Playoff Fever!

In my nearly 40 years of going to baseball games, I've never caught a foul ball or been to a playoff game. The latter streak ends tonight! A buddy of mine has 5 Angel season tickets. Basically, it's a tax-free (for him) bonus from his boss. So, three of us invested in the 5 for the playoffs thinking that we'd use half and the proceeds from the other have on eBay or StubHub would essentially pay for the games we're going to. Since the HB and I are going camping this weekend, I opted for tonight's game against the Red Sox.

Boston has been a pain in the Angels' playoff asses ever since they Angels started going to the playoffs in the 80s. Hopefully, this is the year the Halos stick it to those fuckers.

In more sports news, both of my football teams (Raiders and Univ of Tenn) are in the fucking toilet. The Raiders seem to only want to play for 3 quarters (maybe the new coach can fix that) and the Vols' problems are too numerous to list hear. Perhaps this is the year they are bad enough to fire Fulmer.

The congress starts looking at revised bail-out bills today. I cannot get over the pissiness and name calling. Some house republicrats are saying they didn't vote for the last bill because Pelosi said mean things about shrub in her speech on the house floor? Puhleeeese. Sure, she didn't have to do it, but to use that as a reason not to vote for a bill that you otherwise thought was worthwhile is a bunch of shit. Quit being a whiny bitch and just say you didn't like the bill.
