Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: So is Maine the head, or is it the hand as its name suggests it should be?; 9/10/2010 8:24 PM
Josh S. said...: Mmmmm...Yogurtland.; 9/10/2010 8:27 PM
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.; 9/10/2010 8:27 PM

karina said...: All of you, but Betsy, Meanie, Karen, Erin and I, of course.; 9/10/2010 8:32 PM
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"; 9/10/2010 8:33 PM

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!; 9/10/2010 8:37 PM

GOD DAMN DOTEL SUCKS. He should retire right now, on the spot.; 9/10/2010 8:45 PM
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?

Kyle Baker said...: But....Dotel is coming back in. That's bad.; 9/10/2010 8:55 PM
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.; 9/10/2010 8:56 PM

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.

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."; 9/10/2010 9:02 PM
Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Oh that's Germany. Only Germans can have such complete and utter disregard for the power of hot sauce.; 9/10/2010 9:03 PM

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.

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.

Sorry Spanky, but my curiosity got the best of me.; 9/10/2010 9:15 PM
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.; 9/10/2010 9:16 PM

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."; 9/10/2010 9:20 PM

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.; 9/10/2010 9:36 PM
Paul said...: Mr. C gets the call and brings some
compenhagen and coors light!; 9/10/2010 9:39 PM
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.; 9/10/2010 9:40 PM
NicJ said...: this 9/11 footage is depressing the shit out of me.

weird, weird stuff.; 9/10/2010 9:42 PM
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.; 9/10/2010 9:45 PM
spank said...: @ NicJ

Thanks for reminding me not to watch the telly tomorrow.; 9/10/2010 9:48 PM
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*; 9/10/2010 9:51 PM
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.

Mr. LA Sports Czar said...: Padres lose. Stoopid Padres.; 9/10/2010 10:15 PM
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.; 9/10/2010 10:16 PM
