Gastrointestinal Surgery on the Pitcher's Mound? With a ballplayer named Colon (pronounced Coe-LOEN), such headlines are inevitable, but he really wasn't all there tonight, so... ; This site really should support the baseball team with a Rally Monkey.

  • They just can't contain themselves.
  • They just have to let one go.
  • It all comes out in the end.
  • ANGELS WIN! ANGELS WIN! ANGELS WIN! ANGELS WIN! ANGELS WIN! Have I mentioned that I've been a closet Angels fan since Nolan Ryan was their star pitcher? Oh, I have.
  • and now that the game is over, they've changed the headline, which had been: "Angels forced to remove injured Colon"
  • Ok wendell, what's our bet on the series?
  • The White Sox scare me more than the Yanks did. Can't bet against St. Looey to win the NL, and their catcher is the younger brother of the Angels' catcher(s).
  • i guess having a warmed-up colon isnt always necessary for great backdoor sliders, eh?
  • any team that is not-the-Yankees is the team I'll be rooting for.
  • Nottheyankees! Nottheyankees! Rah! Rah! Rah!
  • Oh, god, baseball. Go Nottheyankees!
  • This isn't cricket, old chap...
  • Now that the Rangers are out of it (since what, April 2? I'm not bitter!!!) I'll throw my lot in with the Angels. Rally Monkeys are good, and any team that beats the Yanks is a friend of mine. (Enemy of my enemy and all that...)
  • I just love that Bengie Molina is hitting over .500 in the postseason. Jose and Yadier can take notes!
  • Sweet! Eat that $200 million blood money Steinbrenner! You Faustian fuck! HA! Go Nottheyankees! I'll trade you Carlton Fisk for Rod Carew. And the rookie Fydrich.
  • I like all the teams still standing. In my reckoning there are good teams and evil teams and all the teams left are good teams. It'd be better if there was one evil team left to vanquish in the World Series. The only evil-ish that is left is the White Sox, and they are not even close to real evil. Well, real BASEBALL evil.
  • I shall inform Lord Steinbrenner!
  • How bout dem White Sox?
  • Sorry 'bout that wendell. But at least the Angles already got one o' them WS chimpionships recently. Goooo Sox!
  • Man, how 'bout them Sox! Longest WS game in history, and they've got it 3-0 now. Sorry to you Houston fans, but that probably means the Series. I'd actually like to see both teams win this one. The Sox are certainly due (1917!), plus it'd be yet another Groovy Baseball Statistical Longshot to have both Sox teams, who last won the WS in back-to-back series in the late teens both break their historic bad streaks in back-to-back series in the new century. On the other hand, there are some Astros players who richly deserve a WS ring, and my National League pride makes me want to see that designated hitter-having sissy league get taken down. But man, either way, what a series!
  • Five hour game? Pfft. Back in myyyyy dayyyy they played 18 innings and went six hours! And they liked it! They loved the mind-bendingly horrible sensation of not knowing if they won yet or not! Whoo boy it does sound like a series. Wouldn't it just blow everyone's mind if Houston came back? I mean, that's been their whole season right?
  • Man, there's a duel a-goin' on right now. This has been one damn good, tense series.
  • And zee Sox just scored!!!
  • So yesterday I really got into the game, and watched, and watched, and watched...end of the 13th was almost 2am here, and we just had to give up. Then it ended in the 14th. Oh goddamn. Ah well. Go Sox! (Vaguely by default. This isn't a particularly inspiring matchup, in my books).
