LLWL Alas! The Baseball Gods are still angry at Ric. How long must the collective fan base endure the punishment for another's crime?
fine; i'll take one for the team... (deep breath) LLLL. this team sucks! phil garner is a moron!! morgan ensberg is a puss!!! my dead grandmother hits harder than jason lane!!!! craig biggio needs to be taken behind a barn and put out of his misery!!!!! lance berkman is being wasted!!!!!! they will rue the day the released preston wilson!!!!!!! and if drayton mclane were here right now, i'd tell him to his face what a cheap, lying, no-good, rotten, four-flushing, low-life, snake-licking, dirt-eating, inbred, overstuffed, ignorant, blood-sucking, dog-kissing, brainless, dickless, hopeless, heartless, fat-ass, bug-eyed, stiff-legged, spotty-lipped, worm-headed sack of monkey **** owner he is. hallelujah! holy ****! where's the tylenol? (better?)
Ric, blasting the team does no good, as the Baseball Gods do not care about mere mortals. What they want is obedience, servitude, and respect. (Sacrifices help as well.) Do not show them up with brash predictions and delusions of grandeur, or they may exact swift and terrible revenge on you (like, oh, say, getting swept by the Cubs at home with your best 3 pitchers on the mound). Repent thy sins! Apologize to the Mighty and Awesome Forces That Be! Save yourself! Save all of us from a punishment worse than rooting for the Pirates!
WLWW By the way, I knew Ryan Franklin was going to cost the Reds at least 2 or 3 games after they picked him up. One down today (gave up the winning run to the Cards today), 2 more to go...
Cincinnati, Arizona, Philadelphia, San Diego have all lost today, this is a huge game to start this road trip. Lets Go Astros!!!
