April Fool

Moises Alou, I'm looking at you. Why, oh why, must you bring up the Bartman ordeal? Did he have the reaction of a guy who wouldn't have caught the ball? Not the way I remember it.

The point is, why are we talking about this now. It was 4 years ago, I think it's time to let go. Alex Gonzales was forgiven and forgotten, and he bobbled a ball that was in play.

And Moises, you're a Met now buddy. It's nice awfully nice of you to come out and defend Bartman. He probably really appreciates you bringing his name back in the limelight, reminding Cubs fans of their disdain for him. Maybe it's time to cut back on the interviews and get back to rehab. You know, maybe focus on this season instead of 4 years ago.

And one last thing Moises...

You would have caught that ball.

Michigan and the Phillies

Alright, actual baseball on Sportscenter this morning. Caught Jose's double and David's home run. For those of you who haven't seen this and would like to, here it is (not the Sportscenter clip, but it works). Also, the story about Billy wanting to bean the Michigan kid who tried to bunt on him. I'm so proud of Daddy Wags.

The Phillies become more and more laughable by the day. First, Little Jimmy Rollins tries to tell everyone he originated the term "team to beat." Then there's this post from yesterday on why the Mets are not the team to beat (and I hope an attorney at law would recognize he's plagiarizing Little Jimmy). Check out the comments as well, as they prove once and for all how much smarter Mets fans are than Phillies fans.

And here's today's Phillie Phoolishness. That's right, Philly.com did a writeup on how the Cubs have not won a World Series for 100 years. Isn't that just screaming "Yeah, we suck, but at least we haven't sucked as much as the Cubs!!!" Winning one World Series in your 125 year history apparently gives you the right to laugh at other teams failure to do so.

Don't worry Phillie fans. In 72 years when you have gone 100 years without a title, at least you can write about how the Cubs haven't won a Series in 172 years.
