It’s not like Finn is the only indie rocker to dig sports. It has kind of dropped off in his solo career, but Stephen Malkmus used to always pepper Pavement lyrics with sports snippets.

Hey, how about them Jays, people? I love how they decide to get good in the fall every year when it doesn’t matter anymore.

@LeBron: I think for those first three months alone, the guy doesn't deserve it. The Mets were an awful team. The Braves beat them in 7 out of their first 9 outings!

And Kent Hrbek is a cheat...need I remind everybody about when he pulled Ron Gant off the base in the World Series? On days like today, we should never forget.

If Delgado wins the MVP, which he could if they make the playoffs, it's probably the single greatest turnaround in baseball history. People forget about just how hopeless this guy was the first three months of the season. Lots of people wanted to release him! Imagine if they had, and the Yankees had picked him up and rode him to the playoffs? I mean, Mets fans already have a complex...

I’ve been a baseball fan for 20 years, and I’ve never met anyone who hated the Twins before. Yankees, Mets, Sox: sure. Congrats for teaching me something, Idolator.

To bring this back to music, I'm really enjoying The Baseball Project.[en.wikipedia.org]

Check it out if you like baseball history and Pete Buck, Scott McCaughey, Steve Wynn, and friends.

Am I on the right site? Does anyone have a Barbaro joke to make?

@natepatrin: Twins fans are literally the ONLY people who believe that. Even the announcers at the time were saying that the play was hinky. That's right. HINKY.

And so we are little Hitlers now? Kirby Puckett was a wife-beater and serial abuser and you guys worship him like a god.

And Lonnie Smith is going to hell for not rounding the bases.

@Big Gray.: Oh, shut up with your Gant Shot First garbage. Dude fell over, simple as that. Your tomahawk-Seig-Heiling Atlanta Braves won their (single solitary) World Series in '95, go be happy over that, why don't'cha. What, did Chuck Knoblauch cheat by dekeing Lonnie Smith outta his cleats, too?

America's team, my St. Paul ass.
