Phillies And Sisqo One Win Away From Another World Series Appearance
Baseball, Video October 21st. 2009, 7:30pm
The Dodgers face elimination tonight at Citizens Bank Park and they’ll be doing so with the cantankerous, head-hunting Vicente Padilla taking the hill. This is actually, and quite amazingly, an ideal scenario for Los Angeles. He’s been their best pitcher of the postseason. Seriously.
In Padilla’s last outing, other than making one mistake to Ryan Howard, he was nearly flawless.
Sure, tonight he’ll be in a vastly different environment and if things go slightly wrong, he could assault the Philly Phanatic or hijack the Hatfield Hot Dog Launcher, but you have take your chances.
Torre’s heroes should find themselves comfortable in the box tonight (had to) against Cole Hamels, who gave up eight hits and four runs over 5 1/3 innings, the shortest and weakest outing of any Philly starter thus far.
MANNY: While the Phillies walked off the other night, Manny was showering and happily humming the Smurfs theme song. Nothing new, but probably a bad omen for Phillies fans. Moonshots commonly follow a story like this one. Expect a big night from Manny.
The Phils: Does it matter if they happen to lose tonight? They’ve won in L.A. with ease.
Former Phil Greg Luzinski: His glasses alone inspired production assistants across this great nation to show up to work wearing no panties.
Pies: Between the Yankees and the Phillies, America has fallen in love with shaving cream pies. Can’t really blame ‘em.
Mound Visits: The catcher has gone to the mound roughly every third pitch in every playoff game. Please make it stop.

Is it a just hot dog launcher, or does it launch hot dogs as well?

To speak out against the Party in so open a forum was quite foolish. Do you cheer for our enemies in Eurasia? You are to be collected, brought to the Ministry of Love, thrown in room 101, and then vaporized. Please stand by for collection.

Still in shock over the breathless coverage TBL has devoted to the whole Steve Phillips nonsense today.
However, some of the comments from the thread(s) were pretty great — one in particular about him plowing a small elephant stood out, though I can’t remember who gets credit for that one.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:56 pm
They had you read 1984 (and Animal Farm) in seventh grade? That seems like a pretty large waste of time.
On the umpiring, I was listening to part of the game on the radio last night and Joe Morgan was the best Joe Morgan he’s ever been mocking the umpiring and laughing at the fans chants. It might have been the first time I’ve ever enjoyed him.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Nothing has ever, or will ever, happen that is more important than Steve Phillips fucking a 22 year botched genetic experiment multiple times.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:59 pm
Just Animal Farm…I read 1984 afterward for a book report because I liked Animal Farm so much. Do realize that I’m a huge polisci geek, even back then.

i just watched that whole video. i think i was entranced by the awesome story of sisqo beating a real live dragon with his badass moves even though he looks like he is about 5′1″ and i really like how they decided that the song was just soooo bad that they decided to showcase sisqo’s acting chops instead of showcasing the song.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:17 pm

October 21st, 2009 at 8:33 pm
any fan base that needs to wave hankys or “terrible towels”, or uses thunderstixs is an embarrassment. Their teams should be contracted.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:33 pm
Werth looked like Orel Hersheiser as a rookie, I’m guessing he looked like Kirkjian in high school.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:34 pm
I didn’t, but I’m willing to admit to liking Britney Spear’s music.
I also watched a 7th grader cry after one of my teammates threw the kid’s Hanson cd out the window on the way to team basketball camp. Laughing at that, along with 2 other incidents, would be the only 3 things I’m worried about come Judgment day if I believed in such a thing.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:35 pm
if i was 22 and not 27 then i guess it is possible that i danced to that song in middle school. but if you are saying i was a 6th year 8th grader then +1 to you and also i want to ask you how did you know?

October 21st, 2009 at 8:46 pm
its cool, GSG, i just wanted to mention the nice story about Cope. I own a Terrible towel (autographed by Steeler HOFer and Penn State star Jack Ham), but don’t wave it around or take it to games or the bar or anything.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:49 pm
its cool, GSG, i just wanted to mention the nice story about Cope
Spicious, that is the first nice thought I have ever had about either Cope or the Steelers in my life. That was a great gesture by him
October 21st, 2009 at 8:53 pm
Thoughts on how they’ll screw up the Orton/Cena Iron Man Match? Tons of potential, but I’m skeptical.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:58 pm
that is the first nice thought I have ever had about either Cope or the Steelers in my life.
He was a great writer before he became a broadcaster. check out this paragraph from his wiki page:
Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Cope graduated from Taylor Allderdice High School[7] and the University of Pittsburgh.[8] He was originally a journalist before becoming a broadcaster. His first job was in Erie, Pennsylvania, with the Daily Times,[9] and by the summer of 1951, he was working for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.[10] Cope then became a freelance journalist, most notably for Sports Illustrated,[1] the Saturday Evening Post,[9] and the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.[4] In 1963, Cope received the E.P. Dutton Prize for “Best Magazine Sportswriting in the Nation,” for a portrayal of Cassius Clay.[11] Cope spent the 1983 college football season as a color analyst for the Pittsburgh Panthers.[8] In 1987, he was named by the Hearst Corporation as a noted literary achiever, along with Mark Twain, Jack London, Frederick Remington, Walter Winchell, and Sidney Sheldon.[11] At its 50th Anniversary, Sports Illustrated selected Cope’s profile of Howard Cosell as one of the 50 best written works ever published in the magazine.[4]

he’s a nice guy … she’s v attractive (and busty). i only know one couple my age-ish (haven’t seen him since college) who got a divorce so far.

If he’s affiliated with the Steelers, I will say screw him no matter what.
Although the thing about giving away the rights to the towel was cool.

tbl: that’s hard. Being older and married longer, we know a lot of couples like that, unfortunately. The hardest part is the “sides” taken, usually female vs males. Guys can still be friends and wives still friends, but doesn’t overlap too much (the “if HE’S going to be there, I don’t wanna go” bullshit)

October 21st, 2009 at 9:37 pm
This boils down to who you think is cleaner Artie Lange or Steve Phillips (since clearly the only cock that has ever touched the genetically altered manatee was Phillips).
October 21st, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Eric Kuselias? Sounds destined for a role on All My Children.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:38 pm
Totally being sarcastic GSG – but yeah, Czaban had a field day with this today. I was rolling in my living room.
Speaking of listening to Czab–John Feinstein said that Snyder should swallow his pride and offer 25% ownership & of the Redskins and personnel control to get Belichick. He thinks he’s the only one who can turn it around.
I continued laughing…

I bet football, basketball, and baseball coaches sit around and laugh at baseball managers for thinking they have similar jobs.

It’s just shockingly unnecessary to sell TP at that base a level.

Of course I couldn’t do it as I can’t even properly relay a snarky remark about a game no one cares about.

Yeah, but Tim McCarver isn’t done yet for the season. That blows Paris Hilton amounts of dick.

Drive through New Hampshire some time. This summer, when we went to the lake, we’d pass a farm with a huge handpainted sign that said “This Obamanure is getting deep.”
I laughed the first time.

Current keeps running a bunch of hilarious video’s of chew users who are pissed at Obama. Can’t figure out where they are online though. I assume one of them is mrejr.

October 21st, 2009 at 11:08 pm
JPQ said “This is not a political statement” very specifically. Usually when somebody does that and somebody else comes in with an over the top insult as if said statement was whatever you said it wasn’t that’s a joke.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:08 pm
virginia – I do not, but looked at a couple that friends have. I’m giving large thought to that new Barnes & Noble one, though.

instead of a kindle, just subscribe to the New Yorker. You’ll never have time to read anything else again, and you’ll sleep like a baby.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:11 pm
@hawkeye – I need to do more research. My friend has raved about it, but she lives in another state so I haven’t been able to see it upclose and hold it in my hands. Like a book…

I know how to make fun of Hernia now. He comments at Deadspin, with a Mitch Albom avatar.

virginia – that’s my problem with it. I’d like to give it a once over. The B&N one will be available in stores come December.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:12 pm

Taguchi: I caught the beginning of that Paula Zahn thing Monday night. Did the camera ever get within 100 feet of her face?? They shot her from another county
October 21st, 2009 at 11:13 pm
No joke, driving home from school one weekend I saw what appeared to be a huge bedsheet on a deserted shack on the side of the highway that said OBAMA IS A N-Bomb (only nbomb was spelled out of course).
October 21st, 2009 at 11:16 pm
V4L, I’m 7 weeks behind. I can’t even read all the cartoons fast enough. I seriously haven’t picked up a book since January, when we started.
By the way, here’s another crazy, repeat horse fucker. Apparently, once you go equine….
October 21st, 2009 at 11:17 pm
i need this commenter’s name. did it have a bears lighter on it? if it did i will will track him down and give him a serious beating and then offer my hand in friendship because he is smart enough to recognize a awesome avatar
October 21st, 2009 at 11:17 pm
That Mitch Albom pic belongs on a billboard in Times Square. Or framed in the background of every porn ever made.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:18 pm

I would have gone with “True story.”

don’t ever subscribe to the economist, then. i don’t even work right now and have trouble getting through only the parts that interest me. i do manage to read the new yorker for the most part.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:19 pm
please, UK burned Obama in effigy. They dont fuck around in Kentucky. Mrejr can attest to this.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:20 pm
@dirt – I actually cancelled the subscription once because I was like “fuck it–I just can’t keep up.” It lasted one month. I love that magazine. I just realize I will never be “caught up” and take my time.
Cartoons always get read first though. And Shouts and Murmurs.
October 21st, 2009 at 11:20 pm
A major character and plot point of William Faulkner’s The Hamlet is a slightly retarded man who deeply loves a cow he fucks. At first his friends charge people money to watch him fuck the cow (which he is unaware of) and later they kill the cow and make him eat it.

my kin down there are definitley backwoods which is weird considering that my uncle makes good money working at the coalmine. but they might be democrats as far as i know. the reason why i like them so much is because we dont talk politics when they come up

I don’t know if anybody here reads Mark Helprin, but in a Soldier of the Great War, the protagonist enlists the aid of the town’s horse fucker (who actually aspires to screw a hippopotamus as his life goal) to bang some enormous elephant seal lady, to advance the plot in some way.

I’ll leave the Blake Lively’s and her type to TBL and you younger guys. A little bit older woman is WAAAYYY better than some insecure airhead who wants to know if she looks fat after eating a piece of melba toast. Older women know how to bring da ruckus

I just had to read Thomas Pynchon’s V in four days and that was at least 800 pages. I’m sure I can burrow into Mark if only to get to the fat sea lady fucking.
