Ok, I just found this site, the Brushback, the other day. Of course, you all probably already know about it. At least that’s how it usually goes. Anyway, I just wanted to say that I think it’s quite humorous … perhaps even eliciting a chuckle or two. It’s like the Onion but for sports (and yes, I know the Onion has a sports page now but it’s just not that funny).

Even if you don’t like sports (::cough:: Chuckles ::cough::), I think you may still enjoy some of the articles up there. Now that the baseball season is over (for me at least …) I’ll have to find something else to do to fill up my time. Maybe the Brushback can start to fill that void.

Or perhaps I’ll just invest all of my emotional attachment in my second-favorite team: the Chicago Bears … nothing can go wrong there, right?

If you go visit the SI home page now you’ll see that front in center is the baseball story that should have been there all day. I also received an email from them that I’ll copy and paste below:

Dear Mr. Nachos,

Thank you for pointing out our lunacy. We realize now that it was dumb of us to post football info all during the day even though nothing will change with that sport until um, Sunday we guess. We are going to be rectifying the problem and putting up actually pertinant baseball stories/information in the near future so please come by and check it out.

Again, we apologize for being giant bags of chipotle chicken and will try not to let it happen again.

Hugs and kisses,
xoxxooxxoox

Anyway, Game time is now less than 4 hours away. Can you feel it? I said, CAN YOU FEEL IT?!?!

Ok, I’m confused here … I just watched one of the most amazing comebacks in a game in baseball history with Albert Pujols 2-out 3-run home run in the top of the 9th on Monday. On the brink of elimination from the playoffs, the Cardinals managed a miraculous comeback to force a Game 6 in the National League Championship Series.

That Game 6 occurs tonight. Hmmm, I wonder what we should talk about sports writers? Wait, I know, let’s talk about … football? WTF?!

I know it’s kind of old hat to say that the NL doesn’t get any love from sports or network coverage (and it’s quite true) but to not see a single article about the Cardinals-Astros game tonight seems a little ridiculous. I mean, should a story about the Broncos really be your main story right now?

Whatever, this is just ridiculous though. Screw you Sports Illustrated … at least ESPN knows to talk about it on their front page … if only it wasn’t that annoying guy, Jayson Stark that was writing the story [Update] and screw you ESPN … I’m sure the NBA dress code is a huge deal wah wah wah! All you sports sites can go have a picnic somewhere without me! [/Update] Oh well, Game 6 is only 9 4.5 hours away …
