Against a southpaw, it's important to bench your bad lefties and start your bad righties.

What an awesome broadcast line re: Ichiro from the A’s broadcasters…

Am I the only one who feels a bit sorry for Oakland?

Yeah we need to feast on the weaker teams, which we’ve done a poor job of this year. Swept by Cleveland at home? Split with Kansas City at home? Yadda yadda yadda. But I still feel bad for the As.

I went to a game at the Coliseum in early July, and I swear they opened the doors to homeless and mentally ill people just to fill the seats. That was better than the empty silence now hands down. Well, silence punctuated by occasional viewers ironically yelling “Here we go Oakland here we go”.

Blame their owner.

Won’t give Beane money to do his job at full capacity.

That was borderline racist

Jodie Foster was great in the movie and aliens are really our friends and we co-exist with them.

Hey, are the AAA or AA teams playoff bound this year by chance?

He molests bunnies?

by rickpo on Sep 5, 2009 7:22 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Pedo as in pedometer

He is a fast walker, like a rabbit.

Rabbits are said to hop, but they actually walk. They never land on two feet and technically they are walking or running.

Cats on the other hand, they can land equivocally on all 4’s and that is known as a hop.

White people refer to hops as beer. The blacks refer to hops as in vertical or jumping (see: Wesley Snipes in that movie with the white guy who had a dad who was a murderer).

He might also mean that Luke French likes children.

When Jason Vargas dies

And they find the body, I guarantee the piano outro of “layla” will be playing.

I’d bed money on that.

by Karma Police on Sep 5, 2009 7:28 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

Nice one, Scorsese

The only bed money you are going to see is for that futon in your room after you finally upgrade to a Twin bed to allow room for your ferret to join you.

Ah Christ, I’m sorry. I have issues.

Hey, do you think the M’s will sign Ben Sheets next year?

She seemed excited.

I felt embarresed because I was just doing my job and all but she was very gratful. Baked me a muffin. Perhaps I wíll eat it. It reminded me of her muffin top.

Wait what?

I thought he was pretty well-liked around here, except for the whole Coach-baiting thing, but it seems like he was just playing along or something.

Shit I thought you like him

I need to pay attention to the whole LL clique structure thing I guess.

by Karma Police on Sep 5, 2009 8:23 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I am not part of any LL clique.

I find most of the youth on LL to be immature and uninteresting. Not that I haven’t been there myself, but hypocrisy is what I do best.

Sig figs.

Batista can make the best games boring. And this one wasn’t very good to start with.

A Canadian walks into a bar and ordered a beer. The bartender replied, "Sorry, we don't serve Canadians in this bar."

“But I’m really thirsty,” the Canadian replied. “I’ll do anything for a beer!”

“Okay,” says the bartender,“if you can do three things, I’ll get you a beer.”

“First,” says the bartender,“do you see that big guy standing by the door? 6’5”, 275 pound ex-NFL linebacker who got thrown out of the league for being too mean and nasty? You gotta knock him out cold and drag him out of the bar. That’s number one."

“Number two. Back in the kitchen we got this Doberman Pinscher. He’s mean, he’s nasty, he’s vicious, he’s hungry, and he’s got a bad tooth. You gotta remove his bad tooth. That’s number two.”

“Number three. Upstairs we got a 70-year-old, 300 pound hooker. You gotta screw her until she climaxes three times. That’s number three.”

“I’ll do it!” screams the Canadian. “What’s first?”

“First is the big guy by the door.”

The Canadian leaps to his feet and runs headfirst into the huge man. The two of them are rolling on the floor with fists and blood flying everywhere. Finally, the Canadian smashes a chair over his head and drags him from the bar.

Panting and bleeding, he askes the bartender, “Okay, what’s next?”

“Number two is the dog in the kitchen.”

The Canadian runs into the kitchen. The bartender hears barking, yelling, snarling, screaming, and jaws snapping, followed by a long, painful howling that obviously came from the dog.

The Canadian runs out of the bar, his clothes all ripped and filthy, and says to the bartender, “Okay, where’s the old lady with the bad tooth?”
