Best friends Brett Myers and Cole Hamels take time out from baseball to point fingers and celebrate America.

Were there threats to burn down Yankee Stadium leaving the bar last night? Absolutely. It’s still Philadelphia. It’d be all too easy to be angry, or vindictive, or tell a rambling story about my childhood that loosely connects to the game.

Dear Brett Myers, You do realize we are in the midst of a World Series, yes? Actually, we’re in the middle of defending a World Series, and get this: it’s not going great. That’s why we’re a tad confused as to how you can begin to think it appropriate to call out one of our struggling starting pitchers in front of the press corps.

Chan Ho Park managed to hold a lead but allowed a run, and also spent, like, a full minute tying his shoe on the mound in the top of the 8th. It was almost as mystifying as Jorge Posada trying to call time out in the middle of a pitch.

Forget about any traumatizing encounters with teeth-bearing possum just outside your front door.
Because it’s Sunday, it’s another game, and the Vomitting Unicorn that was Game 3 is extinct.
