Four years ago these were the best teams in baseball, and now it's a "Who sucks worst?" competition.
Who are the starters today? That's Randy Johnson and somebody, right? Yikes for them.
On similar topic, I am following my team via CBS Sportsline, which has a nice graphical display, including headshots of the hitter and pitcher, and a diagram of the strike zone. Unfortunately, it has only a tenuous relationship with our concepts of space. For example:
Mueller singled to deep left, Varitek scored.
Ever look at Fenway Park? There is no such thing as deep left. There is very shallow left, and then a 40-foot high wall.
I just came back from a walk outside. Lovely day. Why am I so responsible that I cannot skip out on the rest of today and just sunbathe??

Nope, Randy was Monday. This is Jamie Moyer vs. Carl Pavano.
Note to people who shake my hand: SHAKE MY FUCKING HAND. Don't just extend it limply for me to shake. What if we both did that, huh? We could just press clammy palms at each other.
Take responsibility for the exchange, people.

Deep left probably means "off the wall" at Fenway.
I wanted to like the CBS gamecasts, because I like the graphics better, but I didn't find it as good overall as the MLB gamecasts.
Poor dumb Carl. My flatmate loves to recall an interleague game he started in 2003, at Fenway. 19 batters went to the plate in the first inning -- the first 11 reached base; 13 of them got hits; Johnny Damon was up 3 times (and was a HR shy of the cycle
in one inning
). The Red Sox scored 10 runs before the Marlins recorded a single out, and 14 before the inning ended.
That is what Carl is famous for, poor boy. (They pulled him well before the inning ended, so it's not all his fault, but sheesh.)

ewwwwwwwww... We had an intern here for a week who did this. He was a kid -- like a junior in high school. I really wanted to explain to him how disgusting it was. I thought I might save him a lot of rejection in his future. I didn't though. I may have mentioned something to my boss though to have him say something to the kid. Man to man kind of advice.
And, well, Moyer was once the ace (or nearly so) of the Cubs' staff. In pre-Wood days.
Has this been posted? I'm so far behind in Bitches....
Bizarre Sex Habits of The Extreme Right-Wing
Last night, anti-abortion extremist Neal Horsley was a guest on The Alan Colmes Show, a FOX News radio program. The topic was an interesting one - whether or not an internet service provider should allow Horsley to post the names of abortion doctors on his website. Horsley does that as a way of targeting them and one doctor has been killed. In the course of the interview, however, Colmes asked Horsley about his background, including a statement that he had admitted to engaging in homosexual and bestiality sex.

AC: "You had sex with animals?"
NH: "Absolutely. I was a fool. When you grow up on a farm in Georgia, your first girlfriend is a mule."
AC: "I'm not so sure that that is so."
NH: "You didn't grow up on a farm in Georgia, did you?"
AC: "Are you suggesting that everybody who grows up on a farm in Georgia has a mule as a girlfriend?"
NH: It has historically been the case. You people are so far removed from the reality... Welcome to domestic life on the farm..."

Suddenly, the whole gay marriage-->box turtle comment makes so much more sense.
