Around SBN: Steve McNair Dead - Former NFL QB Shot and Killed


Open Thread: ALCS Game Three

Following games at Tampa Bay with final scores of 2-0 and 9-8, it's unclear what it will take to go up in this series that is currently tied one win a piece. Jon Lester, arguably Boston's best starting pitcher, gets the call against Matt Garza, who has the stuff but can be erratic - especially in the fourth inning, which has been his personal Waterloo this season.

First pitch is at 1:37pm PDT. The starting lineups:

Iwamura - 2B
Upton - CF
Pena - 1B
Longoria - 3B
Crawford - LF
Aybar - DH
Navarro - C
Baldelli - RF
Bartlett - SS

Ellsbury - CF
Pedroia - 2B
Ortiz - DH
Youkilis - 3B
Drew - RF
Bay - LF
Kotsay - 1B
Varitek - C
Cora - SS

GO DEVIL SOX!!!!!

I get to watch today’s game because it’s a holiday – yay for super-hottie Christian Columbus!!!! (Or do we now call it Indignant People’s Day?)

-Cindi

P.S. I should be studying for a retake of my Braids quiz but I think we both know that’s not gonna happen!

I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal

Meh.

I miss not worrying about where money is going to come from or how I’m going to pay my bills. I haven’t put makeup on in over a week. I put pants on today, so that’s a plus. I don’t remember the last time I fixed my hair. I think I visited the end of the internet yesterday. I’ve watched a lot of porn. I’ve cleaned the entire house.

I just get that vibe from watching him on tv. One day I will have to sit close enough to actually pinch his ass and test out my theory. And I don’t mean just any stranger…it a 400lb dude does it..he might be pissed off..but it you got a tall athletic young woman doing it…he will probably like it. I just get that feeling.
