86 Years of Futility
Posted by TFG on October 27th, 2004
Well, it’s a nice win for the Boston Red Sox, but by gosh, the idiots on the teevee are bound and determined to completely ruin it.
But that Jeanne Zelasko — looks like she could stretch the owl shirt.
Thank you, Fox, for bringing us a decent interview with Tony LaRussa. I believe now that he is a human, and I congratulate him on his accomplishments.
Best blog line of the night: At least it wasn’t Philly who won. Those fans would have taken out at least a third of the US before they passed out. [Link inserted by me, because Al's the first guy I thought of when I read it]
Prima facie evidence while I’ll never be a BlogBigWheel: IF YOU HAD YOUR CHOICE, people of Boston, would you rather see your team win the World Series or your Senator win the Presidency?
I would hope my lifelong pals Otis or the Senator would just shoot me between the eyes if I ever asked such a ridiculous question. Presidents are about nickel a dozen — I could round up 10 guys who would do a better job than these guys in about, oh, a half a day. World Series, on the other hand, don’t just drop in your lap every day (unless you’re the @#$%ing Yankees with %$#@ing Steinbrenner’s checkbook).

Perhaps, but it’s clear why they usually keep her behind a desk obscured from the waist down.

Quite true — surprising, no? I feel like Sir Mix-A-Lot who said it first…“I like big butts and I cannot lie.”

Very nice. Gonna have to give that guy a visit.
I thought it was great with all the interviewers asking a player, who just won the World Series 5 GODDAMN MINUTES before, about their free agency. Classy.

Re: that Philly cheap shot.
Yes, of course that must be true that Philly would trash half of the east coast if we had wone. Because, of course, fires and riots when people win never happens anywhere else, like say LA or Detroit, or Morgantown WV.
Please. We boo people who suck. We boo people who suck, even (or especially) if they’re on our own teams. Get over it. Occasionally, we’ll throw snowballs at Jimmy Johnson because, face it, he deserves it. That’s about it. People need to just get off of it.
/end rant.

Easy there, Turbo…it’s all in good fun. I wouldn’t have linked to Al if I didn’t think it was funny.
Yeesh — touchy Nor’easters.

I’m just wound a little tight today. It’s not directed at you, but more at the cheap shots in general. No hard feelings

No problemo — just wanted to make sure you knew I don’t think you’re really a rampaging horde of Injuns.
