Last night, I was hanging' with the boys at the Elder Estate and you couldn't have asked for a better lineup of televised sports. Four college football games including the LSU-Florida classic, the NLDS game threes, and the Wild versus the hated Blue Jackets. Needless to say, the remote was in play early and often.
The best result of the evening was seeing OUR Colorado Rockies send the Phillies packing. Once again, a former Twin played a key role as JC Romero gave up the what turned out to be the winning run in the bottom of the eighth. With Romero and Kyle Lohse on the roster, the Phils never really had a chance.
Almost as sweet was watching the precious Cub fans wailing and gnashing their teeth as their squad once again failed in the clutch. You might say it was double the pleasure (pun most definitey intended). After the Yankees and Red Sox, there's isn't a group of fans that I enjoy seeing in agony more than Cubs supporters. There's just something about their cloying pretense of the Cubs being the lovable underdogs and bad luck losers that just annoys the heck out of me. The Cubs are just as much big-market big-spenders as the Yankees and Red Sox. They're just not usually as good at it.
Still room on the bandwagon. Go Rockies!
