Bullpen

Thanks bawl... Nothing like heading into the weekend with allergy-triggered watery eyes.

We have a fawn colored greyhound named Thurman. He's 11 years old and as I was telling Beerball, I'm not sure how much longer Thurman is going to be with us, he's pretty long in the tooth.

Do you hates 'em as much as hobbitses?

So do candy corns as I recall from last year's Derek Fine topic.

10 out of 12, but for some reason the beer I drink kills the useful brain cells and leaves alone the ridiculous ones like the ones I used for this quiz. I agree with you Pooj, Carrie/Carye, whatever, is one hot freaky chick! (please don't let her be from Boston, that'll ruin everything for me)

... and where is IceColdBruschi and Mr. WEO to defend the honor of the Patriots?

Pooj, you know I have what some might call an "unhealthy" disdain for anything Boston-centric or relating to "The Apostle" Curt Shilling.

Oooops, one last thing... Yep it's always about you isn't it Schilling? D-bag. http://38pitches.weei.com/sports/boston/ba...s-the-big-deal/ He just won't go away will he?

Hilarious post on Deadspin about "The Nation" http://deadspin.com/5397294/important-base...out-the-red-sox My own thoughts on the game FWIW (which is nothing): Now that the WS is over does that mean Jayson Werth and Chase Utley can get back to purchasing Affliction and Ed Hardy shirts? I know it's hectec on the podium during the post-game presentation, but man does Chris Rose bug. Cozying up to Jeter, but calling him "Jeets?" I loved how Posada didn't even really answer his question at all and went with his own message to the fans and Mr. Stienbrenner. Joe Girardi looks as much like Skeletor as Dick Jauron. Jorge, stay behind the g-damn plate!!! We don’t need a conference to get ready for a conference and then another conference to follow up the conference. When Ryan Howard steps into the batters box, can we just forgo the formalities and just give him two strikes to start off with? One of McCarver’s points in his Cliff Lee Scouting Report was: Cliff Lee breaks a lot of bats. Seriously… Who’s dumber Cole Hamels or his wife? According to Heidi, it’s just always been her destiny to have African children, or something like that: “We’re in the process of adopting an AIDS orphan from Ethiopia,” she said. “Maybe two. I’m so pumped. I’d adopt six if I could. When I was five years old — I grew up in a very rural town in Missouri, and I had never even seen a black person — they asked us to draw a picture of ourselves in the future, and I drew myself holding hands with a line of tiny black stick figures. I’ve always wanted this.” So Brett Myers is struggling to stay relevant by provoking his own teammates now? What dressing your son up in a confederate flag, fighting a reporter and punching out your wife wasn’t enough? He does remember he’s Brett “I wasn’t even on the active NLCS roster” Myers and the other Guy is Cole “I have an NLCS and World Series MVP award” Hamel? Whenever I hear the Fox music intro, I feel like I’m watching “The Natural.”

I was in "lurker" mode back then, but yeah I know what you mean... kind of like if they came out with a beer called LSI's Billdo or something right?

Well, did I mention I ONLY use imported extra virgin olive oil to pop the popcorn? For salt, I use the highest quality freshly ground sea salt as well. In fact I don't actually make the popcorn myself, I summon Jeeves to take care of that task and I find it quite beneath me! I read his post last night and thought about responding then, but assumed maybe he would edit it out or delete it. How do you NOT do something if you are witness to that kind of thing?

Upgrade on the alien broad. Downgrade on the suit.

That's why I have a greyhound... no one ever sizes him up for General Tsao's anything.

Okay, this is screaming for a threadjack and I'm sorry for doing it, Chef. You heard him slap his girlfriend? I hope you mean, "heard him slap the **** out of his GF and then I went in a stomped a mudhole in his ass."

Check with Beerball on how to make "spoiler" posts.... If the "visitor" wimmins ain't as hot as Diana and wear the same spandex space suits, well...

You gonna share any with the 5th year senior? You know chef (disclaimer I'm a popcorn elitist as well), i use my aluminum "wing bowl" (the one I use to sauce my wings) and some aluminum foil on the top and only make popcorn on the stove and at first my family was looking at me like "WTF? Just fire up the microwave." Then they tried the stove-top stuff and they won't even eat the microwave stuff. Guess I've raised a family of "elitists."

Edward James Olmos was a very attractive man and very verbose.

Yep, by looking like every other hipster doofus. Like Chef's sig line: "Freedom from the need to be trendy must be one of the biggest blessings of old age."

They have a wonderful restaurant there you know!! (or so I've been told) Sad state of affairs when your airport is known more for it's restaurant than it's actual primary purpose.

And take the size sticker off the brim and put at least a SLIGHT bend in that brim while you're at it!!!!!

That's the first thing I thought of when I saw that post KD! Here you go!!!

It looks like gansta kitty is getting annoyed.

What about leering? Gazing? Looking?
