Been Down So Long

The San Diego Padres are the hottest team in the majors right now, having won nine consecutive games.

That's enough to get them... to .500, seven and a half games behind the Evil Blue Empire.

It won't last.

Define Evil Blue Empire. If by that you mean the Yankees, the name is appropriate. Then again, there's no way the Padres are behind the Mariners, let alone by that much, so never mind [g].

Define Evil Blue Empire.

The :spit: Los Angeles Dodgers. Them with their "bleed Dodger blue" and all.

Ah. You feel about them the way I felt about Purdue when I was attending Indiana University. "My favorite team is IU and anyone who beats Purdue."

Or, that disastrous Super Bowl several years ago when the Seahawks were forced to play against the refs as well as the Stealers.

My 2nd favorite football team will always be any team that beats the Stealers.

Here's hoping the Dodgers have a lousy season [g].
