I thought it was, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't paint it pink, 'cuz that would be a horse of a different color?

(Mine makes as much sense as yours, even in context.)

Is Emmylou on the album your're listening to?

No song by that name, nor did Emmylou (sp?) Harris appear on it. It's called Pass In Time:

That's Art that's weighing her head down.

Here's the money question:

Do you hate your life anywhere near as much as Sebby hates his?

I thought Sebby loved his life. He drinks the booze to keep the meows of the unawakened cats at the bar stifled. His wife has a great ass and tits that are a B or a C. He wilns cases while putting words in people's mouths and saying shit that most of the room knows is mainly correct and he is surrounded by hot paralegals and court reporters in diaphenous blouses.

I dont gtet a life hating thing from Sebby. Exdept when he does his monthly bit on going to law school and falling into this gig that he is such a master at that is kind of a drag.

LOOK, this was the point of my post,

LOOK, I obviously did not see your post before I posted mine.

and now YOU'RE being unsubtle, which, on top of fringie loosing her sarcasm meter, really makes me start to worry.

I think it is an open question as to who was being less subtle with their post - you or me. Or perhaps we can live in a win-win world, where we were both being sublimely subtle.

What is this Board coming to? When the subtle are unsubtle, otherwise satyrical people take you at face value, and perfectly rational people take to ranting.

I understand your concerns in the abstract. I just do not think they are implicated here. You are being a bit of an alarmist. Settle down. It is Friday afternoon. You are hours away from a martini. Make that a vodka martini.

In that case, she needs to start treating Art like shit so that he will dump her. Because it would be bad karma to dump him, and with that eyeliner she doesn't need any more bad karma.

Ah. If you decide you enjoy her, look for her 2002 album, Daybreaker. It's even better. (ELH is on one song on that one.)

Oh, come on. He didn't bet on them every days. So there were some days he was, in essence, betting against them. And it also means that there were some days where he had more of an incentive to win than others, so he plays/pitches guys on the high-bet days, when they should rest, and then doesn't play them other days.

the only way to even plausibly make the argument is if he had committed at the outset to bet the same amount on the reds for every game, every day, and couldn't change. once he's picking and choosing his days, he's saying some games matter and others are throw-aways.

But has anyone ever produced any evidence that he did in fact tamper with the team in that manner? I recall players from that time stating in interviews that they did not believe that was the case (no cites, just memory). I know what he did was wrong but he was such a moron that he didn't use his position to impact his bets --

Anyway, give me a break -- I was caught off guard with his whole "I admit I bet on baseball" book thingy and now I have to come up with an argument besides "Pete says he didn't do it and I believe him." Give me time.

C'mon - the whole "this job sux, somebody find me a new career where I don't have to whore myself and hide from my salemen buds" thing is too subtle?

I can see how that would happen. He seems pretty heavy.

Since nobody's asking, here's what I think about the Pete Rose situation:

I think this week in Pete's life should be studied in PR-schools as how not to do stuff. It's pretty freaking amazing that by finally coming out and admitting that he bet on baseball, which the entire world thought would be a very good thing for him to do, he's set back his own cause for reinstatement, probably irreparably.

Did you hear Joe Morgan's comments on it? Link here. I agree that Pete does not seem to be truly sorry for what he did.

I too am old enough to remember Charlie Hustle in his playing days. Back then I thought he was an egotistical jerk. I still do. He could have delayed his book release and interview a week or two so that the publicity would not overshadow the HoF announcement. But, noooooooooooo! Fucking bastard.

Hey, Pete, get a clue. You bet on baseball. You lied about it. You broke the rules. Stop whining and get over it already. Accept the fact that you fucked up and move on.

I thought he liked whoring himself bc he wants to be a money cat? I know he cant knock over liquor bottles with his dick or jack off fifteen times a day,. but i thought he loved money?

I had a football coach who was the spitting image of Rose, and acted exactly the same way, too.

Still hate them both.

Minutes. And it will be a very fine Bordeaux. But, points taken. See you next week.
