I can't watch the game tonight - my wife is watching the TV.

I guess my night is going to be pretty good, then.

I don't feel anything anymore.

The only thing that's better that Ben Sheets pitching like crap

is not being able to score of Ben Sheets while he’s pitching like crap.

Ugh

Dodgers losing to the Nats.

If it wasn't for college football I'd probably have given up on sports.

Fantastic on both sides.

I'll shut up lest you ban me like you banned butthol.

Random gem from "Gets by Buckner" - Met's blog..
I tell you the only true measure for a pitcher’s performance is ERA and IP. W’s are just a result of the other two combined with other factors out of the starter’s control, such as his bullpen, the opposing pitcher, and his own team’s offense.

http://www.getsbybuckner.blogspot.com/

I saw a link to it from another blog.. That’s my alibi.

Yep.

I think he was referring to bullshit

As noted by “shit word” as in “a word that contains the word shit in it.”

We've called Raul a quadriplegic on this site before

would you be offended if your brother-in-law was a quadriplegic?

by Fogel on Aug 26, 2008 7:10 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

All in all, retard is an LL approved word.

If you don’t like it, well that’s kinda too bad.

by Graham on Aug 26, 2008 7:12 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Was that reply supposed to go to me?

I don’t have a problem with the use of the word “retard” as it relates to this team.

All in all, I really don't care.

This was blown out of proportion. I’m not that thin skinned.

I don't feel anything anymore.

Oh, so turn it into a racial issue.

Thin skinned people are equal, too!

Quadriplegic isn't derogatory.

Look, I’m no fucking humanitarian, but I just don’t like the word.

I don't feel anything anymore.

by kevin_ess on Aug 26, 2008 7:11 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Retard is only derogatory if you let it offend you.

After all, it means slow. It could apply to someone with a hangover…

by pakipaki on Aug 26, 2008 7:16 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Now that is a good point.

Which begs the question of why I’m on the street. I guess I’m retarded too.

I don't feel anything anymore.

I have watched Raul throw that ball in the ground a thousand times.

And for some reason, I just busted out laughing watching him do it on the 1026th throw. Not that it wasn’t funny before, but it just hit me on that throw more than ever.

I'm going to have an aneurysm watching him some day.

What a way to go.

Lopez has gotten too many at bats

and we can’t give him Cairo’s spot because we need to see what Cairo offers us for next year.

Lopez is DHing

Probably because he’s awesome

That was assumed.

But 6.6% compared to my normal 4.4% for Abita Amber meant that yes, there is a noticeable difference.

Anybody else having trouble with mlb.tv today?

It plays for a few seconds then freezes.

He swims automatically, and if you hold A he swims likes he’s on PCP

Your controler must have been broke

because Frog Mario basically runs on auto pilot

He can’t sink

I like the Wii game.

I’ve only played it a little, and I’m not very competitive when it comes to video games, but I have a good time with it.

Mario Kart DS online is terrible.

I think there are N64 emulators with online play.

Given your problems with Frog Mario

I’d say you’d be well matched against Jeffie

That's the problem with N64/Gamecube/ect emulations

Finding a controller with the same or more buttons. I use a PS2 controller.

Fair point.

I don’t play a ton of 2-D games — at least not those that really need the D-Pad.

Braid, for instance, was awesome with the analog stick.

But Street Fighter II sucks on the 360.

I would love love love

to see the weights they apply to power ups based on racer position.

Mario Kart’s power up system is absolute shit. Its a testament to how good the rest of the game is that people play it.

But I haven’t done anything except TT for a longass time so it’s not at the top of my brain.

TT?

I once saw this awesome report some dude spent hundreds of hours putting together on all the little cheap shit that is in Nintendo games. It had everything from who was the fastest in SSBM based on FRAMES to which games give you advantage just for being player 1.
