One baseball team did better than another team last night, in the hopes of winning a series of games against that other team. That eventuality would make that team the ultimate winner of the sport overall! A number of people are very exited about this, while others are sad. Those people will all be watching tonight, in what could be the final game of this series of games. Will it be? There is only one way to find out! Well actually two ways. You could watch yourself! Or you could just wait until tomorrow, when everyone will tell you about it, whether you could give two shits or not.

Uh, this little "series of games" is the WORLD series of baseball. It will determine who is the WORLD champion. And by WORLD, I mean a bunch of teams in the U.S. and one from Canada.
Poor Expos. They tried so hard.
Whether you care about baseball or not, you have to tip your cap to this NYPost lede: "The Yankees are nine innings away from returning to a place Derek Jeter and others firmly believe a season is a failure if they don’t."
Argh! I just twisted a muscle in my brain!
I SWEAR Alex Rodriguez wears lilac lipgloss.
I wish I was smart enough to post a picture, cause I'd post this, my favorite image of Slappy McBlueLips.

You and A-Rod share a deep and abiding love of the Finer Arts, you realize?
I honestly believe sports is a government plot to keep us all busy with bullshit while they rule the world. And don't get me started on the injuries that NFL players suffer so that we have something to watch and talk about while we pound beers. It's disgraceful that others have to suffer so much for our passing amusement. I feel the same way about child actors and singers, too.
I feel the same way about the novels of John Irving.
I came to the comments for an explanation of that wtfoto. So far, nothin'.
It's Alex and Alex in Chelsea.
seriously folks, WHERE DID THAT PICTURE COME FROM. is there a hidden captions tag, where the hidden article post title tag used to be?
Hidden caption: A SPORTS PLAYER. So very Choire.
Something about batting for the other team...?
The ads being served with this are hilarious: girleffect.org and what appears to be a My Little Pony/Little Red Riding Hood mashup.
The pic is a shame though. Choire, why'd you crop out most of joba chamberlain rubbing Hawaiian Tropic Body Gloss on arod's body?
Did anybody else see that rather droll comic in last week's N'Yorker? A cop is patting down a crook against an alleyway wall, and the caption is like, "Hey, you've got a lot of tension in your shoulders"
Anyway, I'm now going to 'Escape To IMVU...
I think Choire is just grasping, trying to relate somehow.
