I’d just like to point out, for fellow jazz fans, that Ian Desmond’s walk up song was “Take Five” by the Dave Brubeck Quartet. The saxophonist who played that memorable riff in 1959 was Paul Desmond. Whatever we’re paying the organist, double it.

The fact that one of the FOX commentators sounds vaguely like Harry Shearer is distracting me to no end.

But I do enjoy the faux-dramatic cuts to various players sitting in the dugout. Is Diaz the father of Tina’s baby…or is it LaRoche? And will Brian snap out of his amnesia in time for Chipper’s bar mitzvah?

I’m torn. I hate the Dodgers on principle, of course, but now I hate the Rockies, too. And I really despise Tulowitzki’s face. Its very existence defies everything I hold dear.

hahaha

I don’t like him either, but Tulo is a beast. Kinda like Matt Kemp and Andre Ethier.

To be honest, I really don't care if the Braves are not in them!

I’m just glad they haven’t lost so we can’t keep saying “if only” about these last games.

Can’t stand Manny but I do like the Dodgers. My dad grew up a Brooklyn fan so we both still like them a bit.

I saw her during the game, and she looked bored as heck, as if thinking, let this fiasco be over, so I can

At this point I fear we’re going to end the year with 6 losses in a row at home.
4 to the Nationals – being swept.

NOTHING can make me feel better about that.
