I'm dying a slow and horrible death here. I feel like Rodney Dangerfield on the set of Caddyshack.

Seriously, someone...

Good? Bad? Utter Bollocks?

It made a great impression on my speech class today, though I am not sure they believed my explaination of what you meant by cornholing.

Great work. I should have said something before.
It's my estimation that every man ever got a statue made of 'em was one kinda sombitch or another.

Thanks for this.

Series Previews are a big part of my Astros season, and you are keeping the tradition of profanely high quality that the S.P.s have become famous for.

But then, what the fuck do I know?
He breezed him, one more time!

I'll take any compliments, no matter how grossly misinformed/wrong they might be!

Don't forget his younger brother named Carlos.

Corey Hart has the one of the cruelest names in MLB.  I saw the Brew play the Marlins last week and I couldn't help but start humming every time he came up to bat.
Always ready to go to a game.

Good read for ME, anyway.  Handicapping the brat races?  Who da thunk it?

"(512) ybbodeus looks just as creepy in HD as in person."   That is a problem, and we are working on it.

Just now had the opportunity to read the preview.  Top notch.

You are emerging as a literary force here, by means of talent; but also by managing to be informative and entertaining while at the same time being a small island of semi-sanity in the vast sea of freaking lunacy that is Craig, Taras, Foghorn, and those other guys.

Good work, keep it up.

your Ninja Luke diptych might belong in Separated at Birth. Good stuff (but what's with the hobbyhorse? Did I miss a nickname somewhere?)

Los Caballitos gave a stick horse to El Caballo before the game and he "rode" it in the dugout after his homerun.

The hight point for me was:

Sunday – Hot Dog will win in a close race, but will promptly be disqualified when the costume is removed and Sammy Sosa is discovered inside, wrapped in cork

I just can't get enough Sammy Satire.

Thanks for the preview.

Ah, gracias, see, you can miss watershed events like that completely when you're apartment-hunting and living out of a duffel bag at your brother's place.
