Tigers fan Bubs

Looks like theTigers are the coolest team left, going to have to turn into Brett.

It also looks like Jim Leyland made a pretty good decision between his fourth and fifth pack of cigs. last Sunday. Lose to KC on purpose to draw an easier team. They made the Yankees look like the Platypi.

In other news, I only have to go to school for 3 days this week. Why? Because the UEA has it's convention this week. This is the only good thing the union does for me... allow time off in early fall. Luckily, they aren't taking any of my hard earned money. I'll let them use others' money to pretend like they're working hard for us teachers.

In conclusion, I almost contributed $20 per mile to a walkathon type thing... like the boss on The Office did. Luckily, I caught myself.

Baseball Bubs

Chad, you'll be happy to know that I donated your cheestick to Lincoln.

We had a fondue party yesterday with Ange's family. The best part was when Ange tricked her sister's husband into eating a jalapeno, and he about died. Strange, since he has an hispanic last name. The worst part was when I ate a jalapeno of my own free will and about died.

I'm getting in baseball predictions before any games are played:

Twins vs. A's - Twins win 3-1
Tigers vs. Yankees - I hate to say, but Detroit loses 3-1. Yankees have played much better down the stretch. I hope I'm wrong.
Padres vs. St. Louis - Padres 3-1. I've never seen a team back into the playoffs (beep, beep, beep?) like St. Louis, and it seems like the Padres never lose.
Dodgers vs. Mets - Dodgers will be lucky to get one game, but I'll give it to them. Mets win 3-1. Best team in the NL, but hopefully the Dodgers can take them out.

Twins vs. Yankees - If any of the playoff teams can beat the Yanks, I hope it's the Twins, they finished just one game behind in a tougher division. Twins win 4-3
Padres vs. Mets - I just don't see the Mets losing, barring a huge injury. Mets win 4-2

Mets vs. Twins - Give it to the Twins... I think the AL is much better this year, and they have homefield... once again. Twins win 4-3

I think we can all agree on one thing... that New York vs. New York in the world series would be a terrible thing. Let's hope it doesn't happen, and let's hope the world series isn't a sweep for the 3rd year in a row.

Who won last year's series? I've already forgotton.

Go Dodgers
