"I don't even have an iPhone but I've played a lot with it."

That's what Mr. C said.

Nostradamus said...

@MLASF

Coccyx, maybe

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Shouldn't Chris Johnson be with Tennessee right now?

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

So is Maine the head, or is it the hand as its name suggests it should be?

Josh S. said...

Mmmmm...Yogurtland.

Nostradamus said...

Could actually work nicely as a hand, with Cape Cod and Nova Scotia as the thumb and fingers, but were playing pretty fast and loose with the metaphor.

Nostradamus said...

If Maine were the head, America would be packing some significant Junk in our collective trunk. This would not be entirely inaccurate.

Nostradamus said...

GEOGRAPHY WHORES, ALL OF YOU

karina said...

HCK made his part, now it's time to win this game!

Kyle Baker said...

So is Oregon the taint?

karina said...

how about geek w*&^%s?

karina said...

All of you, but Betsy, Meanie, Karen, Erin and I, of course.

Nostradamus said...

@karina

In the spirit of your grammar request, one should say "Kuo did his part" or "Kuo played his part" instead of "made"

karina said...

thanks, Mr C :)

spank said...

See what you guys are doing to Karina? She's a potty mouth.

I thought Oregon was the butt?

Nostradamus said...

@dusty

Tallahassee's got to be the taint.

karina said...

@Mr C what did Florida do to you? :(

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I before e, except after c, or when sounding like "ay," such as neighbor and weigh.

Unless the sentence is "Jim Nabors is way cool."

Kyle Baker said...

Lyons has gone into the "Casey Blake isn't the best athlete in his family" but one...no, 54 too many times this season. Let it fuckin go, man. We got it. They have to figure that most people who watch Dodger broadcasts are hardcore fans so they don't need an entire background on each Dodger every night. I know it's hard to come up with material, but you know what that leaves one? Calling the friggin' game!

Nostradamus said...

@karina

All things receive are allowed tacit "geek" label when they pass the threshold at SoSG.

karina said...

I treasure Mr LASF's grammar lessons.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Only use whom when it is the object, and who when it is the subject.

Kyle Baker said...

Taiwan will touch your pre-schooler inappropriately!

Kyle Baker said...

^Sorry for that. Surly +6 becvause I need to pack but don't want to leave the game. Plus Dotel is coming in.

karina said...

He can't blow all his chances. He'll be good tonight.

karina said...

awwwwww thank you very much, Mr LASF

Kyle Baker said...

He can blow alright.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I'm running out of grammar cards in my rolodex. Would you mind advice on the Grammys?

NicJ said...

Oregon is California's hat.

Probably like a Ushanka with the flaps up.

Josh S. said...

Watching The Men Who Stare at Goats instead of the game. Far fewer first pitch groundouts.

spank said...

Don't get all mad and start spilling wine,Dusty.

Kyle Baker said...

I can just start outing more Hollywood stars along with your Grammy analysis, MLASF.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Oregon is a cesspool of drug addicts and losers, making the state fit only to be a jock strap to California.

spank said...

The Bourn Asshole

NicJ said...

just let him score.

Id rather watch the high school football game they are preempting.

Paul said...

I just realized ibwas posting in a old game thread.

Nice catch Jay!!!

Tough play on the second one. Shit.

Kyle Baker said...

I will not spill wine tonight. I don't have any open.

GOD DAMN DOTEL SUCKS. He should retire right now, on the spot.

Nostradamus said...

"what did Florida do to you?"

That's actually a good question. I should like FL. Good weather (mostly), decent people, nice beaches. Yet I hold a persistent and unambiguous dislike for the place. Where have I gone wrong?

*ponders place in universe*

karina said...

They haven't lost the game, according to my Gameday...just a triple with one out.

Paul said...

Beer status: Viognier. Le great.

But not that sissy French stuff central Cali Arroyo Grande Viognier!

Wish I had their 100point 2005 syrah but this good.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Florida's nice. I like Jacksonville. Very pretty and underrated.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Wait, who's playing in the high school game?

NicJ said...

crenshaw vs. norco.

Jimbo said...

Bourn should attempt to steal home. Just end this thing already.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

That should be a good game.

LOSE, DODGERS, LOSE.

Kyle Baker said...

Fuck, I could be watching Crenshaw play? Now I'm even surlier.

NicJ said...

alright everybody. lets play "GERMANY OR FLORIDA"!!!

Paul said...

I wanna go to Cal Colorado tomorrow.

karina said...

@Mr C you should analyze that dislike.

I love Florida, I've been very happy there.

Jimbo said...

Germany. I know what type of films came from their studios in the 70s.

Paul said...

Go Jay!!!

Kyle Baker said...

Gibby at the bat!!!!

Nostradamus said...

Gotta say Germany, but that is not unexpected.

Paul said...

Jay fucking Gibbons!!!!

Shit spilled some wine.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Germany. More Hasselhoff albums.

spank said...

GIBBONS IS WAXING!

GIBBONS IS WAXING!

Nostradamus said...

Oh hells yes.

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

We just make fun of all states and places like we make fun of everything else. It's not for real.*

*Except for Beaumont, Texas.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Hey, that Gibbons is pretty good.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I genuinely loathe the state of Oregon.

Kyle Baker said...

Wax dat booty, Jay!

Kyle Baker said...

But....Dotel is coming back in. That's bad.

NicJ said...

no, germany or florida was a game started by adam carolla back when he was still on Loveline. He would always say that all the horrible stories either came out of germany or florida.

So he would read a news article and not give the location of where the article came from and the guests would have to guess.

does anyone really want to play. i can find some articles.

Kyle Baker said...

Per Jon Weisman:

"Jay Gibbons ties Rod Barajas for fourth place on 2010 Dodgers in homers."

Paul said...

Texting texting texting.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I still stand by my comments regarding Hasselhoff.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The one time Dotel gets a K, and it's for himself.

NicJ said...

A woman who claimed she was disfigured during a Brazilian bikini wax has been awarded $15,000.

She said the process ripped her labia, forcing her to get stitches and weakening her sexual desire.

A jury of four women and two men decided to award her 15k.

The woman and her husband were seeking nearly $500,000 in the suit. Her husband was not awarded any money.

get your guesses in folks!!

Nostradamus said...

@karina, db

Indeed. I didn't intend it to seem mean-spirited and it's certainly not intended as a slight to Floridans, many of whom I quite like.

spank said...

The Hoff is bigger than Hitler in Germany.

Nostradamus said...

@nic

Totally Florida.

Paul said...

Rbn was the Attorney?

spank said...

Germany Nic

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Florida








is the name of the mother on Good Times.

Nostradamus said...

If it that were an actual service that you could pay to have performed, then it would be Germany.

karina said...

Who's your Gibbon?

NicJ said...

alright the answer is....


FLORIDA

Paul said...

Neeebs defense counsel?

NicJ said...

round two.

"Officials say eight teenagers were hospitalized after a test of courage in which they drank chili sauce more than 200 times hotter than normal.

The Red Cross says that 10 boys, aged 13 and 14, year drank the sauce Wednesday morning, apparently in school.

The Red Cross said that on the Scoville scale, which measures the hotness of sauce, the sauce measured 535,000 -- compared to 2,500 for normal Tabasco sauce."

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Oh that's Germany. Only Germans can have such complete and utter disregard for the power of hot sauce.

karina said...

Why do I feel there's more in this Germany-Florida insta poll?

spank said...

Damn Dude I'm trying to watch the game.



Germany

Nostradamus said...

@db

Yeah, that guy can bite my shiny metal ass.

Just wantes to do the same, as I don't often realize if i had crossed the line until I'm 20 miles on the other side of it.

Kyle Baker said...

I could eat 50 eggs.

Jimbo said...

Germany

Nostradamus said...

Florida again.

Nostradamus said...

@db

What we have here is a failure to communicate.

spank said...

Don't play Karina.

It will make your I.Q sink like GAARP's average did.

NicJ said...

the answer is....

GERMANY

Jimbo said...

Ze zany Germans!

spank said...

I saw that one on the news or Jackass

NicJ said...

Thieves stole a circus van - without realizing there was a lion asleep in the back.

They abandoned the vehicle after crashing into a road sign.

Police later had the van towed away to a depot - unaware that the five-year-old lion called Caesar was inside.

get your answers in folks.

Kyle Baker said...

That brushback got him the next strike.

spank said...

F L O R I D A ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Jimbo said...

Florida. I bet Juggalos were responsible, too.

karina said...

@Spanky I won't play because I have no idea what you're talking about, like fantasy football.

The difference is I know where to start with fantasy football...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Deutschland

spank said...

Orale Gibbo

Nostradamus said...

Erm, Citrus truck would seem to say FL.

Paul said...

Yes we make party!!!!!

spank said...

GUESS WHAT?

DODGERS WIN!!!!!!

Nostradamus said...

WIN

Jimbo said...

Dodgers win and I am still hungry.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I don't really care anymore.

NicJ said...

we won?

annnnndddd

GERMANY

MLASF is very good at this game.

Nostradamus said...

This GT has made my brain all itchy.

Paul said...

Okay Gibbons make party.

We win!!!!! For once.

Jimbo said...

I was unaware of Juggalos in Germany.

karina said...

But not tonight- Depeche Mode

NicJ said...

Talk about taking the show on the road.

The "Stripper Mobile" is a large truck with Plexiglas sides featuring a stripper pole and dancers inside, sort of like a peep show on wheels.

"Everybody's taking pictures and running up and screaming and trying to get on the bus and throwing money outside. It's actually very exciting," a dancer said.

get your answers in folks...

karina said...

Is it safe if I google this Germany-Florida game?

Sorry Spanky, but my curiosity got the best of me.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

This is a tough one. While on the one hand those Germans love nekkid* chicks, the Floridans do too.

I will say Germany, because I don't believe anyone could get away with such a thing in the land of Tebow.

NicJ said...

yeah, thats where i am pulling up all of these stories.

No cheating people!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

*nekkid is not a word

spank said...

Just guess . Florida or Germany

spank said...

FLO

karina said...

Florida?

NicJ said...

drumroll.......




FLORIDA!!!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Dammit.

spank said...

Lucky-311

NicJ said...

alright, one more.

"Police officer arrested for allegedly squeezing breast milk from a drunk woman. Officer says he was trying to sober her up."


Get those answers in folks...

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

A bad-tempered pensioner could be charged with wasting police time after complaining about loud music - from her own radio.

[name redacted], 71, called police late at night to complain she couldn't sleep because of the noise.

But police who turned up to investigate found the music was coming from the pensioner's own radio that she had left on full volume in the back garden earlier in the day.

A police spokesman said they were considering sending her a bill for the time spent on the call and said:

"She had taken the radio outside and left it switched on full volume when she went inside," said a police spokesperson.

A neighbor said: "She always plays her music really loud - for once she gave herself a taste of her own medicine."

Jimbo said...

Definitely Germany.

Jimbo said...

@ Mr.

FLorida

spank said...

G E R M A N Y

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

I say Florida for Nic's.

karina said...

Got it, @NicJ posts a strange story and we have to guess where it's from, Germany or Florida.

karina said...

^it is

Germany

spank said...

@ MLASF

East L.A.

spank said...

Germ #2 also

NicJ said...

and the final answer is....

FLORIDA!!

Thanks for playing and we will see you all next time on

Audience: GERMANY OR FLORIDA

(Blows kiss)

Kyle Baker said...

East LA....hah!

Paul said...

You never even callled me by my name-David Allen Coe

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

The answer for mine was Germany.

spank said...

Who was that? Monte Hall

Kyle Baker said...

Moving to Florida - Butthole Surfers

Kyle Baker said...

You never even called me by my name, Paul!

spank said...

I will call you Betty

Betty when you call me

You can call me Al

Call me Al (Flute Solo)

MR.F said...

Come on Padres...

Paul said...

@Dusty

trying to send Mr. C the call of the Okie.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

You can call me Ray, or you can call me Jay.
Just don't call me washed up; I do three shows a day.

Nostradamus said...

Someone called for an Okie?

Steve Sax said...

We won!

Go Padres!!!

karina said...

I'm broken-hearted: I'd rather like the Rockies to win the division, but if they do, it means less playing time for CarGo here, if the team allows him.

If CarGo doesn't play, I'm worried Aguilas have more than usual disappointing season.

Paul said...

Mr. C gets the call and brings some
compenhagen and coors light!

NicJ said...

i doubt the rockies let him play winterball either way karina.

CarGo is a legit super star. Combine the fact that he has a history of being injury prone and the field conditions you spoke of over there i would say him playing is unlikely.

NicJ said...

this 9/11 footage is depressing the shit out of me.

weird, weird stuff.

NicJ said...

@Karina, but for the sake of your Aguilas i hope he gets to go over there and play. Hell, i hope he doesnt come back too. haha.

spank said...

@ NicJ

Thanks for reminding me not to watch the telly tomorrow.

karina said...

@NicJ it seems they are working very hard to get the stadium back to normal just in time for the season.

CarGo is not on the list of MLB and MiLB players that can't play in the winter leagues. Most of the legit super stars normally play on December, depending how far their teams go. To give recent examples: Bob Abreu played in his best MLB years and Francisco Rodriguez always pitches, even when he just was in the WS.

CarGo declared to a local newspaper that he wants to play here *crosses fingers*

karina said...

@NicJ same here...that day we were on the road, listened to the news all the day on the radio, finally watched those scary images when we went out to get a hamburguer.

No one ate :(

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

Padres lose. Stoopid Padres.

Kyle Baker said...

@Karina

Brother Nic is speaking the truth. I doubt that CarGo will be given much of a long leash in the off-season. Dude is a legit superstar, so the "owner" team will not want to risk him. They would be crazy to do so; downright irresponsible. If he does, I'd be surprised. It's not as much about whether he wants to but what the team who holds his contract thinks he should do. If he were to, say, win NL Rookie of the Year or even Triple Crown, no WAY would they let him.

I hope that all your Winter League boys play for your team, but would bet against this one.

Kyle Baker said...

I get to access air travel on 9/11 - woo hoo!

#BloodyMarysAtAirportBar

NicJ said...

alright im out ladies and gents.


safe travels, DB.

Kyle Baker said...

Cheers, Nic.

spank said...

@ Dusty

Hide that box cutter real good

I'll keep this bish outta line 4 ya till you return

Paul said...

Fuck you San Diego.

Jason said...

@Dusty at 6-ish - I'm not jaded, I'm spoiled.

I am stocking up for the SoSG road trip to the Pacific Northwest. I promise lots of Redhook and Rogue beer plus several super-micro brews. And I've got seats reserved at a pub which prides itself on airing the beautiful game (for those that care).

Also, rob knofings for everyone!

Kyle Baker said...

@Jason

*hurriedly changes travel plans*

karina said...

@Dusty Baker I have a little bubble of hope there and I'm trying to keep it.

Buen Viaje!

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...

NOW I dislike Florida.

spank said...

Looks like the Bunny Ranch is closed today.

WHORES WHORES WHORES
