10.24.08 THE WORLD SERIES IS PAINFULLY BORING
I don’t know if it’s fair to call something boring if you don’t even try to watch it, but I’m not really interested in being fair: this World Series is super-dooper boring. I couldn’t be more thrilled that I didn’t watch the Rays’ 4-2 win last night, because I nearly fell asleep reading the recap. A sample:
Tampa Bay never really got a huge hit, but neither did the Phillies as Jimmy Rollins and crew fell to 1-for-28 with runners in scoring position…
Tampa Bay scored on Jason Bartlett’s safety squeeze and built another rally when Rocco Baldelli walked on a checked swing that seemed to confuse players and umpires alike.
Poor situational hitting! Bunts! Check-swing walks! Hold onto your hats, kids — this wild ride could go seven games!
Game 3 is in Philly on Saturday night, but thankfully, rain is in the forecast. Even God doesn’t want to watch this series.

Well, 1 of 2 in Tampa ain’t bad…..
I think your indifference is best summed up in the tag “MLN Playofs.” If it’s not worth proofreading, it might not even be worth mocking.
Its Always Sunny in Philadelphia >>>>>>>>> Philadelphia Phillies/Tampa Bay Rays action
Good call, Smello. Of course, since you pointed it out, I had to fix it.
Go fuck yourself. The World Series is great this year.
Though you have to admit that was a nice single leg takedown of the catcher right to side control.
James Watt invented the steam engine.
3 more wins and i’ll be calling this the greatest world series ever. but i may be slightly biased.
Amen, HHY. I’d eat cat food to avoid watching this series.
I’ll be sticking needles in my eyes and masturbating with a cheese grater while I watch tonight
