Merry Christmas!

Thanks and hugs to Fausto Carmona, CC Sabathia, Paul Byrd, Grady Sizemore, Victor Martinez, Travis Hafner, the Raffys... heck, even Joe Borowski. For the seventh straight postseason, the Y*****s are $200,000,000 losers. An odd twist this year that the Indians would beat the Y*****s on Columbus Day. This will be the first year of those seven in which I'll be rooting against the team that conquered evil in the next round. What a postseason!

I went to Mike's bachelor party in the Poconos this weekend, reunited with the guys, and played a ton of darts, ping-pong, baseball, frisbee (sorry, AJ), horseshoes, and even a bush league home run derby, which I won by the skin of my teeth. Another taxing trip on this old body, but the weekend was worth the 22 hours in the car.

Oh, and did I mention the Y*****s won't be playing in the ALCS? Or that Roger C*****s may never pitch again? Kiss a baby today.
