PM Roundup: First Pitch Edition
Uncategorized March 31st. 2008, 2:40pm
While the first pitches are being thrown, we thought we would take a moment to admire Sarah Chalke…Ah, Sarah Chalke, what’s not to love? Especially, now that we know what kind of underwear she wears…Maybe it’s the goofiness of her characters that makes us think that we could even get into the batter’s box with her…she could even make this look good.
Johan Santana throws too many change-ups. No wonder he’s had a terrible career. (Shea Nation)

Good pic choice, Derrick, even though her “Scrubs” character is unbearably obnoxious (which is about par for the course from what I’ve seen of that show)
March 31st, 2008 at 2:44 pm
she looks good, every now and then she looks a little weird on scrubs, but thats not a bad thing.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:44 pm
first TBL gives ass-clown of the year on this site BIg Nuts a post, and now this guy who clearly cant pick out talent for the Roundup pics
ive got to go
March 31st, 2008 at 2:45 pm
Scrubs might be the worst “comedy” to ever be aired on television.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:46 pm
I am confused, so the posts that said TBL were just canned posts that were put up, not put up by him and put up by RotoNation or am I just completely off?
March 31st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
CBH, maybe TBL wrote them and posted them at a later time. I’m not really sure though.
Does anyone else think its funny that the womens NCAA final four is a “epicenter” for lesbians? For some reasons, this suprises me.

Maybe it’s the goofiness of her characters that makes us think that we could even get into the batter’s box with her
Hey, if she can fall for Zach Braff (on television), then she could fall for anyone. His character has to be king of the sensitive-guy douchebags.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:48 pm
Be careful, Lozo will come looking for you.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:51 pm
Just saw that the NFL opening weekend primetime schedule is out.
The Patriots go from 40 seconds from perfection to snubbed on Week 1. Interesting.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:52 pm
@cbh, @benji – TBL couldn’t abandon the site completely. He left a few things in the queue to post.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:54 pm
Jay, I was surprised by those match-ups. I don’t know about you, but Raiders/Broncos is not my idea of a great Week 1 primetime game.
No Patriots, no Cowboys, not Chargers. Very interesting indeed.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:55 pm
does anyone really wanna see the bears get smoked by the colts again?
i swear to god, if the browns dont get a nationally televised game, im gonna write a letter.
March 31st, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Vikings/Packers is decent, as is Skins/Giants, but I still fail to understand TV executives fascination with the Raiders and the Bears.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:00 pm
What are these “Patriots” that you speak of?
/New Englander no longer on bandwagon
March 31st, 2008 at 3:00 pm
Let me add the Broncos to that, they are on national TV a ton.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:01 pm
The Raiders get a lot of primetime games because they can’t play in the same time slot as the 49ers. So if they’re both at home (or on the West Coast) the same weekend, one of them has to move to primetime.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:01 pm
can’t the NFL talk wait? Its opening day. Lets talk baseball and how weak rain delays are.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:03 pm
Maybe if JaMarcus Russell is starting for the Silver & Black, and they draft McFadden, then I get get up for a little Raiders/Broncos.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:04 pm
lesbians at the women’s final four. i’m shocked!
March 31st, 2008 at 3:05 pm
Man, now thats how to open a season. I love the MNF doubleheader. Its baseballs opening day but all I want is some football.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:06 pm
im a lesbian.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:10 pm
Do you guys not remember when TBL went on vacation?
March 31st, 2008 at 3:11 pm
And Sarah Chalke and Hayden are pretty good talent. irish, you crazy, boy.

I need to google Courtney Cummz tonight, and thought our Tampa area readers might be interested.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:12 pm
CRM- if i wanted to see this chicks, i would go to the NBC and CBS websites
March 31st, 2008 at 3:13 pm
and find more revealing pictures
March 31st, 2008 at 3:16 pm
i wanna get into porn, talk about the best job ever. i dunno if i could deal with the genital warts tho.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:17 pm
@cbh-gotta love the name Courtney Cummz. Saw that in the paper this weekend.
Girls gone wild was just down, but at the local bar they couldnt do nudity so they left.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:19 pm
Absolutely fascinating article in the LA Times a while back about the creep who runs Girls Gone Wild. Must-read.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:20 pm
irishmafia – Fair enough. As long as you weren’t implying that the ladies themselves were subpar. Not every photo can be our girl Gemma in her underpants.*
*The word “Underpants” – Making things seem less sexy since 1734
March 31st, 2008 at 3:21 pm
CRM- LOL
March 31st, 2008 at 3:22 pm
@CRM- we share a mutual love for UK biscuits with our afternoon coffee
March 31st, 2008 at 3:26 pm
I’m an NFL over baseball guy, but you think that they could have waited to make the announcement on some day other than opening day. I mean, would it have been a big problem if they would have waited until Wednesday or Thursday?
March 31st, 2008 at 3:29 pm
Scrubs is a great show. F the haters.
I encourage everyone to check out Chalke’s appearance on the internet TV show “The ‘Bu.” It’s hilarious.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:30 pm
Mike…i read half of that, he’s a sleazeball, thats fo sho. still, the whole extortion thing was pretty nasty.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:34 pm
@Nick – The Lonely Island does great work. Have you seen Hot Rod?
Chalke also appears to be the titular *snickers* character in How I Met Your Mother.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:39 pm
Cuz, I totally watched that episode of How I Met Your mother. She was looking terrific. I kept watiting for her to show her boobs (a la Scrubs).
March 31st, 2008 at 3:41 pm
@gonzo – God damn Ted Philsby – my girlfriend kept going “awwww” during the 2-minute date. I’d much rather she enjoy Barney’s wooing habits.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:41 pm
@CRM: Yes, I’ve seen Hot Rod. It’s really stupid and of course hilarious. Have you seen “Awesometown,” the Lonely Island’s failed Fox pilot? The Lonely Island is the only redeeming quality of SNL these days, unfortunately.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:44 pm
@Nick – Totally agree. I went into Hot Rod with no expectations and laughed my ass off at its retardation. I love that movie.
“Sullivan you chode! Don’t I owe you a shot in the nuts!?”
March 31st, 2008 at 3:45 pm
Sarah Chalke is super-hot.
That is all.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:46 pm
“I said you look shitty”
March 31st, 2008 at 3:46 pm
“she only dates guys with mustaches.”
Then he showed up the next week looking like a bad Tom Selleck. 2nd time I’ve watched that show. And I will DVR it now, since it comes on during Raw.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:47 pm
AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…
sorry, just super giddy. Tribe is rollin.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:48 pm
Gonzo, I asked in the hockey post but did you see WrestleMania last night, what did you think? I thought it was very good to excellent.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:50 pm
Joe Francis, class A douche bag. With way too much money.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I’ve heard that since How I Met Your Mother still hasn’t been renewed, Chalke is like their contingency plan: if they don’t get renewed and this is the last season, they’ll probably make her the “Mother” of the title; if they get renewed for further seasons, she probably won’t be.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:54 pm
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT VICTOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:56 pm
CBH, (sorry I have been away from my desk alot today). I thought it was tremendous! the Rick Flair fight was definitly the highlight. I shed a tear for him. I never liked Shawn Michaels that much, but his acting last night deserved an Oscar.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:57 pm
I would love to play hide the saltine with Dr. Reid.
Well done, Derrick.
March 31st, 2008 at 3:58 pm
Agreed Gonzo, Edge/Taker started slow but by the end was great, the triple threat was very good, Money in the Bank was awesome, I see people ripping the show and I am wondering what they watched. Even Mayweather/Show was good.
Spencer, what happened, I thought you would be happy, checked the scores and saw Indians up 7-2
March 31st, 2008 at 4:01 pm
CBH, your synopsis is spot on for every fight. Although I wish Ross and King would do every fight. those Smackdown guys are awful.
Although Big Show did everything he could to NOT hurt Mayweather. that bothered me, but near the end, Money put up a fight and ended it nicely. Those big bouncers in his entourage were clearly wrestlers (that’s why they took all of the beatings). they weren’t there any of the other times Money was on Raw.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:02 pm
@spencer: What happened to Martinez?
March 31st, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Ben…no idea. i wish he’d take CC with him.
who has Thome in the TBL fantasy league?
March 31st, 2008 at 4:03 pm
Gonzo, he did step on him with both his legs and his entire body weight, there was no way that didn’t hurt Mayweather, but I get what you’re saying.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:05 pm
oh, sorry, i know it’s really vague. Victor was trying to take 2nd on a passed ball and while he was sliding, he pulled up lame. im only listening on the radio so i have no idea what really happened.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:07 pm
The O’s “ace” Jeremy Guthrie has given up 4 runs and it is only the top of the 4th.

March 31st, 2008 at 4:09 pm
@spencer: Dirty Sanchez has Martinez. I think that’s sundevil?
March 31st, 2008 at 4:10 pm
i thought that was just Dirty Sanchez himself.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:11 pm
I have Victor Martinez, what the hell happened?
March 31st, 2008 at 4:12 pm
sounds like a hamstring injury. the indians radio guys sounded like it was catastrophic, like he was barbaro and needs to be put down.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Spenc, Martinez was running to second and started to slide (feet first) then just sort of rolled into the bag in pain. He walked off, looked a little awkward on replay but not terrible. Who knows though, baseballs players miss 2 months with an ingrown hair.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Thome with 2 homers, yesssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
March 31st, 2008 at 4:20 pm
And grabbed that back of his leg when down, so hopefully just a hammy and not a knee.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:21 pm
coop…good lookin out. phew, big load of my titties.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:26 pm
what is this sarah chalke bullshit? who is this clown, and what’s he doing messing with my lady?
March 31st, 2008 at 4:30 pm
Had Thome and his two dongs benched. My lineup is just too sick that I had to sit Thome vs. tough lefties. Fucking CC.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:54 pm
I told you.
March 31st, 2008 at 4:55 pm
Sarah Chalke is totally cute. and Jim Thome is on fire.
March 31st, 2008 at 5:25 pm
Indians 7, White Sox 7. Top 7th.
March 31st, 2008 at 5:57 pm
if anyone is watching the White Sox/Indians, I’m pretty sure the umpires are winning…
March 31st, 2008 at 6:11 pm
go brewers!!!!!
March 31st, 2008 at 6:18 pm
Man, Kerry Wood might not need to end up on the DL, he might be in the minors instead.
March 31st, 2008 at 6:21 pm
shit, i forgot we would have Gagne in the 9th!!!
