[Poll #851594]
Yeah, the options are ticky boxes because quite frankly, I can't decide how I feel about it from one minute to the next.

July 11, 2006 - Jeff Weaver Strikes Out All 27 Batters In National League Debut
“That was the best pitching performance I’ve ever seen,” said Ensberg, who struck out 3 times. “He struck everybody out. We didn’t have a chance. I can’t believe he had a 6.29 ERA in the American League. Damn, those must be some good hitters. What the hell are we doing wrong? Then again, is it something that we’re not doing? Something that would enhance our performance somehow? I think you know what I’m talking about, don’t you? I’m talking about extra batting practice. It can’t hurt.”
October 10, 2006 - New York Media To Take Over Day To Day Operations Of Yankees
When informed of the change in leadership, many Yankee players and coaches were uneasy.
“The media is taking over?” asked a concerned Alex Rodriguez. “You mean, like, the Post and the Daily News and stuff? Oh, I see. They’re not too fond of me. I think they’ve been a little disappointed in my performance. I guess the only thing I can do now is execute my no-trade clause and torture those fuckers for another year. Hah. Payback’s a bitch, assholes.”
October 17, 2006 - Tigers Grudgingly Delay World Series Parade Until After World Series
Since winning the AL wild card, the Tigers have met little resistance on their march to the World Series. Now, as they await the winner of the NLCS series, some members of the team are getting restless.
“Come on. Can we just get this shit over with and have our parade?” asked centerfielder Curtis Granderson. “I’ve already got my speech ready. I’ve even worked out a couple of dance moves. We could probably squeeze this thing in before the NLCS is even over. Oh, I know. There’s a [possibility] we could lose the World Series. There’s a possibility that a safe could fall on my head, too, but that doesn’t mean I’m not going to leave the house.”
October 17, 2006 - A's Lose Four Straight In Raucous, Fun-Loving Fashion
From Game 1 to Game 4, the A’s partied hard and lost convincingly.
“You know, this is just the loosest clubhouse I’ve ever been in,” said catcher Jason Kendall. “Even after we lost the first game, we were hanging out in the clubhouse drinking beer and listening to Nickelback. The next day, we went out there with our crazy hair and tattoos, ready to do battle, and lost again. Then we lost two more. It doesn’t matter, though. The Tigers may be going to the World Series, but I bet they’re a little bit jealous of our looseness.”
And with the Series going back to St. Louis, and given Cliff Floyd's recent comments, this one from October of last year - Adorable Cardinals Fans Actually Think They’re Intimidating.
“Those fans are a lot of fun. I wish I could play here,” said pitcher Roy Oswalt. “It seems like every one of them is a cute little old lady or an adorable little kid. Sometimes when I’m playing somewhere like Philly, I get batteries thrown at me. Nobody in St Louis throws batteries at you—except for that one time when I was sitting in the bullpen and I announced that my iPod was out of batteries, and somebody threw me a couple to help me out. That was nice, especially since they went through the trouble of enclosing them in a soft, knitted cover so they wouldn’t hurt my hands when I caught them.”

Tragedy. A plane carrying Yankees pitcher Cory Lidle and his instructor crashes into a New York apartment building. Investigators said the accident could have been avoided if Alex Rodriguez had been flying the plane; he hasn't hit anything in months.

Roy in St. Louis woulda been insanely wrong. Failure to compute, cause an aneurysm at the sight of it wrong.

roy is unbelievably funny, from what i've gathered. sarcastically, mostly, but isn't that the best kind? and roy in st. louis would put him just behind jeff kent. and that's bad.

I'm probably missing a couple of subtle things in between, but for the most part I had to smile when reading the excerpts from the 'Brushback' articles. It probably helps that I'm impartial. :).
