My ears may start bleeding



Because these two idiots are calling the Phillies/Nationals game on Fox today.

Soaking up some sun and resting for the stretch run

Some housekeeping items:

- The family and I are enjoying the beautiful Jersey shore this week, so there will be few, if any, posts forthcoming until the seventh or eighth. But there are a couple in the queue, including a glimpse of mrs. tmmullen's appearance on ESPN, so please keep checking back.

- Playoffs begin this week in most fantasy baseball leagues around the country and I'm happy to say that yours truly finished in first place in both leagues in which I participated. In addition to the "Regular Season Champions" hats and t-shirts, it also gave me a first-round bye in both leagues, which means I don't need to monitor my teams while I'm enjoying the late summer sun. For the record, Mike also participated in both leagues and I'll leave it to him to decide if he wants to tell you where he finished.

- Finally, as for the Phillies, sure, it was disappointing to watch them lose to the Nationals on Monday, but they went 7-3 over ten games against the Dodgers, Mets, and Cubs [and they could have very easily swept the Cubs] - so that's pretty good. Plus, while I'm very happy to be at the beach, if I wasn't here, I would have definitely been making a trip to DC this week, like I did for their September series there last year at RFK. To recap, the Phils are two back of the Mets with just under a month to go - so I'd say they've got them right where they want them.

That's it for now, but check back this week to see if Mike makes an appearance or to comment on one of the older posts. And I'll be thinking of you while I'm enjoying a cocktail by the pool!
