Yep.

Especially since it is now known that the Twins will not win 3 games.

Now with 100% more Canuck.

You have to be an absolute moron to not understand this.

So, when do our playoffs start?

Always interpreting the wrong question for your amusement.

Let me be direct, and perhaps you can do the same – if the Sox are not in the playoffs, are you still planning to come to Tampa for the Rays’ playoffs? I think it is marvelous you have secured an option for tickets to a potential 5th game but I’m trying to get them for a guaranteed game (namely, Friday).

Just askin’.
