If he really loved his mother ...



... he would let her out of the bet.

All Summer, the real baseball story in the family was whether or not the Mariners or the Braves would have a better overall record at the start of the season.

For long stretches this season my bro tried to get out of the bet, since the Braves were behind. He was worried, because a loss would mean that he would be forced to watch Mama Mia! Then, the Braves got hot and made a serious late season push and surged past Nana's M's.

As the Fat Lady began to warm up, Nana tried to recall those early Summer offers claiming that they did not have a time limit. There was a 6 game lead with 6 games left two days ago and now it is a 4 game lead with 4 games left ... can the M's tie it up? Should it matter?

Because, since Bro wins ... Nana must watch an episode of Smackdown.
