The most sickening call of all was the final one made by Mike Patrick before they cut over to Sportscenter. He said, \"Don't put anything past Fresno State. They are Cinderella in cleats.\"
WHAT THE &^#*&^$*&^@#*&^$@#@#&#@^$*^^#@??????
Are they SO starved for an upset victory (you know, because between the Giants beating the Patriots and the Rays doing so well this year and the Celtics having the biggest turnaround in NBA history, there aren't any really good underdog stories out there) that they have to pray for a sexy upset in order to get people to tune in tomorrow night?
I didn't hate Fresno State before Mike Patrick's call last night. I thought they were a great story, and even told my wife that I'd be rooting for them if Georgia weren't in the series. Now I hope that we rip the cleats off of Cinderella and stomp on her fat face with them. I hope tonight's victory is by twelve or so runs and I hope there are some close-ups of Fresno State players -- and maybe their wives or girlfriends, who are nowhere near as attractive as Lauren Massanari and Katie Heenan; hell, they're not even as attractive as Erk Russell -- crying and crying and crying. Nice weepy close-ups, ESPN, you think you can manage that?
Okay, so that was a little harsh. Mike Patrick brings out the worst in me. Maybe just a close-up of Mike Patrick being stomped on with a baseball cleat and crying and crying and crying? And a little footwork for Orel Hershiser too, for refusing to shut up about the four runs Joshua Fields allowed against Stanford Saturday. Who won the game, Orel? Who won the gods-blessed game?
...I wonder if they'll have a nice \"Late Inning Heroics\" montage of last night to show during the game tonight?
