(We now turn to baseball legend Tommy Lasorda for his 2009 Playoff preview!)How sweet it is! The fruits of victory! After a down spell that I'd like to chalk up to boredom, the Dodgers won the National League West for the second year in a row. That's right! The last time that happened, I was the manager. It's been a while, but it feels good!
Before I get to my thoughts on the Cardinals, I'd like to congratulate the Giants on a fine year. What? They didn't make the playoffs? Typical. The Cards can give us some hits...a bunch of young guys that can hit well. Pooholes, Schumaker, Holliday. Kind of like us. And, like us, they've got a couple good starters, but whoever they're going to start third...I'm not scared. When it comes to an even match-up, I'll take the Dodgers. They win close games. They come from behind and take the win from the other team. We play 'em even on the road, and we've got it.
Ah, thank you, honey. That's my beautiful wife, handing me another glass of my sensational wine. Remember what the sommelier said: "If rubies had flavor, this is what it would taste like."
Now, I know this is a "blog" about the Minnesota Twins, so let me congratulate them as well. The way they showed grit and guts over this past month to get into the playoffs is tremendous! And to that point, I want to speak to the fucking writers of this site. After my last post, I was reading one from some guy named Drew Barreiro, and he's saying the Twins don't "deserve" to make the playoffs. What is this horseshit? Let me tell you boys something: You deserve what you get. And I don't give a fuck what you get...if you get it, you deserve it, one way or another.
You know who deserved to win the World Series in 1983? The fucking Dodgers, that's who. But, the Wheeze Kids were the better team in the NLCS...I guess. The better team wins the fucking games, because even those who are favored have to live with the fact that they blew it. When you blow games the way Detroit did, you are no longer the better team. You don't deserve to win and go on to the playoffs.
I just ask for one favor. One thing...that's all I can ask of the Twins. Beat those fucking Yankees! Maybe tear up the locker room or something, I don't know. You do what you got to do. Those of you in Los Angeles, see you tomorrow night for game 1!

OK, we need to come up with some forewarning system. I can't take this. I was checking to see if there was another rant of sorts and I see this . . . and I can't stop looking at it. Please keep them coming.
