Sorry to keep you waiting -
Two boys are playing hockey on an inlet on a pond in suburban Chicago when one is attacker by a rabid Rottweiler. Thinking quickly, the other boy takes his stick and wedges it down the dog's collar and twists, breaking the dog's neck. A reporter who is strolling by sees the incident and rushes over to the boy. "Young White Sox Fan Saves Friend from Vicious Animal," he starts writing in his notebook.
"But I'm not a Sox fan," the little hero replied.
"Sorry, since we are in Chicago, I just assumed you were," said the reporter, and he began writing again.
"Cubs Fan Rescues Friends from Horrific Attack," he continued writing in his notebook.
"I'm not a Cubs fan either," the boy said.
"I assumed everyone in Chicago was either for the Cubs or the Sox. What team do you root for?" inquired the reporter. "I'm a Yankees fan," the child responded.
The reporter turned the page in his notebook and wrote "Little Brat from New York Kills Beloved Family Pet."

Loved it!
And your joke finally brought some life to this game, as the Giants just scored a run. Still though, what a snooze fest this thing has been through 7 innings.

Game 3 tonight with Ryan Vogelsong and Anibal Sanchez. Here's the preview from MLB.com. http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/inde...lb_detmlb_1&mode=preview&partnerId=LR_preview
The Tigers really need to win tonight to stay alive in the series.

Zooey Deschanel + National Anthem tonight. Very nice!
And in case anyone hasn't heard...everyone gets 1 free Doritos Locos Taco at Taco Bell on Tuesday (10/30/12) from 2pm - 6pm thanks to a stolen base by San Francisco's Angel Pagan during Game 2.
Some sort of promo Taco Bell is running with MLB that if any player steals a base during the World Series, then everyone gets a free taco! Sure enough, the Giants made that happen.

If things get dull....
The Cleveland Symphony Orchestra was rehearsing Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. There is an extensive section where the bass players don't play for twenty minutes of so. One of them decided that, rather than stand around on stage looking bored and stupid, they'd all just file offstage during their tacit-time and hang out backstage, then return when they were about to play. It seemed like a good idea at the time.
On the night of the performance, the bass players filed off as planned. The last one had barely left the stage when the leader suggested, "Hey we've got twenty minutes, let's fun across the street to the bar for a few!"
This idea was met with great approval, so off they went, tuxedos and all, to loosen up. Fifteen minutes and a few rounds later, one of the bass players said, "Shouldn't we be heading back? It's almost time."
But the leader announced, "Oh don't worry, we'll have some extra time - I played a little joke on the conductor. Before the performance started, I tied string around each page of his score so that he'd have to untie each page to turn it. The piece will drag on a bit. We've got time for another round!"
So another round they did, and finally - sloshed and staggering - they made their way back across the street to finish Ludwig's 9th.
Upon entering the stage, they immediately noticed the conductor's haggard, drawn and livid expression.
"Gee," one player queried, "Why do you suppose he looks so tense?"
"You'd be tense, too," laughed the leader. "It's the bottom of the ninth, the score is tied and the basses are loaded."

Ouch ouch ouch ouch ouch. So bad.
Correct. I dunno where I got the 2nd out from. Misread the TV screen dot thingy which indicates outs.
Now there are 2 outs.
So much for the Tigers formulating a comeback that inning.
Wait a sec...why did that sound depressing? I'm cheering for San Fran anyway. Let's try that again:
So much for the Tigers formulating a comeback that inning!!!
In all honesty, I really have no idea who to pull for. I have nothing against the Tigers or Giants.
My favorite team(s) aren't having much luck:
Blue Jays...eliminated from playoff contention
Braves...lost NL wild card game
SF Giants...ensured everyone a free taco on Tuesday. Might as well...
Go San Francisco!!
