Glad we're debating who it's OK to root for.

Who would of thought it would be this offense that would finally light up Verlander? I sure didn't.

So now it's two top-half payrolls that makes your argument?
First it was BASEBALL TEAMS BUY THE PENNANT!! Now it's WELL, THOSE IN THE TOP HALF DO!!!!
I bet you didn't complain when the Raiders (10th in payroll) played the Bucs (11th in payroll) in the Super Bowl following the 2002 season, or when the Eagles (2nd in payroll) made the Super Bowl after the 2004 season, or when the Seahawks spent AN NFL-HIGH $100 MILLION to lose the Super Bowl to the Steelers (10th in payroll) last year.
FACT: MLB will have seven champs in seven years. Since 2001, the 12 spots in the World Series have been filled by 10 different teams. Only the Yankees and Cardinals have made multiple trips to the Series.
The NFL has one three-time champ and 8 teams in 10 Super Bowl spots in the last six years and it's an example of all that is right. Funny how that works.
(ahh yes that felt good...was pissed I missed the Yankees' exit and a chance to further prove my points about competitive balance)

Whomever that woman was who tried to show off during God Bless America and had it blow up in her face should be
A - taken under the stands and clubbed like the whale she is...
B - forced to listen to Kate Smith sing it right for 3 weeks straight.

What's worse is the PA announcer said before she came out, "We are very proud of our musical history here in Detroit, so to honor that here is (a finalist from a past American Idol)!" Are you kidding me? That is the best they could do?

I ****ing hate, hate, hate the singing of GBA at every ****ing national TV game now. It's an unnecessary show of faux-patriotism that should have ended after the 2001 season did.
Play the National Anthem before the game, play Take Me Out to the Ballgame at the stretch. There's your ******* American tradition. ;D
(Besides, "America the Beautiful" is a much, much, much better song. If you want to wave the ****ing flag, play that one. Just don't stop the game for it.)

It was either her, Kid Rock or Ted Nugent.
I'll take Kid Rock over the Nuge.
And, basically, **** the national anthem before games. What does it have to do with anything? I don't need some false patriotism shoved down my throat -- and never have, no matter what's going on in the world. It's more bull****, just like everything else in this PC world, where appearance matters more than substance. It's played before every game in every sport now because no owner wants to be accused of being unpatriotic, like playing it has ANYTHING to do with being patriotic -- you know, like voting your conscience, participating in this democracy, standing up for what you believe no matter your political slant.

Game over. Series over. Franchise over.
Joe Morgan was beyond horrible on the radio broadcast. Jon Miller mentioned a Washington Post column claiming the Cards were the worst World Series team ever. Morgan went on a never-ending rant about why that couldn't be true.
Then he started saying Miller had said something that he hadn't -- something about the Cardinals being below .500. They're in the World Series, Joe.
The guy is knocking loudly at the door that gets him a -tard suffix after his name.

As a matter of fact, the worst team in World Series history was, if talent is the guide, the 1906 White Sox. How bad did a lineup have to be in the dead ball era to be known as the Hitless Wonders? Nobody hit back then except Cobb and Wagner.
Of course, they won that Series.

Maybe I work at a Spanish-speaking paper and English is my second language. Ever think of that?
P.S.: I did say "Would of." Count it as part of the youth of America destroying the language.

Next time she should just sing it as it should be instead of trying to put her own stamp on it for her girls. The answer is C beaten with a large race car track.markvid said:
