Hey
I'm in the mood to denounce religion, speculate about the impact of faith upon free will, and - for good measure - deliver one or two incendiary rants about politics, class, race, and economic theory.
Am I in the right place?

I really don't mind during regular season games, but sometimes I think they try too hard to find someone "popular" just because it's the post season (or all star game, or whatever). I'm sure you do a great job!

The Rockies really want to split here. I'm sure that's true-they'd hate to take the first two games. If they win tonight they will throw game 2.
I think I may have to hit mute. Or get a drink.

Very smooth.

I'm so happy he's getting some national recognition. He should win the gold glove... but I'm not voting so what do I know.

How about the...
"throw-your-helmet-off-as-you-run-toward-the-plate" non-run-scoring play at the plate?

Ricki could beat the Sox in an "Oh no, you di'n't" contest, but not at baseball.

I am trying to not believe that it's over but
with Beckett possibly throwing 2 more games (if it goes that far) it certainly doesn't look very promising.
I am beginning to realize that all of my Yankee-hatred has completely transferred to the Red Sox.

I think it was the very first episode...
but she was watching Ned's dog. Ned came back to pick him up and she stood on her coffee table and was just as tall as he was. I thought it was adorable. She's like a little Polly Pocket.

Yes! I was going to write about how great it is that she is so much shorter than him, but it seemed like a random thing to say. It really adds to her charm, I think.

Well. This stinks.
But you know, losing 2-1 is really the same as losing 15-1. So let it rip, Boston, and Rockies, see if you can regroup tomorrow.

The score being 10-1 I think
justifies me watching ANTM at 8:00.

Do you know how lazy I am?
I went downstairs to watch television in the comfy chair. I grabbed a refreshing drink, a cookie, plopped my fat ass down, covered up... and forgot a bottle opener. I didn't want to walk back upstairs, so I tried to pry the top off with my teeth. After working with it for a few minutes I realized the top screwed off.

Nice summary
Too bad it's reminiscent of a television commercial.
The 5th inning turned from anguish to farce, so I was laughing by the third walk in a row that pushed across a run.
Why is the score so lopsided?? Too many off days. I reserve my disgust for MLB management for serving up this fraud.

Ugh
1] That AVIS commercial with the guy expressing his love for the GPS device is problematic.
2] Why would Kevin Spacey take a supporting role in this movie?
3] I don't have any evidence to support this, but I'm pretty convinced that if it was possible to peer directly into Josh Beckett's soul, you'd find a bottomless, pitch black pit of pure evil.
4] Speaking of Beckett, can someone explain to me how he managed to give up 36 home runs last year?
5] McCarver's use of the phrase "cocking that howitzer" = 12-15 seconds of acute unease for me.
6] If FOX persists in it's gee-isn't-that-a-lark obsession with the Red Sox bullpen drummers, I estimate there is a 75% chance I will develop a drinking problem by game 3.

If Spacey, McCarver and Beckett took turns praising the cocking of one another's howitzers, to the tuneful stylings of the Boston bullpen quintet? I'm betting apocalypse.
