The Final Score

Give that last debate victory to Anthony. I'm going to jump off the sinking Igawa ship before it's late. Well, it is already too late.

Whatev.

I just saw a pretty cool sign on a parkway in Connecticut. It said: "Don't Stop: Correctional Facility Area." Hey, at least they acknowledge they're not too good at keeping the criminals in lockdown.

I have another favorite sign. It's on route 81 in Pennsylvania. It says, "Entering Endless Mountain Region." That's some region.

BTW, Anthony, have any problem with Joba's first pumps? I like the enthusiasm, but I didn't like Joba's reasoning that he didn't know it was Dellucci he struck out.

Baloney.

Earlier in the season I was there when someone (I think FS reader Tyler Kepner) asked him if he had ever faced Frank Thomas before striking him out this year, and he quickly mentioned the two previous times, the results of the ABs and what pitch he threw him.

So, Joba, if you're going to celebrate after striking out the guy who beat you for a home run two nights earlier, fine. But don't play dumb. We're on to you.
