Distracted by realtor and mortgage-lender types and flying around the country aside, this is just excellent. The only thing cooler would have been if you'd posted this thing from First Class, somewhere 30,000 feet over Bogue Chitto, Mississippi or thereabouts.
I don’t mind the station-to-station, wait for a 3-run HR offense if the 3-run HRs eventually materialize.
This is the flaw in the three-homers-and-a-cloud-of-dust offense. Aside from 1.) it often doesn't work well in post-season, and 2.) it is usually boring as shit to watch anytime. There is an assumption the Big Hit will always come, sooner or later, but that appears not to be so. With the Astros particularly, and the NL in general. HRs are down about 10% so far this season, which may just be an anomaly - they dropped off by that much in 2005, but increased again last season. Overall, though, yackball seems to be trending generally downward. Get ahead of the curve, I say. Put a couple of jackrabbits at the top of the order, Lee and Berkman in the middle, and line drive and gap hitters the rest of the way. Purp, are you listening? Look, gotta go. Need to call this shit in to Charlie
Palll, Charlie
Poo, to CP right away.
In the wake of that douche bag from St. Louis getting all liquored up, smoking some weed, driving over the speed limit, while talking on the phone, not wearing the seatbelt and then killing himself, there’s been a lot of talk of clubs banning alcohol in the clubhouse. What a crock of shit.
I believe the operating philosophy here is alcohol is easier to ban than stupid ass-ism.
The single greatest development in modern religion is Vacation Bible School. Bar none. And the best part is that all the local churches stagger it around. Basically, it’s a way for parents to unload their youngsters for about 5 hours a day for a week at a time. Our church’s VBS isn’t until the end of the month, but my sister-in-law’s church has theirs this week. Our neighbor’s church has it the following week. My wife’s friend’s church has theirs the next week and then its our church’s turn. That’s 4 weeks straight of being kid-free. Praise Jesus!!!
Thanks for the tip. I'm going to check into this. Theoretically, if you worked it right, you could farm out your kids to the Christians and have about a five week long block party. Praise Jesus, indeed.
Thanks for the great Series Preview. I did not realize just how much I depended on these things, until we didn't have one.
