The Mets lost again?

Yeah. But, um. Then, well, the Phillies. They don't even deserve a verb.

From Todd Zolecki's story in the Inquirer:

They led the NL wild-card race with eight games to play in 2003 but finished 1-7 to wind up far behind the Florida Marlins. They shared the wild-card lead with 16 games to play in 2005 but ended up one game behind the Houston Astros despite a 10-6 finish. They shared the wild-card lead with six games to play last season but went 3-3 to finish three games behind the Los Angeles Dodgers.

They have missed the playoffs by a combined four games in the last two seasons.


So they stay two back of the Mets, and are now one game back of the Padres because of course the Padres won last night and of course the Phillies, who tied for the Wild Card on Monday *without playing*, are now one-game behind the Padres.

Awesome.

Dear Commerce Bank Guy,

Oh no you didn't. No you didn't just wave a stupid effing Commerce Bank flier in our effing face when all we wanted was an effing bagel and effing coffee and to be effing left alone. We don't want your effing business. You represent one of like 18 banks in our effing town AND you replaced one of our favorite effimg bars with your big stupid red C'd building and plush parking. You're a white guy in a suit waving fliers and we almost punched you in the face. Do people really decide their financial futures based on Jimmy Stewart in a suit over there? Eff, no. But oh with the fliers. Rule of thumb: if we don't make eye contact, which annoys us because we *always* make eye contact, then don't come at us us with your effing flier. Keep it pocketed and don't be all up in our sh*t. Commerce Bank sucks, Commerce Bank Guy. Now choke on that, slapnuts. EFF.

There. All better.
