Lurking for a year, but joined a mere hour after Eagan was banned. What a coincidence of coincidences, no?

Yeah he does. The episode where Professor Chaos gets continually foiled because "SIMPSONS DID IT" is one of my favorites.

Well I won't do this anymore, and besides I was right the first time. I'm pretty sure I'm right this time too but I'm gonna let it slide from now on. And Dutch, if I somehow do get banned, you got it.

To get back on topic, does anyone know when South Park is replayed? I won't be able to watch tonight with the World Series and all.

Oh no, King Curtis is Prince Paul. Two in one day returned...ack

Hey, it's true though. Eagan started every OAO South park thread in the exact same format, and Hutch joined a mere hour after I exposed his link and got him banned last time. I think we can all agree that the board is better without Eagan.

Sounds like an admission of guilt. See ya. And it only took less than five minutes while sitting in a the computer lab waiting to go to my next class.

And those six men alone make 2 million less than their entire World Series opponent. Awesome. As for all this talk, the series is NOT over. Sure, it looks bad who is to say that the Marlins don't go back to the Bronx up 3-2? No one. I'll get the white flag out of the box if they lose tonight and I won't raise it until Rivera is on the hill in the 9th inning with the Marlins facing elmination, and even then it will still only be raised to half mast. Fuck the bandwagon. I'm a die-hard.

No, that 3 run hr is pretty much the ballgame. fuck

Or not.

I doubt Miguel Cabrera is afraid of Rivera. Maybe he can do something against him here.

RBI single after a Jeter double. It came with two outs.

Key strikeout by fox!!! Ok, so here we go against Rivera for two innings. And yes, just as everyone predicted, I am talking to myself.

FUCK! I hate Matsui so much. Now it's Rivera for two innings.

Oh, Dontrelle, please don't turn back to your LCS form...

Beckett is still bringing it in the 8th. Anyone who said the Yankees would kill him for being cocky should apologize. I'm looking at you, Daily Quickie. As I write that, Jeter gets his 3rd hit of the night. The only three of the game...

Hope holding Pudge doesn't come back to bite the Marlins.

NEW YORK -- Some will call it an act of desecration, others will say it's simply the state of the business. A Babe Ruth game-worn New York Yankees home jersey from 1925 was cut on Monday by a card company that will insert swatches of the jersey into packs. The company, Donruss, purchased the jersey -- believed to be one of three Ruth pinstripe jerseys in existence -- at an auction last summer for $264,210. One ceremonial 1-by-1 inch cut of the jersey was made by Donruss president and COO Bill Dully, with Ruth's daughter, Julia Ruth Stevens, assisting at the ESPN Zone in New York City. The jersey will immediately go back to the company's headquarters in Arlington, Texas, to be sliced and diced into 2,100 pieces. "When I first heard about it, I had reservations," said the 86-year-old Stevens, who noted that she was comforted by the fact that full jerseys are on display both at the Hall of Fame and the Babe Ruth Birthplace & Museum in Baltimore, Md. "But, now I realize that it's going to mean so much to people that get these cards, that get the jersey, it's going to make it real special." The company plans to put pieces of the jersey on cards that will be inserted into baseball card sets through 2006. The jersey has no number on the back, as the flannel predated numbering by four years, and has "G.H. Ruth" sewn inside the collar. Greg Schwalenberg, curator of the Babe Ruth Birthplace & Museum, which currently is displaying a 1930 Ruth jersey on loan, wasn't excited about Donruss' intentions. Schwalenberg said he knows that the act is a demonstration of the reality of the high-priced sports memorabilia market. "Because items like this sell for so much money, it's getting hard for us to get people to donate stuff now," Schwalenberg said. "Who wouldn't want to try to turn it around and make a lot more money off it? But since it's hard to educate the public with a piece of jersey, we certainly wouldn't endorse something like this." Jay O'Neill, a baseball memorabilia collector from West Des Moines, Iowa, stated concerns about how far the industry is willing to go to create collectibles. "I don't mind including swatches from current players," he said. "There are hundreds, if not thousands of game-used articles available for each player. But only three Ruth uniforms! All in the name of the almighty dollar! What's next? Cut up a Revolutionary War uniform of George Washington for Donruss' 2004 Great Presidents series? Maybe pieces of an original Declaration of Independence?" Dully, noting that the creative sales ploy could draw detractors, remains undeterred. "There's always going to be controversy," Dully said. "But something like this is just the reality of the free market and the reality of capitalism." The first opportunity to get a Ruth jersey card will be in Donruss packs in November. Dully said that company officials had faith that Donruss could make a return on its investment from the Ruth jersey based on previous success of putting the cut-up jerseys of legends in their packs. Donruss previously has inserted pieces of a road Ruth flannel in its packs, and also has used diced-up jerseys of football legends such as Doak Walker, Red Grange and Jim Brown. "The bottom line is that items like this were once only available to a couple of people and now it's available to everyone in the United States," Dully said. "People from Tampa to Indianapolis to Sacramento can now hold a piece of Ruth's pinstripe jersey." Prices for packs with the Ruth jersey inserted will range from $2.99 to $150 ----------- 1 of 3? Holy shit, I don't trade cards anymore, but I know that's gonna fetch MUCHO dinero.

Just out of curiousity, what makes you say that?

I got it to work. It's moderately funny.

I agree with Joe Schmo. And can anyone agree with me when I say that Skin is going to run out of ideas after about episode 5?

Wow. 5 innings in and not a single post. That ball four pitch was questionable, as was the 3-2 pitch, as was ball four to Giambi. Let's hope this delay gets over quickly.

True, but this is the Babe's jersey and one of only three in existence? I can't believe they cut it in the first place.

You know, the Marlins have been my team ever since I was 10 years old, I follow them religiously, and I just today realized how cocky Beckett is. I always thought he was just going out there and doing his business. I turn on Sportscenter and see them all talking about how cocky he is, accompanied with interview clips where he says he is the next great pitcher, etc, etc. Needless to say, I didn't think I could be surprised by anything that went on with the Marlins, but this caught me off guard. But I think I like it. To hang with the big boys, you have to believe you're a big boy. People confuse cockiness and confidence. Confidence is needed to suceed and if people confuse it with cockiness, oh well. With all that said, go Beckett tomorrow in game 3 and defeat my hometown boy, Mike Mussina (he's from Mountoursville, PA, not too far from my childhood home).
