Abe Sauer hates success.
Guess they were right about criminals wearing Yankee hats.
Also Abe, that picture is just mean. Come on. If you keep it up, I'll Photoshop Osama Bin Laden wearing a hat of your North Dakota Bumblefucks or whatever iceball teams you have up there.
This was my other option

Good lord. We almost elected this Janus-faced fence-sitter…
I saw "clinton" in the URL and expected to see Bill, but was disappointed when it was the other one. I don't hate Hillary, but I feel like that observation says something about me.
BTW I hated Bill when he was in office.
Just for the record, teams that made the playoffs this year, other than the Yankees:
• San Francisco Giants
• Minnesota Twins
• Atlanta Braves
• Tampa Bay Devils Rays
• Cincinnati Reds
• Texas Rangers
+ Philadelphia Phillies
Poor Twins and Reds barely got to play.
It should be noted that the only reason the Dodgers are on this list is because he's diverted most of the team's payroll to his divorce lawyers.
"He" being Frank McCourt.
It's a small compensation for the endless passive aggressive whining of Red Sox fans.
I blame John Updike.
WHOO-HOO! MY PHILS ARE THE ONLY PLAYOFF TEAM NOT ON THE LIST!!!!!
Ugh. Looking at the Phillies rotation, I'm forced to think "Wait, is this what people who hate my Yankees feel?"
FOR ONCE I FEEL LIKE THE OVERMAN!!!
Ugh. I have an ex who was a huge Astros fan. Way to trigger repressed memories.
(Yes, this is my special contribution to a sports post.)
Not that it'll ever happen, but there should be a salary-floor. Or the city of Pittsburgh should eminent-domain the Pirates.
and $18.5 million of that SF payroll isn't even on the playoff roster.
Haha. How's that Zito werkin' fer ya?
(Sorry, annoyed A's fan here.)
