Smartly Pretty

I hate very few places as much as I hate Sea World.

Breaking news in the life of a 16 year old: I can have beer at the dinner table now. This is a big moment for me.

Cool, we have our first success. Thanks, man.

I have these: And I think they're wonderful.

I also think Mussina belongs in the Hall. A while ago I heard someone suggest that Moose is the best free agent signing of all time. Now, I think that title probably belongs to another Yankee, whose first name is Alex, but if you're talking about productivity with the team they signed with then that might not be a dumb thing to say.

Dave O'Brien has never heard of stealing signals. That's pretty pathetic for a baseball announcer.

This game is fun.

John Maine is going to be activated today. If he can pitch effectively, he has to eat a lot of bullpen innings. Or close and have Ayala eat the bulk of the bullpen innings.

I always thought "Girlfriend" sounded an awful lot like "I Wanna Be Your Girlfriend" by Lush. EDIT: I'm now reading that the Lush song is a cover of the song you're talking about.

Anyone got Castaways and Cutouts by The Decemberists?

Well, mine is easy and boring. Your dog, Jack.

What's to be guilty about? Hot Fuss is great.

909, because VX, dude, his name is Walter Payton, man. Kahran Rasmus, because a D-Line with Bob Lilly and Pat Williams should win.

Autumn?

You have to also remember that The (football) Giants played there for quite some time (The Greatest Game Ever Played was a Yankee Stadium event), it was the site of the "win one for the Gipper" Notre Dame-Army game, Tiger Stadium was wonderful, but it wasn't Yankee Stadium.

There never has been a situation quite like Yankee Fucking Stadium closing, so you're right, no one has ever come out for that purpose, but that purpose has never been an issue. The fans at the Stadium obviously wanted it to, that applause was enourmous, so lay off him. Derek Jeter is one of the most important Yankees ever, let him have this. Let the Yankee fans have it.

Shut the fuck up, dude.

Any idea on what's being sold?

Does ANYONE actually believe in their team this year? I believe in the Mets. Honestly. Especially if John Maine can pitch out of the pen.

Oh man, how insane would it be if we lost 4 on New England (foregone conclusion) and then 4 on Buffalo (in all likelyhood), plus the 1 no pick is nine! I wasn't in this last year...what was the killer week?

I would have went with "Hardcore Negro Ecstasy"

John Baker just reminded me how much it bothers me when players don't run out a dropped third strike. That's a difficult throw for a catcher, and why would you just lay down and die anyway? It's lazy. Run it out, asshole.

I'd just like to point out that I had Tampa in the playoffs 6 months ago, a prediction that outshines all of my other retarded predictions

It's funny when I read these, because I usually disagree with everything you have to say about the skits individually, but then at the bottom when you give a conclusion on the show I end up agreeing. Hm.

I love the opening arpeggio thing from Stay Together For The Kids. First Date and The Rock Show are worth mentioning as good singles.
