NicJ said...: pitch better big Z!!! just walked the bases loaded.; 8/09/2010 7:52 PM
Steve Sax said...: DeWitt Kd in the first to end the Cubs' rally at two runs; 8/09/2010 7:53 PM
Steve Sax said...: Z Ks Torres to escape the bases-loaded jam

2-0 CHC through two, both pitchers at around 36-38 pitches; 8/09/2010 7:55 PM
NicJ said...: people using the word warsh is one of my biggest pet peeves for some strange reason. When i was a lad in kindergarten my teacher used to say it and it would piss me off then too.

I also hate when people pronounce the word crayon as "crown"; 8/09/2010 7:57 PM
NicJ said...: BTW, that wasnt directed at you josh i just went into a blind rage when i saw it typed out.; 8/09/2010 7:58 PM
MR.F said...: What is a warsh?; 8/09/2010 8:01 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: @Mr F - When you get free seats for a crappy team.; 8/09/2010 8:02 PM
NicJ said...: IBB to get to dewitt.

TEACH THEM A LESSON!

NicJ said...: big Z issues his 5 walk in 2.1 IP.; 8/09/2010 8:08 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: We were fools to expect Big Z to show any level of control.; 8/09/2010 8:09 PM
MR.F said...: MRLASF: I think I understand.; 8/09/2010 8:09 PM

NicJ said...: HE'S A MONSTER!!!!; 8/09/2010 8:11 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: When will the old racist woman choke on his thumb?; 8/09/2010 8:13 PM
Paul said...: Giants have "Dunk a Dodger" at their tailgate. Pssshhh

Go Cubs goooo go cubs goooo hey Chicago whadddya say the Cubs are gonna win today.

God I hate that song but I hate the Giant more.; 8/09/2010 8:16 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Sounds like the collective surly factor is 5+ tonight. Must be frustration with the day's puzzle, lack of Dodgers game, and use of a hick way to say "wash."

I like it in here!; 8/09/2010 8:16 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Nic

That's in my top 10 of pet peeves, but it's 54 times worse if "warsh" is part of the word "warshington." Some people say it this way because they're ignorant hicks, and others say it to be purposefully derogatory toward the Washington political establishment.

Often the two types of people are one in the same.; 8/09/2010 8:18 PM
Paul said...: I watched my first ever episode of It is always sunny in Philly.

I didn't know Eithier was in that show.; 8/09/2010 8:19 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Speaking of pet peeves:

HATE IT when sock dicksmack at work sends me an email, and then 30 seconds later walks into my office and asks me if I got their email.

This doesn't happen much any more though since I killed a staffer and put his head on a pike outside my office with a sign to remind people why he died.; 8/09/2010 8:20 PM

NicJ said...: no whammies, no whammies, no whammies.; 8/09/2010 8:24 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Big Z out of the jam.; 8/09/2010 8:24 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: SADISON; 8/09/2010 8:25 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Are we allowed to use the phrase "douchehole" in this space?; 8/09/2010 8:25 PM
Josh S. said...: The PCS in general this season has my surly factor at 5. They're not bad puzzles, they're just frustrating as hell for me for whatever reason.

Yay VORP! That's where I'm a Viking!; 8/09/2010 8:26 PM
MR.F said...: My general surliness has contributed to my PCS ambivalence of late. That and Axelle Red-themed puzzles kicking my ass earlier this season. I am so easily discouraged right now.; 8/09/2010 8:29 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Hooray for only one of four Xaviers who have ever played in the bigs!; 8/09/2010 8:30 PM

Lighting speed.; 8/09/2010 8:53 PM
Paul said...: Z pinch hitting for himself.; 8/09/2010 8:55 PM
Kyle Baker said...: 3-2 Cubs!; 8/09/2010 8:58 PM
Paul said...: DeWitt scores!! Giants suck!; 8/09/2010 8:58 PM
NicJ said...: cubs take the lead again!!; 8/09/2010 8:58 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I'm not very confident in this Cubs pen.; 8/09/2010 9:07 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Bad News Bears 3
Hated Ones 3; 8/09/2010 9:12 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I'd like to quote myself at 9:07 PM when I presciently said, "I'm not very confident in this Cubs pen."; 8/09/2010 9:13 PM
Paul said...: If I am destined to get pissed off watching crappy middle relief this year.; 8/09/2010 9:19 PM
Paul said...: Bill Walton and the Dead in the seats.; 8/09/2010 9:22 PM
Steve Sax said...: 3-3 game in the seventh; 8/09/2010 9:25 PM
Paul said...: Nice play Joyce!!; 8/09/2010 9:30 PM
Nostradamus said...: Holy balls, there's a whole other thread in here!; 8/09/2010 9:38 PM
Paul said...: Lead off walk. Cubs in trouble. Pray for double play.; 8/09/2010 9:42 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I listened to the pre-game on the way home, and they carried the national anthem played by some of the former Grateful Dead band members. One of the only times I've ever been moved during this song.

RIP Jerry! *pours some out*; 8/09/2010 9:42 PM
rbnlaw said...: ^Watsamattau.

My typo has upped the surly factor to 3. I didn't even attempt the puzzle.; 8/09/2010 9:45 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Wattsamattawitu; 8/09/2010 9:48 PM
Steve Sax said...: cubs are desperately trying to throw this game away

two on, one out, in a tie game in the bottom of the eighth; 8/09/2010 9:50 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Cubs in a jam but 2 outs now w 2 on.; 8/09/2010 9:51 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Out of the jam.; 8/09/2010 9:51 PM
Steve Sax said...: @Mr C 9:38p: Is this what you were referring to at SoSG Fest, when you mentioned the quick proliferation of posts and the Scooby Doo reference?; 8/09/2010 9:51 PM
Steve Sax said...: Strike out Torres
Fly out Renteria

Cubs live for another inning! 3-3 going to the ninth!; 8/09/2010 9:52 PM
Paul said...: The Giants are playing a team without their big hitter again.

Douche bag warning! Wilson up.; 8/09/2010 9:54 PM
Kyle Baker said...: ^That jam will be called Drums>Space>Scarlet Begonias in honour of the Dead tonight.; 8/09/2010 9:54 PM
Kyle Baker said...: @Saxy

That was me actually. (And Nic's original Scooby Doo simile); 8/09/2010 9:56 PM
Paul said...: Posey called for interference. Ha ha.; 8/09/2010 9:58 PM

one out for Chicago; 8/09/2010 9:59 PM
Steve Sax said...: @Dusty, my bad. Sorry there!

I gotta find that scooby doo day again, that was good times. Today, I spent all my blog-related time managing the PCS puzzle...; 8/09/2010 10:00 PM
Kyle Baker said...: That day was hilarious...there were 4 or so relevant posts, and the same 5 or 6 people just went from one post to the other and back to another.; 8/09/2010 10:02 PM
Paul said...: Cubs can't score. I don't feel good about this.; 8/09/2010 10:04 PM
Steve Sax said...: two-out double from Burrell in the ninth; Giants poised to win it; 8/09/2010 10:10 PM
Steve Sax said...: Aaron Rowand pops out to Fonte?NOT to end the inning

To extras in SF!; 8/09/2010 10:10 PM
Wesley Vento said...: this is a big inning for HLACK's fantasy squad. Come on Byrd & Soriano!!!; 8/09/2010 10:13 PM
Nostradamus said...: @Dusty/Sax

More that I just didn't realize that there was a robust scoreboard watchIng thread after completing the PCS; 8/09/2010 10:15 PM
Kyle Baker said...: You were in a post-PCS haze, Mr C. Put on some Allman Bros and cool down.; 8/09/2010 10:16 PM
Wesley Vento said...: I'll take a 2 run bomb from Alfonso right now; 8/09/2010 10:18 PM
Steve Sax said...: I may have made this PCS a bit too hard. I'm double-thinking everything here.; 8/09/2010 10:18 PM
Steve Sax said...: one out for the cubs, man on first, top of the tenth; 8/09/2010 10:19 PM

Steve Sax said...: well, koyie couldn't get it done. 3-3 going to the bottom of the 10th.

sigh.; 8/09/2010 10:28 PM
Steve Sax said...: @DB: it's easy to think of that phrase when one walks around all day with a big-ass watch strapped to a chain necklace; 8/09/2010 10:29 PM
Steve Sax said...: this is going to be won on a SF solo HR, I know it; 8/09/2010 10:30 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I was trying to preserve your cover, Sax/Flavor.; 8/09/2010 10:36 PM
Paul said...: Colvin. Hit one out please.; 8/09/2010 10:40 PM
Kyle Baker said...: We go to the bottom 11th.; 8/09/2010 10:46 PM
Steve Sax said...: the longer this game goes, the tastier that frog avatar looks; 8/09/2010 10:48 PM
Kyle Baker said...: # 2 pounds frog legs
# 2 tablespoons olive oil

Kyle Baker said...: Bases loaded, no outs for Jints. Pat the Shat up to bat.; 8/09/2010 10:52 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Son of a bitch. Why did Cubs choose tonight to try out some child as a relief pitcher in late innings?; 8/09/2010 10:54 PM
Steve Sax said...: well, marcos mateo, your two straight leadoff singles just cost your team the game in the 11th. nice work, dude.

I never trust guys with two or more first names.; 8/09/2010 10:55 PM
Steve Sax said...: And I really don't trust Philip Michael Thomas.; 8/09/2010 10:55 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Jan Michael Vincent: a-hole; 8/09/2010 10:57 PM
Steve Sax said...: whoomp, there it is. Sac fly wins it for the giants.

Giants are now 1.5 GB in the NL West, and lead the NL WC by one full game over Philly and St Louis.; 8/09/2010 10:57 PM
Steve Sax said...: @DB 10:52p: Dammit, the shallot! I always forget the shallot.

DAMMIT; 8/09/2010 10:58 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Stupid Cubs. This is why they haven't won anything in 102 years.; 8/09/2010 11:01 PM
Kyle Baker said...: I'm up to 5 on the surly scale due to missing a Flavor Flav paraphrase opportunity, Jints losing, and fact that I didn't have time to properly address the puzzle today.; 8/09/2010 11:01 PM
rbnlaw said...: Remember the Home Improvement kids?

Zachary Ty Bryan?

Scumbag.; 8/09/2010 11:03 PM
Josh S. said...: Hmmm...staring at the MLB.tv screen, I notice that when the A's are at Seattle, their logos essentially make "AsS."

That's all I've got.; 8/09/2010 11:03 PM
Kyle Baker said...: That's not nothin', Josh.; 8/09/2010 11:04 PM
Kyle Baker said...: Dusty out. Going to hit the sack and let some old Dead songs take me to sleepy land. RIP Jerry!
