Atlanta fans stand up and do that stupid "chop" and they've all got these vacuous looks on their faces, arms pumpin' like a talking Reagan doll.

26. Dammit all
I was hoping they could get Eric Idle to throw out the first pitch. Occasionally the LA Times prints scathingly sardonic letters to the editor from an Eric Idle in Los Angeles, and they are reliably anti-Bush and anti-Iraq war. It HAS to be him. :D

27. He was on Teevee's Craig Ferguson last night
Said he doesn't go out much, just stays home and writes.

Now I wanna get a job in op-ed at the Times so I can be the one to call Idle to verify that he wrote the letter. I'd ask him if he's ever gonna write one entirely in anagram. :D

9. Well....when the guy announces the team, doesn't he always say....

So, they must be mine. Right?

16. Oh, 'we' is fine
Preferred, even. Shows y'got team spirit.

Remember the "Cheers" intro? Photo of a bartender holdin' up the front page of the Boston Globe (I guess) with a huge hed, "WE WIN," from the Sox' 1967 pennant.

I love that. :D

22. One for each league!
Which is why I claim ownership in the Mariners, as long as they stay in the inferior American League. :D
