Last night, while watching the Phillies in the World Series, I was annoyed by the constant negative commentary and criticism of my team by Fox Sports announcer, Joe Buck. He continually poo-pooed the Phils very early on in the game (say, around the 2nd or 3rd inning) because they were leaving men stranded on base. Nonetheless, their pitching and fielding up to that point (and for most of the rest of the game) was right on target.

Sure enough, the Phils came charging back and not only brough men in off base, but also smacked a few single homers *just because they could*. The Phillies DOMINATED the game, winning 10-2. By the end, Buck, aka, Joe The Bummer, appeared incredulous, being forced to acknowledge that after the rhythm of the game got going, (and dont forget - they were up past 2 am the night before in a game!) the Phils demonstrated why they were on the road to World Champion (fingers crossed!!!!)
