I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis She had a moist vagina she took the midnight train going anywhere I said train kept a-rollin' all night long Train kept a-rollin' all night long Train kept a-rollin' all night long Train kept a-rollin' all night long With a heave and a ho Well don't you know that's the sound of the men working on the chain gang Oh, Oh, these chains of love got a hold on me, yeah. One of these mornings the chain is gonna break Chain, chain, chain (Chain...chain...chain..) Chain of fools! Wise Men say only fools rush in You got no money, you got no car, you got no woman, and there you are Sittin' downtown in a railway station, one toke over the line I don't get angry when my Mom smokes pot, Hits the bottle and goes right to the rock She's so high, like Cleopatra, Joan of Arc or Aphrodite Dear mother can you hear me laughing? Mama, I just killed a man A bullet had found him, His blood ran as he cried, No money could save him , So he laid down and he died "Where'd ya get the gun, John?" Told him take off all his clothes and put your penis next to mine And the Bulge in my big big big big big big big big big big big big big big BIG Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass, I like having a detachable penis. Swingin' to the drums, swingin' to guitar, swingin' to the bass in the back of my car Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm, Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm It's like candy, I can feel it when you walk, even when you talk it takes over me Tequila Truck on down to the candy store, Bust your konk on peppermint candy Standing on the corner with a piece of pizza, Eat To The Beat Isn't it awfully nice to have a penis? Like a rock, standing arrow straight I wish I was anything but a rock. Heck, I'd even like to be a policeman . Mama, Mama. Someone said they made some noise, the cops have shot some girls and boys. Police and thieves in the street, scaring the nation with their guns and ammunition. Take me home, take me home, ooh baby let's get outta here. They got the guns but we got the numbers, gonna' win, yeah we're taking over. Tell all the folks in Russia and China too I'll give you a man who wants to rule the world I'm gonna sell my house in town and I'll be there. To shine in your Japan, to sparkle in your China, yes I'll be there. Everyone around me is a total stranger, everyone avoids me like a cyclone ranger I told her dealer I was broke, he hired a camera man. We did a porno film for coke, I hear I'm big in Japan Hot sweet cherries on the vine Hey little apple blossom, what seems to be the problem? Worries, worries pile up on my head, Woe is me I should have stayed in bed. This is my penis song. I wish that I had a bigger shlong And I'm crazy for you Pink Thing. You make me want to laugh, you make me want to cry. When I stroke your head I feel a hundred heartbeats high. This is the song that never ends need a new song; I'll set the words up so they tear right at your soul

Just my second game of the season. Started out all kinds of bad offensively, and I said to my buddy that it looked like we would need the long ball to win it. Very glad it worked out that way. Oh, and Detroit really can't catch the baseball. That's been the biggest factor in our favor in this race.

Crown the Royals. I'm sick of getting beaten by that sad team.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Sep 6, 2012 -> 05:32 PM) Did they give any rationale why that would be an exception? The only thing I can hypothetically think of is that they somehow argued that wasnt for the truth of the matter asserted, and therefore it was outside of hearsay to begin with. But who knows, without seeing the transcript its hard to tell, especially since I didnt follow the case at all. Remember that Illinois changed its rules of evidence in 2008 specifically in response to the Drew Peterson case. "Drew's Law" created brand new hearsay exceptions basically crafted for use against him. The exception: http://www.lawserver.com/law/state/illinoi...ilcs_5_115-10-6 Examples of reported statements that came in at trial under the new exception: http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/exa...8849_story.html “’I could kill you and make it look like an accident.’” — The words of Drew Peterson to Savio as he put a knife to her throat, according to Savio friend Kristin Anderson. ___ “She said that Drew told her he was going to kill her, she was not going to make it to the divorce settlement, she would not get his pension or his children.” — Anna Doman testifying about what Savio, her sister, told her six weeks before she was found dead. ___ “’Why don’t you just die?’” — The words of Drew Peterson after he broke into Savio’s house, grabbed her by the throat and pinned her down a year before she was found dead, according to Savio friend, Mary Parks. ___ “Kathy told me that her husband ... had told her that he could kill her and make her disappear.” — Mary Parks testifying about what Savio said Drew Peterson told her. ___ “She wanted to know if the fact that he killed Kathy (Savio) could be used against him.” — Divorce attorney Harry Smith testifying about a conversation with Stacy Peterson days before she disappeared in 2007. She told him she was convinced Drew Peterson killed Savio three years earlier.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 7, 2012 -> 06:02 AM) Clinton got higher ratings than the NFL. Michelle got higher ratings than both of them. Wow, that's surprising to me, even considering it was like 8 networks to 1. Do you have the numbers?

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 6, 2012 -> 03:17 PM) You mean the wife they a- never proved was murdered and b-certainly didn't prove Drew murdered? This is actually quite terrifying. Do I believe Drew Peterson is a bad dude who probably killed some wives? Sure. Was there indisputable evidence to this fact? Absolutely not. The world changed a bit for the worse today, but I guess that's what appeals are for, right? Seriously, there was nowhere near any amount of evidence to prove Drew Peterson murdered anyone. These are my feelings exactly. Among many things that bother me about this entire case, it seems that the prosecution had to be scolded over and over again for violating court orders and alluding to inadmissable facts during the trial. Even if justice was done in one sense, it was achieved in a manner that was suspect in a lot of ways. Hell, the jury had to ask the judge what "unanimous" met. That alone is scary.

Since last evening was a two dog night (Quintana and Humber), I'm not sure a lyric from Three Dog Night is the best idea for a game thread title, but Go Sox. Time to man the f*** up, Jake.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Sep 1, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) Really? That's the best you got to worry about? What, me worry? Thanks for your concern though. I didn't know you cared.

I'm sure we've all known our share of jocks who embellish their athletic accomplishments (e.g., how much they can "bench", etc.) to "one-up" everyone else and make themselves sound that much better than you. Personally, I've aways hated those kind of douchebags. It looks like Paul Ryan is one of them. http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archiv...on-time/261866/ What is it with these VP picks?

I voted Sox take 2 of 3. I kind of have a bad feeling and really don't think that will happen, which is why it probably will.

How about Scarface: "Say hello to my little friend . . ." "You got a look in your eye . . ." "Say goodnight to the bad guy" Any sentence with an "okay?" or "meng" (for "man") on the end of it. e.g., "We take you to war, okay meng?"

QUOTE (Spiritinthesky @ Aug 27, 2012 -> 08:21 AM) Some people believe our lives are profoundly influenced by whatever pop song was #1 on the day we were born. I don't want to meet those people. Mine: "Mrs. Brown You've Got a Lovely Daughter" by Herman's Hermits - U.S. "Ticket to Ride" by The Beatles - UK and Australia

I have the box set, the MLB "official" WS one in the OP, and the Comcast produced one. ITS ALL GOOD.

QUOTE (Rooftop Shots @ Aug 25, 2012 -> 07:03 AM) I heard on MLB Network about a trade that is brewing up that Boston would send Beckett Crawford and Agone to the Dodgers for Loney and a few others. One......the trade is so lopsided that I cannot comprehend why Boston would even consider it, but 2,,,,,here my question.............................I don't understand the trade rules. If the trade deadline was July 31st, then how can a trade of this magnitude be talked about or even taking place with a team that is in contention? 7/31 is only the non-waiver deadline. Because of the salaries involved, everyone discussed passed through (with the exception of Agon, whom I think LA claimed). I think Cherington is looking to start fresh and get out from under the mess of bad contracts Theo left him before fleeing to the Cubs. At the same time, new Dodger ownership is flush with $ and looking to run down the vulnerable Giants.

It was very, very tough to put down "Gone Girl" by Gillian Flynn. Until the end.

They really do come in threes. Just today: Tony Scott; Phyllis Diller; Todd Akin's Senate chances.
