You need to have a haiku contest to win them.

The collapse they've made is one of the great late season collapses of our time. It's one thing to get outplayed down the stretch, but another to simply capitulate and slide right out of it, like Cinderella turning into a pumpkin right there before your eyes.

Those are neat. And, they end in a timely fashion, unlike M's games, which seem to go on and on and on and on.

Kinda sick to watch. I haven't given up on the M's; they still have to find a way to make something useful out of their predicament - they still have to play the games.

Plus, way to kill your fan base off at the beginning of football season .

I'm saving my game-attendance gumption up for what's REALLY gonna happen this week: The arrival of the always derided Devil Rays. How sick could it get? I'll be there.
