I'm Dancing in the Show Tonight
Are my ribbons tied? Is my hair in place?
Have I got a cute expression on my face?
Are my shoes all shined?
I try to keep in line when Im dancing in the show tonight
Does my shuffle step really look so good?
Am I doing it the way you think I should?
Would it be amiss if I blew a kiss
When I’m dancing in the show tonight?
Showtime now is getting nearer and Im getting scared
Wish I could see in the mirror if Im all prepared
First you take a step then you point your toe
Hope I know it like I did a week ago
Am I standing straight?
I can hardly wait till Im dancing in the show tonight

crap, i'm going to miss this game
Thanks goes out to Carl Pavano and Jason Schmidt for not taking our money.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
i'll be very upset if we lose this game.
or, if we don’t at least crush pavano.
Maybe Mora can line drive one off his skull again.

Is anyone watching the Ray-White Sox?
Well it’s over now. I’ve been watching for awhile and every time I watch a Fox game of the week I can’t believe how much I hate the announcers. Did you know that when the Rays started this season well EVERYONE in baseball thought they were a “novelty act” and that they’d be back to their losing ways in no time?
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
red sox blasted, Rays win
I caught the last three innings. It’s a good start to an evening of baseball. Hopefully the O’s can win.
I will not be surprised if Pavano mystifies the O’s. Kind of like how they always seem to suck against a call up pitcher. ESPN will subsequently headline with the story.
wait
What was the novelty of the Rays?

I didn’t see the game last night so don’t know how close it is.
Last night I went to the state fair! We saw cows and baby pigs and a llama and carnies.

I went to the game last night
Some guy said that they were 25k away, so it should have gone down a little while ago; I just tuned in, though, so I am not sure if they announced who won yet.

Ramon Hernandez is a fucking moron
I’m sorry. I cannot stand him anymore, he had to rise for the ball but he had ample time and couldn’t hold on to it. The things that he says and does are just ridiculous.

I cannot think of a better comparison. Both of them had career years when their money was on the line and then completely tailed in Baltimore. Hopefully Hernandez can get half as much as Javy did for us (Adam Stern).

I believe that we are rebuilding
But why do I watch this team everyday? We are a few days away from the dawn of September and the Orioles are sporting:
Roberts 2B (30)
Markakis RF (24)
Mora 3B (36)
Huff DH (31)
Hernandez C (32)
Scott LF (30)
Millar 1B (37)
Payton CF (35)
Castro SS (36)

dude
five of top six there are part of a playoff team.
get a good catcher / 1b and a SS that can hit 9-hole and you’re right there.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Get a good catcher
First baseman, shortstop, three starting pitchers, an extra arm in the pen and a long man and we would be able to contend for a full year and a half!
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
Realistically this team is at least
four to five players away from contending for the wild card. The problem is that we would end up like the 2007-2008 Seattle Mariners which is the worst possible place to be.

yeah. it could defininitely go either way.
but seattle tried to do it on the cheap. you gotta lay out the dough for the blue chips.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
3 starters and 2 relievers
and a C and a SS. Then we’re right there!

Lions
This sums it up:
Coach Rod Marinelli wanted to sign free agent Takeo Spikes to play strong-side linebacker. Spikes visited Detroit, the Lions put an offer on the table and Spikes signed with San Francisco.
So now what? The Lions have been trying to upgrade linebacker for months. They tried to trade for Jonathan Vilma, but the Jets traded him to the Saints instead. They kicked the tires on free agents Al Wilson and Dan Morgan, but didn’t sign them. They targeted Jerod Mayo in the draft, but New England nabbed him first and they settled for Jordon Dizon.

I haven't
I like the Blackhawks and Pacers.
Basically God created me to never see a team get past “pretty good,” and with the ‘Hawks, O’s and Lions, I am subject to yearly futility. Isiah Thomas also doesn’t get enough credit for fucking up the Pacers.

How in the world
Did you pick those teams; it’s like you intentionally picked poorly run organizations. If I remember correctly you mentioned something about choosing them at random when you were a kid or something?
My best game plan is to sit on the bench and call out specific instructions like 'C'mon Boog,' 'Get ahold of one, Frank,' or 'Let's go, Brooks.' -Earl Weaver
not quite
My family had no baseball fans but I fell in love with the sport and picked the O’s because of Cal and Tettleton and other peoples baseball cards I liked, more or less. And box scores in the papers were how I followed because I liked numbers more than most kids.
The Blackhawks are closer to me than the Red Wings, plus by the time I got into hockey the Wings had all those commies and the ’Hawks had Jeremy Roenick and drunk ass Eddie Belfour and Chris Chelios and were all-around a cool, cool bunch of guys. Steve Larmer! Sissy Michel Goulet! He was old by then.
The Lions were the in-state team and had Barry and Spielman (even though the chump went to Ohio State, which I didn’t quite understand until later) and I just didn’t take to the Bears. The Pacers had Reggie Miller and I liked his shooting motion a lot. Also the point guard’s name at the time was Pooh, so ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Where I live isn’t a state and it’s not CLOSE to any major sports cities. So I picked my teams on the players I liked best. They’re all regional except the O’s, but I also had no family influence whatsoever for baseball. The Cubs were always on TV, but so what, so were the Braves. The Tigers were on PASS Sports back then, which was a pay channel like Showtime or HBO but for Detroit sports. Those weren’t the days.
Anyway, that’s the story.

There’s that.

Yes
We are in the midst of our 11th straight losing season and currently have one player under 31 in the starting lineup. For some reason I feel surprisingly depressed today.

Luke, BRob, Nick, and Guts is also under 31.
There would be 4 if AJ hadn’t broken his foot.

Trembley
Why has he not gotten himself thrown out of this one already??? Dude needs to stand up for his team more. Matter fact, has he ever been thrown out of a game? Show some fire, I don’t care if this team is going nowhere.
He’s got plenty of respect from the players and he argues a lot of calls. Way more than Mazzilli and Perlozzo did, though Mazzilli did chuck bubble gum all over the place once.

I love the guy, and i know the players are bought in. I just wish he’d lose his poo every know and then. Don’t know where I was for the above photo, but that’s what I’m talkin’ about!
DT shows respect for the umps
By talking to them between innings. Say what you want about if that’s the way to go or not, but I’d venture to say that it’s more effective in actually getting the umpires to think about what you’re saying than tossing bubblegum around.

I suppose Guts is allowed an off day every now and then
But I wish it wasn’t against this team.
I’m so glad to have Gary back
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Yeah, Gary is very necessary.

Gary's less fun at the LLWS
I don’t think they allow booze in the booth at Williamsport.

I like his home run call
I feel like a lot of commentators don’t give it the excitement that Thorne does.

ok
I’m pretty sure Velma Green does not use Camden Chat.

that suspended game against the White Sox...
We had Jones in CF and Fahey at SS
How will that work? Payton had already pinch-hit.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Montanez in CF
Castro at SS

and they weren't even on the roster then!
This whole idea offends me.
Also if that is how it works, then we get Bernie Castro and Lou Montanez and they can put in Ken Griffey, Jr.
Fuck.

I just imagined a brawl with Carl Pavano throwing punches. They’d have to scrape the dude up and freeze his body parts in hopes of reassembling him.

eh
I kind of like not making a big deal of it. It probably ends there, and we all know what’s going on.

Jim Palmer also loves Velma
she gave him an opportunity to talk about himself.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
Palmer's a blast
“Hey, can I use your tickets?” Ha ha! It’s all jokes.
Now Palmer will actually call her up sometime next season to cash in on the promise.
"Yesterday I was lying, today I am telling the truth." -- Bob Arum
Velma lives in Capitol Heights and works in Fairfax County? She will probably hate those season tickets she has to pay taxes on and that she uses twice a year.
[Guthrie's] president of my heart. ~PhilR8
She can sell the Red Sox and Yankees tickets to her neighbors
and use that to pay the taxes.

I want to see a HR derby
With Luis Hernandez, Juan Castro and Brandon Fahey. In the Astrodome.

And they had fences brought way in? They could use that set-up if it was still a three-way tie after five rounds.

I have a question
Is it pronounced ex-avier, or is it pronounced zavier? I really don’t know. Gary doesn’t know how to pronounce things, but I honestly don’t know.

ex-avier in his case

Ex-avier, and I’d trust their pronunciation.
