and out comes Kyle Farnsworth
I am really fucking upset, if that's what you mean, MB.
BOOOOOOOO
@DB - Aren't we all? I don't know if there is enough alcohol out there to take away the surliness. We are all feeling the HATE!
im going to enjoy watching the phillies rout their way through the gints on their way to the WS.
after that i will just stop watching baseball.
I think I'm going to break out the Xanax
I'm so pissed I can't comment
@Karen
I'm with ya sista. Off to Xanadu!
It's time Jason Heyward
@MB - this is for you
no way, blue!
karen knows where the party's at
Wilson's gonna split his pants
FB - You just made me laugh out loud. Thanks, the comic relief was sorely needed.
pinch run Dave Roberts!
I said Roberts, not Ross
anytime, MB
that is NOT a strike, blue!
fudge
shit
you can see the Just For Men sweating out of Wilson's beard
In the upper side, they are playing in Atlanta, so I say Braves in 5?
yes, the Giants' fans will get to see them lose game 5!
Well, shitsticks.
kings better beat the flames tonight or i will do something.
yeah, something.
ok I am out. Time to watch Community, Season 1, Disc 3.
Yall know where the Slivovitz is. Use as necessary, lather, rinse, repeat.
Insta Poll:
Which is worse, the Schwab commercials in the stereo-scopic style where the geezer bitches about the financial advice he's getting, or the Hancock commercials featuring melancholy white guys exchanging text messages on their retirement futures?
@Nic, I'm a little slow and just noticed your avatar. Your baby is cute. What's the name?
@MB - his name is Vegas.
that's a very cool name, NicJ
Phillies already up by one, did everybody give up about baseball?
@Karina--I'm back. I drove over to my mom's house to watch the game with her.
@DB--5:07 They are both annoying but I think the Schwab one wins the prize.
@karen that's my girl
I'm still here watching baseball!
@Karen
I kinda dislike the Hancock ones worse. The whole "I'm a late middle age white guy sitting around drinking coffee and reading the paper at a coffee shop during the middle of the work day while texting my spouse about our retirement plans" bit just rubs me the wrong god damned way.
that is a long ass sentence dusty
BTW the red team is going to win
@DB--When you lay it out like that it's hard to disagree with!!
@Spank--You are such a profound man
I drank two beers and watched one Red Sox v Yankmes game while composing that one sentence.
Nothing is worse than life insurance commercials on that count. Take any of them.
Next trip to Capitol Hill for me I'm going to start lobbying for the banishment of those lame-ass thick rope necklace thingies that so many baseball players wear now. LAME, I tells you. Not sure what the Committee of jurisdiction would be...maybe Energy and Commerce. Hello, Chairman Waxman!
@Karina--I think Hamels is pretty cute. What do you think?? I'll take an opinion from you guys, too!!
On the plus side, not only is Steven Seagal's "Hard to Kill" on TV, it's on in Spanish! "Dificil de Matar", here I come...
I agree with you Dusty. Andres Torres had one on that looked like my dogs collar.
@ karen
I'll do Hamels
@Karen
Hamels is definitely easy on the eyes.
Hi MB!! I didn't know you were still here
@ Mr.F
What are you watching? Telemundo
@Spanky--If the Reds win, will there be any nekked running tonite?
I'm lurking while multitasking.
It might be a Bay Area thing. THe station is "KFSFD".
@ karen
The reds are not worthy of a nekked run unless they win 3 in a row. In that case I'm off to the races.
I found it on KAJB here in my hood
I don't think I'll actually watch it...
Look out MB. P.Ditty is creeping up on ya
If the Phiwwies win, at least we know they can beat the gnats.
@Spank
Yikes, I was better off not knowing. Now I will be obsessed with watching the score.
@karen @Spanky @Meaniebreanie yes, Hamels is a good looking young man. Though, the one who broke my heart when he became a Philly is Roy Halladay, he's dreamy.
I've had a crush on him since he played in Venezuelan winter baseball in 1998, he even went to the Serie del Caribe!
Boooooooooooo
Oh, Karina, you fell into a trap! So it's okay to talk about a player being good looking but I can't say a reporter is not good looking?
*scratches head, sensing a double standard*
;-)
BTW I think Hamels is easy enough on the eyes. He was goofy looking when he was younger but he's matured well. Plus, he washes his hair.
cc: Timmeh
If the Phillies make it to the WS, do they officially nominate Brox as their MVP, since he saved home field for the NL? He has a bad habit of helping them out.
Or Jay Bruce.
Reds already swinging for the fences. This one is done.
Karina Ackbar "it's a trap"
Reds, meet Twins. Sweepsville, population: you.
Finish it up Phiwwies so you'll be nice and rested to whup the shit out of Braves/Jints.
Travelers Insurance: Where we compare our customers to snakes.
@Orel
Our household does not get the snake/rabbit commercial. Wouldn't the rabbit be more scared, rightly, of the snake's bite, not its rattle, whether the rattle was real or a taped on baby rattler?
This question has perplexed us all afternoon.
Josh are you sad that your baseball grandpa is leaving the Dodgers?
Shane Victorino gets kicked in the head.
Good
^ That was almost word for word the conversation that Mrs Dusty and I had re that play at 2nd.
500
(cries)
I was leaving 500 open hoping MLASF would come in and snipe!
Those "Mission October" t-shirts that Reds fans are wearing are akin to Bush's "Mission Accomplished" banner.
Was that the Violent Femmes playing on the organ?
RAMON!
Prof and I are tied at 91. He's gonna overtake me. Upset that Clayton got carted off the field. I didn't want to lose.
(SOBS)
Some GOOD fantasy matchups this week, outside of Mr C's blowout win.
Thanks for reminding me about Clayton. I had forgot.
*silent scream*
DB - Speak for yourself. I just lost : (
My team sucks.
I'm going to put a cape on Meanies dog.
and the kings lose too.
At least they won yesterday.
My record just went 2 - 3. I look about as good as my Cowboys do.
(Sobs)
Embrace Failure
@MB
You fought hard! Good matchup.
I am very sad re Cowboys. I got nothing NFL wise these days (years).
When does NBA start?
#YourWorldChampionLosAngelesLakers
the kings are sure looking like they need an elite goal scorer.
Spank
Good luck trying to get that on her. She's like greased lightning. Her name should have been Bullet or Taz for Tasmanian devil.
oct 26th is ring night
@DB "Our household does not get the snake/rabbit commercial. Wouldn't the rabbit be more scared, rightly, of the snake's bite, not its rattle, whether the rattle was real or a taped on baby rattler?"
The rabbit forgot his fear when he saw the baby rattle; hence, if you don't keep your stuff fixed, then rabbits will laugh at you. Or something like that.
I'll entice it with dead possum
@Orel
It's not the first white rabbit bit that people haven't ever understood.
#JeffersonAirplane
DB - I'm afraid this is going to be a very long winter for Texas teams. None of them are looking so hot. The Spurs have the best shot and they are old and in desperate need of rebuilding.
Your LA teams and even the Razorbacks are looking good.
(More tears)
@Spank
Unless she kills it she's not interested.
HaHa What idiots the phils are
Going back to earlier today, was there a reason given why the Rangers didn't start Cliff Lee on short rest so they could lock it down? Then he could have started ALCS Game 1 on regular rest.
burn in hell, DB.
@Dusty Baker "Oh, Karina, you fell into a trap! So it's okay to talk about a player being good looking but I can't say a reporter is not good looking?
*scratches head, sensing a double standard*"
it's veeeery different, I'm not dismissing anyone's looks. I'm just making a compliment, sense the difference?
@Josh, Ron Washington was too busy doing lines to make those decisions.
Wow 9ers fail. I wish it was the Giants to be the SF team to pull off that kind of fail.
@Josh - It's because he doesn't have enough grit.
That's what Washington calls crack, right? Grit?
The Phillies sure make a lot of contact against a guy who throws 100+ mph.
The Reds have a pulse!
Reds lose!
FUCK PHILY
I feel like someone kicked my stomach :(
The Reds fans have that deer in the headlights look
This Simpsons episode is very funny.
I'm trying to focus on the fact that the Phillies look like they can roll right over the gnats.
STOOPID BART HIT HOMER WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE WALKED
Agreed Karen.
karen, you should give some credit to the Braves. In the hideous scenario the Giants get into the NLCS, I think we're gonna get the bigger evils and the biggest evils.
booooooooo
Actually Karina, with all due respect, I don't see the difference. We either judge someone's looks or we don't. But it's not logical to say it's okay if we judge them to be attractive but inappropriate if we judge them not to be.
Looks like my total meltdown will commence on Thursday or Friday.
I have to digress, Dusty. One thing is saying "your baby is cute" and another is "your baby could be way more good looking". See the difference?
What did Heyman say, MLASF?
One is a compliment, another is sort of derogative.
@Karina
Nope, not at all. We either judge looks or we do not. We can't have a standard that says positive statement of looks is ok but a judgment of poor looks is not okay.
Sorry, can't work through this one.
@Karina re compliment vs derogative
That's exactly my point; thanks for making it. We don't exist in a space where only complimentary comments are handed out.
@Karina--What I meant was as long as the hated Phillies won, at least of the two teams, they look like the best ones to beat the gnats.
Well said, Karina.
(cries)
Nic, I'm in disbelief about what this PHI defense has done. I assume that was the object of your HATE? It was accidental if it makes you feel any better.
isnt FF all accidental/luck?
i just happen to only get the bad kind.
woof
Is this GT anywhere near the largest? Does anyone know?
JonHeyman -
chooch just hit a 105-mph fastball for a double. chooch is the most under-rated player in baseball. #phillies, #chooch
@Nic
It is entirely and unequivocally luck on my part, to be sure
ps- I wasn't credited with that last interception. BOOOOOOOOOOOO!
We've tipped past 1000, Karen. This doesn't even begin to scratch the surface.
@DB, you'll get it when they do the score corrections tomorrow.
not like you need it anyway.
This does officially qualify as a Mormon Ultra-Thread, though.
I didn't see the Mormons.
@Dusty Baker but in this time, some places more than others (and by any chance I'm saying it's your case) it seems women are very hardly judged by their looks and some idiots think a physically attractive woman is somehow above other women, no matter what. Some bigger idiots think that's the only thing that matters in a woman and maybe I overreacted yesterday, but I suffered that kind of abuse since I was a teenager, like the one time a co-worker told me I should die because I wasn't hot.
Wow, over 1000! Thanks MLASF
Molly Knight and he didn't say she is ugly, he said he'd wish she had better looks.
Lemme see, we passed 800 once when Michael Jackson died, we tipped 1000 when the Dodgers lost Game 5 last year, any other mega-ultra-hyper-mega threads I'm forgetting?
If it means anything Molly Knight's red eyes scare the living shit out of me.
ha! the Michael Jackson one was memorable!
MLB only had that pitch at 103.5mph.
So suck it chooch.
molly knight is alright looking.
her tweets are pretty ugly though.
Ay yi yi, Karina.
That's sincerely regrettable, but probably not solvable on this particular blog or in a GT. This space isn't representative of the real world; it's a catharsis for unrequited Dodgers and other sports success. When we say things about people, it's because they are in the public eye and because we have an internet connection. I'd caution you against reading too much, if anything, into our comments (certainly that's the case for me).
@Karina--That's horrible what that co-worker said to you. I'm so sorry you had to put up with that.
^ So technically I was saying something nicer about her than calling her ugly. See, it was a sideways sorta compliment!
I always find it funny that Josh Fisher has more followers than her. He, the law student from Minnesota who started a blog covering this mudslinging brawl of a divorce, versus she, the professional writer for ESPN Magazine.
people read ESPN magazine?
^Also, outside of looks, she has a very ugly personality side to her as evidenced by some DMs that she sent me on the Twitters.
Sax reads ESPN Magazine, I believe.
Well, the insider thing is free with a subscription.
I'm curious to see how Philly will fare in the NLCS without the Dodgers imploding and handing it to them.
What's a DM?
Direct message.
what kind of DM's DB?
I asked her a serious question about whether or not MLB could punish the Rockies if they were tampering with baseballs and all I got in response was a pretty awful joke.
yeah i saw that MLASF.
make helton buy the dodgers.
yuk yuk yuk
I had no idea who Molly Knight was until MLASF just said she wrote for ESPN magazine
I even said "in all seriousness!"
@Nic
She wanted to say something really....witchy about some things I tweeted (that had utterly nothing to do with her, ESPN, her existence, or anything) but instead of doing so in a way everyone could see she DM'd me. Was really rude regarding how only professional reporters vs. bloggers or tweeters.
she is going to come on here any minute now and throw a bunch of GIF's and yell at us.
i can feel it.
maybe professional writers should stay the fuck off twitter then.
But that is where they go to try out their comedy routines.
Molly Knight wrote one bang-up article on the divorce, but her Twitter coverage of the trial has been awful. Fisher is The Man when it comes to the divorce. She cant touch what he's doing. Somehow though, they got linked together like they're Woodward and Bernstein or something.
Fisher is so much hotter too.
wait...
How is Moriyama these days? I only see his tweets when someone re-Tweets them. Are he and MSTI still in constant derisive conversation? Do we agree with what they're saying?
"maybe professional writers should stay the fuck off twitter then.
But that is where they go to try out their comedy routines."
You just summed up my feelings towards Ken Levine. But that's another topic for another day.
I still follow MSTI. He's much funnier, does not use stupid emoticons, and actually does not endlessly mock people who disagree with him.
No one wants to set up the volley?
@ Nic and Josh
HAH to both your comments. Cracking me up.
Yeah people I consider good writers (Knight among them) generally tend to be really shitty tweeters for the reason Nic gave re comedy routines. Or you could do the local angle like that Arash guy does and just tweet about who you see at the game you're covering.
Don't mess with Arash. He's cool.
I stopped following MSTI when it became clear that he didnt know you could reply to a tweet rather than RT so i have to look at your stupid convo with moriyama.
Totally agree re MSTI. I just don't want to watch 732 tweets and re-tweets back and forth between him and Moriyama.
@NicJ I concur her tweets are very ugly.
@Dusty Baker you're right but I'm on a crusade against that kind of remarks, as you might know or not, I'm surrounded by men. In the other hand, if she's been horrible to you, that's really a flaw and I could stand up to your honor ;)
@karen he's not really a very nice guy. I want to think he's just a little bit misguided but in the circles I move in, this is a pretty common behavior.
@Mr LASF that guy might be a law student but he's doing the same as a very talented and experience reporter.
@MLASF
Seriously?
eh, Arash and his "Why cant the Clippers win?" articles bother me.
You can tell ESPN really tightened his leash after that Lebron article.
Anyone who gets blocked by ESPN for some LeBron article gets major points in my book.
When I followed Arash, his tweets consisted almost entirely of "David Beckham is sitting a few feet away at the Lakers game and here's what he's doing."
or him and his "girlfriends" out clubbing.
In spite he really got on my nerves when he mocked Sarah (from all people! I can't still digest that) I decided to give him a chance and l agree with what Mr LASF said about him.
Either that or we just got immunized. I couldn't never follow Moriyama.
I don't think he was mocking Sarah. He was just saying that she doesn't deserve the bully pulpit that she has.
Not saying I agree, just trying to point out his opinion.
Im not a fan of Sarah and her articles of the obvious.
Ahhhh, here's a recent Arash:
"I sat with Diane Lane recently and couldn't stop thinking about “Unfaithful" but got through the interview nonetheless. http://es.pn/ckyJH5
9:10 PM Oct 6th via TweetMeme"
This twitter/blogger drama is when you all lose me.
And just like that, everyone goes quiet.
I said it once, I'll say it again:
M. Knight Slamathon
@Mr LASF we disagree on that and this is very rare. The thing that got me fired up is that she can't defend herself and the other thing is I can't stand a man sort of bullying a woman.
@Mr F you should join us in Twitter, then.
@Mr F when you said you get lost with the Twitter/blogger drama , it doesn't really speak well of us ;)
@MrF--I'm like you. I get totally lost in all the twitter chatter.
Just watched the Simpsons "Moneybart." Fun!
Hacks will be Hacks. And they tweet to make themselves feel special. The reporters that is.
I'd join, but Twitter scares me. I feel that it would overwhelm me.
Yeah, Mr F...I don't think it's for you right now. Will let you know if any pertinent information comes out of the Twittersphere. Don't wait up for it.
Hacks gonna hack.
@Mr F nah...it is actually pretty useful, you might feel overwhelmed at first but nothing too hard to adjust.
Well, good night, my princes and princesses. Enough for today and I need to wake up at 4 am.
@Spanky btw, I'm feeling bad for our match :( and believe me, I'm not mocking.
4 a.m.??? That's brutal. Sleep tight!
I'm out for the night, too. Goodnight all.
On this M. Knight tweet, I'm out, too:
"I'd re-tweet what I said a week ago about Hamels being the key to the Phillies World Series run but I'm too lazy to find it. Anyway. Yeah."
GAH. Is this a generational thing?
Ciao K's
Lates Y'all
just to chime in real quick on the day in sports, including the jints and phillies wins and the kings loss, i'd just quickly like to say...shitfuck nippleballs stupidass monkey-licking buttmuffin titty-fucking anal douche goddamn asswipe stupid turd-eating sonofabitch ass hate! HAAATE!
that said, have a good night, all!
Oh my God, The Simpsons was AWESOME. It was a worthy successor to Homer At The Bat. Also, it perfectly encapsulated the Great Dodger Blog Twitter War of 2010.
