Oh and before I forget -- this has to have been one of the most tedious postseasons in SELIGISM's tawdry history, with short series and many one-sided games, and the championship averaging nearly four hours a night, and the constant delays on the mound. I don't care what BUD and SLIME and Nielsen say (and I'm convinced that last party has cleverly tweaked its ratings as they're showing absurd increases across the board -- we know how the ad buyers are dancing a jitterbug over the PLUS-THREES); the "sport" won't have its Boss-Tweed George to protect it every year.

And now we Philthydelphians, seeing the fairy dust turn to ashes, must confront the reality of a transit strike that may not end soon, a slow-motion disaster that spits in the face of civic pride, and exposes the morons who insist civic pride is a good -- like EDDIE.

One nice thing for me -- no Blutos outside my window...this year. It's a little sad hearing peace and quiet, but it's more than a little hair-tearing hearing Blutos. Honorary Mayor Mike can have them. He'll probably sleep through the disturbances, which we hope for New York's blameless millions are few.
