Next year, I'm gonna know what that shit means. Blame Keith Olbermann.

Shit, I'm trying to remember his home run call during SportsCenter. I don't know if he had one, or he just riffed on other announcer's famous calls. I think he was fond of "backbackback" (referring to the outfielder going back on a fly ball) followed by a "...he's not gonna get it." I do remember his favorite hockey call which was a very old fashioned "he puts the biscuit in the basket" for a goal.

And, of course, any player in any sport who was on a hot streak was "En Fuego!"

When the Giants changed the name of Candlestick Park because of corporate sponsorship, he publically flat-out refused to use the corporate name.

I'm back! Thankfully I did not get a shot in the butt. Doc gave me some samples of once a day big dose of antibiotics. Said it should be ok in 2-3 days. He said that it is not unusual to get the infection 7-10 days after the scrape when the scab is falling away. Particularly with road scrapes. Still hurts bad so I took another pain pill when I got home. Just one this time.

Now I think it would be irresponsible to work on people's computer systems while on drugs so catching up on ahemed television for me! And internet!

{{ChiKat}} Sorry that not working today was not an option.

Doctors! Leave her butt alone! t /Floyd

Hope those pills fix you up right and proper, Laura.

It's gonna take a while, cause I'm such Blank Slate Girl, right? Maybe he and Dan can have a Henry Higgins bet, huh? Cause I won't say I know nothing, just almost. Rain bad. Camden Yards pretty?

Rain bad. Camden Yards pretty?

That's a start. Though most agree that PNC Park in Pittsburgh is now the fairest at the ball.

But Camden Yards just sounds better.

Sounds like a good plan, Laura, the pills and the not-working and the catching up.

My stepdad and brother are fond of "flight of the enchanted tater" for home runs. t edit As am I.

"Kiss that one goodbye" is probably my favorite homerun call.

My favorite baseball announcing patter, though, i ssome random color commentary, I think during a Giants game, on the radio. I don't even know who the announcers were, because I don't pay that close attention, but I guess there were a lot of fly balls. After saying "and this one has a chance to drop" several times, one of the guys says "They all have a chance to drop, if you think about it, it's just a question of where they land." I don't know why, exactly but I love that - it's stuck with me for years.

Heh. That sounds like Giants announcer Jon Miller.

From the Hollywood Reporter:

Anyone hoping for a straight answer from a cast member of NBC's "The Office" was sorely disappointed. The cast, which won for best ensemble in a comedy series, had jokes for most questions posed. When asked about their impression of the SAG Award statuette, Rainn Wilson (who plays Dwight Schrute) said: "There's a nub where the genitals should be. I actually posed for this several years ago. I was buttocks model for this." When asked what to expect from future episodes of the NBC comedy, Paul Lieberstein (Toby) answered, "Someone will die." When it appeared that the press corps took it seriously, he quickly added: "I'm kidding about someone will die. But an animal will attack. Nobody is safe." One of the few serious utterances came from Jenna Fischer (Pam Beesly), who revealed what she was thinking when the cast of "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" was presenting the award. "I was daydreaming and wondered if one day in many years we'll be getting back together to present an award. We truly like each other."
