Nice work with the targeted ads. Giant ad with a pic of Obama on the right navigation.

and, besides, Leyritz has been banned, but not for the DUI. He broke THE number one rule of baseball

Bill Dewitt’s gonna disinfect the entire stadium after he leaves. Mark my words.

That picture is awesome.

Will O’reilly send an intern to throw a mic in Obama’s face?
And please, no more Lange talk, unless he buys a new fedora or New Era.

Isn’t Buck a huge republican? I would never expect Buck to say anything controversial, but I am curious to see how this plays out.
July 13th, 2009 at 12:15 PM
Joe Buck will be very nice to the President. Joe Buck has been very nice to the cast of the O.C.

@pki if i know joe buck like i think i do despite his political leanings he yearns for some type of mutual masturbation with obama where they compliment each other endlessly into the night.
July 13th, 2009 at 12:16 PM
i think there is a 0% chance obama brings up the lange “incident” and if he does he should be impeached for not having enough stuff to do and being dumb enough to have watched bucks show.

Have you ever heard him on cowherd’s show? I had to clean the floor mats in my car.

i have zero to do with the ads, please take my word for it
i’m mildly interested to hear what about obama has to say. legit question: why didn’t you want to throw out the first pitch for the nationals?
July 13th, 2009 at 12:26 PM
because he is a white sox fan
July 13th, 2009 at 12:27 PM
and because the nationals are turrible

“It’s great to be here with all these All Stars. You two are an amazing announcing tandem. This is a beautiful stadium, and St. Louis is a wonderful town. Baseball is the national pasttime.”
That’s gonna be a lot of untruthin right there.

they will treat him with respect, as they should with all Presidents.
why didn’t you want to throw out the first pitch for the nationals?
eyeballs. no one cares about the Natinals on Opening Day in April when compared to a natinally televised All-Star game in July. He also has a health-care plan to sell to Middle America.

Don’t they have to bow to Skinny Morpheus?

Damn…beat me to it. Well done sir.

only if you’re an NBC news anchor
July 13th, 2009 at 12:39 PM
just bet $20 at 10,000:1 odds that Obama lets out a “cocksucker.com” reference in tribute to Artie Lange

The ads are served contextually, meaning an algorithm chooses them based on the text found on the site

never thought of tony larussa to be a rush limbaugh/sean hannity-type.
