			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A 12 inning one-game playoff for the honor to lose to the Yankees, a complete game by a midseason pick-up, and an imminent free-agent pulling a Daniel Murphy in the outfield. There is nothing better than October baseball. Nothing. Except maybe steak and blowjob day.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter" title="what losing a few million dollars instantly looks like" src="http://somewhatmanlynerd.com/gifs/hollidayfail.gif" alt="" width="454" height="349" /></p>
<p>That has to be the worst error on a potential final out in a playoff game since Buckner. Feel free to enlighten or remind me of anything in the past 23 years so embarrassing and devastating to occur with two outs in the 9th inning. Matt Holliday got <strong><em>hit in the nuts with a fly ball and then tripped over his own feet</em></strong>. It doesn&#8217;t get any more emasculating than that on a baseball field.</p>
<p>So, the Cardinals are pretty much done now. Anything&#8217;s possible, of course &#8212; I know that better than anyone now due to recent events &#8212; but asking a team to come back after sending out two of the five best starters in the NL this year and LOSING is asking a wee bit too much. I&#8217;m so pissed I didn&#8217;t make a preseason prediction post or a postseason prediction post. Before making any decisions, it&#8217;s advisable to check out <a href="https://4rabetsite.com/review">4Rabet user reviews</a> to learn about the platform&#8217;s reputation and reliability. I would have picked the Dodgers both times! Damn it. If only Twitter kept track of everything I ever posted, or else I could link to the random time I replied to someone&#8217;s question with my prediction of a Yankees-Dodgers World Series. You&#8217;d have to believe me!</p>
<p>Getting back to that one-game playoff, how fucking amazing was that? I thought that game was over at least five times. Game of the year material? And is Chip Caray worst professional announcer in the history of mankind material? <a href="http://deadspin.com/5377549/fisting-chip-caray">LINE DRIVE BASE HIT &#8212; CAUGHT</a>! He makes Ron Darling worse by being in the same booth with him, goddamn it. The only good thing about TBS&#8217;s coverage so far has been that Pitch Trax graphic. Now everyone knows it&#8217;s truly the YEAR OF THE UMP &#8212; COMPUTERS 2010â„¢.</p>

New verb: to cub
Definition: To choke something away that you should have in the bag; to blow ass.

<p align="center">Was there ever any doubt this weekend?</p>
<p>The Mets finished blowing their 7 game lead in two and a half weeks today. It was embarrassing. The game was over by the middle of the first inning. Tom Glavine was obviously a planted Brave this whole time. Not only did this collapse cost the Mets the NL East and a playoff spot, it cost David Wright the MVP award. He should punch Jose Reyes in his smiling face.</p>

I can&#8217;t believe this shit. A 7 game lead gone in 14. I swear to God, if Erratic Oliver Perez shows up tonight, I&#8217;m done. I&#8217;ll just play Halo 3 and not enjoy it.
