Call it what you will, but I am not in favor of the Gubment taking more of my money.

No one in their right mind is.  But some of us would rather pay more now than pay more later with interest added on.

When the government is running a deficit, you are not over taxed.  You are either undertaxed or over serviced.  I tend to believe we are over serviced.  That said, 52% of the country voted for a guy that says we are still under serviced.  OK.  I gotta live with that now.  My request would be for him to find a way to pay for those services and not defer that expense to when I'm on a fixed income or on my kids.

And, if you can't pay for it, don't do it.

Do the GH guitars work with RB?  We have GH3 Wii and I'm being pushed by the Nine Year Old for WT.  If RB is better and I can use the guitar I already have, then I have more options.

Who wants to go to Peru?

FYI, in some of the black neighborhoods, they still eat dog.  Don't tell JI.  I'm contemplating trying it.

Ever been to a Chinese restaurant?

Have you ever been in a Turkish prison?

Do you like movies about gladiators?

Do you ever hang around the gymnasium?

I think it's a good pre-emptive strike on the part of the Cubs. They are forcing Harden Prior to get looked at NOW, and not waiting a couple of weeks or till December. They can go with four-man rotation for most of April and if he's ready to step in by May and is healthy, then he's worth $7 million.

2004 and 2005'd

Fuck Chuck Gitles.

I don't think I really meant this.

Fuck Paul.

How's that sound?

Much better.  I mean, all I did was agree with Al.  Hmmm....  Maybe your first statement stands.

Fuck me.

"Put away your dreams, everyone. It's over."

What a butt-fucking quitter.  The series isn't even over, and he wants to throw up the white flag. 

A) It was over.

B) Al's a known quitter.  He quit in 2003 after game 6.

That's about all he's been right about.

It must be wonderful to be an Astro fan and be a witness to this history!

They just replayed the last pitch.  Thank fucking god that it's Len on the call and not Chip overselling the moment.

With Philly and Milwaukee tied at 3 in the 8th:

B:0 S:0 O:0 - Pitcher Change: Brian Shouse replaces Guillermo Mota, batting 9th.
B:0 S:0 O:1 - Chase Utley out on a sacrifice bunt, pitcher Brian Shouse to first baseman Prince Fielder. Jayson Werth to 2nd.
B:4 S:0 O:1 - Brian Shouse intentionally walks Ryan Howard.
B:0 S:1 O:1 - Pat Burrell singles on a ground ball to left fielder Ryan Braun. Jayson Werth scores. Ryan Howard to 2nd.
B:0 S:0 O:1 - Offensive Substitution: Pinch runner Eric Bruntlett replaces Pat Burrell.
B:1 S:0 O:1 - Shane Victorino homers (12) on a fly ball to left center field. Ryan Howard scores. Eric Bruntlett scores.

Cinci 9th:

Jay Bruce - Single
Wilkin Castillo - Single
Chris Dickerson - Walk
Javier Valentin - K Swinging
Corey Patterson - Single scoring 1 run
Jeff Keppinger - Double scoring 2 runs

RotoWorld, MLB.com and a couple other recaps of the game keep mentioning how the Phils got hosed (well, RotoWorld is the only place so explicit about it) with the ball 4 to Kos-K and Howard being safe at first.  Welke had an absolutely terrible strike zone the whole game, calling pitches for strikes below the ankles.  That pitch to Kos-K was maybe about ankle-high, and he called it a ball.  Finally, the Cubs got a call in their favor.  Then on the play with Howard, none of it would have mattered if on the earlier play that inning (can't remember if it was Utley or Victorino), the Cubs turned two and the first-base ump blew the call.

Damn good thing that there's replay to right those wrongs.

I have extra bleacher ticket's for tonight's game. I'm organizing a bus trip from Aurora and may have up to 8 or 11 available once we arrive at Wrigley at about 6 p.m. or so. You're certainly welcome to join us on the bus too, which leaves Aurora at 4 p.m. I won't know exactly how many tickets I have until then.

I know I have at least 2 because of a last-minute cancellation.

Face is $36, but the tickets cost me $42 after fees and taxes. PM me here before 2 for more details on the bus trip or to meet me outside Wrigley. Thanks.

You have been BANNED FROM the BUD LIGHT BLEACHERS.

You are free to watch, but not to participate.

Say hello to Yellon for us.

10.01?  Screw that.  10.17 (c) is all that matters.

Is this really going to be a keeper league? I think I only want to keep a couple pitchers. The rest of my team smells of a homeless green undercock. Still I expect to be playoff bound somehow. Lot's of managers should seriously consider not playing next year. I say if you finish lower than 12th and your name isn't SD, you have to pay to play. And you have to pay me. Because I said.

The breaking point for me when when I was playing Gitles' Nipples or whatever his team is and I noticed he hadn't changed his lineup since week one and he still beat my ass. I suck.

I didn't even show up for the draft.

But objectively, he's probably one of the top 5 #5 pitchers in baseball. Nothing wrong with that.

So, he's somewhere between the 121st and 125th best starter in MLB.  Yea?
