Cleveland, You Have A Lot Of 'Splainin' To Do
WOW! Are they ever pissed and vicious in Clevland. I was damn sick of that white towel waving anyway. :rofl::rofl::rofl:



What they're saying in parents' basements everywhere about Boston's 11-2 win over Cleveland in the deciding game of the American League Championship Series ...

• With All Due Respect to Ryan Garko, Champagne Tastes Much Sweeter At Home. Of all the things I'll miss about the ALCS broadcast, one has got to be the frequent shots of Indians GM Mark Shapiro and his apparently Paxil-addicted trophy wife (pictured above). Every time the cameras caught these two, they were frozen in the exact same poses -- Shapiro furrowing his brow and reflecting on how he's gonna explain this latest collapse, and the missus looking glassy-eyed at nothing in particular, her thoughts likely shifting between, "If we lose, will we have to sell the hovercraft?" and "Man, do I like vanilla."

1. Now Submariner, why do you feel the need to mock
the obvious crushing disappointment of Cleveland, complete with a comment about the physical appearance of the GM's wife?

I would think Red Sox fans like yourself would be a little more humble in victory, considering your franchise/fans are certainly no stranger to the agony of defeat.

2. It's all very simple for a DU'er

I should have 'splained myself better.

The Blue state baseball team crushed the Red "election-stealing" state baseball team. This has nothing to do with traditional baseball rivalries and disappointments I'm all too familiar with.

I just revel in Red state agonies however I can get them, and this crush fest is as good as any. If you're a Democrat in Ohio, I feel for you, but to the rest of the right wing neocon Clevelanders, I enjoy your pain.

And the Paxil comment came from a Cleveland writer. They're eating their own.
