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

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.

Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.

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?

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.

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.

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).

Markakis RF (24)

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!

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.

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?

by Baltimo on Aug 23, 2008 7:56 PM EDT to parent up   0 recs

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.

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.
