Real Ravens Fans?
Originally uploaded by browsermetrics.
In the current issue of ESPN, the magazine, (Feb ?) they asked fans of
this year’s losers who they’ll root for in the Big Game. Here’s who
the Ravens fans are gonna be rooting for. This one is hard to believe.
No true Ravens fan would cheer for the Colts. They asked the wrong
people. Must’ve been fair weather fans.

When I read this I did a spit take and snapped my head back! I may not
be a die hard Ravens fan, but I won’t root for them over the Saints.

"And it's a betrayal of everything Obama's supporters thought they were working for. Just like that, Obama has embraced and validated the Republican world-view – and more specifically, he has embraced the policy ideas of the man he defeated in 2008. A correspondent writes, 'I feel like an idiot for supporting this guy.'"http://krugman.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/01/26/obama-liquidates-himself/Sucks.Stupid Dems. Can't do anything right. Shit. Must find job in nicer Social Democratic country.

“What I’m thinking in my head is, ‘Well, the truth is, Brian, we can’t solve global warming because I fucking changed light bulbs in my house. It’s because of something collective’.”

President Obama talking about the inanities of our national press specifically that fucktard Brian Williams.

¡¿War?!

What is it good for?

So, President Obama surged some troops into Afghanistan following in President Fucktards surge into Iraq. I thought we elected this guy for change. We continue to do the same stupid fucking things. When will we get a leader who’ll grow some big brass ones?

Bob Herbert knocks one out of the park today. He knows that the US is facing tough choices. He knows that the President is facing tough choices. He knows we are facing tough choices. Sadly, he knows we like to take the easy way out.We have decided to fund our military industrial complex in order to conduct wars, wanted or unwanted. Rather than spending money to benefit our populace, we're spending money for helping other countries. We don't want to spend money helping ourselves, but we don't even want to spend money to help other countries really. We want me to keep the money.That's no way to run a country. Until we realize that spending is spending, we'll never get to being as great as we think we are.http://www.nytimes.com/2009/12/01/opinion/01herbert.html

As much as I hate it, as much as I don't want it to happen, as much as it would suck, the Damned Yankees may win the World Series. They won't win because of their money bought all the talent. They spent close to $200 million to sign their ace pitchers, Sabathia & Burnett, and the liar, Texeira. These guys contributed to the Yankees winning the AL pennant.They won't win because of their veterans. Derek Jeter, Alex Rodriguez, Andy Petitt, and Mariano Riviera are future Hall of Famers who are the best playing the game right now.They may win it for one simple reason. The Curse on Mike Mussina has been lifted. Mike Mussina was a Baltimore Oriole before he signed on with the New York Yankees in 2000 off season. He was the O's ace, a position he never attained for the Yankees. When he left, it broke a lot of fans hearts. And we cursed him and the Yanks. He made it to two World Series (2001 & 2003). He lost. He lost out to the Red Sux as they sucked their way back into baseball posterity. The Yankees lost with him in their rotation. Now he's not there. They may win the World Series.

The One

Congratulations are in order to the Philadelphia Phillies on clinching the National League Pennant last night with a win at home. They beat @Alyssa_Milano's Los Angeles Dodgers. Are they the One? Can they beat those damned Yankees.I used to be rooting for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, but they probably won't make it past the most hated Yankees. The Angels need to extend the ALCS though and win the next two which would be awesome, but they won't. They've been playing with trepidation since winning the divisional round over the wack-ass Boston Red Sux, and losing two extra inning games do not help. They are shell-shocked, and can only hope to keep the series respectable. Good luck to them tonight. I'll be rooting, but not too hard.As for the Phillies, they look invincible as they pounded the dodgers. What is awesome is their starting pitching which looks formidable. They may have enough strong arms to keep the Yankee juggernaut bats at bay. The Yankees starting pitching doesn't look as good. I can only think of two starters, and both are unimpressive. CC Sabathia, while having a very good second, can revert to the struggling son of a bitch that the Orioles beat in the season opener. They Yankees will have to rely on their bullpen that is pretty strong, and that Mariano Rivera son of a bitch. He's part of my most favorite of Yankees moments, as he blows a save in 2001, the last time the most hated Yankees were in the World Series. Loved it. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.The Phillies will try to defend their champion status. They were part of the last memorable World Series for me, Toronto versus Philadelphia in the 1993 World Series. That was a great one with Joe Morgan winning the sixth and decisive game on a walk off homer. But there were the nail biters whenever "Wild Thing" came up. And there were characters with Philadelphia's John Kruk. It was great to watch that series. I remember rushing home just to see the games.The Phillies were also the last team that our beloved Baltimore Orioles beat in a post season. The won it all 25 years ago! The Orioles haven't been to the post season since 1997 when they choked up a dismal performance to the Cleveland Indians. Hopefully, sometime soon, the Orioles will be playing for a playoff spot, and hopefully, sometime soon, yours truly would be going to a World Series in Baltimore.As @Alyssa_Milano would say, "Peace, love, and baseball."

Funny article about Red Sox fans finding Anaheim standium unfriendly.

Cry me a river.

That’s what happens when you think RedSox Nation extends anywhere you’re at. Fuck those Red Sux fans. That how it should be. Now, if only the Orioles (and their fans) could do this I would be happy.
