I have to go to school soon so I’ll miss most if not all of this game. Come on, Phillies.

Do not know what would be better:

Can’t we have both?

That’s not it. I’m way into politics - not just this but pretty much every election - but I come to McC to get away from all the election talk, because 24/7 of spin and polls is going to kill me.

ESPN doesn’t care about the Patriots or Giants. It’s all Cowboys. ESPNEWS’ breaking news is that Romo has asked to play Sunday. That’s breaking news?

The Denker bus is now bound for San Diego. Those who were passengers on it are now angrily stranded at a gas station in Modesto, CA. Not much about baseball here .
