Bermuda Triangle, Meet the NL Central
Not everything can be explained. You know this.
Why bad things happen to good people, why Hanley Ramirez is a lollygagger, what happened to Nancy Pelosi’s original face… these are all concerning issues without concrete and true catalytic roots.
They simply cannot be explained.
And just like boats and planes and people that disappear within the Bermuda Triangle — scoffing at science, bending the rules of reason — so too are the circumstances of the National League Central Division and its teams as mysterious as they are unanswerable.
So let’s see if we can get this right:
The Pirates suck but they are able to beat the hell out of the Cubs.
The Cubs suck but they are able to beat the hell out of the Brewers.
The Brewers suck but they are able to beat the hell out of the Pirates.
The LOLstros may deal Oswalt and/or Berkman but no one is really watching or caring anyway.
The Cardinals are in second place.
And Dusty Baker hasn’t ruined anyone’s career yet as his Reds stand on top of the division.
I have a feeling this may be one of those FML moments. Of course, it is only May 18th, so it’s still way too early to start complaining like a Red Sox fan.
But seriously, folks, I really would like to know what happened to Nancy Pelosi’s original face…
Holla if you have any tips; in the meantime, don’t hate me ‘cuz I’m right.
Peace,

Looks like she traded it in for a manhole cover!
History repeats itself. Dusty will ruin the RedLegs too. It’s only an anomaly. Just keep laughing at the LOLstros and don’t pay the Reds any mind.

It’s not just the NL central. Things have been bizarre all over, though the Reds certainly are the biggest surprise of all. It’s still early enough for plenty of choking to happen; don’t worry.
Hey, hey: don’t hate on the Red Sox! Only half of Red Sox Nation is panicking here, the other is in a collective coma. But I’m not worried 😛

I am sure the more players the LOLstros trade the better the Cards will like it…. Pelosi’s original face does anyone know what that really is….

Either the world will come to an end, or all will be right in the baseball world by the All-Star break. We’ll just have to sit back and see what happens….

Mike — Manhole cover. Brilliant!
Cici — True, though I take it more personally when the Birds ain’t on top. Plenty early, and the Cardinals will win the division, just not as easily perhaps as I once thought.
The Game — I’m not hatin’ on the Red Sox… just sayin’ Sox fans tend to complain about everything…even when they’re winning 🙂
Peter — Bud Norris. He’s the guy. He’s the one.
Mike — Very true. I’m guessin’ it will all be right.

i sure as heck cant explain it. the pirates honestly arent good enough to beat my WVU team but when they do put it together even blind squirrels find nuts.

Well, Matt, at least they kill the Cubbies… that’s what’s important, my friend.

And the Pirates beat Roy Halladay. How about that one? As for Nancy Pelosi, you leave her face alone. I hope I look that good when I’m her age, just without the botox.

Jane — Unfortunately for Pelosi, it’s exactly the botox that makes her look so bad. I just can’t get used to that new face of hers.

Jeff,
Jesus may hate the Chicago Cubs, but Satan will not returrn their calls either.
Because you got to think that Cubs Manager Lou Piniella might even welcome back Chi-town wild child Milton Bradley if it gauranteed him a NL Central title.
Piniella would let Charlie Sheen’s ex, Denise Richards sing in the 7th Inning stretch every night if a “W” proceeded her cat-like wailing.
Heck they might even discuss Ozzie Osborne as a commentator if they/he could make a package deal with the devil to get past the first round of the playoffs.
But then again, this is a team that destroyed a baseball caught by an unsuspecting fan who might have been a angel in disguise.
Maybe it has been longer than we think that Jesus hated the Cubs!

Then Dodgers would like to take Oswalt but Frank will want a discount.

Cat — No one needs Oswalt more than the Dodgers right now. I don’t wanna hear about a discount… it’s Hollyweird! Make it happen, Frankie!
