22-0, that’s fucking disgusting. They should be ashamed of themselves. They’ve tied the WORST record since 1900.
The pitching staff is fucking LAME.
Christ all mighty, they had a 10.5 game lead over the BoSux and that’s dwindled down to 3.5 games. FUCKING PATHETIC.
I feel sick thinking about it.

OK, so I lied yesterday when I said I’d put up something. Anyways, here it is. A day later and a dollar short.
A while back some lady claimed that there was a mouse in her soup at her local Cracker Barrel. Being the good American she is she promptly sued them. Cracker Barrel wouldn’t rest until it found the truth, well it looks like they did. Read Below
Woman Accused of Mouse Soup Stunt
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. (AP) — A woman who claimed she found a mouse in her soup while celebrating Mother’s Day at a Cracker Barrel (search) restaurant was accused with her son of planting the rodent and attempting to extort money from the company.
Carla Patterson, 36, and Ricky Patterson, 20, were charged Tuesday with attempted extortion and conspiracy to commit a felony as they sought money from Cracker Barrel, said Howard Gwynn, the commonwealth’s attorney in Newport News.
Patterson claimed she had already eaten some of her vegetable soup when she scooped up the mouse on May 8, the day before Mother’s Day (search).
The discovery prompted the 500-store chain to stop serving vegetable soup nationwide, but a company investigation discovered the mouse did not originate from the Cracker Barrel kitchen.
“We learned that the mouse died from a fractured skull before it entered the soup,” Cracker Barrel spokeswoman Julie Davis said. In addition, the animal had no soup in its lungs, nor had it been cooked — signs it had been dropped in the soup after its death, she said.
The company took its suspicions to prosecutors last week.
Patterson and her son had sought $500,000 from Cracker Barrel, Davis said.
Three Virginians who had fortune cookies for dessert at Chinese restaurants they visited used the numbers they received to win $175,000 each in the July 27 Mega Millions drawing.
Sandra Howell of Moneta, Kiry Enn of Richmond and Raymond Sawyer of Chesapeake held three of seven tickets that were good for the second-place prize. The tickets matched the first five Mega Millions (search) numbers, missing only the Mega Ball number.
It’s the first time eating Chinese has paid off to that extent, according to a Virginia Lottery spokesman.
“We’ve heard of people using numbers from a fortune cookie, but never three big winners in one drawing,” said John Hagerty, the spokesman.
The five numbers in the drawing were 08, 10, 11, 13 and 24. The Mega Ball number was 46.
The phone rang at 3 a.m. Saturday morning. The caller ID displayed a friend’s number, but he was out of town.
That’s when Liz Szefcyk of Amherst, Ohio, knew something was wrong.
It turned out a drunken burglar at the friend’s house had accidentally dialed Szefcyk’s number.
“That guy must have been fumbling around in the dark and hit the redial button,” John Szefcyk, Liz’s husband, told the Lorain, Ohio, Morning Journal.
Liz Szefcyk thought it was strange that the couple’s friend, Victor Wnek, would be calling, since he’d told John Szefcyk he’d be spending the weekend in Pennsylvania.
Plus, there was no voice on the line — just strange sounds.
“I could hear this noise going on,” Liz Szefcyk told the newspaper. “There was a rattling of papers, doors closing.”
John Szefcyk drove down to Wnek’s house to check it out.
“I happened to see someone standing in a landscaped area with a backpack on,” he recalled. “I said, ‘Well, what’s this?’”
Liz Szefcyk called the cops, who asked her husband where he’d seen the man.
“We went over there and there he was, passed out in the grass,” John Szefcyk said.
Duane Meiser Jr., 19, a neighbor of Wnek, was arrested and charged with burglary, underage consumption, disorderly conduct by intoxication and having an open container.
Amherst police Sgt. Mark Cawthon said Meisner admitted breaking into Wnek’s house and drinking alcohol there. His backpack was full of bandages, beef jerky (search) and crackers, all apparently taken from the house.
“That’s what has us puzzled; there were other items worth taking,” Cawthon said. “When we went to check [the house] out, we had a hard time telling if anyone had even been in there.”
