Nachoman on Hiatus -- check this out, though

Yes, congratulations to the Phillies, who won the World Series after a succession of 4 hour games that lasted well past the Nachoman's bedtime. I'll probably have some analysis for you eventually, but I don't want to bore you with kvetching about deciding the baseball championship in a nearly-November monsoon.

I'll probably return in January with some football, basketball, and hot stove talk. Perhaps my new neighbor can help me become a hockey fan. But until then, you'll need to satiate yourself on old Nachoman work.

If you're new to Nachoman's baseball, here are some articles I suggest you check out:
