Obama biro yawne yo! Obama biro yawne yo!

Obama is Coming! Clear the Way!

There is a Tide that is Turning here.

Among registered voters surveyed in Colorado, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Wisconsin and Nevada, Obama tops McCain 50 to 40%. Just a week ago, Obama led 45% to 42%.
And...

Rasmussen is closely mirroring the Research 2000 number for today: Obama 51, McCain 45.

The Map

Fired Up! Ready to Go!.

I have to be honest for a moment. It dawned on me, I mean really hit me the other morning, in Five Weeks From Today Barack Obama is going to win this thing in a landslide.

Five Weeks From Today, John McCain will be standing in front of literally dozens of people, giving a concession speech.

Five Weeks From Today Barack Obama will give the speech of his life.

Five Weeks From Today we will be on our way out of this mess.

Five Weeks From Today.

Define Irony

I love it.

It feels a little different this year. Last year the ship sprung so many leaks it seemed like every time they patched a hole, another one spung up.

One day it was the hitting, the next the starting pitching, the next the defense, the next the bull pen.

This year the Starting pitching was consistantly good, and every fifth day it was great.

The problem this September was two fold. An utter inability to hit in the clutch, combined with a bull pen that boasted not one consistant performer.


The Offense ground it's bats to saw dust in anxiety trying to tack on runs to support a bull pen full of arsonists.

The Arsonists could not hold a lead, no matter how big, to save their careers.

I honestly feel for Scott Schoeneweis. He had no business being on the mound yesterday facing a righty, and it was a good pitch. Helms just went down and got it.

But who exactly was the Gangsta going to go to. Luis Ayala? He tried that, Ayala relieved Bloweneweis only to give up another homer.

I think Manuel should be back next year. I am sure I will have more to say as time passes.

I am still excited for the playoffs. There are some good matchups. The Rays are a nice story. Manny and Torre tormenting Hank Steinbrenner is awesome.

If anyone should go, I think it should be Omar Minaya. He is the one who compiled this team around Pedro, Alou, Castillo, El Duque, Heilman, Shoewenweis, and the rest.

I would scrap the entire bull pen. Every guy can take a hike, keep perhaps Joe Smith and Brian Stokes.

I have a funny theory about what was wrong with this team, and it comes down to one position. I don't really feel like expanding on it now, but I think perhaps had this team had a long reliever in the bull pen, in the Darren Oliver mode, many of these guys would not have been over-used in blowout games in April, May and June, and could have perhaps had a few bullets left in thier guns. But what the hell do I know?

The Juice has been squeezed.

38-24 Penn State.

We are a legitimate threat for a National Title.

WE ARE

PENN STATE

Santana is Gangsta

Jerry Manuel summed it up when he said: "That was Gangsta"

With the Mets season on the line, elimination staring the Mets directly in the eye, Santana spat in the Marlins face.

9 Innning, 3 Hits, 9 Strike Outs, No Runs.

Johan Santana is a Gangsta. Period.

The Mets now hold their destiny in their own hands. Keep winning, and their in.

Gangsta

Sarah Palin is Awesome

McTemper

You listen to that closely, What was that Senator? What did you say there?

It sounded an awful lot like "Horse Shit" to me.
