Sox Win, Remain Undefeated
Big Game James is lame.
Despite Payroll, Baltimore Still Better than Yanks
I’m glad the Yanks picked up Sabathia (6 runs in 4 1-3 innings and 2 wild pitches) and Teixeria (0-4 with 5 stranded runners) because those guys stink. Looks like they are the next Johnny Damon and Bobby Abreu. Or Randy Johnson. If the Yanks had Julio Lugo, they’d have the most expensive team of bums ever fielded.

What I’ve Been Doing all Winter
Just keeping busy with a little game of Scrabble! Getting ready for the season to start!
Thanks for the Taco, Jason Bartlett!
Although Jason Bartlett lost last night, he won the hearts and stomachs of America a free taco. My human promised to come home from work on Tuesday, Oct 28th from 2-6 PM so we could hit the local Taco Bell and redeem our free feast.
Also, I have a great new idea for the product development people over at Taco Bell. When Taco Bell president Greg Creed was talking last night about how he loved playing cricket, the idea came to me. Cricket tacos! If you guys have never feasted on a crunchy little cricket, you’re missing out. These guys are tasty! They are usually found in your territory in places were the grass has not been maintained for awhile. I recommend pawing at them a little to see what they are doing and then feasting on them.
So when the Taco Bell lady asks me if I want the free beef taco or the free chicken taco, I’m gonna say “free cricket taco, please”!
Play hard. Feast harder.

Someone Better Win me a Taco or I’m Gonna be Mad!
Since Tacoby Bellsbury and Taco-co Crisp were unfairly eliminated from the World Series, I’m a little nervous that no one will win me a free taco this year. Since I’ve watched a total of 0 Phillies’ games this year (well I did watch Manny bat in the NLCS), I decided to do some research into what kind of running game this team has and which Phillie can possibly make it rain free tacos. Here’s my findings:
1. Jimmy Rollins (SS)- If a Phillie is going to win me a taco, Rollins is likely the man to do it. He has 47 stolen bases this year. We just need him to get on base.
2. Shane Victorino (CF)- If Rollins can’t bring the feast, Victorino may be able to. 36 steals on the year. Unlike Taco-co, Victorino prefers not to start fights with pitchers who throw at him. This bodes well for him not getting thrown out of the game and keeping my free taco hopes alive.
3. Chase Utley (2B)- With a name like Chase, you’d think this guy could run. Not so much with only 14 steals on the season. I’d say Chase has an outside chance of opening Taco Bell’s coffers.
4. Ryan Howard (1B)- Too fat to run. 1 steal on the season, which was likely a fluke. Howard should mail me a coupon for a free Subway grinder to make up for his 0% chance of winning me a taco.
5. Pat Burrell (LF)- Is it even possible to steal 0 bases in a season? I mean, not even a defensive indifference or something? Burrell is lame.
6. Geoff Jenkins (RF)- Never heard of this guy, but apparently he doesn’t know how to run. Perhaps he needs a bite in the bum to get moving. 1 steal on the season.
7. Pedro Feliz (3B)- More like Pedro Please get moving. You stink. 0 steals on the season.
8. Carlos Ruiz (C)- While unlikely to steal a base himself (1 on the season), the Phillies catcher can still help out the cause by letting Carl Crawford steal on him. Put it in your pocket, Carlos!
9. Cole Hamels (P)- Oddly enough, pitchers bat in the NL. How lame is that? One less potential base-stealer in the line-up! Anyway, even if Hamels gets on base, there is no way he is risking messing up his hair by sliding into second.
As you can see, the Phillies’ order is extremely top-heavy. If Rollins or Victorino don’t get on base, we will likely starve.
Play hard. Feast harder.

Sox Can’t Complete the Improbable
The Red Sox couldn’t quite comeback from the 3-1 deficit this weekend, but a guy in PA did manage to eat a cheeseburger that weighed 20.2 pounds. They even paid this guy $400 to eat that burger. I would have done it for free! If this guy is a Phillies fan, than I am pulling for them in the World Series.
Play hard. Feast harder.
