No Need to Fake the Funk, So Say it Loud, Say it Proud: Clint Hurdle Hates the Dodgers
Baseball September 3rd. 2008, 6:00pm
You can thank Intern Bill, who must read more baseball sites than anyone outside of Buster Olney (unrelated: Terrific Olney interview here) for this gem:
“I just hate the Dodgers. I love to see them lose,” Hurdle said. “It’s nothing personal with anyone there. You know how some people love the Yankees? I choose to hate the Dodgers.”
There are few things we enjoy more than candor among athletes and coaches – Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Nerds, and 90210 high school reruns on Soapnet, to name a few – and that quote is priceless. It’s getting printed out and plastered right next to these two: “This is Rickey calling on behalf of Rickey. Rickey wants to play baseball” and “I don’t believe in anything. I’m just here for the violence.”

Ahhh yes, I remember when Clint Hurdle was a phenom… oh wait no I don’t, I guess the SI jinx got him good.
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:14 pm
Cinnimon Toast Crunch is the tits. I have yet to get tired of it during my 22 years of life.
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:29 pm
Cinnamon Toast Crunch is great. In fact I’m eating it for supper tonight. But don;t say Intern Bill reads baseball sites ever again. Maybe murraychass.com
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:41 pm
Well done fetch. But you stole my avatar you sneaky bastard. I changed it a couple days ago, why the fuck hasn’t it changed yet?!?
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:46 pm
Why does TBL keep pushing Intern Bill? Me thinks Intern Bill has some undercover lifting video that shows that TBL can only curl 40 pounds.
September 3rd, 2008 at 6:48 pm
david silver rocking out at the spring dance on 90210 right now!!!!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:01 pm
I dunno Buckner, usually it takes mine awhile to change too, but this one did right away. Gravatar is an odd duck.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:38 pm
@Bill Buckner. In my 20 something years of life, I have gotten extremely tired of people saying something is the tits. Just say it’s sweet, money, cool…anything but the tits brah.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:53 pm
Yanks lead 2-1
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:55 pm
A-Rod RBI single (stretched to a double), 3-1 Yanks.
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:58 pm
Giambi RBI double off the wall: 4-1 Yanks
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:02 pm
Matsui broken bat RBI single: 5-1 Yanks.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:05 pm
TBL, i read your site religiously, and i’ve never heard you say you’re a Yankees fan but you always seem to follow along and post the score. Did i miss something?
@rs27: thats hilarious
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:19 pm
Fuck the Yankees.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:23 pm
How the hell do you hit a leadoff triple and then not drive the guy in?
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:28 pm
Hurdle should get together with that guy on YouTube who just hates Tennessee and have a beer.

September 3rd, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Anybody going to watch any of the Venus-Serena match just about to start on USA?
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:38 pm
What, Joba is starting next year in the bullpen? Do the Yankees want to lose?
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:39 pm
And yeah Chelsea I probably will, although I’m not much for womens tennis.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:43 pm
benji – yanks fan. you may have missed it.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:08 pm
In the Red Sox’ next home game, they will pass the Cleveland Indians’ record for most consecutive sellouts dating back to 2003. Worth a mention.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:14 pm
Who is this “we” you speak of pale-face?
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Angels intentionally walk Cabrera in the 4th inning. What a pussy move.
Venus – yes
Serena – never
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:22 pm
Venus – yes
Serena – never
Venus, yes as long as nobody finds out
Serena, yes in 2002
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:28 pm
The real Cinnamon Toast Cruch is great, but not that whole wheat healthy crap.
The Williams sisters got a little too much of that Patrick Ewing/gorilla look for my taste.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:41 pm
i just had the biggest debacle of a fantasy draft, ever. 3-4 people couldn’t get the lame program to load, weren’t happy with their autopicks, and thus we’re DOING IT OVER. lame.
September 3rd, 2008 at 9:49 pm
Fucking Angels just intentionally walked Cabrera again…in the 5th inning this time. Talk about lame.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:15 pm
did you ever read my review of our league? you were on vacation, so i was not sure if you saw it.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:16 pm
question was directed towards TBL.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:16 pm
Is anyone watching the Repub convention, a room full of white people chanting “drill baby drill”, fucking hilarious.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:35 pm
a Republican convention full of white people? no way!
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:42 pm
God, Palin is fucking awful but this crowd is eating her speech up. It’s true, Republicans love America like a 4 year old loves his mommy. If anyone criticizes mommy, they’re a bad, bad person.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:44 pm
I just went to imdb, and it’s true. Sarah Palin did in fact play Miss Davis in Varsity Blues.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Wait. Republicans are cheering Palin?
Did the Democrats cheer Obama?
Holy fuck. I never would have guessed it.
Go Cavs.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Fuck the Twins. I’m done with that team. I hope they all get detained by customs on the way back from Canada and thrown in jail forever.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Flippant and completely lacking in gravitas. She sounds like a talk radio host not the VP. McCain couldn’t have made a worse choice.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:56 pm
Rush Limbaugh should have been McCain’s running mate.
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Lebron > Obama
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:57 pm
Times infinity
September 3rd, 2008 at 10:59 pm
How dare the press run stories about a VP selection who no one has ever heard of. How dare the press do the one job that they have failed to do under Bush. How dare they print stories about her.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:02 pm
The press failed to print stories about Bush?
I’m all for debate and disagreement and the like…but come the fuck on, Hef. That is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever read on the internet. And I’ve spent entirely too much time on the internet.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:02 pm
this speech is pretty weak.
i just saw that obama is going to be on the o’reilly factor tomorrow? on the day of mccain’s speech? Obama has some balls, that’s for sure.
i have a relative who is one of the chosen college students that will be having lunch with obama tomorrow.
if you could ban a book, like Sarah Palin did, what would you want banned?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:03 pm
The Bible.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:03 pm
She has said nothing, less than nothing. Flippant is a good description, youre running for VP, not the View.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:04 pm
ps – Yanks 8, Rays 4
just sayin’ …
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:04 pm
I’m sorry, did you watch the news during the lead up to the Iraq War? There was nothing short of full on support. Every claim was accepted as fact, even by the New York Times. Easily one of the most embarrassing moments in the history of the American Press. I’ll accept your written apology at your earliest convenience.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:06 pm
Lancaster Ohio reference… that’s between Ohio University and The Ohio State University, whho happen to be playing this week! Coincidence?? Oh yeah, and like Beanie Wells I’ll be on the sidelines!
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:07 pm
The Bible.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:07 pm
I don’t understand why she is McCain’s VP choice. Any Republicans in the house wanna shed some light on that?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:07 pm
Hef +1
Makin it rain on that dude.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:13 pm
There are three babes I wanna rail on the stage.. the other one was too fat for me.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:13 pm
I’ll say this for McCain…it takes a lot to make Bob Dole look young, but he does it.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:13 pm
LongLiveRiver +1
Makin in rait on that dude.
@cursed: My dad works in Lancaster. tOSU > OU
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:15 pm
Not cool Nick P, you know I don’t have a dad. Elitist.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:15 pm
TBL, A Rod stepped it up tonight? you’re not one of those dilusional A Rod hating Yankees fans, are you?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:16 pm
Very interesting to see that MSNBC didn’t like the speech, but Bill and Mort liked it on Fox News. You rarely see that type of division.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:18 pm
Chris Matthews is raving over the speech. What are you talking about?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:18 pm
@cursed: Well…I don’t have my own TCBHOERAS2K8 – so maybe you’re the elitist.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:18 pm
They just showed a clip on the Daily Show of Sarah Palin telling some other female candidate that if someone is criticizing her don’t take it as sexism, just prove yourself as a candidate, yet the McCain/Palin camp screams sexism to anyone who criticizes her.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:19 pm
Hef, it’s a joke, I can’t afford cable.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:20 pm
You poor bastard.
/poor as in you don’t have money, not the “I feel sorry for you kind of poor”
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:20 pm
“I loved the speech, it just shows she has what it takes to be the Vp of the United States.”
What? Read a prepared speech? Anyone see my best man speech last month in Cleveland? I wrote that shit myself!
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:22 pm
Yeah Hef, CursedCleveland.com isn’t paying the bills these days.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 pm
Chris Wallace: Britt, it may have been speech, but it was one heck of a speech!”
Britt: ” We all thought so up here.”
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:23 pm
I don’t see how that’s possible, cursed. You post at least once every three months. How does that not bring in the readers?
/mind: blown
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:24 pm
BTW, the dodgers are losing because they’re ghey.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Hef, you can’t rush typos, poor grammar and poorly crafted jokes.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:26 pm
Touche, cursed. I stand admonished.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:27 pm
Cursed = CRM?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:34 pm
Fox News has already called this roll call for John Mccain. Haven’t we learned?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:35 pm
Lebron > McCain
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:37 pm
So we’re cherry picking now? The press loved Bush after 9/11 and in Afghanistan, too. What about, you know, the other 6 years of the Bush admin? 99% anti-Bush. It’s funny, the press seems to follow the public.
I’m not hear to step on a soap box, because I’m not at all into this stuff. I don’t really care who gets elected. I’m just pointing out a dumb comment.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:41 pm
And I pointed out how dumb yours was in return. Are we even? Or did I take the lead? Who’s keeping score, anyway?
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:49 pm
I won, because you were more wrong. 6 years is better than 2.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:53 pm
But let’s face it, the media is a whore for sales and ratings. They report on what the public wants it to. America heard Palin and said “Who?”. Now we’re getting to find out. If people start to like Palin, you’ll see a bunch of fluff about her rise to power and her family. If they don’t, you’ll see a lot more about trooper gate and the bridge to nowhere.
It’s why the media effing sucks and the public internet is on fire.
September 3rd, 2008 at 11:56 pm
To get back to the theme of this post: TBL, I will never ever thank Intern Bill for anything.
September 4th, 2008 at 12:00 am
Clint Hurdle’s black and he’s proud? I don’t get it.
September 4th, 2008 at 12:39 am
The fuck is a Clint Hurdle?
