God I love the American League. Or something.
Oh my god, no. Rick Sutcliffe and Chris Berman in the same booth at the same time? What circle of hell for this is Tony Gwynn?
Actually Tony doesn’t care because the booth is catered.
Sutcliffe says that the reason the Red Sox traded Nomar and brough in Orlando is because of a series in May in which the Angels embarrassed the Red Sox by hitting the ball at them.
There are just so many things wrong about that. But mainly it’s because Pokey Reese was playing shortstop for the Red Sox at the time.
I ask, with all sincerity…is Rick Sutcliffe retarded?
I didn’t know they were steroids. I got them from Sosa.
I got them from Manny Alexander’s bat boy, buddy. Give me a break.
Why are you always blaming everything on me? I don’t like that inference, buddy.
Andy,
Fine Gamecasts today! I want to keep up on the Dandy Dodgers, the Rallyin’ Redbirds, the Battling’ Bosox and the Heavenly Halos.
But honesty compels me to say that the volume of posts has dropped off considerably from last week’s gamecasts.
I don’t suppose that had to do with the fine professionals calling the game on TV?
Oh, I have to go know and spend some time with my imaginary spouse.
Aren’t I a free agent. Would I look good in right or left field?
I have a very Moises Alou-like fielding ability. I’m a catch 22. If you hit 40 balls to me, I’ll catch 22.
Actually Troy, you’d look pretty good at first base. We could probably trade Derrek Lee for a left fielder.
I’ll go get my checkbook.
I thought the Red Sox improvement was due to the impact that Cabrera, Eyechart and Dave Roberts had on the defense?
I look out there and see Cabrera, Millar and Gabe Kaplan. Even Horshack is upset.
And yes, Chip. I think you impacted our ratings, too. Most of our posts were directly related to people posting in horror after something insipid you said.
That last sentence took the Yoda route didn’t it?
"Something insipid you said."

That should only cost us about $140 million.
I just said I’m envious of Johnny Damon’s hair. My belt just said it’s envious of Johnny Damon’s pants.
I don’t miss many meals do I?
Andy,
I wish you bid on my services. Had you matched TBS’ offer, I would have moved to Durand, settled into the Desipio Tower, babysat Karry Ling, put up pictures of my imaginary family and regularly posted my observations.
And even if it meant I wouldn’t be around my dad, I would have come to Desipio. I never cared for that SOB Skip anyway.
I see that every other post is bashing a guy who isn’t here.
Can’t we stop beating that dead horse?
Forget about the Curse of the Bambino BoSox fans. We will rear our ugliness sometime in this series!
It tickles!
Well, Korey,
I hope you don’t make any comments about us.
Unless we missed the bulletin that we’re moving to Chicago.
Do I count as an Ex-Cub for curse purposes?
I was a Cub for like five minutes!
I could move the Red Sox and Angels to Chicago. I can do anything I want!
Ah, since I avoided jail time today, maybe I should go to Atlanta and see my old Braves and Astros teammates.
I bet Bagwell and Biggio will be happy to see me. (Biggio might be running away from Chip, who’ll be chasing him around the locker room, but there’s nothing the rock won’t cure.)
I didn’t know it was cocaine. I got it from Sheffield. He told me it was powdered Afrin.
Not my best effort.
Chit!
No. 10, Glaus and Kent on the same side of the infield? That’d be a train wreck. Besides, Lee is one year older, hit 30 points higher, played in 161 games and is 2.5 million dollars cheaper than Glaus. Get somebody else, Mr. Hendry.
I struck out swinging? Who’d have guessed?
I love to hit
Who’s the better .250 hitter? Me, Dunn, or Sammy?
This sucks, I was hoping that Schilling would be in the dugout weeping by now.
I’d have had that ball that Cabrera just got too. Well, I would have if Schilling had slowed it down with his hand.
I resent that inference, #28. Buddy.
Evidentally I lost a lot of weight, since the police report lists it as "0". And in what army would my hair be considered "military" length? That thing’s all wrong.
In ours, silly!
Fine, I’ll say it. I miss the playoffs.
F@#$ing Cubs.
I’m now encouraging the crowd to "get back into it with their thunder sticks."
I wish someone would bludgeon me to death with said stick of thunder.
Have another beer, Rick.
Hey Jimbo, please trade for me. I can leadoff and play 2nd, LF, CF, whatever. I’m like a souped-up Jose Macias with as dumb a first name as Shawon Dunston. C’mon, Jimmy!
I only sing when I’m drinky!
I mean I only drink when I singy.
Chone? Man, your maoma must be duomb.
These announcers are lousy. Why aren’t they talking about the visibility? It’s obviously playing a huge role, as the Red Sox can see and the Angels can not.
Have I called him Scott "Panty" Shields, yet?
F%^k you Joe Buck
Red Sox win the first game.
I thought other than the trade comments Andy was talking in post #2 Sutcliffe did a decent job today.
He still isn’t someone I want anywhere close to the Cubs’ TV booth however.
Morality in Europe today is herd animal morality – in other words, as we understand it, merely one type of human morality besides which, before which, and after which many other types, above all higher moralities, are, or ought to be, possible. by online poker
Nobody before the Pythagoreans had thought that mathematical relations held the secret of the universe. Twenty-five centuries later, Europe is still blessed and cursed with their heritage. To non-European civilizations, the idea that numbers are the key to both wisdom and power, seems never to have occurred. by phentermine
Men are deceived if they think themselves free, an opinion which consists only in this, that they are conscious of their actions and ignorant of the causes by which they are determined. by casino on net
