Smartly Pretty

The title for Episode 9 has me so fucking excited. Some asshole needs to leak this shit to the internet already, I can't wait 24 fucking hours.

I read MetsBlog on a daily basis.

Reyes is much better than Castillo defensively, and offensively they're both inept.

What's the difference?

I've never seen Rocky. Or Lost. And yeah, Venk, I was like, 2 when Saved by the Bell first aired, but countless times my friends have made references to Mr. Feeny, and I don't get the joke.

I love the New York Post. "Ordered one for breakfast". Awesome EDIT: 2 a day for 40 years falls a little short of 35,000. He'd have to "have one for breakfast" 5,800 times to reach 35,000.

My shoe collection

I still get to vote, right? VX 909 Bored Gert

The sky is fucking falling, damnit.

I have trouble naming a minor league player who is already injury prone a top overall prospect. It's Flores. And then you also have to consider Jefry Marte.

I think if Mike Pelfrey steps up tonight, and pitches well, and pitches 7 or 8 innings and the Mets win, they'll avoid another let down (this year it wouldn't really be a "collapse" but it'd be a let down). If they lose though, that just may fuck any momentum they once had.

No one was comparing Sam's Town to Bruce Springsteen. The Killer frontman (what's his name again? Something Flowers) just said in an interview that he was listening to a lot of Bruce Springsteen while they recorded it. You shouldn't have been reminded of Springsteen while you listened to it.

Me neither.

Trust me when I tell you someone will do it for you.

Man, VX, you're just wrong. My O-line is amazing.

Is today an MLB record for most games played in a day? Seems like it must be.

I really like Vampire Weekend. Had an awesome time at a VW show last April. Does this make me a hipster? I'm pretty sure I'm not a hipster. mfn's taste doesn't really offend me, either. He likes all that Pete Dohrety garage revival nonsense. Me too.

I have the weekend to read Walden, and then do the assignment that goes with it. Do I actually have enough time to read this thing, or should I spark note it? It seems kind of boring, does it ever get interesting?

He's joking.

I didn't mean to rip your John Hannah pick - that's a great pick, Hannah's a fantastic linemen. I was simply trying to illustrate that I think I got a lot of players at similar value late in the draft.

I'm legitimately surprised at how poorly I'm doing.

Smartly Pretty EHME go team! Brooklyn Zoo VX I love that VX has Brett Favre on a team coached by John Madden. I can't vote against that. CanadianChris HarleyQuinn HarleyQuinn has Bill Belichek running a Run and Shoot. Canadian Chris. 909 JustJohn This is the closest matchup. Halfway through the drafting I thought for sure Just John would go deep in this, but I'm having a hard time voting against 909's Joe Montana quarterbacked team. Bristol Palin's Baby Daddy Kahran Ramsus I love Kahran's team defensively. Great secondary with Bob Lily up front is a winning formula. Bored jwest27 I'm just not feeling jwest's team, especially against Bored's linebacker tandem of Lawrence Taylor and Harry Carson. That's fucking frightening. TheOriginalOrangeGoblin Tzar Agent. Defense wins championships and all that. Fokai Gert T Gert has OJ and Thurman Thomas running behind a stellar offensive line. Holy hell.

Aren't the Mets grooming Eddie Kunz to replace Billy Wagner? Fuentes and K-Rod both have sorta herky-jerky motions and want lots of money over a long time, I figure either one of those guys gives you one or two more lights out years and then breaks down. Just let Eddie Kunz start next year as the closer. If he can't do it, he can't do it, fine, Stokes can close or Ayala can close, or a different guy in the minors can close. Maybe they sign a guy like Joe Borowski as a Kunz backup plan.

Darren McFadden at quarterback formation! Yes!

By my count you have three, and one is Jason Taylor who I have no qualms with as an Outside Linebacker. Who plays the second DT on his line? Too Tall? Doesn't that kind of neuter his pass rushing abilities? Actually, I guess you have four, don't you. Fuck, you'll probably have some of them play center or something, anyway.
