[12] & [14] Saying college football is huge in the South is like saying Mariano Rivera has a good cutter…you can’t fully understand it until you see it first hand. To be honest, I wish folks down here would tone it down a little when it comes to the “rivalry” thing. It has gotten WAY out of hand…

[12] Yeah, huge in the South, pretty much an afterthought in the Northeast. College hoops is another story.

this is one of those games that sticks in the craw of the loony amongst us.
i went to bed annoyed and woke up annoyed.
let’s hope the rain cooperates and hughes salvages a series loss rather than a bloody sweep.

It’s big down south I understand with all the longstanding rivalries and sentiments, but yes you can really blame their and NASCAR overexposure on E@#$.

And as far as I’m concerned, it doesn’t require much athleticism to race a car, drive or putt a golf ball, sink a bank shot in a corner pocket or bluff a competitor and wipe them with a full house. Those are skill-dependent games (or competitions if you will), but E@#$ has a strong tendency to hype those players as athletes and lots of people buy that crap. *shrug*

[10] Yes. It’s football, which seems to have somehow gotten the mortgage on ESPN’s soul.

[7] New hound? Do tell. Just got a stroller for Sparky, who has one front leg, which has a steel rod in it, and now has arthritis.

Wrong time to serve up stinkers to a bad team.

[9] No problem, we’re still on track for the division title! I believe!

Btw..is college football really so big in the US that the main picture on ESPN is of some dude from Texas Christian University? I mean..what the hell is that?? Never even heard of this school, are they good at football?? There’s a pennant race going on and their main pics are college football and fantasy NFL..maybe I need to stop going there, but do like reading Keith Law and the SweetSpot blog..

[6] Yes, when I think back over the game, it’s those earlier moments that are more irritating. First and third with nobody out, in particular. Eduardo Scissorhands preferring not to run because the ball was once in foul territory.

Now I’ve ruined my morning.

[0] I had to read the recap 3 times. Coco Crisp? For the love of Mo! I think I am going to be sick. I blame Arod. ; )

I went outside to show the new hound his first backyard fire. It was top 8 and CC had a 2-1 lead. I said to myself, “If they lose this one I don’t want to see it.” Yet I am still FUCKING pissed. What the fuck happened! Big can of Bollocks!

Also, I guess I picked the right time to leave and go to dinner: after the 9th.

Though, frankly, the game had been plenty irritating already, what with the squandered opportunities …

I have no idea if skipping the All Star Game helped him achieve this turn-around, but I won’t make a stink if he chooses not to go next time.

He went down to Tampa over the break and spent some time working with Gary Denbo.

[1] the yanks are 2-10 against boston. if they lose the division by a game or two, let’s start there first, and then turn to these crappy shoulda, coulda woulda losses.

As William would say:
This game was UNACCEPTABLE!

If we lose the Division by a game or 2, we will have to look back to these last 2 games.

Terrible. 2 HRs to Cereal????
