Says who?

Or, who reads it.

I will be there. Flying in from NYC. Always wanted to visit Austin and this lineup was too tough to pass up.

This is officially insane.

Holy shit those are some awful commercials.

I can't believe Sil had the gun in the bag in the backseat.

A friend pointed out to me that Sil had all the documentation from the Bing when he got shot. When the cops show up to clean up the crime scene they are going to stumble onto a gold mine of information. Not good. Selling Phil down the river to the cops to save himself and his family is Tony's only out right now. He's got no one left. I think this is his only choice.

So, I said one month. It turned out to be (less than) a week. Sue me.

So much happened last night. Too much, I'd say. Instead of jam-packing everything into one episode couldn't they have strung this out a bit over the prior episodes? I suppose they needed time to build the bad blood between Phil and Tony, but Phil just decides to whack the top 3 in the family? Seemed a bit forced to me. Still a great episode. I think the gift of the Sopranos is how Chase actually gets you to feel badly for guys like Bobby and Sil and Tony.

It's also funny how you keep arguing with them, as if this one next point you make or stat you show is going to set off a light bulb and bring them to the good side of the force.

I understand that 2007 is no 1967. Really, I do. But I think being alive for 2007 has been pretty effin awesome so far. Best year in music that I can remember for a long time...

All imaginary runners slide spikes up in total dick-move mode!!

Maybe for my grand plan for all-star wkd, ARod's team doesn't have to field or pitch. Let's just figure out what the avg # of runs is and give that to the other team. Spot them 4 runs, say, and A-Rod just keeps hitting until he makes 27 outs. After every 3 outs, his imaginary runners are cleared away and he starts as if it's a new inning. Then, make it a good (not great) pitching/fielding team that he is going up against. Maybe the Indians? Or the Braves? See what happens. This can be done. EDIT: The Sports Guy does this for a living. Such bullshit.

They should put on an exhibition game of 9 A-Rods against some random team for All-Star Weekend. Make it a 7 inning game. ARod hits over and over again and when he gets on base they could do like we did when I was a kid playing stickball. Imaginery runner on 2nd base. That would solve this once and for all. I haven't figured out the pitching and fielding part though.

I am patiently waiting for this album to leak, and for a show in NYC to be announced. My patience is wearing thin.

Police cancel reunion tour 2 shows in...

Also, in defense of Ninjas, et. al, I think the brushback pitch assumes that you are not only throwing inside, but also high. I think we can all agree that throwing inside is not a dick move, but throwing high and tight gets a little closer to the dick move line.

It just occurred to me that I have no idea where the term bush league comes from.

I'm with cryptique. It's a great album, but I think that a few of the others hold up better. I find that the folks that think Sgt Pepper is the band's crowning achievement, tend to be people that were blown away by the album when it was released back in 67. Still, though, such a wonderful album. And I could look at that album cover for hours.

Mets take 2 of 3 from the Giants. This is turning out to be a fun year for Mets fans. Even without Pedro. There was an interesting article in the Post the other day about how Mets fans cant boo Bonds (they did) if they also don't boo Mota (they didn't). I agree with this.

great minds

So you are happy to get rid of your starting DH so that you can pick up a fifth outfielder?

...which is why it's bush league. And the circle closes.

Listen to the bass go boom explosion

Yeah of course not. I mean more that, in general, when players are rounding the bases on popups if you watch them, they generally just put their heads down and run. Or just dog it and don't run. I have never seen a player running and saying something or yelling at a fielder while running.
