JetersNeverProsper: I like your hat.

JetersNeverProsper: You know, you really make my Bronx burn.

JetersNeverProsper: Sorry. It's just that there's only going to be the two of us in this room. We may as well get to know each other.

JetersNeverProsper: Mr. December? I only got the chance to be Mr. November because there was a catastrophic loss of life in my city. What's your excuse?

roman_holliday: well okay

basically, four national league teams finished with even records at the end of the 2007 season. so we had to push the divisional series back a couple of days to play one-game playoffs

roman_holliday: now keep in mind, there's never been a game played in coors field later than october 4

roman_holliday: all the national league teams are equally mediocre, so each playoff series went to seven games

roman_holliday: and of course, we play in denver where we get like a billion inches of snow every day starting in mid-october

roman_holliday: we finally got to start game 3 of the world series in coors field on december 1. jeff francis retired the first three yankees he faced

roman_holliday: so at the bottom of the inning, i'm at the plate with the bases empty and two out. i get hit by a pitch, go to first, and then the game gets called due to snow

roman_holliday: the blizzard comes in and wipes out the schedule for the rest of the month, so i was the only player to reach base in all of december. that's why i'm here

roman_holliday: sometime in late january, bud selig just said "screw it" and flipped a coin to decide the winner

roman_holliday: it's coors field, what do you think happened

the coin never came down, it floated into the atmosphere

JetersNeverProsper: /sigh

When you came into this chatroom, I was hoping you would be someone else.

roman_holliday: well actually, someone recorded two putouts at the top of the inning, she got to be miss december

E5_rod: HEEEEEYYYY JEET

JetersNeverProsper: Alex! I really "Miss"ed you!

E5_rod: /GIGGLE
