Time to find out what they can do.

With last nights win over the Diamondbacks, the Phillies are up 2-0 in the series. They are off tonight while both teams travel to Phoenix where the Diamondbacks will be playing in their own ballpark.

If the Diamondbacks lose when they have home field advantage, it's a pretty good bet they didn't deserve to be in the playoffs in the first place. They need to step it up and win these next three home games so when they return to Philadelphia, they have a fighting chance.

The ALCS continues tonight at 8:00 with the Rangers starting their home game portion of the series and holding a two game lead. I'm no expert but I'm thinking that since the Rangers won both away games, they'll probably win all three of their home games as well.

On the other hand, the Astros lost both of their home games so things are not looking good for them.

Morons. They are all morons who are looking out for only themselves and their particular gang.

Time to eat some dinner and watch some bad television.

See if these entertain you:

• If I owned a pig, I also would name him Kevin.



• Yes, alcohol was involved.



• Only in Florida.



• Key phrase in this story: "I love Team USA."



• Australia: What doesn't try to kill ya, tries to kill you and your dog.



• What is it with the Chinese and their insatiable appetite for endangered species.
