Well, it's official. The baseball season is finally over. The motherfuckin' Phillies actually won the World Series -
Jesus that's hard to say. Anyway, who'd a thunk such a crazy thing would happen? I mean, the next thing you know we're going to have a black President. Oh wait...
I know the Agent hasn't posted on this blog in ages. I want to apologize to the four people that used to read my whiny, hypocritical rants. I promise you at least one more because I don't know where this blog is headed. After all, Billy Penn lost last night. So where does that leave this blog?
Before Philly wakes up hungover and hits the net for substance on last night's triumphant victory this morning, I wanted to sneak in a few of my thoughts on the Series...
WINNERS:Cole Hamels - well played, sir. Mr. MVP, I can't express how badly I wish you were an Oriole. You made every hitter in October your bitch and you won the Series by dominating Game 1 in Tampa.
Shane Victorino - Key hits, good hustle. You're officially the new David Eckstein, which is really as back-handed of a compliment as you can get.
Ryan Howard/Chase Utley - Philly needed some HRs from you two if they were going to win and you delivered. By the way, take this off season to learn to go the other way with consistency and you both become that much more dangerous. I would be embarrassed if teams shifted that much when I stepped to the plate.
Pat Gillick - I told you to grab C.C. Sabathia at the deadline, you didn't and still won the World Series. I'll let you make me look dumb once. Once...
Scott Shields - Fuck you're good. Kazmir used to be the ace, you own him now. You're like the right-handed less white trashy looking version of Mr.MVP, but not quite as good. I'd still take you over him in a fight though.
Joe Blanton - Philly needed one other starter to step up and we all knew it wouldn't be the wife beater. Your fat-ass rose to the occassion and even hit a bomb, although it was off Sonnanstine's sorry ass so it barely counts.
Carl Crawford - It was nice to see you in the post-season. You've been a beast for some time now, just wasting away at the Trop. Unsurprisingly, you had a nice Series. You're still young. You'll be back again.
JC Romero - Hey, two wins in the World Series has to earn you a spot here.
David Price - Handled the big stage well considering you were drafted last year. You're gonna be a baller.
LOSERS: Andy Sonnanstine - Seriously dude, hang more fucking sliders.
Evan Longoria - Not the best series, in the field or at the plate. I wouldn't worry about that if I were you. I would be more concerned with the fact that you should be making more money over the next few years. That contract you just signed? Yeah, that's gonna be a bit small for the numbers you will be putting up.
BJ Upton - I don't know who helped the Phillies more, you or Blake DeWitt. Both of you love grounding into double plays when your team needs you most. However, you did murder the Red Sawx so I still love you.
Joe Maddon - How the fuck did you win Manager of the Year? You make the worst bullpen choices evAr. Stop putting JP Howell in at key moments in the game!! You're lucky you don't manage in NY, LA or any other respectable city. They would have your fucking head.
Kim Meyers - I'm sorry sweetie. I'm sure when Brett got back to Philly after game two it was a long night. Not to mention, you probably wore a bottle of champagne across the face last night. We all know it was an accident.
Brad Lidge - Sorry man. I know you were perfect and all, but I can't stop thinking about Pujols almost placing you in a mental institute a few years back. Not to dwell on the past, but has that ball even landed yet?
The City of Philadelphia - You're all still losers, congrats you classless loyal bastards.
