COMMENTS: Dear Rays & Twins,
Can you please make this a series? The Rangers may be a feel-good story, but nobody wants to see the Yankees sweep their way into the ALCS. Twins, you have a rabid fan base and a brand-new stadium to play for; Rays, you have...um...well, Joe Maddon seems like a really cool guy.
But really, if Atlanta can rally from a 4-0 deficit to tie their series against the Giants, then you guys can make it interesting against the Rangers and Yanks. Those of us without a horse in the race demand it!

Mega thread! Cool!
No Scooby-Dooing for us this fine Saturday.
I'm still abuzz from Ankiel's HR. Taking pleasure in another team's loss shouldn't be this fun. But it is!
Feel the hate Hate HATE, Orel!
By the way, I am officially up in dis bish.
I can't remember the last time I've been this sober on a Saturday mid-morning.
But it ain't going to last. Be ready.
FEEL THE WRATH!!!!!
Feel the booze, Spank. booze Booze BOOZE!!!
@DB "By the way, I am officially up in dis bish."
IT'S ON!
The stove is ON!!!
I should turn it off.
MegaThread vs. DinoTweet!
Starring Deborah Gibson!
yech - I am tired of Alabama.
I wouldn't mind so much if Nick Saban wasn't their coach, and at least it's not Florida, but still, yech.
now I want Chick-fil-a
Hawgs already on the board. Ryan Mallett up in dis beeeyatch!
Will there be a thread for the Kings opener?
Mega-Thread is designed to meet all your Game Thread needs.
So really an Omni Thread.
The mega-thread is unstoppable!
Drunk Mans Omni-Mega Super MOFO Game Thread
Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Thread.
Mega-Thread is the Wal-Mart of Game Threads
I really liked what I saw from the mens USA-Canada olympic hockey and I thought I might introduce myself to the sport, however football has my head spinning.
Epale everyone!
This enormous thread will devour us all!!!
Epale, Karina! Welcome to Mega-Thread!
mega-thread touched me in my bathing suit area...and i liked it.
Hey Spanky, I spent an hour trying to make my team better!
Thanks Orel!
Does anyone will predict how many comments we'll reach on this thread?
so much for ucla's winning streak.
@Karina
So how do the Dodgers look now that you spent an hour making them better?
What's te UCLA situation? Can't flip Tv channel over since I'm streaming Hogs from my computer to the telly.
@dusty: 28-0 Cal at the half. it got ugly fast.
Thx, EM. That is ugly. UCLA bi-polar.
@Dusty Baker The Dodgers and I will have some time off, let's say 'till the World Series ends.
I was talking about the Charlie Brown Peanuts ;)
Karina's getting into hockey!
off to a wedding, gonna try and get others as drunk as I will get.
Go RangerTwins!
That's a good plan FB. Instead of trying to bend to society's sobriety rules, Bruno everyone else to your level of intoxication.
Hello everyone!! Isn't there something about a devastating gnat loss that makes the day seem all shiny and bright??
For some reason my system only seldomly shows me the avatars and I just saw Coper's picture and EM's puppy. They are very cute! :)
The season's over and Dylan Hernandez is still taking shots at Hank Schulman.
@karen
the sun does seem to be shining brighter today doesn't it? birds are singing. the world just seems like a much better place when the giants lose.
for the record, my dog's actually 5 years old. he just has stubby legs :) your pup is beautiful. love the hypnotic blue eyes.
i didn't know frank zappa was the rangers' pitching coach.
HATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATEHATE
More Later
TEX 1, TB 0, top 6
Please, Rays, don't get swept!
Sometimes I think if Dylan had run his mouth a little less about Hank, the Giants wouldn't have made the playoffs.
Matt Joyce rounds second, puts on the brakes late, gets tagged out a second. That was Dodgerworthy.
Molly Knight is freaking me out right now.
I keep wanting M Knight to be cuter than she is. She should be.
No, Mr LASF, this is really scary:
"I wish the Dodgers would trade Loney for pitching and make a run at Dunn. Also: is there a way to overpay in prospects for Rasmus?"
She must be a great girl but this earned her an unfollow
AT LAST. Upton RBI ties it up!
I honestly wouldn't mind trading Loney for the right deal.
The right deal being anything.
Damn, Alabama lost to SCAR.
SCAR looks good this year. Definitely could make serious run at SEC Championship. Alabama's shaky play has not given me much confidence in them.
Them and the Razorbacks of course.
Do you want to overpay prospects for Rasmus?, Mr LASF
I would trade Lee, Withrow, and Sands for Rasmus.
@Dusty Baker: "I keep wanting M Knight to be cuter than she is. She should be."
Not that you're exigent with looks, if that girl were cuter, she wouldn't be writing for the Dodgers, she would be an actress or a model. Besides her looks don't make her a better or worse reporter.
Why the M. Knight Slamathon?
Yay, another blown call!
(looking up "exigent")
Thank goodness there's no replay. Imagine waiting five minutes to determine that Andrus was actually out. THE HORROR!
do you feel lonely in the GT, Orel?
Not as long as you and Coper are here.
@Karina
I didn't say anything at all about her reporting ability, or any linkage of said ability to her looks.
Brutal strike three call for Crawford there.
Go Hogs! I'll take it.
Now I have my computer back so can get back to posting masterful insight in this space.
Remember when the Rays had so much muscle in their lineup? What happened?
Masterful insight and snark?
I want the Rays & Twins to win if only to give us four games tomorrow.
Technically, it's masterful snark and mostly useless insight.
Although the snark is often useless as well.
I recommend your snark.
Snark plug!
Umps taking a beating on Twitter. Boy are they going to be red-faced!
Kinsler HR. Rangers up 2-1.
Dammit, Kinsler HR makes it 2-1 Rangers.
Almost forgot a Beatles pun: She's Leaving the Yard
@Dusty Baker that's right but it's sort of rude telling a girl "she should be cuter". Imagine if someone said that to your sister, daughter or wife.
I brought up what I said about her looks because we know her because the kind the job she has and not her looks.
@Orel Coper and I will gladly to make you company as long as we can :)
^of
Mainly just trying to get you fired up, Karina. Knew that would get a rise. It was either that or bringing up Rihanna's haircut.
@Orel 4:28 PM four games of televised playoff baseball glory!
If the Yankees lose tonight, tomorrow's last two games are scheduled an hour apart.
Damn, missed a HR by three feet!
Bobbletie!
Lefty-on-lefty violence. I approve.
@Orel that's why remote controls and GTs are for!
@Dusty Baker next time, try with the Rihanna haircut
Up out dis bish.
The incisive snark level just decreased dramatically.
2 hours until they drop the puck in vancouver! woo!
Jaso RBI! 3-2 Rays!
Rays take the lead!
Hello everybody.
Guten Abend, Herr F.
Matt Garza shown taking a huge pinch of dip. Tony who?
Another diving catch by Crawford!
Hello everyone! Hi MrF!
Not that this matters or anything but are RhiRhi and Matty Kemp still an item? Just being nosy.
He's going to be great for the Angels.
(cries)
Carl Crawford should be more recognized for being so good at baseball, don't you think?
@Karina - It's between him, Werth, and Lee as to who gets the biggest contract this winter.
Hi Karen! 4-2 Rays!
@MLASF--Who is going to be great with the Angels?
Crawford.
@Mr LASF
a) he's the best player from all those three
b) he doesn't receive much press, don't you think?, like three years ago he was famous between fantasy players and nothing else, then he graduated to the odd SportsCenter highlights but he should receive more attention, just sayin'
It's because he's played for Tampa Bay his entire career.
6-2 Rays! Looking like at least three games tomorrows!
carlos pena's good at baseball, too.
Pena goes yard, 6-2 Rays!
@Mr LASF sure, if he was half that good and played for the Yankees or the Red Sox, it'd be a different ballgame
HR!!!!!!!!!!
Doesn't anyone find it's sort of relieving to watch and enjoy a game without worries?
Yes, absolutely. Except the Giants games -- very worrisome.
6-2!
@ karina
LOSELOSELOSE
*now back to more drinking*
@Karina--I do. It's much easier to watch a game and enjoy it when I'm not emotionally involved.
But then, there's something to be said about the excitement of a game like last nights.
Rangers fans leaving early? They must be from L.A.!
I THOUGHT WE WERE THE ONLY ONES WHO LEFT EARLY.
LIES. ALL OF IT LIES.
Hmmm, 6-3 Rays.
@karen of course, because we're so rooting for the Giants to fail. It'd be disastrous if they you know, win everything left in this Dodgers dreadful season
Rangers win, now let's switch to the Twins-Yanks
go Twins! (everyone promises no one tells my dad I said that)
I've never heard of this guy starting for the Twins.
@Karina--5:46 Amen, sister
Twins have former Dodgers Orlando Hudson and Jim Thome.
Thank you Orel. My mom has been arguing with me about Thome being with the Dodgers.
Jim Thome stinks.
Epale Y'all
Just passing thru. I have a friend in town and we are in between bouts of drinking and getting ready to head out again. San Antonio is on high alert as satan's sisters are on the loose.
GO TWINS!
@MB "San Antonio is on high alert as satan's sisters are on the loose."
We want pictures!
i don't see what all the fuss is about...new yankee stadium looks pretty tacky if you ask me.
@Karen
We have Gunther and Coper. Your baby is purty. What's your baby's name?
@Orel
Pictures might have to be burned as they could be incriminating evidence ;~))
Twins looking pretty harmless so far. 1-0 Yanks, top 3.
Epale MB--My boy's name is Dusty Blue. I rescued him off of the 10 freeway in 1999. He has been such a joy in my life! What's your girl's name?
@EM
There is a feisty dachsund next door named Miss Daisy if Gunther should need a friend. She gives Baron my 117 lb German Shepherd holy hell.
And as I type this Orel delivers the score. Yanks can bite me!
@Karen
My baby came from Husky rescue and at 6 months had already seen her share of abuse. The name on her papers is Lady Sacha Blue Sky but rescue had named her Pita. Her name now is Nikita since is rhymed.
^it
@MB gunther does seem to get along well with daschunds. he likes to play with any dog he can outrun...of which there aren't many XD
I have a dachshund.
@MrF--Since we're all sharing about our furry children you need to give us some info on your little guy or girl
Yanks score. Crap.
Mega Thread vs.Mega Drunk
*Stay Tuned*
R.I.P. LENNON
The Yankees are going to win.
(sighs)
Well she's not mine. She's my brother's. Back home in Whittier. Her name is TJ. She's a lazy bum.
I really feel bad for Twins fans about now.
Man, I watch one episode of "30 Rock" and the Yanks score three.
Hard to dislike Curtis Granderson, though.
This Mega-Thread seems dead and I am about to catch FIRE.
I think Orel's lack of hate in his last comment derailed the thread.
HATE HATE HATE!!!
like the kings throwback jerseys.
to believe is not going to hurt any of you, ladies and gents :)
At the wedding; they just played DSB; I thought of you guys.
That's a good name for a dog, Karen.
Karina's right. We need to believe in the power of our hate. It worked for the Bravos last night, so let's all muster up so good ole' fashion Yankee HATE!!
Thank you, Dusty
If I were getting married I'd have DSBG do dramatic interpretations of trite wedding songs.
I dunno if this has been mentioned, but there are now videos on youtube of the DSB duet between DSBG and the Hoff.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BwxONSjZJYc
Psh. Steve Perry. He's such a bandwagoner:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPxu10M_6Cg
I really can't stand that song anymore. Or those 2 clowns that dance to it. We need to go Gangsta in Dodger Stadium.
Straight gangsta, Spanky. Good point.
Steve Perry is a big old attention whore
Having said that ^ if I were getting married I would have Tupac and Eazy E doing the tunes and FB doing dramatic interpretations of their hits.
Ice Cube rapping the seventh inning stretch. Cracker jacks and shit
Jeter K.
Yay.
I'd also have Spanky spittin some rhyme - probably House of Pain w some Boo Yah Tribe mixed in.
Could do Biggie's "Hypnotize" as first dance.
Twins aren't putting up much of a fight tonite
Reading the Mega-Thread has made me realize that this is the wave of the future.
FUCK YOU YANKEES
have fun, boys and girls, I'm headed to a farewell party!
MAKE PARTY KARINA!!!
Bye, Karina!
A pulse for the Twins?
(cries)
STOOPID MOFO
It's Over
"Tipsy" for father-daughter dance. Can you handle it Spank?
USC v Collitch Boys is awfully interesting.
@ Dusty
It depends. Who's daughter?
^ somebody else I mean
Mega- Thread ain't shit.
USC " defense" on that last Stanford drive - WTF? Not even worthy of being called a prevent defense. Didn't even make Collitch Bous pay for repeatedly passing in the interior instead of running out patterns to save clock.
Time to take a bow. Steel Reserve time. Aur Revoir!
(cries)
Did everyone leave because baseball is over? Where are the Kings fans at? Nic? Neeebs? el montanero?
kings win!!! nice to see luongo still dives with the best of 'em. cheatin' bastard. kopitar is halfway to joker face. nice effort and good way to start the season.
Woohoo! Kings win!
eh! kings
*laughs*
I'm all drunk, bored and with no life. Fuck it. I scrolled back a bit of my year of SoSG and realized I baptized this bitch with my first FUCK on 4/29/10.
And Kudos to my 2 peers from season's start, Karen and Meanie. We are still here unlike other fools. Or maybe we are the FOOLS?!
Any complaints? The line starts on the left.
Trolling ca.10/09
EAT MY CACA GNATS!
