    Phil Cuzzi made one of the great all-time blunders last night... the most famous is which 'never get involved in a land war in Asia'.

    Meanwhile, in the deep shadows of an underground parking garage, Cuzzi slips into the back of a Lincoln Town Car. In the driver's seat is Tim Donaghy, who is attempting to jump-start his new life as best he can.

    In the back seat, Bud Selig's face appears out of the wavering fluorescent shadows as he hands Cuzzi a nondescript envelope.

    "Job well done, son."

    Cuzzi blew the call twice. Not only did it land fair but the ball also nicked Cabrera's glove on the way down while he was in fair territory..

    @Josh Lanier: I've watched GameDay every week and Corso has shown no mental deficiencies that weren't there before the stroke.

    He is slurring everything today, and physically cannot pronounce the word "Florida".

    I know Deadspin isn't necesasrily the proper forum for this, but I just need to rant here for a second, forgive me: As a Twins fan, I don't care one bit that they completely blew this call. This team left 17 runners on base this game, including loading the bases with no outs after the blown call. If you can't get some runs across the plate with that kind of help (they outhit the Yankees in BOTH games so far!), than you don't deserve shit. This was textbook Twins/Yankees playoff baseball, and I wasn't surprised by a single minute of it. And to beat one more dead horse (which has long since decomposed and is now sprouting a young sapling), how can anyone actually root for this Yankees team? How is it even enjoyable to watch what is essentially a bunch of other teams' all stars just barely beat a team of glorified AAAers, time and time again? They should really be winning these games 17-2, and yet people still pay small fortunes to watch it happen, and cheer like they deserve it. It must be a miserable existence. I'll take my game 163 victory (bad call and all), call it a season, and have pride in a team that actually manages to overachieve once in a while, as frustrating as it may be.

    Jays won 86 games last year, 83 in 2007 and 87 in 2006, playing in the AL East. I'm pretty sure they would have contended in the Central in some or all of those years.

    What? Why are you guys so quiet? I didn't get the note that we were all supposed to bring knives.

    So we've got a full day of college football, more playoff games, and if you behave yourselves—maybe some WNBA talk.

    Not to mention the unwatchable US-Honduras match that may put us into the World Cup!

    Seriously though - is there any chance of there being a decent feed available somewhere?

    Okay, I gotta admit, even though I've lived in Minnesota for 30 years now, I'm still a member of the Red Sox Nation, but this thing about out of towners always going to the Strib as the Paper of Record in the Twin Cities has got to friggin' stop. The sports page of the Pioneer Press, the St. Paul paper, is better written then that tabloid like gazette across the river.
