You cannot use "our song" for another team.

It’s like creating a mixed cd for one girlfriend and then when you hook up with another, using the same mix.

What if a gf makes you a mixed cd

And then when you break up you give it to someone else?

by Sec 108 on Oct 14, 2008 4:37 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I've done this several times.

Never paid any price.

I’m sorry, the mixes I make are so great, so ingenius in their sequencing and variety and quality, that it would be a shame to lose those inspired segues and juxtapositions merely because the girlfriend you originally gave them to turned out to be a psychopath.

They can always remove him from the roster

or the could with Masterson or Byrd if he can’t go. If he’s not right their bullpen is going have to absorb a lot of innings.

oh, thank you VERY much.

I'm listening to the Rays radio feed, and it's great except for this INCONCEIVABLY PAINFUL anti-smoking ad

It’s just an old guy coughing and hacking and wheezing into my eardrums for a minute. Jesus fuck, we get it, smoking is bad. Don’t force me to mute the sound, assholes.

I love how snakebitten the Sox seem right now.

With the ominous feeling that it could turn at any moment.

You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.

If Upton were still at SS,

that would have been a double and an infield single.

Boston is screwed

They have Dike-K sure, but for game 6 it seems they have a lot of options, but none of them pleasant.

Oh RAYS never leave me!

Hope you guys are enjoying the post season.

Never have I been bent over so far for the Rays. They have always been my #4 team, but God I hate the Red Sox they suck fecal matter filled booty.

by Slica on Oct 14, 2008 6:52 PM PDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

I just can't believe how utterly dominant the Rays look.

It’s simply impossible to get them out, up and down the order. Except for Perez, every player in the lineup has been on base, and every one except Iwamura through hits.

The Red Sox do NOT have a bad bullpen. It’s just that the Rays are that good.

Assuming they win the ALCS, I pity the team that has to face them in the WS.

Longoria was set to pitch in the 15th of the All-Star Game

I think he wants a shot at it now.

No we don't want the Rays turning into a bunch of giant douchebags

Because they’re going to be winning for the next 20,000,000 years and I think they should keep it classy

It is Boston though so tough call

That's why it's a tough call

I’m leaning towards doing it as a giant way of flipping them off

Then lets show those Beaneaters how horrible they are

Let’s fill the outfield with pitchers and the infield with outfielders and let infielders pitch and catch

Respect your opponent? Act like they can still win?

What the fuck is this? No mercy.

No Mercy is a giant shellacking, more likely done by the regulars

That would be my only dilemma as a manager in this situation.

Do I want to keep pouring it on even though I’m already up by 10 runs? Or do I want to tell the Red Sox “Hey, we have you beat. We’re gonna play the backups because we know you will not win today.”

I’d probably just put it to a vote and let the players decide.

Andy Sonnanstine is two-hitting the Red Sox.

I WANT TO DIP MY BALLS IN THIS GAME.

FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS!

but then I’d look like a bandwagoner. I really should have done it in April

In fact the only piece of evidence I have that indicates that I have been rooting for the Rays since the beginning of the season

is a Facebook wall post where I told a Red Sox fan to “watch out for the rays” back in April. And it was to a girl so it doesn’t really count

Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org

Yes

because it’s all about how you look to other people.

by Matthew on Oct 14, 2008 7:15 PM PDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

It's certainly a factor

That and US$200 that would have to be pulled from my highway fund

Ditching their team.

Tomorrow they come back with Rays jerseys. Douchebags.

Rec'd for bluntness

I was testing to see if I could have two sets of muscle memory where my fingers could type in two different patterns to achieve the same objective

It failed and I was unable to type normally for a while

Dvorak FTW

I learned it in college and haven’t gone back. I can’t touch-type on QWERTY anymore though. But I haven’t rearranged my keyboard, I just don’t look at the keys.
