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.
by Kirsten Schlewitz on Oct 14, 2008 4:35 PM PDT up reply actions
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.

I didn't demand it be removed,
just noted that I’m hurt by its use.
I got choked up when they used it during the Seinfeld finale.

I liked them better when they wrote about masturbation and boredom.
Write what you know, right?
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.
by JI on Oct 14, 2008 4:33 PM PDT up reply actions
If they're facing elimination
I could see them going with Lester on short rest with Beckett available out of the pen.
by Jeff Sullivan on Oct 14, 2008 4:35 PM PDT up reply actions
It's not like he threw a complete game yesterday.
by JI on Oct 14, 2008 4:38 PM PDT up reply actions
More trustworthy than Beckett
and I can’t see them going with Materson or Byrd in an elimination game.
by Jeff Sullivan on Oct 14, 2008 4:39 PM PDT up reply actions
They close at 9 for some retarded reason
but god dammit I want to watch House uninterrupted, so if your coming in it better be worth it.
It's unbelievable how fucked the Red Sox are.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
Aaaand B2B2B XBHs
This inning is going to leave a really big smile on my face.
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.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
How Andy Sonnanstine ever gets swinging strikes, much less swinging strikeouts, I'll never know.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
See, now that was a far better inning than Tim Wakefield's
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
How do these dumbfucks not see that Bay hit ~the same as Manny did in Boston this season?
Jesus, they’re not the 85 Cardinals.
I love how snakebitten the Sox seem right now.
With the ominous feeling that it could turn at any moment.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
This is the coolest awesome ever

I'm so happy
You may gain some yards on the ground, but eventually Lofa will end up biting you in the ass.
PSA: I turned out every one of my lights and am running every faucet on scalding
in order to make up for this turn out the lights thing.
Don't forget to plug in 100 christmas lights
Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.
I turned out all my lights, but left my tv running

I was originally planning on driving around aimlessly in the Jeep Cherokee for about an hour or so.
But I’ve been feeling like crap all day, so meh.
I gotta say, I never expected this to happen in this series.
I really expected this series to be ALOT closer than this. It’s almost disappointing in a way.
The offdays are bad
but at least more of the games are accessible on tv.

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.

This is satisfying
I fucking hate you Mariners
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.
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.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
Jesus, Crawford went WAY outside the zone to get that ball.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
More proof that it's simply impossible to get them out.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
Totally fair
This is karmic payback for Boston winning two World Series and turning into a bunch of giant douchebags
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
WOOOO
Somebody call House, im suffering from awesomenitis.
Longoria was set to pitch in the 15th of the All-Star Game
I think he wants a shot at it now.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
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
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
It's a playoff game and it's good to respect your opponent and how important these games are by leaving your regulars in and acting like Boston could still win
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
That's why it's a tough call
I’m leaning towards doing it as a giant way of flipping them off
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
There is a time for sportsmanship.
This is not that time.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
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
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
Let's see if BJ Upton can still play shortstop
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
Sonnanstine should motion for all the outfielders to sit down on the grass, and proceed to strikeout/groundout the Sox for three innings.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
Next Rays homerun should result in a moonwalk around the bases
by Graham MacAree on Oct 14, 2008 7:07 PM PDT up reply actions
Upton should do "The Worm" around the basepaths.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
The ultimate insult would be to hit the homer and then not round the bases.
Grab a microphone and say that you’re choosing not to score then run, because you feel it’s not necessary.
That's a good idea
No reason to get injured jogging the bases
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
what you said
No Mercy is a giant shellacking, more likely done by the regulars
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
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.
How about gifs?
Can we have gifs of stunned Sox fans?
The Rays haven't really scored enough to satisfy me yet.
Thankfully, there are three innings left.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
Yeah, I want to see a 21-1 shellacking
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
I noticed yesterday that Sonnanstine has virtually the same 2008 tRA as James Shields.
Have to say I did not expect that.
Andy Sonnanstine is two-hitting the Red Sox.
I WANT TO DIP MY BALLS IN THIS GAME.
FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS!
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
I really want to get a Sonnanstine Rays jersey
but then I’d look like a bandwagoner. I really should have done it in April
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
You had your opportunity.
Jeff’s been talking him up for a year now.
J.P. Howell kindly requests that you please Bach the fuck up.
I'm pretty sure that would have made you a LLemming.
by Graham MacAree on Oct 14, 2008 7:11 PM PDT up reply actions
Yes
but there is nothing wrong at all with being a LLemming
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
But inapplicable to the larger world
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
Yeah see I'm still a Blackhawks fan
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
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.
It's certainly a factor
That and US$200 that would have to be pulled from my highway fund
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
More reason to hate Boston fans:
Ditching their team.
Tomorrow they come back with Rays jerseys. Douchebags.

Crap I hate when my keyboard reverts to the other profile for some reason
That should read “I will never be able to dislike Mike Timlin”
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
My freshman year I rearranged my keyboard in alphabetical order and set up the keyboard profile
I changed it back after a month but for some reason my computer periodically switches back to it
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
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
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard
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.

You don’t take notes?

I know where you're going
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
I can tell you it hasn't
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
but I wouldn't mind if it did
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
Not that bad
If it’s preinstalled on the windows then you can pretty easily switch it around.
And it makes more sense than doing it in alphabetical order where you have to stretch for “A”
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
Seems based on some odd premises.
Why should you type predominantly with your right hand? And I don’t understand how the bottom row is more difficult to reach than any other key.
I think it depends ont he hands
Mine seem to like the bottom row better
Determined, Jonesing Commentor | Proud proprietor of Washingtonhighways.org
Honestly
If you already know QWERTY, it’s not worth switching. If you don’t know how to touch type, it’s worth learning on Dvorak, you’ll be faster and have less stress. I’ve already switched and lost 3 months of productivity at the time so I’m not going back and doing it again.

So Frank from "Frank TV" was on Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN, today.
He said he asked the marketing department if they would lower the number of TV spots during the playoffs. The head marketing guy told him “No”.
So Frank apologized for all the freaking ads.
TBS has a total of 4 ads to run during breaks.
That’s why we see Frank TV and that damn Poltergeist DirecTV ad every time.
I can't imagine that it's doing anything to help the show's ratings.
I had a modicum of interest last year — mostly because his GW Bush is pretty incredible — but I now refuse to watch it. And I don’t know a single person who has ever seen it.
This just cannot be smart.

I dunno, let me see what I can drum up.
