Cheech Tremendous

What a tremendous douche. Hey, have another drink, Scott!

Dude, it's a roast. Nothing's off limits, especially a relatively tame joke like that. Besides, it's been ten years. We should be able to make Owen Hart jokes by now.

Are you going to do a review of the Thursday show? That was the first SNL I've seen in years.

I'd bet that it's more. Wal-Mart purchased 3 million copies of the new AC/DC album.

Actually, all it showed was that I don't know to create polls. I didn't lock the voting function and certain posters were able to vote multiple times and throw off the results. This I actually agree with. Huzzah to Bob and I finding common ground.

Dice-K struggles after 100 pitches. Okajima can't pitch with runners on. So what does Tito do? He lets Dice go way past 100, then brings in Oki after there are two men on base. That's baffling to me. Francona has always been an expert in-game manager in the postseason. He hasn't look that strong this year.

Beautiful. This brings a tear to my mega-thread-hating eye.

You have a bullpen, Tito. Use it.

This is not a classic. Please no. I think my head will explode.

They've been calling him that all night. This has to be what, the first or second big game he's ever pitched in?

He would have been out. Bay was playing really shallow there.

You stupid assholes.

I know there's no such thing as jinx, but you would think these announcers could keep from falling all over themselves to talk about you no what.

No, the point of the bailout was to loosen the credit markets and keep banks from becoming totally insolvent. The consumer confidence was sort of supposed to come with it. They've failed on the confidence front, but we've yet to see if credit returns. That won't be known until the bad mortgages start being purchased.

Okay, so we're getting THAT version of Dice-K tonight. Good thing I've already started drinking.

OMG SOCIALIST DOOMSDAY APPROACHING~! ROMNEY, WHY HAST THOU FORSAKEN US?! To defend Marvin here for one second, I've actually heard multiple people claim that the government buying into banks would lead this country to socialism. These are people I work with and I (normally) think very highly of their opinions. This is a scary proposition for a lot of people.

Haven't we learned many times over that anything can happen in a short post-season series? Good teams are defined by their regular season success.

This thread is a compendium of bad. Fanofcoils was the worst poster I've ever seen. EDIT: So I just went back and re-read this thread. I still can't for the life of me figure out what the fuck fanofcoils was talking about. Nothing in this thread makes sense in the least.

There were some seriously flawed assumptions in that article. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but his analysis flies in the face of what nearly every single economist is saying about our economy. This financial crisis is a prelude to other sectors failing in next 12-18 months, which is an important factor he missed.

But the Cards won more games than the Dodgers. It's sort of stupid to fault them for coming up short because they played in a really good division. Besides, who cares what Pujols says. Guy's been dicked out of 3 or 4 MVP trophies already. Can't we just give it to him for being the best player in baseball this year by a country mile? It's not as if there are any strong candidates from the NL playoff teams anyways.

If that's true, they should rip up that contract extension for Minaya. Also, the way I heard it is Cano+Bruney+Kennedy+Prospie+Money for Beltran. The source of this rumor is really shaky, so I'd file this under not happening.

When are we closing the voting?

Thank you.

C/Ping the entire WON is not allowed. Check with Venk before you do it again.

So they couldn't leave well enough alone with destroying wrestling in the United States. Now they want to ruin Mexico, too?
