    Any team that gets swept by the Nats in August doesn't belong in the World Series. That ought to be a disqualifier on the spot.

    Yeah... I don't like his Boston numbers counting for nothing.

    Manny has sandwiched a lost week with just incredible (even for him) production.

    It would have been a travesty for him to be shipped to the American League.

    Abner Doubleday, I have a call from Olde England for you ...

    <blockquote>LONDON (AP) -- Baseball is as American as ... tea and crumpets?

    That may be case, according to a diary uncovered in southern England last year but only now being made public.

    Julian Pooley, the manager of the Surrey History Centre, said Thursday he has authenticated a reference to baseball in a diary by English lawyer William Bray dating back to 1755 -- about 50 years before what was previously believed to have been the first known reference to what became the American pastime. ...

    The entry reads:

    "Easter Monday 31 March 1755

    "Went to Stoke Ch. This morning. After Dinner Went to Miss Jeale's to play at Base Ball with her, the 3 Miss Whiteheads, Miss Billinghurst, Miss Molly Flutter, Mr. Chandler, Mr. Ford & H. Parsons & Jelly. Drank Tea and stayed till 8."</blockquote>

    Interesting if true, but is it the same game?
