me: He's gone

He's gone, Ben
2:13 PM
Ben: DOC?

me: Yes

To Philadelphia

Ben: GAAHHH!!
2:14 PM
me: Fuck sports

Ben: Hold on now.

me: What's the point of ever getting involved in baseball again?

Seriously, what's the point?
2:15 PM
Ben: I'm finding something to corroborate your story.

me: http://www.overthemonster.com/2009/12/1 ... o-phillies

Also on cnnsi

I should have posted cnnsi first, instead of a shitty Sox blog

me: Ha, the Blue Jays play as many times in Colorado as the Phillies do, because of the unbalanced schedule, that has teams play everyone in their division 19 times.

What a terribly run abortion of a fucking "sport."

I can't fucking believe this shit
2:25 PM
Ben: We need to focus on the NFL.

me: Agreed.

Ben: That is a happier place.
2:26 PM
We could also focus on the NHL but you don't give a rat's anal gland about that.

me: I would like to get a Halladay Chinese knock-off jersey now.

I would enjoy the NHL if I had picked a better team to follow.

I sort of blew that for myself.
2:27 PM
Ben: Dammit.

me: I'm going to go mourn, brb.

Ben: We are sorry for your loss. Well, I am. I wouldn't bore Kathy with this on a bet.
2:46 PM
me: Thanks
2:50 PM
I'm calling for ownership to be executed for treason against the nation of Canada over at drunkjaysfans.com

2:55 PM
Ben: I will sign an online petition!

me: I don't want to seem like I am over-reacting, but, well
2:57 PM
Ben: You are a passionate Jays fan whose team has been ruined by what I am guessing is greedy, incompetent management!
2:58 PM
Is my guess!

me: It's true

Whoa

You're dead on, actually

management/ownership, yes

How did you -- ?!
2:59 PM
You have no idea how angry I am that I never saw him pitch in a Jays jersey.

Ben: VERY.
3:00 PM
me: Anyway

Ben: They've taken that from you.

Along with so much else.

When all you ever gave was your passion and loyalty.

You feel violated, is what you feel.

Right? VIOLATED!
3:01 PM
me: Raped

I don't want to oversell it though.
