Sorry about the late thread

It’s not my day, but I don’t think anyone else is threading today.

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

The one from just a few weeks ago

where he says his “surfer” persona was all just an act to get girls. and then acts all bitchy to his teammates in the clubhouse.

Hmm.

The clubhouse thing? I didn’t know about it. Is this a thing that began after he became a Giant?

There are plenty of men who put on acts to get girls. It is no different when someone who is famous does it.

Yes, it’s stuff he was doing in the Giants clubhouse while talking to the reporter for the article.

A lot of A’s fans loved him for his off-kilter persona, so to hear him spell out how he faked all the different elements of it… rather sucks.

i named a fish after Zito. He died. The Fish..not the real Zito. The real Zito it still alive..though less talented..but I still want him. But that’s besides the point. Atleast no one named their kids after Bobby Crosby…

Yeah, he grew up to go to a decent college, play major league baseball

and earn about 10 million dollars before he reaches age 30.

Okay, so I missed the funs in the ALCS thread.

1. Woonsocket, RI. I hire a lotta people from there. Seems like not a very nice place. I think I would prefer to visit Swoonrocket.

2. HR Lady Schmifty says NOOO PINCHING BUTTS IN THE WORKPLACE PLEASE. No harassment cases. I haven’t yet learned what you’re supposed to do with them. So for now, we just can’t have them.

3. YAY SUX LOSE YAAAAY. Normally, to offend the Sux-loving neighbors, I fire up “New York, New York” on my laptop and aim the speakers out the front windows. But that’s not exactly relevant this time. I will have to think of something else.

The great thing about the Rays beating the Sox

is that Tampa is the Yankees’ 2nd HQ (George Steinbrenner lives there).

One of the funnier things on the erstwhile Mike and the Mad Dog show on WFAN

was Mike Francesca reading George Steinbrenner’s press releases (mainly bizarre rants after Yankee losses about how losing was unacceptable) with the theme from Patton playing in the background.
