(New York) Commissioner of Baseball Allan H. (Bud) Selig this morning shocked the sporting world by awarding the 2009 World Series Championship to the Grass Valley T-Bones, a slo-pitch softball team owned by little known political blogger Nickie Goomba.Goomba offered a confused comment on the award, saying:
"My daughter came into my bedroom and told me we had won the World Series. I guess that Kraut bastard Selig can now sleep at night without looking over his shoulder. Of course I'm surprised. I never expected this award, but it's not about me. It's about Nickie Goomba's team. There's no "I" in Nickie Goomba."
The team's star Pitcher, 63-year old Daisy "Pops" Cutter, best summed up the T-Bones' collective response by raising a withered liver-spotted finger and declaring "We're Number One!"

I just heard Rush say that the NFL has awarded the Kansas City Chiefs the Super Bowl. Great minds think alike.
Priceless. Awarded for simply showing up. The story of Obama's life.
I hope you get mentioned on ABC. This is classic. Rush is saying ABC is collecting the best of Obama jokes regarding the peace prize, and yours is the best. I wouldn't expect anything less from you of course.
Cutter was just straightening his index finger for a good scratch in a hard-to-reach spot.
Tillinghast Heating & Cooling buried the T-Bones last year, and so did Paul Revere Medical Supplies.
You guys are nuthin'.
Yeah, I just heard that on Rush, too, about the Super Bowl. Confusing, for sure!
I have a problem like this...I've been handed a few ribbons and medals by the Army and I forgot what they're for...but they look pretty on the ribbon rack I guess.
I BEG TO DIFFER!
There are two i's in Nickie and that's the problem. You'd be blind as a bat if you were "LL" and you wouldn't have to ever watch Keith Oberman again. Put in earplugs and your life would be sublime.
I congratulate the T-Bones for winning the world series without ever throwing a strike and batting 0. It's a feat only equaled once in recent memory...
I want to award CI Roller Dude the Congressional Medal of Honor for managing the mess kitchen at Ft. Bliss and the Purple Heart to Rhod for getting stabbed with a fork in the chow line.
DC will receive the Legion of Merit for walking out to fetch his own newspaper from the front porch and last but not least, Nickie Goomba will receive the Navy Cross for never having served in the Navy.
We're all winners.
LL, there was very little bliss at Fort Bliss. Fort Dix, Fort Knox and Fart Garden were aptly named.
Congratulations Nickie, but then I didn't even know you were playing ... or is that your point?
Rhod- As a Navy type, I didn't visit all of the US Army's forts, however I did visit Fort Bliss one hot summer day and was completely underwhelmed with the place...it reminded me very much of Obama. Don't ask why but there was a depressing gloom that hung over the place. Damned near everything was too hot to touch and everybody who could avoid going outside did.
The Army does hand out some ribbons like one for completing boot camp that puffs up a row and a half or so if you've been around. Now they'll be known as Obama ribbons...
LL.. This morning my Ford's transmission began acting up. Have I won the Indianapolis 500?
This is another great one. Nice job, Nick, Rhod, LL, et al.
To be clear, though, the finger I raised was the the big 'un in the middle.
