ACTOOOOOOBER

The playoffs are well underway, the Sox are up a game - it'd almost seem normal, were it not for:
  1. The Rockies being in the playoffs
  2. The Rockies being in the playoffs
  3. Enormous man eating insects descending on Cleveland
That's right, in the 8th inning young Joba Chamberlain blew the 1-0 lead for the Yankees due to swarms of bugs destroying his concentration. As you likely know, the Tribe went on to win, 2-0 in the 11th.

The Yankees are considering some uniform alterations for the next game:

133.5*

During Sackfest '07, in between Osi Umenyiora sacks 19 and 20, Michael Strahan managed to beat long-time rival John Runyan around the corner and take down Donovan McNabb.

This was his 133.5th sack, which broke Lawrence Taylor's record for Giants franchise sacks. LT was, coincidentally, an honorary captain for the Giants today. LT was seen smiling on the sideline afterwards, but upon closer inspection it is evident that he was talking about how he was going to kill Strahan. And something about cocaine.

Now, Strahan is a great player and he's had a Canton-worthy career. However, the NFL did not count sacks as an official stat during LT's first season. It is conservatively estimated that he had 9.5 sacks that year. Gaptooth McTootherson is not going to have 9 more sacks in his lifetime unless he decides to tear up a youth flag football league. And I've heard that it's really hard to get sacks in flag football, so he might have to play 2 or 3 years.



So I for one think its clear. Someone has to purchase the gameball from that play, brand it with an asterisk, and send it to Canton. Or outer space, either will do. Mark Cuban, I'm looking at you to make this happen.
