Manny's brief time on the Southside beginning in predictably hilarious fashion.

lol@the bird noises.

Damn it.

Clicked on the slam forum with the intention of finding this thread to pose a question. It was at the top of the list. Phenomenal. What is the earliest you would drink? It's 1:30 and I'm in business already. Not a thing I would readily admit to my everyday aquaintances I guess.

Farmer talking to DJ is gold. I would listen to this even if they were discussing lawn care or cardboard boxes.

Freakin' Garcia. Holding the Yankees to 5 hits and 2 runs (1 earned). Build on this. Don't let this be the high point of the series.

QUOTE (beckham15 @ Aug 27, 2010 -> 08:49 PM) threets is looking pretty good tonight Threets hasn't really looked bad at all, from what I can recall. I've missed games here and there earlier in the year on account of work, and I don't know his stats, but everytime I watch he gets the job done.

Nice, now acquire him. I really don't want this to drag until the last possible second. Several games will be played between now and then.

It's nice of the Yankees and their bats to visit while Putz/Thornton are on the DL and the Mariners are entertaining the Twins.

I want to print a million copies of that page and others like it to throw from the nearest tall building. Should have, not should of!

How about our guy who stepped in for Hudson after he got dealt?

Please sustain this 3 run lead.

No Hideki?

Yeah, why should NBA-ers and NFL-ers be the only ones that get to play out free agency and contract situations through twitter...

ed farmer doing both tv and radio.

Available in 8 days... Would this even show up on the back of his baseball card?

QUOTE (11and1 @ Aug 22, 2010 -> 09:09 PM) And don't tell me it's a function of the smaller market; the Favre sideshow shows the Twin Cities are as susceptible to those distractions as anyone. You could make an island the size of an NFL stadium more important than the majority of places in the world as long as an NFL stadium is on that island.

lol@ the Sox outscoring the Twins by 9 runs this series.

I keep telling myself that this is Pavano and that he shouldn't be shutting us down. I had nothing but bad feelings going into the first two. I feel better about going into this one. It might just be that my worries were realized in games one and two and the damage done won't be forgotten even with a win here, or it might be that every once in a while even the Pirates and Orioles win a game, and this team is due.

I should add that many of my afore-mentioned friends were #1 Blackhawks fans in the late stages of this past season, were all about Michael Phelps during his run, and were futbol hooligans this past June. Also, watch the f*** out if the Cubs are looking good towards the end of the regular season and/or postseason. Not sayin', just sayin'...

I like football but I just don't get as excited about it as the majority do. The year round coverage is something I wish would just go away and die. When it actually is football season, I find the sports section nearly unreadable for much of the week, with the Monday morning game/around the league recap and NBA coverage being the only redeeming qualities. QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Aug 17, 2010 -> 01:10 PM) I think the biggest reason football is so much more popular than any other sport is the short attention span of Americans, and more importantly, the American sports fan. I agree with this. A lot of people I know refuse to watch baseball on tv and their litany of reasons usually follows the line of nothing happens, it's so slow, etc. They'll only watch if they go to the game where they can drink, people watch, and (presumably) not watch the game. Also, in baseball guys aren't taken down with the force of small vehicle collisions every few moments. Not cool.

I hope Liriano forgot how to throw that slider that ends up somewhere near the ankles and entices our SWAT team of Konerko and Quentin. That would make this game easier to watch.

Glory.
