Baseball season's over. The playoffs are for somebody else. Not like when Mr. LaRouchelle brought the T.V. into my 6th grade class, supplanting that afternoon's reading, writing, 'rithmatic, etc., with the Orioles/Reds series of 1970. Ah, the days when the World Series was played under the sun. Night ball these days sorta reminds me of that episode of Northern Exposure when the town's populace had to wear headlamps for the six-months of little natural light so they wouldn't slip into depression. That's night ball on T.V., and I say you can have it!
Dunno who this rookie Devern Hanseck is, having never heard of him before, but I thought at first glance it was Oil Can Boyd making a comeback.
Color me surprised with the Pats win over Cincy today. Heck, I thought it would be a blowout, except New England, after looking like the Joe Kapp Pats against Denver, was looking ripe for taking it up the chute again, what with two of their starting secondary types out against maybe the second best passing game in the NFL. Of course winning the games you're not supposed to makes them all the sweeter.
Peripheral noise has it the Rocket's been juicin'. Given his longevity and uncommon dominance during which, all I can say is "nooooo... !" Uh, that'd be sarcasm. Gotta wonder, though, what goes on in Jason Grimsley's world where he becomes one of baseball's snitches on everybody he ever played with, not that I care about the cheats. So far only Curt Flood can be proud of his outside-the-foul-lines exploits in Baseball history.
Some still say, hey, if they want to juice and max out on their talent, where's the harm? To which, of course, the answer is: Fine! They're big boys. But it's the kids growing up who learn and feel compelled to juice earlier and earlier in order to compete. Not kosher. We're sick enough a society and becoming sicker by the day.
And speaking of the Speaker of the House... You think even the protectors of pedophiles can lose their seats of power when the voting machines are rigged in 80 percent of the nation's polling areas?
We The People are sooooo screwed!
Aaaaaaand that's sports!

how about that game, huh? I almost put a bet down on Cincy. Glad I didn't on soooo many levels.
Think you and Pelosi are overdoing it on the pedophile issue. there is zero proof that Hastert, et al. turned a blind eye to this. Apparently, there was an investigation of sorts (not FBI, but we have seen how testy Congress gets when the FBI wants to look in the freezer). What bothers me is the law (naturally). Still waiting to see if he actually did anything besides sending questionable emails, which is not illegal. Must be something we are not hearing/seeing in the media.
never EVER, dingleberry, bet against the team you love...
that is the ultimate sucker's bet...
and you oughta take a look at the juxtaposed shots on kos of hastert and bernie law, old man... the zen is inescapable...
having said all that, i have a problem w/speech police too...
but content nearly clearly indicates he didn't stop at IMs...
Bet against the Pats in the last Super Bowl because I got seven points. Pats won by less, so I get the bonus - Pats won but didn't cover, so I won 2X.
As Damon Runyon once said, "the race is not always to the swiftest nor the battle to the strongest . . . But that is the way you bet."
