Hellllllllllooooooooooo again to all the Swish fannies out there. I know I have been missed, so I wanted to drop by for a little somethin'-somethin'. We are now two-thirds through the season, so lets look to see who is doing what.

We have to start with The Three Peater. The Athletic One is dominating as usual. Even without a catcher or an outfielder, he's still too sexy for his shirt. Oakland is destined for yet another American League title and the World Series only seems like a formality.

The likely whipping boy for the A.L.C.S. is the Chicago White Sox. A nice season is being forged on the south side of the Windy City, but even this bunch of upstarts has as little chance of beating Oakland any more than sending Warren Buffett to the G20 summit to help us badger other industrialized nations into pumping up more deficit spending.

A nifty little race is forming between Arizona and Raleigh for the A.L. wild card. Arizona always pulls out the wild card on the last day of the season as the Chicago Cubs gag on their opportunity. But this is the Raleigh Red Sox we're talking about, not some chicken choker from Chicago. The last team not named Oakland to walk away with the CRABS enchilada is back for another helping and the Swisher is here to watch them swallow that thing down.

Over on the other side of the tracks, the odd love-hate relationship between Scottsdale and Las Vegas continues. Both look likely to make the playoffs, it's just a matter of who ends up on top and gets to watch the first round of the playoffs from their Lay-Z-Boy. My money is on the young kid as the grumpy old Hawkeye seems to be a little light in his loafers when it comes to offense.

For the chance to be spanked in the first round of the National League playoffs, Bermuda and Atlanta are duking it out. Neither one has a middle infield and they both are looking for quality arms. If the Feds stepped in, they would both be put on welfare for their own good.

Since the season is already over, I'm going back to watching The Real Housewives. The New York version is the real one as all the others are wannabe's, just like the rest of CRABS is to Oakland.
