It was bad enough losing a bet to Bowlderman, but the Flightin' Phutiles have got my thumb almost numb from channel surfing in order not to watch their bumbling attempts.

The Brewers should demand a recount for last weekend's series. They will probably sweep this weekend at the Bank!

On the other hand, I'm going to the Trenton Thunder tomorrow night to see Chase the Bat Dog. I hear they might play some baseball too.

I feel your pain Geo. My White Sox has played themselves out of the division race.

A friend is taking me to a game against the Braves next Wednesday. I think we'll spend a lot of time wandering around the stadium, checking it out, seeing what kinds of beer are on sale, that kind of thing.

Geo, if it wasn't for the Phillies the Astros would really suck.

From what I've seen, the Yanks have been trying with all their might to lose first place.

Hmmm, the Yank-mes, Mutts, and Phutiles are 3-7 in their last 10 games.

The Inklings, Brooders, and Oreos are 1-9.

Baseball is the greatest game of baseball that was ever in the game of baseball.

Ol Case said that in a Congressional hearing. The senators cracked up, and Mickey Mantle, Whitey Ford, and Billy Martin were sitting behind Casey waiting to testify. They cracked up too.

Greatest baseball quote that was ever in the game of baseball.

The Buzzards were winning against the Pittsburglars through three periods, took out the starters and lost the game with the subs in the 4th quarter. I called up Andy Reid and asked what the hell happened, and he said he saw what he needed to see and just wanted to make Tango happy.

Thank God for that! Doesn't matter why! Just another in the W column. But we put our so called scrubs in also, what does that mean??

Most of our scrubs were playing on the A-team. The A-team is mostly on the DL. So our scrubs beat your A-team and your scrubs beat our C team. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

I'm not ruling out the Phillies yet. They're not going to the world series but I still think they will pull off a good September and maybe make the playoffs. I'm hoping they do so I can get a chance to go to a playoff game and see the Cardinals. The Cardinals are awesome this year.

the wild card is still a close race. It's going to be an exciting wild card race this september.

The Phutiles may as well be 493 games behind in the wild card race. Too many good teams ahead of them, and they won't be able to mount a sustained winning streak to carry them through. At this point, they need to start winning tonight and keep going at it and the other four or five teams need to lay down. Ain't gonna happen!

But that's okay. Tonight I'm taking my work peeps to see the Trenton Thunder and Chase the Diamond Dog. There's also a laser show after the game. The game is almost superfluous.

You know I really thought the Phillies would win the division this year. Oh well you have the Eagles to look forward to.

Is that the sound of choking I hear off in the distance?

Awww bit, you're on to me. That is exactly my plan. I am still doing a survey of all the gin joints in the stadium to figure out what exotic kinds of beer they have.

Tomorrow night is the last Thirsty Thursday of the year for our local AA club. My brother and I will again be drinking heavily and entertaining the other spectators.

AA seasons are winding down. Should end this weekend. The Trenton Thunker (Yank-mes) and Reading Phutiles had lousy seasons. I missed getting up to Reading to see Ryan Howard and Gavin Floyd. Chase the bat-dog was the prime entertainment at Trenton.

Psycho squirrel behind Yankee loss?
New York Yankees Have Rodent in Outfield

CLEVELAND (AP) — This squirrelly newcomer caused quite a stir at Jacobs Field.

A brown squirrel ran onto the field in the bottom of the third inning last Wednesday night and ran circles around the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians.

After romping through the outfield, it dashed toward the infield to the delight of the cheering crowd. The squirrel then ran between Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and shortstop Derek Jeter, who stood watching the critter.

After a brief delay, play continued when the squirrel ran out and settled down in center field. Several players smiled at the sight, and the squirrel was still out there in the fifth inning.

The Indians superimposed a team jersey over a photo of the squirrel on the giant television screen in center.

Did the squirrel have tomato stains in its fur? If so, that was probably Psycho.

Very nice night. Red Sox and Angels - two of the hottest teams right now (both winning 9 out of their last 10 games) play and the Sox win. Yankees tank in a historic shut-out. Sox make up 7 of their 10 1/2 game deficit to the Yanks in just over two weeks - and build a bit of a lead for the wild card spot.

Don't get too excited Ped. Tito is good at blowing games and leads. The only reason they're doing as good as they are is the team is too good for Tito to screw up. But he finds ways.

Also, enjoy it while you can. Tito-led teams did progressively worse in Philly. In his last year here, they would not have made it into the regionals of the Little League World Series.

On behalf of the Fightin' Phutiles, I would like to thank the entire New Yuck Mutts organization on their fine gift to the City of Philadelphia over the last weekend. We look forward to renewing our relationship this coming weekend in Flushed-Out Meadows.

Got a business fans special today, Astros vs Reds at 1:05 CDT. I'm leaving in about an hour for the ballpark. Clemens is starting fro the 'Stros. Hoping for 12 in a row.

Phutiles sweep a doubleheader from the Brats??? Are you freakin kidding me??? Are you out of your gourd? What's your major problem Numbnuts? What the hell are you smoking?

But they did. Go figure! I'm flabbergasted.

They may never lose another game.
