Kyle Baker said...: @Karina

"Porn" is just a euphemism in this sense for pictures of scantily-clad women.; 8/29/2010 2:09 PM
spank said...: @ Karina

How 'bout the Porn Drunks; 8/29/2010 2:09 PM

karina said...: @Spanky I can't do that, so far I don't like porn; 8/29/2010 2:11 PM
karina said...: Thats's my King!; 8/29/2010 2:12 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: That "Just for Men" commercial does not belong on the LLWS.; 8/29/2010 2:12 PM
MR.F said...: Back-to-back doubles! We're only down by 6!; 8/29/2010 2:13 PM
Kyle Baker said...: "so far I don't like porn"

That's a classic line.; 8/29/2010 2:16 PM
NicJ said...: its an acquired taste.; 8/29/2010 2:17 PM
karina said...: @Mr F as always I like the way you talk

@Dusty Baker I mean it, the only porn movie I saw left me traumatized; 8/29/2010 2:17 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Karina, you're cracking me up today. Thanks for your humour - intentional or otherwise - during this otherwise miserable game.

Rancho Mannyiendo!!!!; 8/29/2010 2:19 PM
karina said...: @Mr LASF I love everyone's team names.Yours is great. When playing fantasy baseball/soccer I usually go by "Peanuts" that's too dorky; 8/29/2010 2:19 PM
MR.F said...: Rancho Ardiendo!; 8/29/2010 2:20 PM
karina said...: @Dusty Baker this is not intentional :(; 8/29/2010 2:21 PM
NicJ said...: i dont think ive ever seen that.; 8/29/2010 2:21 PM
Josh S. said...: And a Simers piece was born.; 8/29/2010 2:21 PM
spank said...: Awwww, Karina's a delicate flower

(wipes tear); 8/29/2010 2:21 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Will that be Manny's last AB?; 8/29/2010 2:22 PM

NicJ said...: andrew siciliano will not be fun to listen to tomorrow.; 8/29/2010 2:22 PM
MR.F said...: Yeah... huh?; 8/29/2010 2:22 PM
MR.F said...: I think Joe Torre did that just to spite MoKM.; 8/29/2010 2:23 PM
spank said...: That was FUCKING BULLSHIT man. FUCK THAT; 8/29/2010 2:23 PM
NicJ said...: come on karina, you have to admit defeat after that.; 8/29/2010 2:23 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I WANT TO RIP SOMEONE'S HEAD OFF; 8/29/2010 2:23 PM
MR.F said...: I nominate Bill Plaschke's.; 8/29/2010 2:24 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Japan takes a 4-1 lead.; 8/29/2010 2:24 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Plaschke's going to rip into Manny like a plump Christmas goose.; 8/29/2010 2:24 PM
MR.F said...: It was a trap.; 8/29/2010 2:24 PM
NicJ said...: pitch limit takes another victim.; 8/29/2010 2:24 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Wait, which one is the plump christmas goose?; 8/29/2010 2:25 PM
MR.F said...: I could go for a plump Christmas goose right about now.; 8/29/2010 2:25 PM
NicJ said...: i like manny, a lot but i think it would be hilarious if that was his last AB as a dodger.; 8/29/2010 2:25 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Ozzie Guillen was also tossed. Beautiful symmetry.; 8/29/2010 2:26 PM
NicJ said...: unintentional comma.; 8/29/2010 2:26 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: The Professor's in. Two spots left.; 8/29/2010 2:26 PM
Paul said...: Finally getting on a normal comp. Still room in the league or should I leave the space open and just heckle you all?; 8/29/2010 2:27 PM
karina said...: @NicJ I won;t admit defeat 'till math tells me so

@Spanky if you knew what I saw, you'd understand :(; 8/29/2010 2:27 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: @Paul - See ^above^; 8/29/2010 2:27 PM
spank said...: Why did they take Manny out? Did he get hurt? I'm on Gameday I can't see what's going on. Is there not a gawd?

TORRE: My fist,Your Face; 8/29/2010 2:27 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Paul

Get in the league AND heckle us all.; 8/29/2010 2:27 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: @Spanky - Manny was ejected after arguing a called first strike. That's right. FIRST STRIKE.; 8/29/2010 2:28 PM
NicJ said...: paul and karina should fill up the last two spots.; 8/29/2010 2:28 PM
karina said...: ^won't; 8/29/2010 2:28 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Spank

He was tossed for arguing balls and strikes. After one pitch. That was outside. That was called a strike.; 8/29/2010 2:28 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: As Dylan Hernandez points out, Torre never came out to defend Manny. Joe knows it's over (both the season and Manny's tenure in LA).; 8/29/2010 2:29 PM
NicJ said...: the little victorinos only have two more outs to work with.; 8/29/2010 2:31 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Karina's in! One more spot, so hurry on up!; 8/29/2010 2:31 PM
spank said...: What are you on Dial up,Paul?; 8/29/2010 2:31 PM
Kyle Baker said...: "Where is the high speed for hicks you promised Obama?!?"

That was funny, Paul.

I want my damn high speed rail, too.; 8/29/2010 2:32 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Paul, there's this new service called AOL that you should try out.; 8/29/2010 2:32 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: I'm still waiting for the light rail and subway to the sea that .5% sales tax hike is supposed to bring.; 8/29/2010 2:32 PM
MR.F said...: High speed rail is coming. At least, I'm working on it...; 8/29/2010 2:33 PM
karina said...: Paul, what are you waiting for?; 8/29/2010 2:33 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: I was hoping for a Son to participate just to lend the league a little street cred, but I'm just happy nearly every spot is filled.; 8/29/2010 2:34 PM
NicJ said...: the sons have seemed mostly absent here for a while.

They must have lives or something.; 8/29/2010 2:35 PM
NicJ said...: SUCK IT VICTORINO!!; 8/29/2010 2:36 PM
spank said...: @ MLASF

We can always vote someone out to add a son.Like what happened to Pedro; 8/29/2010 2:36 PM
MR.F said...: BAHAHAHAH

Great idea, Spanky!; 8/29/2010 2:36 PM
Paul said...: K I am an idiot. I am
on the main page where is the join button?; 8/29/2010 2:36 PM
spank said...: I was actually rooting for Lasorda to come out of his cave and join the shenanigans; 8/29/2010 2:37 PM
MR.F said...: Matt Kemp has 2 hits today.; 8/29/2010 2:37 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I'll be 4,213 before high speed rail is finished, unfortunately.; 8/29/2010 2:38 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: The Little Ichiros beat the Little Victorinos.; 8/29/2010 2:38 PM
karina said...: @Paul in the third top from the bottom sidebar there's a button: join a league/

You're not a idiot.; 8/29/2010 2:38 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Mr F

I'm just joshing around re high speed rail. Bug proponent of the project. Think we should pour shitload of cash into the project to create jobs and to make it easier for me to get upstate to heckle Paul in person.; 8/29/2010 2:39 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: There's still one spot left, and it's up for grabs. Anyone can claim it, not just Paul. It's a public league, so there's nothing I can do about who participates.; 8/29/2010 2:39 PM
MR.F said...: @DB,
All good. I'm actually in the office working on the project as we speak. It's definitely decades (if not centuries...) away from actually getting anywhere.

And I'm all for it, too. Especially as a Bay Area SoSG-er.; 8/29/2010 2:40 PM
karina said...: @Mr LASF when I tell my brothers I joined a football fantasy league for fun they won't believe it.

I'm so going to watch SportsCenter on very early Monday morning while on the treadmill; 8/29/2010 2:41 PM
MR.F said...: @MR.LASF,
Paul has no competition from me. I'm not a huge football (or fantasy football) fan, but I've been suckered into a fantasy league already with my friends so doing another league wouldn't have been a big deal. But if Paul is eager, it's all his!; 8/29/2010 2:41 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Paul's in, and the league is complete!; 8/29/2010 2:41 PM
spank said...: I wonder if I can fuck Paul's shit up more over at the league site with conflicting edits.; 8/29/2010 2:41 PM
karina said...: Mr F are you working?; 8/29/2010 2:42 PM
NicJ said...: im interested to watch baseball tonight so i can see Kruk call Manny the Hilter of baseball.; 8/29/2010 2:42 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Spanky

That's exactly what I was just thinking re conflicting edits (the Loney Fan Gambit, isn't it called)?; 8/29/2010 2:43 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Opening Week matchups are as follows:

MLASF vs. Spanky
Dusty vs. Mr C
Meaniebreanie vs. Paul
Nic vs. Jason
Prof. Dittmore vs. Karina; 8/29/2010 2:43 PM
MR.F said...: @Karina,
Yeah =(.; 8/29/2010 2:43 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I'll bet Jason makes his draft pick within about .0032 seconds each time it's his turn.; 8/29/2010 2:44 PM
spank said...: @ Dusty

It's scary that we think alike at times HaHa; 8/29/2010 2:45 PM
karina said...: am I going against the Professor? not a chance!

well, I know i'm going to have lots of fun on the draft; 8/29/2010 2:45 PM
karina said...: @Mr F don't worry, working on Sundays is part of success; 8/29/2010 2:45 PM
NicJ said...: time to study up on the draft.

Is there a limit on how many times i can draft Tebow?; 8/29/2010 2:46 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Next year I should open more spots. Maybe a 12 or 14 team league.; 8/29/2010 2:46 PM
spank said...: I got my eye on Ditty. He is a Professor.; 8/29/2010 2:47 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Heh...P. Ditty; 8/29/2010 2:48 PM
spank said...: Oh Snap! The game is still on; 8/29/2010 2:48 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Karina

You are going to take out P Ditty like a sniper on a roof.; 8/29/2010 2:48 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Great...Phiwwies are starting to heat up and they bring Doc and Lee harvey to pitch against us this week.; 8/29/2010 2:49 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: There is a five Tebow limit. You can draft Vincent Jackson as many times as you'd like though.; 8/29/2010 2:50 PM
spank said...: Hey Karina, Draft Tavaris Jackson as your quarterback; 8/29/2010 2:51 PM
Paul said...: time to catch up

@Spanky

Go Rams!

Paul said...: I am gonna have an ALL Fresno State Team!!

Go Trent Dilfer!!!!

MRLASF, 14 team leagues gets tricky. I need to look at our scoring system and bench numbers.; 8/29/2010 2:54 PM
karina said...: This Jansen kid is growing on me; 8/29/2010 2:55 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Karina and other Beatles fans:

MR.F said...: Thanks Dusty! That made my day.; 8/29/2010 2:57 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Like to send a shout out to MLASF for setting up a fantasy league and giving us another opportunity to spend time yammering about the mostly inconsequential. Conversely, Mrs Dusty is giving you a huge stinkeye.; 8/29/2010 2:58 PM
karina said...: @Paul Ella is the ONE and ONLY; 8/29/2010 3:00 PM
Paul said...: Any truth that the winner gets a dinner cooked by neeebs?; 8/29/2010 3:02 PM
Josh S. said...: So, season over again, eh?

This has been the Return of the King of Dodger seasons. It has "ended" about 37 times now.; 8/29/2010 3:02 PM
MR.F said...: I thought the winner was actually a cooked Neeebs.; 8/29/2010 3:03 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: I should organize some kind of prize for the victor. I'll figure that out later.; 8/29/2010 3:04 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Josh

It's more like GODFATHER III. They just shouldn't have made it in the first place.

@Karina

Not that we aren't going to end up going 31-0 to finish the season!; 8/29/2010 3:04 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Prize is a caja of Regional Draft.; 8/29/2010 3:05 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Funny. I haven't cried this much since I paid to see Godfather III.; 8/29/2010 3:05 PM
NicJ said...: O's sweep Angels for the second time. haha.; 8/29/2010 3:06 PM
karina said...: @Dusty Baker Regional Draft sucks.One of my parents' close friends is a hmmmm "maestro cervecero". His job was to supervise the quality of beer in the Maracaibo's Polar fabric. If he knows I recently drank Regional, poor me!; 8/29/2010 3:07 PM
NicJ said...: bases loaded, again.; 8/29/2010 3:08 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Rancho Theriendo!; 8/29/2010 3:08 PM
karina said...: @Mr LASF did you cry because Mary Corleone was killed? ;); 8/29/2010 3:08 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I, too, am a maestro cervecero.; 8/29/2010 3:08 PM
NicJ said...: how long have you been holding onto that one, DB?; 8/29/2010 3:08 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Huh. It's now a save situation.; 8/29/2010 3:09 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @NicJ

O's swept the Angels on the SEASON, no?; 8/29/2010 3:09 PM
NicJ said...: they may have, let me check.; 8/29/2010 3:10 PM
Paul said...: Oh shit they are still playing?!

Don't blame Kemp!! Haters!; 8/29/2010 3:10 PM
MR.F said...: The Dodgers tease to the end.; 8/29/2010 3:10 PM
MR.F said...: The Dodgers tease to the end.; 8/29/2010 3:10 PM
karina said...: We have a game now, ladies and gents; 8/29/2010 3:10 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Ethier just look PUTRID!; 8/29/2010 3:10 PM
Kyle Baker said...: ^looks; 8/29/2010 3:11 PM
NicJ said...: well i'll be, they did sweep the season series.; 8/29/2010 3:11 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: If we could come from behind, that would be a kick to Colorado's groin.; 8/29/2010 3:12 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Sons have pretty much been gone all weekend. Can't believe they left us all alone in the house.; 8/29/2010 3:12 PM
NicJ said...: i no like andre.; 8/29/2010 3:12 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Delino has been intermittent lately, and Sax has been working on the P&A.; 8/29/2010 3:13 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: STOOPID ANDRE; 8/29/2010 3:13 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I would suggest Ethier sit for a bit, but I know KempKershaw would jump in and tell me what an idiot I am, so I won't say anything.; 8/29/2010 3:13 PM
karina said...: King James, remember you're the KING of the road; 8/29/2010 3:14 PM
Nostradamus said...: Ooh, not such a good outing for the Old Roughrider.

Kinds glad I missed the worst.; 8/29/2010 3:15 PM
Paul said...: If Kemp hits a homerun all is forgiven. Well not really. Unless he hits it really faaaar!; 8/29/2010 3:16 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I'll bet Sons of Dante Bichette are getting nervous now.; 8/29/2010 3:17 PM
NicJ said...: now would be a great time for one of those unexpected loney grand slams.; 8/29/2010 3:17 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Loney is the go-ahead run.; 8/29/2010 3:17 PM
Kyle Baker said...: How many Rancho Ardiendos have we had today? Third, no?; 8/29/2010 3:18 PM

Kyle Baker said...: I need some soothing wisdom from Fred's Brim about right now.; 8/29/2010 3:21 PM
NicJ said...: FREE JAMES LONEY!!!!

(of his roster spot); 8/29/2010 3:21 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Nic

Seattle already has a king, though. Will it be War of the Roses between Loney and Felix?; 8/29/2010 3:22 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: When did John Ireland get bumped up to #3 on the CBS/KCAL depth chart?; 8/29/2010 3:23 PM
spank said...: Octavio Blowstel!; 8/29/2010 3:24 PM
NicJ said...: Eh, whatever. Loney isnt exactly a King anyways.

Unless its the King of Mediocrity.; 8/29/2010 3:24 PM
NicJ said...: Dbacks take the lead.; 8/29/2010 3:24 PM
spank said...: Loney will hit 25 homers in Kansas City next year.; 8/29/2010 3:25 PM
NicJ said...: jints threatening though.; 8/29/2010 3:26 PM
NicJ said...: NVM, jints retake the lead.; 8/29/2010 3:26 PM
karina said...: James Loney is a King.Period.; 8/29/2010 3:26 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Loney is the king.

karina said...: I'm not listening to you @Mr LASF @NicJ @Mr F; 8/29/2010 3:32 PM
NicJ said...: suicide bridge? you're such a hipster, DB.; 8/29/2010 3:32 PM
spank said...: Look who's coming up again for the thosandth time; 8/29/2010 3:33 PM
NicJ said...: To be honest i really like loney. He just isnt producing anywhere near what he should be. Now with the ownership/farm system issue im sure we are stuck with him for a while.; 8/29/2010 3:34 PM
spank said...: BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!; 8/29/2010 3:34 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Relax, Karina. Loney's not going anywhere. Frank's too cheap to spring for a decent pitcher, let alone position player.; 8/29/2010 3:34 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Hey look, it's Huston "I'm too cool for the O before the U" Street.; 8/29/2010 3:37 PM
NicJ said...: this has been set up to where the phillies can end our season once again.; 8/29/2010 3:37 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I think the Pirates ended our season on Opening Day.; 8/29/2010 3:38 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Wait, I'm kidding, we're going to win the World Series!

Sorry, Karina, I forgot.; 8/29/2010 3:38 PM
NicJ said...: damn that garret jones; 8/29/2010 3:38 PM
MR.F said...: I actually didn't mean anything bad towards James Loney and just wanted an excuse to post a link to a cool song.

But I do think our season is pretty much over. I am just hoping for little victories from here until the end.; 8/29/2010 3:39 PM
NicJ said...: all i have left to look forward to is maybe playing a spoiler for the giants.; 8/29/2010 3:40 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Game. Series. Season.; 8/29/2010 3:40 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I have resigned myself to a less than successful season. I just want not to be embarrassed (e.g., play a game like we did today).; 8/29/2010 3:41 PM
Dave said...: "A frustrated and angry Dodger ballclub?" Maybe they could alleviate some of that by learning to play baseball.; 8/29/2010 3:41 PM
NicJ said...: at least it was a long game. Shorter wait for TEBOW TIME.

(i hate him); 8/29/2010 3:41 PM
spank said...: That was a shame; 8/29/2010 3:41 PM
karina said...: I still believe, no matter what; 8/29/2010 3:41 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: I for one welcome our new NL Wild Card overlords.; 8/29/2010 3:42 PM
Nostradamus said...: Ah, well.

The thing to remember in the end, Dodgers, is that you did a half-assed job. That's what really counts.; 8/29/2010 3:43 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: @Mr C - That truly is the American way.; 8/29/2010 3:45 PM
spank said...: That really is pretty much my season because I really,really,really hate most of the playoff contenders and will root for all of them to go down in a plane crash.

I may sound extreme but that's how I roll.; 8/29/2010 3:46 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I just need to listen to Sublime really loudly.; 8/29/2010 3:47 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Just a little more than an hour until we get to see how NBC half-assed the Emmys.; 8/29/2010 3:47 PM
MR.F said...: We are all Kings of Carrot Flowers.; 8/29/2010 3:48 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @MLASF

You can get hammered and yell at the TV during the red carpet pre-ceremony bit.; 8/29/2010 3:48 PM
