Lord knows we need a Butters centered episode ASAP. I swear, if they ever do an episode where Randy Marsh and Butters team up to go on adventures... I'm not even sure I'd be able to watch it. The joy would be too much.

That was a great game. And maybe he's not the absolute best on MNF - but I'll gladly take TK over just about anything or anyone else right now. His bed and breakfast riff on Theisman in the preseason was still better then anything else I can remember any announcers saying in recent memory.

Lou Pinella is already publicly campaigning for the Cubbies to trade for A-Rod.

I think his first defense will be the TUF4 winner.

Silva has to destroy the TUF4 winner first.

I was at a wedding tonight and I would have loved to see Franklin get pounded. Damn it. Hopefully this video is on YouTube ASAP.

I'm guessing that it won't surprise you to learn that Hot Hot Heat is also one of my favorite bands.

Does anyone like this band? They've put out two rediculously catchy CDs in Interventions and Lullabies and Dog Problems. I think they write perfect pop/rock hooks and songs. I also hear they are incredible live but won't get to make that judgment for myself until November. Any other fans of this band?

That's good because right now the LW division is the least interesting to me. I know the fights are better, for the most part, but there's no one I feel like I'd solidly get behind. Adding a bunch of new fighters, one or two I may be a big fan of, would certainly help me enjoy the LW division more.

I think that idea that Juliet is "him" is a little crazy. But I do wonder who "him" will end up being...as Ben is obviously the leader so far and Ben was deathly afraid to be killed by "him" if he failed.

Yeah - the floor needs to come first. Fucking Loria.

"I'm going to go and save Mr. Eko's life." Unsheaths knife. Locke's back, motherfuckers.

Sorry, Curry. I couldn't get over "The Athlete" part so I goofed on the first name.

I'm glad Herman lost, but Joe "The Athlete" Macdonald? That's the worst fighter nickname ever!

baseball-reference.com updated their comparison lists. Here's Miguel Cabrera's... Similar Batters through Age 23 Compare Stats 1. Hank Aaron (959) * 2. Orlando Cepeda (931) * 3. Frank Robinson (925) * 4. Joe Medwick (920) * 5. Mickey Mantle (914) * 6. Andruw Jones (907) 7. Ken Griffey (906) 8. Hal Trosky (905) 9. Vladimir Guerrero (900) 10. Al Kaline (900) * Yep. By the way, ESPN is ALL OVER the A-Rod to the Marlins rumor. I'd be thrilled, even if it took Dontrelle and my future favorite pitcher Chris Volstad to get it done (and probably another one like Ricky Nolasco). A-Rod is from Miami, he would actually sell tickets and the offense next year would be insane. I still don't really think it's realistic, but it's what the media is pushing right now so I can't pretend it doesn't exist.

Am I the only person who likes Samberg?

I love when Shonie stands in front of the camera and loosely strings together big words. They kinda go together and make sense but are arranged in a way that normal human beings would never consider using. The fact that he truly thinks he is a genius for doing it cracks me up every time.

Zito going in game 1 for the A's. Still undecided for the Tigers. I hope Joe Morgan has to call at least one of the games so his head explodes on live television. Tigers in 6.

Ken Rosenthal mentioned before the game today that one of the possible trades for A-Rod would be to the MARLINS for Willis and some young pitching. The Yanks would pay a large portion of his salary. What the heck is Ken Rosenthal smoking? That would double the Marlins payroll.

I read somewhere else that one of Jack's patients in the episode was none other then Mr. Friendly/Tom, but I didn't see any pics anywhere. Anybody see anything about that? Edit: Beat to it by a few seconds.

That's exactly what I think is the case as well - so I'm guessing it's something else.

It's been said before and it shall be said again...but Randy Marsh is GOD.

That episode was awesome. I don't know what some of you people expect out of every episode... like 5 resolutions a show? Perfect build and a total mindfuck. I was wondering what the hell was going on at all turns, and just when I thought I figured a bit out... they changed it up. Like - I thought that all three were to be treated differently and Kate would be treated well, but then Henry blew that out of the water by saying that the next two weeks would be difficult for her. Pefect season opener - for me at least. I can only ask to be entertained by a show and care about what happens. If the show is over and it feels like I've been watching for five minutes - that's also a good sign. Both of those happened tonight, so I have nothing to complain about.

In A LOT of years, Prince would be a runaway choice - but this year slotting him at 5th is pretty generous, IMO.
