riddle me this
 

I have no goddamned idea but we're New Englanders and we look like a pack of fucking idiots wearing cowboy hats or even yelling something so clearly outside our planet (which yes, does consist of a handful of small states, which we like just fine thanks).

And Pedro can stop his swooning over his own gloriousness--his petulant asshole antics, already obnoxious, unsportsmanlike and intolerable, are now also unjustifiable. Clemens, however, showed dignity, humility, and respect for his team by leaving when he was choking--even as a Sox fan, I say he gets my vote for this game.

Yes, and thanks to him for not having that figured out in 1986.

For some reason, the Sox are like nannies. The kids are mannerless, twisted little goons in our care, then the next person steps in to take care of 'em and all of a sudden they're almost human beings. WTF?

Personal and Confidential to Slave
 

I would like to retract my retraction, we did tie the Rangers (in an outstanding game, I must say).

Apparently I am psychic. The line forms on the left. Cash only, please.

I feel somewhat responsible for losses of the Cubs and Sox and if I had an apology to spare I would use it here. I was too focused on the hockey this week and let everyone down. My bad.

James Garner to Guide Post-Ritter 'Rules'

LOS ANGELES - James Garner (news) is taking on what is likely one of the television season's most challenging roles: steering ABC's "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter" through the transition of John Ritter (news)'s death.

The 75-year-old Garner, who starred in the '50s "Maverick" TV series, will guest star in four episodes, his publicist, Jennifer Allen, said Thursday.

Ritter, who died of a heart ailment last month, played a harried dad and newspaper columnist on the show. Garner will help the transition to a new focus — a family coping with the sudden loss of its patriarch.

Future Guest Stars will include Pope John Paul II, Ronald Reagan and Courtney Love.

Sox/Yankees
 

Holy shit is Grady Little the worst manager ever.

Said by me last night: "Jesus, Pedro is getting rocked - he probably hasn't thrown over 100 pitches in months! GET HIM OUT OF THERE!" Nope. Didn't happen.

Also, when they brought Wakefield in: "It's too cold for a knuckleballer- this decision will end it for the Sox."

Are you even capable of writing a post with no mention of me or are you taht obsessed?

Something to do with the fact he has no bullpen and pitching beats hitting?

Sox/Yankees
 

And who would have predicted Aaron Boone would go long for the win? I watched him a lot in Cincy games and although he seems to have some of the shit even I with my psychic abilities (perhaps they only apply to hockey) just didn't expect him to be the one to win it all for the Yanks. Good for Aaron, I mean Brett, I mean Aaron.......I mean whatever that guy interviewing him said. :D

8 Simple Rules
 

Ok what the hell are they thinking. How do you take a comedy and turn it into a show about dealing with the death of a husband and father.

No doubt the issues surrounding the death of a parent and spouse are important and need to be explored, but in a comedy?

It's downright disgusting.

Sox/Yankees
 

Looks like Brett has been supplying Aaron with the HGH, EPO, testoterone and anabolic steroids that Brett has been using for years...

riddle me something else
 

Look, after a few decades, you'll do just about anything to win. Mayor Mennino would have ridden a bucking bronco in Fenway to show support for this team. The silver lining is that we'll stop hearing that (I hope) now.

Red Sox fans are good at losing. And for all Grady Littles' faults, you've got to hand to to Torre. He managed every angle, and there were no toddlers among the Yankees last night. Unlike many past Red Sox chokes, that was a game the Yankees won, not one the Red Sox lost.

Sox/Yankees
 

Is Brett the most useless addition to a broadcasting booth ever? His one saving grace is that he rarely spoke, so that we didn't have to hear too many of his useless observations.

And, BTW, how short is Kenny Albert?

Sox/Yankees
 

It's motiviation by humiliation: Giambi gets knocked down to 7th in the order, rips off two home runs. Boone gets left out of the starting line-up altogether, and once he's finally put in, rips a game winning homerun.

It pains me to say it (like a hot poker in the eye), but it was genius.

Leagl, I'd like to complain about S^2 outing folks like this.

Poor Anne.

Sox/Yankees
 

I just figured it would be someone else. Let's just hope that they don't try to put his ugly mug in those shitty Visa ads with damn Jeter and stoneman Steinbrenner. I used to kinda like Jeter (despite the uniform) and now I just think he needs to go away for a little while.

And why do ad people think that folks want to see ads with players from teams in other markets? I know all about the claims that the Yankees are "worldwide" but I bet there are people who say "who the fuck is Derek Jeter and who is that no-acting fatass white dude with him" when they see that commercial -- give us something local that we can relate to and quit playing into the "Yankees are fucking gods" thing.

riddle me something else
 

I dont think the Sox lost or the Yanks won. I think Boston's chances died when Assflakes and JHo showed up at a game last week. Everything they touch dies.

Bitch moan, bitch moan, bitch moan.

I like Shape Shifter, he can do anything he wants.

:dance2:

Sox/Yankees
 

Wrong. Boone, like all Yankess, the greatest team ever, is a team player and has a lot of heart. He knows that Enrique Wilson has some freakishly good record against Pedro and that he would go in late. Nothing humliating about it. And thats the attitude that elevates the Yanks over a team like the Braves. Its money plus.

riddle me something else
 

Except media interest in their relationship...and her ass....and their "love." Here is hoping that their careers finally realize that they are dead and quit trying.

I read an article the other day that said he accepted some United Way (?) award recently and said something about his beautiful girlfriend. Girlfriend? Hmmm, no more fiancee? I'll post a link if I get bored enough to go and look for it.

riddle me something else
 

The link is still on the cnn page if anyone really cares. I think it is funny that the guy can get a headline by calling her girlfriend. Horrors! He can call her booty call for all I care.

Sox/Yankees
 

Did you ever see a show (I think it was sort of popular in the 90's) called Seinfeld?

Sox/Yankees
 

I watch sports and news. And I know who the fatass white dude is, I just think a lot of non-baseball people outside of NYC don't.

riddle me something else
 

We've got way too much experience...

I am so tired of this. I am so tired of this. I am so tired of this.

Well, at least I'll get some shit done now that I don't have to watch any more baseball...

Boston Red Sox fan's lament
 

It almost (I said almost) made me feel sorry for the BS fans:



"Every year you know they'll probably lose, but every year they suck you back in, and every year they crush you like a tiny bug," said 25-year-old Aric Egmont, summing up the angst of being a Red Sox fan."

Welcome to Baseball Infamy
 

Now that you each have taken on your new honorary middle names, Grady Fucking Little, Aaron Fucking Boone and Steve Fucking Bartman, meet Bucky Fucking Dent, Billy Fucking Buckner and Billy Fucking Goat... I know, I know, you don't deserve this. That's what they all say, but this is baseball and the fans (derived from fanatics) are rarely rational about things like this. Better get used to it (for the rest of your days)...

Speaking of music over PA's, I can only hope that the PA operators at Comiskey can refrain from playing "Do the Bartman" during next year's Cubs/Sox series. Of course, these are the same people who played a Whitesnake song for then-Indians pitcher Chuck Finley after his estranged wife Tawny Kitaen (ex-wife of Whitesnake's lead singer and featured in the video for the song) beat the crap out of him...

Sox/Yankees
 

I think lots of people outside of NYC know exactly who he is, courtesy of Seinfeld.

And by the way, for those who are concerned about Pamela's views on the tough issues, she is now urging a boycott of KFC.

I assume her concern with KFC is not that it injects chemicals into the chickens to plump up certain parts.......

I love her. I wonder if she knows any excellent vegan recipes? AFter reading that turkey slaugherhouse thing on the match heaven and hell section, I am off all animal products for now. I wonder if tofurky is any good? anyone?

new Pam avatar up for grabs
 

I like tofurky. I have it every thanksgiving. It doesn't taste like turkey, but still good. Oddly, my cat is crazy for it, and he is a bloodthirsty mouse-killer. (he also wears fur, so there is really no hope for him anyway).

Tofurky is pretty good. My family serves it everything thanksgiving, along with traditional turkey. The OM likes the tofurky deli slices, but I prefer light line.

Gardenburger has a whole line of prepared stuff that's great -- herb crusted cutlets, riblets, etc. Also, whole foods deli has an herb crusted field roast that reminds me excellent fried chicken.

Yes, tying threads together, notwithstanding Pam Anderson's boycott, KFC has a fried meat substitute product that reminds me of fried chicken.

General Tso's cat also reminds me a lot of chicken.

Friend in a bad relationship and wedding gift question
 

First, two friends that have been dating for 2 years and fight ALL the time. She continues to come to us for advice when they "take breaks" and then she always goes back to him... We've stopped telling her (about 1.5 years ago) our true feelings about their relationship (we like them each individually a lot) because she always goes back...well now it's getting ridiculous...

So, question is: Would you tell her your true feelings about their relationship? (we run in the same circles, she is my friend, he is BF's friend)

Then on to happier thoughts, I'm looking to purchase my friend an unique wedding album for the pictures that friends took at the wedding. Any thoughts? (if available online, even better for this patch dweller).

Thanks.

Thats funny. One of my critters went apeshit over my fakin bacon.

I was just browsing vegan cookbooks including the peta celebrity cookbook (confidential to Slave- Charlize is a vegan). Found something called vegan planet and something called vegan meditteranean dishes that have the most fabulous sounding dishes. i would be a full time vegan if it didnt require cooking one's everymeal since there is no kentuchy fried tempeh chain.

and did you know that one million chickens with a side of injected hormones and chemicals are eaten every hour by the disgusting vultures in our country? No wonder men go bald, get hairy and develop mantits.
