Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So far behind...
Divers = teh yum
DH = evil (Yes, as an avid A's fan, I am still against the DH, and in this case I am speaking of the designated hitter). One of the reasons I'm digging the Rockies - baseball the way it should be played.
Divers = still yum
ION, my mother said she "might" call me when she got home tonight, but she didn't! Bah.
Mark Spitz is angry no one invited him to any olympic broadcast - what with his record possibly about to be broken....
Should I be shot dead for considering a Purseket? Is it at the top of the aging-dork purchases?
javachick, I am infamous for my practical sensibilities. If it works for you, do it unapologetically.
Of course, I am a big dork who can't judge ages (WTF,you mean my parents are in their mid to late 60s? 60 looks older! And who the hell is 33?!) and would really rather someone else dress and accessorize me, so grain of sodium chloride and all that.
Trying to explain the DH rule to Fay at the SF2F is one of my more cherished memories, especially the part where I explained the NL and AL. She had just barely grasped baseball, and then when I mentioned TWO LEAGUES, it was all over, and that was even *before* the national anthem, when she (loudly) sung "God Save the Queen."
(Also, the DH is wronger than the wrongest thing ever made in a wrong-making factory in Wrongonia. I echo the "if you can pitch 'em, you can take 'em" sentiment.

Huh. I'm surprised they didn't, actually. I kind of get why he's pissed. Has he turned into some kind of embarrassing freakshow or something that the network doesn't want to grapple with?

Ha! That's from the same place that made my Attack of Literacy t-shirt.
I am aware that "Without the designated hitter rule Edgar Martinez wouldn't have had such a long and wonderful career" is not an argument that will sway anyone. It's all heart and no head, which is not how I normally roll. But I'm glad there's a DH because I got to see Edgar play. And he belongs in Cooperstown in a couple more years, dammit.
Are they showing the swimming live on the East Coast? (Just saw Phelps get another gold on CBC)
