Yardwork: Jake Peavy is Still Good – even without poop on his hand
Baseball June 13th. 2008, 10:00amPadres 9, Dodgers 0: Peavy made his return from the DL and pitched six scoreless innings, striking out four in the process. He also got some support from Adrian Gonzalez, who homered and upped his RBI total to 58.
Diamondbacks 5, Mets 4: Billy Wagner has done it again, and by “it” I mean he blew his 5th save of the year – after a seven-inning , 10K showing from Johan Santana. It’s Wagner’s third straight blown save. Amazingly, he still has a 2.33 ERA.
Indians 12, Twins 2: Ben Francisco had four hits and three RBI, and Shin-Soo Choo had two hits and three RBI off the ghost of Frank Viola. I really miss the 80s. Sorry.
Giants 10, Rockies 7: Fred Lewis had a homer and three RBI and 87-year-old Rich Aurilia (old joke… bet he watches Matlock and eats dinner at 4:30 too) had two hits and three RBI to inch the Giants a little closer to respectability. At 30-37, they’re six games back of first-place Arizona. Unrelated: When I hear the name Fred Lewis, I’m reminded of NBC Nightly News’ Pentagon reporter Fred Francis. See, they both have the same first name, “Fred”, and both their last names end in “is”, so I think of the other when one is mentioned.
Yankees 4, A’s 1: Hideki Matsui hit a grand slam in the 6th inning the Yankees earned the series win as Andy Pettite got his sixth win. Pettite struck out six in eight innings and only walked one. He’s Good Huh? (I just employed the old “HGH acronym”, teehee).

Imig, I know you hate the Cubs since you’re a loser Cardinals fan, but even you can appreciate this headline.

Sometimes I get House Speaker Dennis Hastert and actor Dennis Haysbert confused. To make things worse, Dennis Hastert kind of looks like former Illinois Secretary of State George Ryan, which causes me to get current Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White and actor Dennis Haysbert confused in a roundabout way. If Jesse White ever says “it is very bad to drink Jobu’s rum†or “that’s Allstate’s stand†during a speech, my head may explode.

Since it will probably be edited by the PM Roundup – The New York Post doesn’t know Michael Strahan’s position.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:08 AM
Dude, the Tigers swept the White Sox thus possibly saving this shit soaked season, you toad. Imig sucks.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:09 AM
AL Central sucks worse than Imig.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:10 AM
Easy, big fella! It’s not as though you have the worst closer this side of post-PED Gagne single-handedly taking your team out of contention. Oh…you do. Sorry.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:10 AM
CRM, the NY Post knows Strahan’s favorite position is “catcher”, but that wouldn’t be very appropriate for a family tabloid.

@RWH – YOU have a ring? Really? I didn’t realize you played for the Giants! Let me guess, you play tight end, right?
June 13th, 2008 at 10:19 AM
Alright Roman well at least agree he is probably
June 13th, 2008 at 10:19 AM
@RWH: send him on back to Houston; we can fix him… Wagner that is, not the HOFer.

To all the Cubs fans who say that Hawk Harrelson is the worst broadcaster in baseball, I give you a quote from Ron Santo yesterday.
“Yeah I’m surprised Pat that they’re leaving [Kerry] in there for another inning. We’ve got Toronto tomorrow, so that means……..”
That was it. That’s how he ended it. His full point was “we’ve got Toronto tomorrow.” I was satisfied.
Full disclosure: I’m a White Sox fan who likes them both.

not that there’s anything wrong with being gay, at all.

sportsgal…funny…I HATE the elitist you didn’t play shit..my family has had season tickets for 50 years…I pay $1700 for two seats I own jerseys for half the team..my life revolves around this team during the football season…It is a communal family thing passed down from generation to generation, these players will come and go..I will always be here…so its we..it’s my ring..it’s us…so yes I HAVE A RING.

personally, i think Strahan eating a hot dog, but where does a Lions fan get off ripping on anyones football team.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:27 AM
I think sportsgal like the Bears. She only likes the Wings because of all of the titles.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:27 AM
I used to work for a pro sports team, so it was always funny when I’d say “we” and someone who didn’t know I worked there would make fun of me for it, and then I could play the “I’m actually an employee” card. Fuck those people.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:28 AM
@roman- i bet you wear a pinky ring
June 13th, 2008 at 10:29 AM
Clown – I think Benji is referring to Maggs. Because it’s kinda like me making fun of another team because their athletic-as-hell quarterback with tons of unrealized potential got thrown in the ‘pen for dogfighting.
Oh…that didn’t happen to anyone else’s team? Never mind.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:30 AM
ATL, you should’ve played the “i work for the team. check out my business card” card.
have you been to Bonnaroo before? i went in 03 and 04 (i think, maybe 04 and 05) and it was awesome. try and get as much shade as possible early in the day man, that is key. oh, and drink a shitload of Sangria.

What the fuck happened to Nikki Cox? Jay Mohr did a number on this trick.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:32 AM
more important question, what the fuck happened to Jay Mohr? suicide kings was a great movie
June 13th, 2008 at 10:33 AM
Roman did you lose a bet where you have to say FO Shizzle after everything?

You can’t have your cake and eat it too. For shame.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:34 AM
Jay Mohr’s greatest work was in Go. Him and Bailey were spot on playing homosexuals.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:35 AM
@Benji – I did that every once in awhile, but it seemed kind of douchey. So I only did it when the other person was a huge douche…fight fire with fire, I guess.
I haven’t been to Bonnaroo before. I’ve heard the same recommendations from tons of people though, re: the shade. My wife finagled back-stage passes for us (where they have an “artist’s tent” with drinks, snacks, AC, etc), though, so at least I don’t have to rough it quite as much as most. And I hate to brag, but in this case I can’t help it. I’m so f’ing excited. I leave in 1 hour!!

clown, i wish you would not have linked that. Nikki Cox was my favorite when i was about 13-15. i used to think she was the hottest chick out there. but not so much anymore.
jay mohr used to be really funny from what i remember. i remember seeing a stand up of his on HBO or Comedy Central and laughing my ass off. plus that movie Mafia is way underrated.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:37 AM
@roman- gotcha. i never knew you were irish. good people roman

benji..I heard Jay Mohr on Opie and Anthony 2 days ago…he is still really funny…he is working on a new TV show..I think his wife had like 2 kids in the last few years..probably the wear and tear did this..
Fo SHizzle
June 13th, 2008 at 10:40 AM
that shade and AC will be your savior. i remember we would be up partying and drinking til 2 or later. then we would all be woken up at 7am sharp because the sun basically cooked our tent to a nice 125 degrees (not exaggerating). we would come out the tent and all fight for the shade next to the cars or where ever we could find. but it is so much fun. definitely worth it. i’ll go back someday. when i was there last, MLB had a really cool booth/bus/exhibit thing set up. you should check that out.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:42 AM
Jay Mohr is married to Nikki Cox? Has anyone ever seen the show Action? there is only like 8 or 10 episodes, but i thought it was really funny.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:50 AM
I follow that by saying 36 years of family ownership of 3 tickets in sec 203 of Wolrd Champion Giants Stadium, yeah that qualifies us as saying our ring.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:51 AM
@ Benji… It’s supposed to be in the mid 80’s this weekend. That would be by far the coolest temp for Bonnaroo yet, because that’s always the first scorching hot weekend around here…
June 13th, 2008 at 10:53 AM
@August – yeah, 80s…but rain, too. Lots of it. I’m not sure which is worse. I’m definitely bringing 3 pair of old tennis shoes, though, and a bunch of t-shirts and shorts I don’t care about.
@Benji, and any others who’ve been there before. Can you bring folding chairs (like the “tailgating” chairs)? I know they say on the site that you can bring “concert” chairs, ones that sit a foot or less off the ground. Not sure if the typical camping/tailgating chairs fit that bill or not.
June 13th, 2008 at 10:55 AM
Nice threadjack, folks. Jay Freakin’ Mohr and Nikki Cox? Get a subscription to People, for chrissakes.
Too bad Peavy threw last night. I wanted to see him against an AL lineup.
When is Ozzie’s next blowup? Glad to see the Tigers quit playing dead. Still might be too little, too late.
June 13th, 2008 at 11:02 AM
ASF, do you mean to the concerts? i don’t think so. you can bring any kind of chairs to your camping area. but i don’t remember anyone bringing chairs down to the music/stage area. the reason we didn’t go back is because security was getting tight the second year and we heard it was tighter the next year.
June 13th, 2008 at 11:04 AM
Got it…we’re fortunate enough to stay in a hotel, so no camping for us. My wife has a great job with many hookups, thankfully. I figure we’ll be walking around Bonnaroo the majority of the time anyway, so chairs would probably be more hindrance than help.
Thanks for the info

Hotel? Boo. jk. you’ll be very lucky especially if its going to rain. it should still be fun.
June 13th, 2008 at 11:09 AM
Yeah yeah…I know. I should probably camp to get the full experience, but I prefer showers and toilets to rain and a port-o-john.
June 13th, 2008 at 11:13 AM
yeah, those are great amenities. you’re lucky it’s going to be in the 80’s. the heat was terrible. i’m not sure how it will work cuz you guys are in a hotel, and have VIP passes. but you might be waiting in line forever to get off the freeway. we waited in line 16 hours the first year. the next year we got there early on thursday afternoon and got right in.
make sure to go through the camping area and see all the dirty hippies and college kids. and check out the “shopping” areas. the stands and stuff for sale is pretty cool to see.
June 13th, 2008 at 11:21 AM
We’re going to be on a bus. My wife works with Yahoo a lot, and they’re a big sponsor of the concert. They got us the tickets, hotel, VIP passes, bus, etc. So, I’m hoping that they get special access with the bus and we don’t have to wait so long. I’ve heard nightmare stories about traffic though…
June 13th, 2008 at 12:14 PM
Good Dr., I can’t like Ron Santo? I have never listened to that guy where he didn’t make me laugh.
