I have had to go to the bathroom

since I logged on 40 min. ago

Save my spot

Let us know how it all comes out

Come to think of it, don’t.

Nico - September 16, 2008 reply

Well,

Oh, sorry.

What a performance by Gallagher.

91 pitches
7.0 IP
4 H

In fairness

Mike Scoscia fines the Angels $25K and cuts off the finger of a family member any time an Angels player walks. They’re not gritty or grindy enough for such a hardcore SOB like him.

That old thread

was getting real close to getting the NC-17 rating.

Soaker - September 16, 2008 reply

Close?

Well, we’ve got work to do, then.

Yeah, I miss that thread.

+1

I have a sudden urge to head to Red Lobster.

Who’s with me? Andre?

LOL I'm on Youtube searching for clips of the Red Lobster discussion

All I found was the ‘What Happened to Andre Song’

here

Hee, thanks

the song sucked.

That was fucking hilarious!

I forgot how funny that was.

pam5981 - September 16, 2008 reply

Oh god I forgot a big one

LIGHTEN up it’s just FAAAAshion!

Fierce!

G'night, Grandpa.

OT: New Facebook sucks

They might actually drive me to MySpace for all my creepy internet activity.

thejd44 - September 16, 2008 reply

Yes, yes it does. I was finally forced to join the new one today.

However, I despise MySpace more… so, yeah. I’ll be sticking with Facebook, I suppose.

Tim Gunn, Tim Gunn, if he calls your name you're done!

Lol, what were the guys doing in the bullpen?

Practicing their karate chops?

No chance. RyRy's way too fast.

4 hits!

Pushed him to the .300 mark!

Swooney = Untouchable.

But not literally. I hope.

Seriously.

Remember, he was the throw-in of the Swisher trade.

4 hit game for Swooney

Very nice.

Jesus, does our broadcasting team have a marketing contract with Kinder's or something?

I expect that from Fosse, but Glen?

I think they get a commission every time they mention

Kinder’s, Dibs, and HD.

Ryan's average: .301. Beautiful.

OT: please explain (ladies)

A woman I was dating told me that she knew I wanted to be cremated but she wouldn’t do it if I died first because she hates fire. Don’t you think this is kinda wrong? I asked her if I was on my death bed, and only had minutes to live, and I asked her to put a cigarette out on her nipple, would she do it. She asked if I was sure I was going to die, I said yes. She said that she wouldn’t, and I would be dead soon so it didn’t matter.

Our relationship kind of went downhill after that.

Where did I go wrong?

You have dated some fucking weird girls.

So it IS her

I feel so much better. Thank you!

Okay, wait.

I’m hoping one part is a typo. You asked to put a cigarette out on HER nipple? I will only accept this paragraph if you really mean you asked her to put a cigarette out on YOUR nipple.

Yeah, I was kinda wondering about that too

Not sure she’s the weird one. And the sheep next to me agrees with me, by the way.

Nico - September 16, 2008 reply

No, definitely hers

Just for her to get over her fear of fire, as my death wish.

But you're just dating right?

Not anymore

Yeah.

Uhm, yeah no.

Changed my mind. You are the weird one. I would hope she would be like “FUCK YOU!” to that one.

No she just calmly stated

That I would be dead soon so it didn’t matter.

She is way, way too nice.

I would kill anybody who asked me to do that!

It's her.

What’s wrong with being cremated?

Okay,

you want cremeated but she wouldn’t follow your wishes?

Sadly, no

BOO!! Don't hurt my boys!!

Yay Buck!

Trav! Ry!

Happy, happy day.

I can hear...

….sweeney scoring. It sounds dreamy.

...TWDS

pam5981 - September 16, 2008 reply

AHHHHHH!!!

I was watching youtube and missed all the hotness!

Gooooooo! Buck

good to c u back. Nice Hit!

bighappy - September 16, 2008 reply

Crosby OBP is now back down to .29965

Which still rounds to .300, so I guess he could sit on it for the rest of the season. I certainly would not mind.

Soaker - September 16, 2008 reply

Bleh. Seeing K-Rod this much is gonna make me puke.

Oh, whoa. The game's over.

Celebration!

I know, for once that felt way too fast and I'm sad it's over.

(yeah, yeah…. TWDS).

You've created a monster.

Are you sure? I think TWRS.

How about we light

a victory cigarette?

(only teasing…the whole thing was a gag, BTW)

That

was nice.

Yay a win! That was a fun one.

1...2...3...

…3 wins in a row! Ahahahaha!

Josie Becker - September 16, 2008 reply

Did the A's just score more than 7 runs 3 games in a row?

Free Pepsi!

Yes. I also heard pigs can fly now too.
Oh and I got lots of free pepsi this weekend.

McDonald's commercial:

“Thirty-two ounces of sweetness for one cool [B]uck.” Hee hee.

Okay, season 4.

It looks like… Tranny Ice Capades!

Haha!

My favorite quote so far of this (boring) season,

Blayne: Holla atcha boy, Tim.
Tim Gunn: Holler at your boy? Holler? Holler? I don’t get it.

I haven't even seen every episode of this season :( First time ever.

Blayne was awesome, though. Love your face!

"make it work!"

Isn’t that true about baseball as well as Project Runway?

I’m watching it, in spite of my distaste for the contrived “drama” of eliminating people. I’d prefer it if they simply scored everyone, every round, and just kept everyone in it until the end. Then, at the end, review every Challenge, who got so many points for what, and the winner.

Too much dark threatening execution-style theater IMO. Doesn’t do a thing for me, for people to be “sent off”.

“Go clean up your space (and, GET THE HELL OUTTA HERE!)” Boo hoo! Hugs all around…zzzzzzzzzz…

True...

Although oftentimes it seems like about 10 of them are absolute dead weight and need to leave NOW. Maybe the show should only start with 6 people or something.

BRING BACK WESLEY!

It wasn’t his fault that his model chose that heinous fabric.

"She looks like... like a baboon's ass exploded on her back side!"

{not from 4}

ZOMG, RyRy postgame, I wasn't even paying attention!

Thank the lord for Tivo.

I wasn't either, till I heard Jaime say something about being over .300

and then I ran over to the TV. He was adorable—kept sneaking nervous looks at the camera. Haha.

GAH.

I’m listening to radio only tonight. What am I missing?

Recap!

RyRy says they got key hits against Lackey and “it got everyone pumped up” and “with our pitching staff, as long as we’re ahead, i don’t think they’re going to give up any runs.”… About young guys getting playing time against the Angels – “It’s huge, any time you can get experience against the Angels…even though they don’t have their A line up in there, kind of, it’s still good motivation and we’re playing to win some games”… On where his toughness comes from – “I just wanna play every day and I just know that I’m gonna have to get surgery and i’m just gonna have to deal with the pain right now, and i’m upset that I had to sit out so many games, but it’s nice to be back…”
