Cliff Lee is God.
So at about 10:00 last night I go into my room ready to study and lo and behold, I have a message waiting on my cell phone!
It is my best friend Harmony who is telling me all about how Cliff Lee is awesome. That's every other sentence, in fact. The message: "Hey, Caroline...Cliff Lee is awesome! He's pitching really good. We're whooping the yankees' @s$es. Well...okay, it's only 1-0, but we're winning! Oh, yeah, Cliff Lee is doing an amazing job. He is really amazing! I'm sorry I missed all your calls because I was being really nerdy and going to sleep at like 8. But I'm up tonight because I'm watching the WORLD SERIES!!! So if you call me back, I'll probably be watching the world series...did I tell you how amazing a job Cliff Lee is doing?"
And I wake up to the WFAN people telling me random stuff about the weather...and Cliff Lee gave up no earned runs in his CG.
No earned runs...
And he is God.
Well who is the Devil?
If you're a Yankee fan, it's anyone besides Derek Jeter.
If you're a Jets fan, it's as always Rex Ryan.
If you don't like the Pittsburgh Penguins, it's Sidney Crosby and his stupid hat trick.
If you're sick of hearing about him, it's Isaiah Thomas.
If you're a Phillies fan, it's whoever decided to put Ryan Howard on the cover of Sports Illustrated.
If you're Eli Manning, it's your foot problem that I'm not attempting to spell.
If you play for the Nationals, it's your contract.
Who's your devil?
And, just because it's the return of Pedro vs. the New York Yankees: who's your daddy?

LOL! "If you play for the Nationals, it's your contract"... or you geographic location. Move a little to the north or south and you're good. Ha! Thanks for the laugh!

Yes! It's those idiots at Sports Illustrated! I mean, this spring they put Cole Hamels on the cover and look what happened - definitely a sub-par season for him so far, with one more shot for redemption on Saturday. Now Howard's on the cover and guess what? Golden Sombrero in Game 2. Aaargh!
