Our Other Favorite Sport
~~~
Yeah we know. Title of the blog implies stuff about the Washington Nationals. We get it; We're totally letting you down. But look at it from our pointy view. Our favorite team, the only team in the only sport that we really care about, has looked like a shellac-coated, corn-filled, burrito turd all season long. And we only care about them because it takes our minds off the fact that we're all going to die in some way that we probably would not have chosen for ourselves, sooner than we had in mind.*
Their last home game was canceled. Not postponed, canceled, with one L, because it totally didn't matter. Oh, and the rain was banging down like a light spring rain. Like an English rain, as Canadian heavy metal rock legends Rush once said. Only it wasn't in England, it was in DC. And it was neither light, nor spring. At this moment, they're playing up in Philly. That same raincloud has literally hung over the Nats and continues to pelt them. It's the top of the 5th, and these miserable bastards are losing 7-1. This game is going on, unlike last night's game, because the Phillies have a real team with a real chance. The thought creeps in; we're all going to die in some way that we probably would not have chosen for ourselves, sooner than we had in mind.**
Unless this Crapfest does something amazing by the 7th inning stretch, we plan to cut over to the 1st presidential debate at 9:00. At least in that sport, my team has a chance. Meantime, here's an important message to all our Jewish reader:
Bob Carpenter, the Nat's play-by-play dork just said, "Well, y'know that movie 'Kill Bill'? How about Kill the Phils."
Wow.
Is it over yet?

PS - If you ever play Sports Trivial Pursuit and they ask you who on the Washington Nationals was the first hitter to get his home run challenged and instant replay was used, tell them it was Kory Casto, hitting off Phillies relief pitcher Joe Blanton, on September 26, 2008.
Then point out that life is fleeting.***

I noticed that your Jewish reader have not commented yet.
You know, no one's going to understand, when they link to my blog, that I just discovered a couple days ago that "canceled" only contains one "L". I know mom and dad will just roll their eyes and comment on my atrocious spelling (by the way, guys, I totally blame you for sending me to that crappy school) but really, it doesn't make sense. It just doesn't.
