Aside from being on the wrong end of an 8-0 score, yesterday's game reminded me a lot of this scene from Annie Hall—with, surprisingly, Katie-Bar-The-Door in the Woody Allen role ...
Personally, I'd love to have a Nationals-Orioles World Series. Partially, because it'd be good for the area. Partially because my nephew in DC roots for the Nats. Partially because of the drought (Nats never in, Orioles not since 83). But also, I must admit, in large part, because the television ratings would be terrible and it would just about give Bud Selig a stroke.
I don't really like Woody Allen, however, the Monkey is right in that this is exactly what happened yesterday. Unfortunately, and to my great dismay, I couldn't pull out Davey Johnson to tell the idiot to shut up and sit down.
Named for Katie-Bar-The-Door, the Katies are "alternate Oscars"—who should have been nominated, who should have won—but really they're just an excuse to write a history of the movies from the Silent Era to the present day.

The Silent Oscars
And don't forget to check out the Silent Oscars—my year-by-year choices for best picture, director and all four acting categories for the pre-Oscar years, 1902-1927.
Look at me—Joe College, with a touch of arthritis. Are my eyes really brown? Uh, no, they're green. Would we have the nerve to dive into the icy water and save a person from drowning? That's a key question. I, of course, can't swim, so I never have to face it. Say, haven't you anything better to do than to keep popping in here early every morning and asking a lot of fool questions?

Um, it wasn't wholly unlike this, with K-T-B-t-D as an unlikely participant.
