1. Because following endless blogs, having a LJ and a Twitter account was not enough I created a tumblr for the hell of it. You can find me @ suspensionbridges.tumblr.com If you have a tumblr or know of one you think I'd like, please rec it to me.

2. I have probably eaten my weight in turkey, sweet potatoes, and pumpkin pie.

3. I want someone to snuggle with. Preferably a big warm baseball player. Am watching clips of Derek Jeter and crying. No clue why. I think all this food and family has broken me.

Remember when the Yankees won the World Series?

That was awesome.

Zack Greinke of the Kansas City Royals won the 2009 American League Cy Young award. Deservedly so, he took 25 of the 28 first place votes. The Royals and their fans don't have as much to celebrate as some other teams we know and love but Greinke is an amazing athlete and dominated the AL all season long. He is so much fun to watch. Congrats to him and I hope he has success for many more years to come!

So many things went right for the Yankees last night with two outs in the top of the ninth inning but this was the game changer:



What can I say besides: BLESS THE SHIFT! What a perfect storm of using the Phillies' defense against them to win the game.

This is baseball at its best. I don't know if I'm ever going to stop getting emotional when I think about that ninth inning. One for the books, definitely.

This is making me laugh until I cry. I know the "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAH" is coming but I still start giggling like a loon every time.

My belly hurts and I almost peed my pants AFTER going to the bathroom.

Quick, someone post the comic of Caine taking off his sunglasses to reveal another pair of sunglasses.

/in love with these men forever

Except to say: gods above, why?

HAPPY PLAYOFFS, EVERYBODY!

In other fabulous news:

Phil Hughes has shaved. The first thing I said to him was that he had the worse mustache I’d ever seen, to which he laughed. “The worse the better,” he said. Hughes shaved the thing last night. “It was starting to get irritating,” he said.

WHO HAS TWO BOTTLES OF CHAMPAGNE AND KNOWS HOW TO PARTY?



THIS GUY!

Today is a good day for the church of baseball.

Nervous Breakdown = cancelled.

Hurrah!

Let's just say that for a while I was all:



But then I was like:



How are you all?

I think I have a show again.



Everything that is right with the world is in Glee.

Joe Girardi on Jeter nearing a milestone:

"He got a standing ovation running sprints in pre-game."

Nick Swisher on speedy outfielder Brett Gardner:

"Fastest white man in America."

I think last night was Alex Rodriguez's best pop-up adventure yet.





When running one down, he ended up getting a handful of an officer of the law instead. Funniest thing I have seen in a while.

During the last 50 years, the Yankees have not won a single World Series while a Republican was preisdent.

The article definitely nails it on Eisenhower--that man was the last great Republican leader of the free world. He doesn't count.

And here's my conspiracy theory: the Yanks realized this and had to build a new stadium to rid themselves of the Bush curse. When Obama goes to NY to throw out the first pitch for the World Series this year, a new era of champions will be borne.

ETA: Happy Roster Expansion Day!

Took one look at this picture and had no thought but this:

Favorite headline of the day:

Bronx Bombers überrollen Red Sox.

Hug it out, bitches. Hug it out.
