Throws go to the cutoff man. Or straight to the plate in time to get the runner.

The Red Sox choke job was entertaining.   Especially after reading stuff like this to start the year.

You know I never take guests. You can mix and mingle with the other assholes in the area. Such as the 200 Cardinals fans and the lone fucking Cub fan that were in my section last night. Buncha fucking cocksucking front runners down there. I'm a little bitter today.

That there was no scapegoat (just finished watching Catching Hell) for the BoSux collapse.  They fell apart and collectively choked as a team.  They know it.  Their fans know it.  There was no Bartman, Buckner, or goat of any kind.  Stick that in your clam chowduh and chew on it for six months, assholes.

1. were  not the bo sox

Here's the Guardian's take on the greatest sporting comebacks of all time.  It does include the Bo Sox finally reversing the curse and [WARNING] some "football" game involving the Buffalo Bills and ... erm ... Tennessee Titans.

Also, anything that mentions French prima donna David Ginola is fun, as it reminds me that his name is an anagram of "Vagina Dildo".

Also, Botham's Ashes was awesome!

I fished a lot this summer, and my cast is the best it's ever been.  I caught a 30" redfish, and Kris dropped her camera in the bay, so in six weeks the redfish can grow three inches.

The guy in the commercial says he speaks Japaneses with his parents.  What part of the body is the parents?  Is that maybe a Japanese term?
