09.16.08 CHOKEWATCH 2008
As the baseball season is now in its final two weeks, let’s take a look at the teams coughing up their playoff spots.
- As noted yesterday, the Brewers lost their 5½-game lead in the wild card race with a 3-11 start to September that led to Ned Yost’s firing. Verdict: needs more Sabathia.
- The Rays’ season-long love affair with first place in the AL East is now more of a love triangle, as the Red Sox have elbowed their way into a share of the division lead. The two teams face off again tonight. Loser gets the wild card and… the Angels? I dunno, that would take research.
- The Mets are really going to do it: their lead is now half a game in the NL East, and the Phillies don’t have to wake up to salivating New York Post headlines.
So, that’s it, right? Who else qualifies? The Twins, maybe? Ah hell, who cares?

It makes sense that the Mets Bullpen would assist in the swallowing function.
If Ozzie keeps throwing Ehren fucking Wasserman out there in late-inning, close game situations, the White Sox are going to be on this list.
my shipment of corn dogs should be arriving in Queens any day now.
Doesn’t John McNamara or Grady Little have to be involved somehow?
The real question on this post is should I sit Santonio Holmes against the Eagles in favour of Anthony Gonzalez against the Jags. I guess it depends if Clark is back in the lineup for the Colts. Ahhh…baseball.

I ain’t sayin a goddamn thing!!!
favour? that’s a paddlin’
I wonder how long it will take the Mets to process the refund for the LCS tickets I just bought.
The only reason I have left to cheer for the Nationals this year is not to avoid 100 losses, but my hope that they can help the Mets blow the division lead again.

I didn’t know women had a Vag nerve all the way up in their neck. That explains a lot.
I don’t know much about baseball and still think this is clever, snarky, and fuckin’ funny/
