Today, as I'm getting my diet coke from the vending machine, the following little vignette plays out behind me in the hallway. I saw neither participant. Male voice: Yo, Amanda, how come you always look so good? Female voice (presumably Amanda): I wish I smelled better!

YAY!

Well played, kid.

I don't believe for a second that it's the real Beatle Bob, but he's got a point.

Can we get a $$ amount for a Stephen A. Smith reading of this one?

During the game, they were talking about how Lenny Clarke had lost a hundred pounds. Ction does not lose weight. So, to answer your question, yes, I called ction fat.

The Youkilis thing was awesome - wondering when it was going to show up on youtube! But I'll agree totally about Lenny Clarke being a waste of fucking air during the game last night. I'm surprised the other three didn't suffocate. Couldn't have gotten them out of the booth fast enough...

Of course

You mean he's not going to be voiced by John Travolta? I will not see your movie.

Damn straight.

That's too bad. I was a big fan.

The basis for calling it an error should be that if Wily Mo had played it cleanly, the batter would have been out. That the runner on third would have probably scored is debatable, and can be used in a discussion of whether or not to credit Monroe with an RBI, but has no bearing on whether or not he got a hit on the play. Personally, I don't think the runner would have scored, as Pena was very shallow with his momentum carrying him towards home plate, if slightly obliquely. Regardless, it was called how it was called, and it really doesn't matter whether it was a hit or an error or a wild pitc

I went to school for five years or so in Charlottesville, and went back last year for the first time in a while. Aside from some serious sprawl issues that have developed over the last ten years or so, it's a great little town.

I realize his momentum was carrying him toward the stands, but he was 20 yards behind first base! Regardless of whether or not the run was going to score (hardly a foregone conclusion, IMO), his misplay allowed Craig Monroe to reach base. Seems pretty fundamental to me.

How the Christ they called the batted ball (from Craig Monroe) that was misplayed by Wily Mo Pena in the seventh a hit is beyond me. He was under the ball and it hit the side of his glove and dropped to the ground, allowing the batter to reach base and the runner on third to score. On what planet is that not an error? I say this because it was a bullshit call, and not only because I have Mike Timlin on my fantasy team.

Quite frankly, he could probably use the gig.

If the band doesn't have a problem with him being on stage, and you're thinking about throwing something at a guy who's enjoying the music in his own way, then that's fucking ridiculous. Letting someone else's dancing bother you so freakin much that you contemplate doing him harm is fucking ridiculous. To let someone else's actions - outside of screaming in your ear or stepping on your kids - get in the way of your enjoyment of a rock and roll concert is fucking ridiculous. As far as whether or not you want him up on the stage, that decision is up to the band. If they say he gets to be up t

Nice red dress on Scarlett, there, McCarthy.

How, exactly, did we stop the communist advance in Vietnam? -what cryptique said.

That's fucking ridiculous.

Flattered as I am that you think so, I'm really not that close to the band. wHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING? sWEET SASSY MOLASSEY....

Not too far from the attitude of some others around here, though.

I hope you're kidding, but on the off chance you're not - if somebody pointing out that Jeff's put on a few pounds is enough to send him "into a downward spiral of depression," then he's in the wrong business. Likewise, he should be well used to people discussing the quality of his writing, and thus should be able to handle it. He's a big boy, and he's been doing this a long time. He'll weather the criticism of his physique, and time will tell if the new album is up to par or not. Jesus, people.
