Still In (and Out) of Contention
We're midway through October, and I'm actually amazed that we're still around and kicking. I can't say the same for the Dodgers, Yankees, or A's. Especially the A's. Their recent elimination after dropping the American League Championship Series in four straight games to the Detroit Tigers hit Moe Mack the hardest since Oakland is his favorite team. So, I can understand that he felt too depressed to submit that usually mandatory second article for this second edition of The Syndicate. Now if he used a lame excuse, like he had to attend a wedding, bar mitzvah, or funeral, then I would've put my foot into that slacker's end. But at least he was able to annoy one of my neighbors into revealing the possible existence of a national sports information insiders ring. It's all good "Triple P". My "2004 Bronze Medalists" will still take your "Punjab Poontang Poppers" to school this fantasy hoop season!As an avid Dodger fan, I had lot of time to get over my team's early and unceremonious departure from the 2006 baseball season. And apparently, Yankee fan Edward Fox did as well. This issue he describes his adventures at his local barber shop and expresses his desire to organize his life better via the start of his 'To Do List'. Perhaps, he should add "Learn to cut own hair" and "Prevent Derek Jeter from travelling on a plane" to the personal list.
All kidding aside, Frank D'Alessandro and I also jumped on the list bandwagon and proceeded to submit our own for your personal viewing pleasure. Did I mention that the Dodgers have been eliminated for a week? Now, I can make a better, more concentrated effort to fulfill the first item on mine ("Hint, hint", Cookie!). D'Alessandro (I wonder if that bastard's a Met fan) also went cross country to Providence, Rhode Island to cover the 5th Annual New England Pokemon Tournament at the local Toys 'R Us. FYI, Franky D advises anyone planning an East Coast jaunt to Boston should connect via Providence's airport since I it's far less hectic than connecting at Boston's Logan Airport. Thanks, Frank! Even if you're a no good weed-smoking Mets fan!
And last but certainly not least, Foxy's best pal/pimp Johnny Chingas decided to grace us with his presence with another edition of his Points of No Reason column. It seems like everyone and their grandmother has a MySpace nowadays. So, it shouldn't surprise me that a parrot would get one. Read the article and see what I mean. For that matter, read all the articles and see if I make better sense! See you next month!
