Good news - they haven't been THAT much better than the Fish so far this year.

Bad news - They HAVE to get better.

Good news - they are sending Ryan Madson (AKA - South Street Moehler) to the mound tonight! There are ichthyomancy points to be made, my friends!!!

Rich says Alex Gonzalez

has a fan section made of "friends and family."
I'm in his fan section for giving my team a World Series championship.

Did you see the implosion?

I didn't see it

I just caught the tail end of it on the box score updates...

It almost needs to be seen to be believed

I don't know how it could described in words

What happened?

(try and describe in words...)

It's really hard there was so much to tell

in the seventh only one ball was hit out of the infield and it was a bloop that Uggla got a glove on.

But I will give you an example: Phillies had the bases loaded Victorino hit the bloop that Uggla got a glove on. Two runs scored to make the score 5 to 4. Uggla retrieves the ball and is running the ball in, during which he puts his head down Rollins sees this and scores from third.

I can't describe it but it was stuff like that all inning long.
