I’ll be watching the A’s game in about 40 minutes. Sorry JenJen as a confirmed Gyros hater I was really hoping Harper would do something with his last AB.
Fuck the Giants… Go A’s!
Tebow, I hope we can get to Verlander early.

BEING A STEELERS FAN MAKES YOU A BAD PERSON BY ITSELF, JUST FYI JOHN
@JenJen: I am SO glad I moved to a town with a major NCAA program and within a half hour of 3 AHL teams this offseason. I’m not sure I’d survive otherwise.
Time-Warner finally deigned to add the NFL Network here in the Hudson Valley, so I get to watch tonight’s game. But my god, that musical intro is an abomination. Truly awful.

@tulip: Thanks! Can I get a hug? And I’m one more in the thread for the A’s!
@wmsheppa: Word. We have ECHL in Cincinnati and I love to go to a game or two a year anyway, but I just bought a Cylones ticket package for the first time in years. I’d love to go see Miami University games, but they’re sold out forever and ever.
It is pretty cool that ESPN has been showing KHL games, and sticking it to the NHL in their coverage every chance they get. Still, I’m just sick for arena and bar & restaurant workers near NHL barns. That’s the part everyone always misses when millionaires are arguing with each other, you know? Cheers, anyway, to what should have been Opening Day!

Yahoo headline:
Billy Graham to Romney: ‘I’ll do all I can to help you’
Starting to get very depressed about the election. Not Sullivan depressed (his panic goes to 11), but depressed for my country. We have the emptiest suit of all empty suits, a man who is a truly bad human of poor character (I did some things in high school I’m not proud of, but I never hated anyone enough to hold them down and cut their hair), and I think their is a very good chance that sack of shit will be my president.
Obama has a shitty debate performance and he loses 3% of his support? Because he didn’t call out Mitt’s lies? Ironic that the narrative never became “Mitt lied”, it was “Obama is weak for not standing up to his lies” (I still wonder if that could have been a campaign ad for Obama).
I’m actually depressed that a substantial portion of this country is either:
1. Too stupid to realize they are voting against their self interest or
2. Too stupid too realize that Romney lies and is willing to look you in the eye and lie, and pretty much admit he’s lying or
3. Too racist to ever vote for a black man for president
When I hear people who were independents swinging toward Obama say they support Romney because he exudes confidence I just want to give up.
I’ll thow a few more bucks Obama’s way because no matter how disgusted I am with the adults in this country, no child deserves Mitt Romney as their president. Because somewhere there is a 17 year old who might be fighting in Iran soon.

@dr. bloor: Yea, we need more fucking moron redneck assholes like Bocephus and Big and Rich. Why bother having a brother when 80% of the league is AA. spit
Which school? Both Gopher teams are rated #1. The women won it all last season & the mean lost in the final 4 so we are pretty excited around here.
I love college hockey, its so much better than the NHL. When the top womens teams get together there is so much speed & play making (and not a little hitting despite the no checking rule which gets ignored when its the top teams).
I am so BUTT-HURT over the Reds losing, I want the ghost of Marge Schott shrieking at every member of the team, I want the ghost of Schottzie crapping all over them!

Matty H has one throw. It’s a frozen rope to the middle of the field 15 to 20 yards down field.
He can’t make any other throw to save his ass.

Even if the Steelers crap out a win (and I have my doubts that they will), it will be Pyrrhic. This is just horrible.
Isn’t the second o also kind of nasally and flat? I love that accent btw, I knew someone from b’more who could drop into it for laughs. To my west coast ear comes off very similar to a Philly inflection.
(I sorta disagree with Weaver on that: every team should have the skills to manufacture a run, because depending on the long bomb doesn’t always work. Some pitchers are really good at getting hitters to put it on the ground, so a manager should be willing and able to adjust the tactics for a particular game.)

FTFY and keep it comin!

@PeakVT: Ahem.
Proper pronunciation: “How ’bout dem O’s!”
These pitcher’s duels are killin me. Earl Weaver said that all you have to do to win is “pitching, defense, and 3-run homers”.
Where the hell is the last part of that equation?
