Some teeth long for ripping, gleaming wet from black dog gums. So you keep your eyes closed at the end. You don't want to see such a mouth up close. before the bite, before its oblivion in the goring of your soft parts, the speckled lips will curl back in a whinny of excitement. You just know it.
There's something to be said for being bad all the time, I guess

after reading about how the diamondbacks wouldn't be able to handle the Passionate Philly Sports Asylum, it is extremely funny that they went out like this in a silent mausoleum

Any time I heard that I cringed. Like these grown rear end players have never played in a loud stadium before, and become motivated and focused to quiet a crowd they hate.

Also, Arizona teams are uniquely conditioned to having zero home advantage thanks to all the transplants that live here, particularly against teams from California or Chicago.

Yup. 2001 for Arizona when everyone was rooting for the Yankees because of 9/11. And the only two times Texas got to the World Series they lost (2010, 2011 loving David Freese)

Didn't something crazy happen in that series like the D-Backs' closer got a huge hit in game 7?

I definitely remember 2011. Josh Hamilton having the night of his life to try and drag the Rangers to that loving title and they just kept loving up.

They won the series despite their closer melting down two or three times which was painful for teenage me to watch because I was shook at the prospect of 4 straight for the Yankees

On the second Kim meltdown (game 5) my mom kicked our family picnic basket so hard that she caved in one of the sides and destroyed it

We kept it around for a while as a memento because of how the series ended

I was at a Suns game where thanks to the combination of "Arizona fans suck and will walk out in the third quarter of anything" and "So many loving Chicago transplants", the Bulls legitimately had home court the last five minutes.

It was an amazing series. Went to 7 games, Randy Johnson vs. Jeter, two games went to extra innings, and the Yankees lost.

Only other ones in my lifetime that comes close is when the Red Sox came back from 0-3 to beat the Yankees in the ALCS and then sweep the Cardinals. And the Cubs.
