It's all about me

That last brief was excellent, by the way. Just excellent. Y'know, if you could arrange to serve the fan sites, they wouldn't have to pull the stuff off the court docket, and could get it up faster. Just a thought.

Doh. I'm so white.

Doesn't Ricky have social anxiety disorder or something like that? If so, it must be very difficult for him to constantly be in the spotlight. I say good for him too - make your money and get out if you're not happy.

From what I understand, he would have loved to have kept playing if the stands were completely empty and the media non-existant. While he's a little looney, he's kind of a breath of fresh air. He seems like someone who played the game b/c he loved it, not b/c he wanted money/game/groupies.

Of course, Rickey Henderson seems to be similar, and he's virtually insane.

I want groupies.

Oh, and Carnak says that Ortiz' little dog-pile on Tanyon Sturze is going to up his suspension from 5 games to 8.

OMG. That is exactly the phrase my husband used when that happened. He then went on to say, "OOOOh. Big tough guy picking a fight with his mask and pads on. You're supposed to take your mask OFF before a fight."

Which prompted me to question the existence of actual protocol for fights. They are double-secret, but apparently, are alive and well!

and HA! Varitek was the one who was sitting out Sunday -- even though he was the wuss fighting with padding.

He's called a "catcher," a term with a different meaning than when you and Shapey use it. As this explains, "catchers" are the good guys in baseball brawls.

eta:


Just had to see someone doing that to A-Rod again.

Very funny article. But what's a "haymaker"?

It's a knockout punch - or a punch that renders your opponent unable to go on with the fight.

Huh. Interesting. What about a "clothesline" (outside the laundry context, that is.)

That is when you stick out your arm as someone is running towards you, or you are running towards them, so that it connects with the person's neck while someone is moving at a good rate of speed.

Who won the game with the fight in it, anyway? And the next one?

Yeah yeah yeah. I know that it doesn't matter until they do it in October. But reading all of the stuff about the Big Fight as if there was no actual game involved cracks me up.

Oh, and a haymaker is a kind of a punch -- a big, wind-up and let loose kind that baseball players like to throw at each other.

Finally, I have no sympathy for players who crowd the plate wearing all sorts of plastic body armor and then whine when they get hit. On any team. And when you do get hit, and you think it was intentional, either trot to first like a man (relying upon your own pitcher to settle it later by doinking one of their guys) or go right after the pitcher. None of this in-between macho flexing nonsense. (This is not just directed at A-Rod; he's merely the current example.)

Mets in '04, bay-bee!

My washer died. I need a new one. I want one with a HUGE capacity. I think all the horse blankets that I kept packing into my old one sent it to an early grave. Anyone have a large capacity washer that they're totally in love with?

Thanks

To whoever has the sock The Dryer Thread, please, do not break out The Washer Thread. Or I will be forced to hate you with the burning of a thousand nuns.

Cris Carter is saying that the fans are the big losers here, but I'm not seeing the fan disappointment as a good incentive to stick around doing something you don't want to do.

Thoughts?

I'm sure Ricky will remember these remarks everytime he sees Carter limping around in a United Way commercial. Smoke up, Ricky.

Mmm, washers. And don't even get me started on dryers! You all know how I feel about laundry appliances. Sex-ay. (Come out, come out wherever you are, dryer thread. Don't listen to that mean old b_n_b.)

Seriously, bunny, you should probably spring for a front loader. I wonder if front-loading washers vibrate as much as those with agitators during the spin cycle.

Fine. But w/out it, I'm only half of a sock. What am I going to do, dry dirty clothes?

Penske: sorry, I ate all of your socks.
