So to sum up...

Phillies won
Yankees
won
Dodgers
lead 5-2 with two on and Manny up.
Update

ManBoobs

into a 6-4-3, how many LOB for LA tonight? He said they’ve had 2 or more on in 6 of 7 innings.

Hey, I just bought the team from Lew Wolff... who wants to play third?

by emperor nobody on Oct 7, 2009 9:58 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

At one point each team had 9 LOB but that was a while back

I think LA has loaded the bases three times…

I always had a plan.

drive straight theough the main entrancethen go right away from the stadium. there is an exit you can park near. By the time you walk from your seat to the car, that exit was clear and it was a quick trip though the neighborhood to the freeway. never failed me.

I Love L.A.

Hate New York City
It’s cold and it’s damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let’s leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town’s a little bit too rugged
For you and me you bad girl

Rollin’ down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin’ hot from the north
And we was born to ride

Roll down the window put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys baby
Don’t let the music stop
We’re gonna ride it till we just can’t ride it no more

From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody’s very happy
’Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day

I love L.A. (We love it)
I love L.A. (We love it)

Look at that mountain
Look at those trees
Look at that bum over there, man
He’s down on his knees
Look at these women

I think we've all arrived at a very special place.

And…why is the rum gone? Of course.

One: because it is a vile drink that turns even the most respectable men into complete scoundrels. Two: that signal is over a thousand feet high. The entire royal navy is out looking for me, do you think there is even the slightest chance they wont see it?

If I were taller and skinnier, perhaps.

Though when I was younger (and, thus, skinnier) I’d heard on more occasion that my facial structure sorta resembled that of Mr. Depp and/or Skeet Ulrich.

Not so much anymore. I blame the beer. And rum.

Unfortunately no, I'm 100% sober.

Aside from the vicodin that isn’t doing shit for the pinched nerve in my neck.

It was our anniversary today so I missed a lot of the Yankee game.

I saw most of the Dodger game and ‘ya know it seemed kid of boring really. I couldn’t get into it. The Yankee /Twins was a little better. I really wanted David to beat Goliath, so it didn’t really satisfy either. I hope I feel more connected tomorrow. I detest the Halos and Boston so I expect to feel the burn when that game comes on.
