well he should. It's the same type of launchpad he should be used to playing in at home.
