Damn you

I wanted to be first. But instead I’m going to see Hancock with the lil lady. I leave you fine people with today’s gem from craigslist missed connections:

Infamous western hills station wagon – m4m – 20 (West Side)
Ok, if any of you live around western hills or ever hang out up there you will probably see me… at least once a night… Im the dude with the station wagon looks like a limo… lit up like a fuckin christmas tree. If any of you are interested, let me know… maybe we can meet or hang out. Really on here cuz I see alot of goodlookin guys up there all the time. Let me know.

I understand that he didn’t write it, but I would LOVE to see his face if/when someone approaches him.

Speaking of the summer superhero movies\

Heath Ledger absolutely went out with a bang with his amazing performance in The Dark Knight. Although its overlong and some of the non-joker sequences and plot points drag a bit, I thought it was better than Batman Begins in every way. But of course its my opinion, so take it with a grain of salt

don't you know that putting false information on Wikipedia

is part of the decline of human civilization, why we are all dumber now than we were 50 years ago blah blah blah?

Just kidding…well played, brother. And hey, at least you didn’t invent an entire war, replete with maps and images.

that guy really took that pretty far.

well played by whoever entered that rimjobs comment.

So which one of us is TheDecline19?

But I like this actual quote from the article, too:
“Instead of calling up Patterson to regain his role as starting center fielder, the Cubs activated three disabled players and started Jose Macias in center”

yeah…that’s a bad sign for your future career.

lets go Reds

this is sort of a big series, and Maine seems like the sort of pitcher the Reds tend to beat the stuffing out of. I’m hoping for a good night.

...because there's already someone posing as Jacob Brumfield

by Cy Schourek on Jul 18, 2008 6:58 PM EDT   0 recs

and plus

the Mets have a lineup with Marlon Anderson, Damion Easley, and Fernando Tatis. This is too easy.

Query...

Why is Jay Bruce leading off? Isn’t there anyone better suited?

Oh yeah. Bruce is playing CF.

Hey Dusty...Are you sure you're OK? You might need an MRI.

Lets hope it doesn’t get to that point…

crolfer, you are ignorant

And God bless you Cy Schourek for linking to that. One of my favorite songs of the last five years. And a much better use of Corey Hart than that Miley Cyrus song.

Who said that Maine is a pitcher that we should do well against?

6 outs, 3 K’s, from Griffey, Dunn, and Votto. Yuck.

by Brendanukkah on Jul 18, 2008 7:39 PM EDT   0 recs

that would be me

last year he had 2 starts against the Reds, with 7.2 IP and a 10.57 ERA. So I’m not completely making this shit up.

But, for the most part, I’m making this shit up.

On something wildly off topic

Have you heard of the Dirtbombs?

negative, ghostrider

but if it’s hyphy, odds are that I like.

No, not hyphy (but that would be sweet)

R&B, soul tinged loud garage rock. They’re fucking sweet. They’re playing DC next Friday (opening for Spiritualized), and I have an extra ticket. I need someone to go with me.

let me do some youtubing and hypem'ing

and get back to you. It’s summer, so I dont know what I’ll be doing even 10 minutes from now, let alone next Friday, but we can keep in touch.

I don't know that I'd actually be able to name...

A category of pitcher that the Reds do well against.

Lefties? Nope.
Righties? Nope.
Rookies? Nope.
Crafty veterans? Nope.
Journeymen? Nope.
Tomo Ohka? Nope.
