Rob E Dangerously

So, to close this out.. let's do "The Quotable Marney", here's one that I found: ON ABU GHRAIB: "Humiliating evil people isn't barbaric. We've done it before and we'll do it again. The soldiers who set up and took those photographs deserve decorations, not court-martials. And the next time we do this, let's televise it live."

"What chu gonna do?" http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...m_supporters_dc http://www.expressindia.com/fullstory.php?newsid=33312 I'd say the situation might be a bit polarized over there. But, they'll nail him on at least one of the following charges. And here's some of the "quoteable" Saddam: ON WHETHER HE CAN AFFORD A LAWYER: ''According to the Americans, I have millions of dollars in Geneva, so I should be able to afford one.'' ON THE OCCUPATION OF KUWAIT: ''How could Saddam be tried over a Kuwait that said it will reduce Iraqi women to 10-dinar prostitutes? He defended Iraq's honor and revived its historical rights over those dogs.'' One more thing I noticed: Saddam left "al-Tikriti" off of his name. But, it'll be the trial of the century for Iraq, definately

Until I noticed the bottom half of that chair, I was worried that my computer chair was the same as Saddam's chair. Well, that's a relief

[We fade to Rob Gilbert jogging, wearing a Yankee cap, t-shirt and dress pants. Gilbert notices the cameraman and stops.] Gilbert - "Hey, I'm the only undefeated guy around this area, ya know" [Gilbert laughs] Gilbert - "I gotta give it to Munich and Manson, they're great, but i'm just better than them. I'm one of the smartest men in wrestling. Ya know. I didn't drool when I went to see a card. And now, I get to wrestle in my territory, Hartford, Connecticut. And I'm enjoying that I get to dedicate myself to training" Cameraman - "That's mostly what you do, right?" Gilbert - "You don't talk, remember? Anyways. Yes, I do train. I have to be ready to defeat all the odds and beat that guy i'm facing. The Perfect Storm. Let me tell you this, there's 30% chance of some shattered storms, but nothing perfect. In fact, from what I read, this guy is a real class act" [Gilbert shakes his head] Gilbert - "First off, he goes off like the big dumb jock that he is, off on a scholarship to play for Bobby Bowden, and then he starts to beat people up. I have a rich friend down there, he heard that he started that altercation. I gotta say, it's possible. Anyways, after he blows his ride, he goes to jail and becomes a burden on the taxpayers of Florida. He then goes off and gets his buddy to get him out on some technicality. Guys like Sean Davis, who propell college sports, are the reason why common people can't afford to go to big colleges." [Gilbert laughs] Gilbert - "And I have to salute him for that somewhat. Let's face it, I'd rather make sure that the uneducated and ignorant stay away from the elite, such as myself. I'd rather not have a country bumpkin next to me in the halls of Columbia. And i'm sure all my fans in Brown, Harvard, Yale and BYU would rather not deal with the Elmers of the world. But, other than that jail thing, I don't have much of a problem with Sean Davis. He did his time, he probably paid most of it too, and now he gets to assault people without risk of arrest, so he's set. It's a shame he'll lose his debut match to Robzilla." [Gilbert winks] Gilbert - "Ya know, there's one more thing about him that bothers me. Let's find that printout." ["Crockett's theme" by Jan Hammer starts to play as Gilbert walks into his office and shuffles though the paper. Until his face lights up, having found the printout. The music stops too.] Gilbert - "Here it is.. nicknames.. The Handsome Hurricane" [Gilbert laughs] Gilbert - "No wonder this guy got into a fight in Talahassee. He should be 'The Stunning Seminole' or something like that. But then again, I am known as 'The Chappaqua Charmer'" [Gilbert winks again and we hear knocking on the door.] Gilbert - "Get that" [The cameraman walks over and opens the door and we see a short man in a suit and pants.] Gilbert - "Louis! Let me introduce you to the fans. This is Louis Syffler, he's my lawyer and this is quite the coincidence. Louis, what's up?" Syffler - "Nothing. I'm just checking by" Gilbert - "You know i'm facing Sean Davis, right? He has a lawyer too, have you guys met?" Syffler - "Nope. I guess we might meet at the big convention in Newark. I don't know" Gilbert - "Louis, considering that I don't get into fights and all that, tell those illiterate fans what you do" Syffler - "I'm around just in case Mr. Gilbert gets into any trouble." Gilbert - "You're one of the most expensive, and therefore best, lawyers in New York. And you're working for me, Mr. Straight A, Mr. Robzilla. Ain't that great?" Syffler - "Yeah, i'm getting paid big time for nothing, it's like the Democrats are in office" Gilbert - "Geez Louie, don't scare these people" [Gilbert shakes his head.] Gilbert - "Anyways, let me send a messege to Sean Davis. Sean, i'm sure you rock and all, but I rock harder. I'm sure you're the big man with the big muscles, but I will chop you down and beat you with my fists of fury. Sean Davis, Stunning Seminole, I will unleash the pain train on you and I will make you wish you were back in prison eating macaroni and cheese, bub! Yeeeeeaaahhh!" [Gilbert holds out his hand and gives a thumbs up while smirking. And we fade to black.]

just checking.. which Anderson comes up in trade talks?

Doc, you mean Kotz didn't send after you offered to send him nudes of yourself? Bastard.

Royals third baseman Desi Relaford endorses this thread.

I propose the following deal to the New York Yankees: Brian Anderson for Edwardo Sierra (Tampa Yankees) Is there anybody willing to trade an expensive crappy guy to KC for Brian Anderson?

Wait, if I know my Conservative webboards, if he's not voting for Bush, he's indirectly voting to elect Kerry. This 'reverse psychology' tactic is interesting too.

"I will say, honestly, Drudge is about as reliable as the NY Times." - MikeSC I don't know how reliable the NYT is for this. Although, it's interesting that an ignored article is in one of the biggest newspapers in the country, in their overlooked Sunday edition. *shrug*

Well, you can still vote for him as a Royal, which carries over to the Astros. Unless you want to elect David DeJesus

Meanwhile in Kansas City On the pitch that was a called third strike: "Fastball on the outside corner, actually, fastball headed for the on-deck circle. C.B. Bucknor has somewhere to go tonight." Didn't Mongo cut a promo on Bucknor?

He's eligible. I'm not sure if he really deserves it though. His OPS is .910, grouping him along with Steve Finley, Jim Edmonds, Luis Gonzalez, Craig Wilson. All those guys are within ten points of each other. Drew and Dunn are clearly above that group. Griffey and Sosa will likely make it. Abreu and Berkman carry OPS's above 1.000. So there's 7 outfielders before we get to the Beltran group. He'd be an all-star if he was a Royal. Do you think Scott Boras would explode if Beltran is left off the all-star team again? BTW, Beltran has 4 tools, not 5

If they put pitchers on the squad in case of extra innings, they'll use relief pitchers (Lance Carter. Did Mike Williams pitch in the all-star game last year?)

Yeah, his votes transfer over anyways

Al.. there's more important things to worry about. Like which Royal will get on the team. [it'll be Sweeney. It should be Harvey]

I would've pulled him. Abbott isn't good enough to trust with the game. The problem is his usage. Geary is good enough to pitch in close games. Yet Bowa only uses him when the Phillies are way down or way ahead. And managers insistance on saving closers for the ninth is maddening. The Phillies needed their best pitcher on the mound. Worry about the ninth later. The way Jimy Williams used Brad Lidge this afternoon (tie game, 0 out, 2 on in the 8th) is ideal. Yeah, Abbott sucks hard when it comes to pitch count. I remember games where he threw too many pitches in 6 innings, while giving up 5 walks and a hit

Hey Marvin.. did you see the replay on that DeJesus catch? It hit the ground.

1 out, 3 H, 3 R Tony, you can pull Brian Anderson

Bubba's keeping D-Von down?

Is my banner the problem with TSM?

and Beltran with a home run

And the Royals have fired their pitching coach. Yeah.

Ya know what would be the best ending. If Kane admitted that while he did have sex with Lita, that he's also "shooting blanks". Nothing like causing two people grief just because you can But, that would end the "Kane's supersperm: guaranteed to impregnate you" substory
