Alright so I skipped my complaining about baseball yesterday because there was a game on and it worked out in MLBs favor because I have one less thing to gripe about. Time Warner added WTBS's, the television home for this years divisional playoff series, High Definition channel. I was not too pleased thinking about watching it without. I know some of you, like Robbie, think that's goofy but when you are used to it you can't go back. Not too mention, THIS is why I bought the damn LCD television. Of course immediately after, that Friday actually, the Indians choked against KC and never caught the White Sox or the Wild Card team.Unfortunately, I didn't know about the new HD channel until today. If my TV was a little clearer maybe I could have helped Tim McClelland with the call last at home last night to end the game, and season for the Padres. Luckily I like sports, so I was still up watching it. Out or not it was awesome. As far as I'm concerned if the home team comes back from a two run deficit in the 13th inning they deserve that break. Especially since I was up to see it. And even more so when the guy who blew the save, Trevor Hoffman, was offered a contract from the Indians when he was a Free Agent and chose instead to take less money to stay in San Diego. Advice to Matt Holiday: next time go in feet first and power through the catcher's leg. Not only will you be safe, you will prevent the bruised chin and bottom lip filed with dirt.
Confession: the real reason I was still up was because I had just finished watching the MNF game, where Trolley Tom Brady out scored Texas Steer Carson palmer 19-9. For those of you who don't remember, I was trailing by ten, so that's right fantasy sports fans a second straight tie!!! Both ties were snatched from the jaws of victory by Rudi Johnson's hamstring. In the first tie he got injured early in his game providing only 4 points for me. In the second he forced me not only to go with 3 receivers, but his absence from the Bengals forced Palmer to throw more. We are now 2-0-2, and that is unfortunately our best start ever.
Back to my complaints and here is the big one: Why am I sitting here typing this when I should be watching the divisional series games. The playoffs are supposed to start Tuesday afternoon, instead here I sit typing crap no one really cares about because Law & Order isn't on yet. Serves Major League Baseball right, after a 13th inning come from behind season ending game, I bet a lot of people were fired up for more of the pastime today, instead they got...Dammit it's 4 straight episodes of Family Guy, I gotta go, Later.

From that view there is no way Holliday could have missed the plate, is there? It appeared to me that he had missed it. The real injustice is the pathetic unemotional call from the ump, after waiting 3 seconds, making Michael Barrett think he was going to tag him and prolong the game. That had to suck for the San Diego Dads fans. Go Rox
