Alright this one I actually find funnier:
Four college graduates were hiking tot he top of a mountain. One went to Notre Dame, one to Florida, one to South carolina, and one to Clemson. When they reached the top the Notre Dame alum threw himself off the mountain shouting “This is for the Irish!” Following his lead the Florida alum threw himself off the mountain shouting “This is for the Gators!” Then seeing all of this the Clemson graduate shouted “This is for the Tigers!” and pushed the South Carolina alum off the mountain.

I just found out that a (quite a bit older) guy I dated in high school is married to a former classmate of mine. I basically cannot reconcile the idea of him being married to her, because she was the sort of girl you were sure would end up either a librarian or a nun.
It’s not the same situation, but this must be how Peter Wolf felt in “Centerfold”.

Well, this ex boyfriend of mine was 28 when I was 17, and now he’s married to one of the most reserved people I’ve ever met. It’s just not a match I ever envisioned, and I don’t want to explore what it is they might have in common. :|

Is Marte hurt? Or maybe Shapiro himself has given up on him. I mean at this point if Shapiro wanted him to play, he would have simply ordered it, no?
Shapiro trusts Wedge to play the guys that matter. Stuuuuuuuu-pid.

Does your mother have bad taste in literature? Because that would explain it.
Everybody should get ice cream every day.
It’s 1946 in Gobbler’s Knob, Pa., and Sadie Ebersol and her sister, Leah, are exploring the joys of “rumschpringe” the period of relaxed rules and running around that Amish teens enjoy prior to their baptism into the church. Tomboy Leah’s first love is Jonas Mast, but her father Abram has determined she’ll marry Gideon Peachey, whose father’s farm adjoins the Ebersols’. Her beautiful sister Sadie’s defiance crosses the boundaries when she becomes involved with Englischer Derek Schwartz. Heartache is inevitable.

Gideon Peachey? Is he a descendant of Mr. Knightley?

They were talking about Frankie Hayes on the radio (last Athletics catcher to lead the team in RBIs), so I checked out his B-Ref page. Not only did he play for the Indians a couple seasons, but his nickname was Blimp.
Okay, so I know a couple of you are on facebook, so here’s my question: What do you do when you get a friend request and you’re thinking “Um, I don’t know this person, do I?” and you don’t KNOW that you do or don’t know that person?
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
I check out their profile, and if that doesn’t help I click “ignore”. I’ve had quite a few old old men send me friend requests.
CFO of Klezmer
We have friends in common. I bet I know this person but just can’t place him.
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
I’m looking through his friends list and recognize about 3/4 of them. Hmm.

I think it’s on a limited time though but anyway he’s in that. I almost died laughing when I figured it out. And Roger Dorn is in a movie called Love Comes Softly with Katerine Heigl. It’s set in like the 1800’s and her husband dies and she’s pregnant and it’s winter so she has to live with this guy. Rog is the older neighbor.

This is what the fans would chant when he comes up to his eagerly anticipated ABs. Or fans would do the arm flap from Angels in the Outfield. Not both, though, it’d ruin the arm flap.
Angels in the Outfield vs. Rookie of the Year. Discuss.

I have no comment on Angels in the Outfield.
Rookie of the Year is Rafael Betancourt’s favorite movie.
CFO of Klezmer
Angels in the Outfield. Goofy and sentimental. It’s great.

I guess the big problem is that the kid in AitO doesn’t DO anything. He’s a human message service, like Uhura.
by fleerdon on Sep 17, 2009 11:52 PM EDT up reply actions
Sometimes I wonder if it doesn’t come down to Danza vs. Busey. But you have to give AitO the edge on having a less-irritating actual-story-about-the-grownups.
by fleerdon on Sep 17, 2009 11:51 PM EDT up reply actions
Exactly. Adults were annoying in Rookie of the Year. And while the kids didn’t do anything in Angels, you can’t beat “It could happen!”
Yeah, but my favorite part in Rookie was when the guy that hit the homer stood and stared at the catcher before sliding into home after his homer….
Tribe in 2010!! Maybe.

RotY wins the scene vs. scene matchup. “Hot ice” still gets me. But in terms of something I’d actually be wiling to sit down and watch end to end…

When the Superbowl was in Detroit, I fantasized about being a production engineer on the tv staff, and subbing in the Devil’s Night skyline shot of the city burning from The Crow instead of the blimp aerial live shot.

Heh. Maybe superimpose an ED-209 or two in the “just outside the stadium” shots.

My buddy Dave had a similar plan involving a Lakers game and the opening shot of the playground full of skulls from T2.

I’m just now upset Trevor Crowe won’t adopt The Crow’s persona. There’s nothing stopping him from putting on the paint, I’d imagine. Change his AB song to something doomy. And while a pitcher may wear a jacket, he wears a long black cape.
It’s Cleveland. People would just think he was a NIN fanboy.

Hegan described Wedge heading out of the dugout to remind Bucknor that if the baserunner reaches the bag before the ball, then the baserunner is safe.

Breslow will be #1 in the AL in appearances if/when he pitches today

Graham: made a run at a 1:1 BB:K ratio.
Price: 9 HR in 30 innings. Are you kidding me.
Knapp: TINSKNAPP
Carrasco: The hell?
Justerson: Should seriously consider switch-pitching.

Do the rollover minutes remind anyone else of carrot chips or is it just really late and past time for me to be in bed?
Oh sure. But this is drunk logic. Also, time-traveling potatoes.--AngG
Yeah, I quit. If you’re going to stay up though, the Onion Sports piece about Jeter being honored for having fewer hits than Harold Baines is really excellent.

A hit in 13 of his last 19 games? That’s the stupidest attempt at a stat in the history of stats, you damned fools.

That text poll was not nearly as much of a landslide as it should have been.

Yeah. 53% though. Nothing else got that high but I still think it should have been a lot higher for the Metrodome.
