And That Happened

That I did, sir.

Craig, I know you have to write about him because he’s very talented, but please, don’t ever quote Papsmear again.  He is such a jackass, and he makes absolutely no sense.  And yes, I would still feel that way if I wasn’t a Yankee fan.

Loved the Python.  How do you know so much about swallows???

“He must be a Scott Boras client.”
    “How can you tell?”
“He hasn’t got s*** all over him.”

How many times has anyone seen a batter, during the same plate appearance, get “credit” for a strikeout and a “caught stealing?”  It happened last night during the St. Louis/San Francisco game.

No offense, Indians fans, but I want them to lose enough so Craig finally just has to write *throws roster on the ground and pisses on it* in the Cleveland boxscore.

Love that movie.  My parents let me watch it at way too young an age.

while the loud-mouthed Yanks had to throw a snit-fit. By the way, 60 to 70 per cent of the American forces deserted that fight. But of course, they were all heroes afterwards. American belligerence didn’t defeat England - the logistics did.

You’re assuming that we take being called belligerent, loud-mouthed and violent as insults.  We wear that sh*t proudly, my brother. Or at least we should. That and the whole taking credit for favorable park effects thing pretty much defines America.

And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Gee, Craig, I would think that when the Red Sox follow up the biggest blown lead by a first place team against a last place team in ML history with their biggest 9th inning road comeback in 70 years, it would be worthy of a little more notice, maybe a riff on “The Greatest Story Ever Told” or something similarly appropriate…

Sportscenter said this was the 4th day in MLB history that there had been 3 1-0 games, so it has not, indeed, happened a lot recently.

I like that rule, Craig. It would wipe out about 60% of all the commentary in televised baseball games.

You must not have been paying attention to the Giants/Cardinals game. Sutcliffe spent the entire broadcast raving about the Molina brothers, though Bengie threw a ball into right field and both brothers let pitches get past them. Sut was laying it on so thick. I’m sure that at least one of the Molina brothers got laid last night.

You must have also missed his weird football analogy when Molina threw the ball into right field. I have no idea who was the quarterback, who was the receiver, and who wasn’t sticking to the qb’s game plan.

Sometime around the seventh inning, Sut made an Indy Car analogy. Something like Cain finally being mature enough to use his slower pitches through turns one, two, and three, but then being able to throw 95 on the back straightaway when he needed to. As if Indy Car drivers are dogging it around the track, then finally speed up at the end? More nonsense.

That’s totally weak.  According to those commercials, Olney is “the game’s best behind the scenes reporter.”  He should know BS when he’s being fed it, and since he fancies himself a blogger/opinion writer too, he should have the stones to say so.

Thinking of it differently, if A-Rod had gone on the 60 day DL the day after he wrote that, is there any doubt that he wouldn’t have crowed about how he got it right?

Actually, I pictured it more like this: 
Olney:“Look, you stupid b*stard, you’ve got no arms left!”
2-4 Rod: “‘Tis but a flesh wound.” “You’ll get what’s coming to you! I’ll bite your legs off!”

“Whose stadium is this?”
  “It is the stadium of my master, J.P. De La Wombat”
“Well, tell him that if he gives us a luxury box for the night, he can join us in our search for a third baseman.”
    “I’ll tell him , but I don’t think he’ll be very keen. You see, we already got one.”
“You’ve already got one?”
    “Oh yes. Scott Rolen, he’s verra nice.”
