The Czech Republic

Nomar Garciaparra is injured already?!??!?!? bahahahahahahaha ohhhhhhh man.

Just in case you forgot they're the Cubs, the Reds have tied the game 5-5.

Pierre triples, Walker doubles, Lee walks, Ramirez singles. It's all downhill from here. EDIT: Sac fly for Jones, error on Dunn, 2-0 Murton is playing great at the plate and in left, hitting a 3-run homer and robbing Kearns of a game-tying GS. Glad we picked him up. We'll get more out of him than Nomar. Who knew?

Dickie V on the Cubs: "They have to get back healthy Prior Wood."

Better check that "whore" definition. Anyway, I'm leaning toward the LAX players being guilty on this one, but they deserve a fair trial.

I corrected it. I was thinking II and III came out in '69; rather, I and II did.

III was downplayed by critics when it debuted because it was more mystic and folksy when they were expecting horny and bluesy ("Since I've Been Loving You" notwithstanding). I'm pretty sure everyone had come around on it by the time Zeppelin was finished. Really, the first five albums are all great to me.

I've been buying more and more of my music lately, because it's good to actually own it rather than just have the MP3s. Plus, when my external hard drive got wiped out, I lost a lot of my illegitimately obtained stuff. So yeah, good to buy your music.

Do you want another Chicago fire to start? Yes. Fuck Chicago. Hey, fuck you. The impression that I'm getting is that you guys are mad because they booed the designated faces, those STUPID SMARKS. Douchebags.

Okay, so apparently this is what I've got to choose from today. 1 p.m. games: Red Sox @ Rangers on ESPN2 Cubs @ Reds on WGN Nationals @ Mets on ESPN Pirates @ Brewers on FSN 3 p.m. Braves @ Dodgers on ESPN 6 p.m. Giants @ Padres on ESPN2 9 p.m. Yankees @ A's on ESPN2 So that's seven games for me. The rest are all local coverage, I guess.

Um, is there rain in the forecast for, like, y'know, every fucking place in North America?

Whatever it is, it's brought out the worst in a few certain people here--"I went through two boxes of kleenex," or

NEIFI PEREZ DON'T GROW ON TREES YOU KNOW

WHAT THE FUCK YOU GUYS.

That's the English version

Al-Pit

Well obviously, he didn't go jerk. Anyway congratulations, I hope you have a happy and healthy daughter.

Lovey, the hell kind of TEE cover is that? Looks different than mine.

Do you push carts?

There, let's have another fucking thread about it.

Well, I'm in the Moun. Time Zone, so I get CN 1 to 3 hours behind everybody else. I have no idea why. So, while everyone else is watching Full Metal Alchemist, I'm getting this. El Paso is in Mountain time, I think. If you are who I think you are, I missed you!
