Oh, it's a big pretty white plane with red stripes, curtains at the windows, wheels, and it just looks like a big Tylenol....
Some odds and ends from the weekend...
I forgot to mention this when writing about the Nats game, but what is the etiquette in the dugout when a guy is vying for the cycle? Is it the hush-hush no-hitter routine of not even mentioning it? I was thinking it's the exact opposite, especially when it's Vinny Castilla. "Yo Vinny, you realize you have a double, triple and homer right? Go hit for that cycle big boy." Then Vinny promptly gets plunked by some douchebag French reliever.
The 1st place team in the NL East...the Washington Nationals. Good for them, good for DC, good for me as they play 15 minutes away. My hope is they can stay in contention for at least half a season, mainly just to stick it to Peter Angelos. Have I mentioned how much I hate that guy?
Matt Doherty is going to be the coach at Florida Atlantic? He isn't qualified to coach a better club? No offense to Florida Atlantic (10-17 last year), but I would've thought Doherty would end up at a much higher profile program. The highlight of this hiring: Doherty plans on putting former Kansas star Rex Walters on his staff as an assistant coach.
Is Orioles radio man Joe Angel related in anyway to Pirates closer Joe Table?
To all those Deadwood fans out there, this is the best fucking site you'll ever see.
Who's 4-8 and dead last in the American League? That's right, my New York Yankees (tied with the Devil Rays and Royals). Everyone from SportsGuy to the a-hole three rows back on my flight wants to know when George is going to burst. Well, I think George has finally had it:
"Enough is enough. I am bitterly disappointed, as I'm sure all Yankee fans are, by the lack of performance by our team," Steinbrenner said in a statement issued immediately after the game. "It is unbelievable to me that the highest-paid team in baseball would start the season in such a deep funk. They are not playing like true Yankees. They have the talent to win and they are not winning. I expect Joe Torre, his complete coaching staff and the team to turn this around."

Yesterdays Nats game was awesome...though I only caught innings 6 through 9. The 6 run 7th by the Nats was phenomenal...and RFK was rocking.
And either the CNN news-donkey got it wrong, or they realized that The Ass wasn't a good stadium name...but it is henceforth being referred to as Armed Forces Field.
Damn it...the AFF can't compete with the ASS.
Once the ASS, always the ASS.
Wes, did you stop taking your medicine again?
"A dictatorship of relativism is being built that recognizes nothing as definite and which leaves as the ultimate measure only one's ego and desires." - Cardinal Ratzinger
I'm actually going to completely agree with the Cardinal on this one. This "if it feels good then do it" society we are headed towards is leading us into a culture of moral ambiguities and glorified victimhood.
Let's return the discourse to it's proper level:
PRE-EMINENT party crasher Shaggy was nabbed Thursday night at a CD release party for Ivano Bellini's "Miami Afterhours" at the Polish Consulate on Madison Avenue. According to the party planner: "I personally threw him out. I literally took the goody bag out of his grubby hands, but who knows how long he was there eating and drinking for free. I don't know how he got past consulate security." It may have something to do with the fact that Shaggy has printed up fake New York Post "Nightlife Correspondent" business cards.
As a Catholic (albeit a bad one currently) I am hoping we might make a few technological advances before the next papal election:
VATICAN CITY - Black smoke poured from the Sistine Chapel's chimney Monday evening, signaling that the cardinals sequestered inside for the first papal conclave of the new millennium failed to elect a new pope.
The black smoke emanating shortly after 8 p.m. (2 p.m. EDT) meant the 115 voting cardinal "princes" of the church would retire for the night and return to the chapel Tuesday morning for more balloting in their search for a successor to Pope John Paul II.
So when you go in the back room of my apartment, you're electing the pope?
And that kids is how a euphemism is born.
Yup. I bet those Cardinals are going to destroy some Taco Bell after they spend all night electing the pope.
The Cardinals are enthralled by Cartoon Network anytime they are electing the pope.
Mmm. Taco Bell sounds goooooood.
I have a hard time erecting the pipe after electing the pope.
Most of the Cardinals elect the pope, then spend the next 24 hours trying to remember what they did before electing the pope.
Anquan Boldin....Darnell Dockett....Roger Cedeno....Taquan Dean.....Ellis Myles....just sitting around, electing the pope.
...Robert Parrish...Lamar Odom...Bam Morris...Qyntel Woods...just electing the pope.
Someone needs to step in for Rudy Martzke:
Monday Night Football is coming to ESPN in 2006.
Sunday Night Football is moving to NBC that same year.
And ABC, after 36 seasons, will no longer carry NFL games.
ESPN, NBC and the NFL announced the changes Monday afternoon. ESPN and the league reached an eight-year deal for moving MNF, while NBC and the NFL reached a six-year deal.
Looks like Mr. Wahlberg got up on the wrong side of the bed:
Hollywood hunk Mark Wahlberg has slammed Eminem, Matt Damon and Ben Affleck for giving a false impression of tough, impoverished childhoods in their music and films. The Planet Of The Apes star has lambasted Damon, his co-star in new movie The Departed, for romanticizing difficult upbringings in Good Will Hunting, his debut film with Affleck. Wahlberg - who blames his assault conviction 17 years ago on his harsh childhood - has also attacked rapper Eminem for idealizing his difficult formative years in his biopic 8 Mile, in an interview with Details magazine. The 33-year-old actor complains, "My childhood wasn't like some 8 Mile bulls**t where you go and have a rap-off. Or like West Side Story, where you all start dancing and s**t. If I make a film about my upbringing it's going to be about more than a f**king kid doing math, like in Good Will Hunting, you know what I mean?"
They're stealing my office monkey idea...what's next, a real AnalBib company?
MESA, Ariz. (AP) - The Mesa Police Department is looking to add some primal instinct to its SWAT team. And to do that, it's looking to a monkey.
"Everybody laughs about it until they really start thinking about it," said Mesa Officer Sean Truelove, who builds and operates tactical robots for the suburban Phoenix SWAT team. "It would change the way we do business."
Truelove is spearheading the department's request to purchase and train a capuchin monkey, considered the second smartest primate to the chimpanzee. The department is seeking about $100,000 in federal grant money to put the idea to use in Mesa SWAT operations.
DO-YOU-UNDERSTAND-THE-WORDS-THAT-ARE-COMING-OUT-OF-MY-MOUTH?
APRIL 19--Comedian Chris Tucker was briefly jailed Sunday morning after Georgia cops pulled over his speeding 2005 Bentley when he did not immediately stop for them. Tucker, 33, spent about 30 minutes in the McDuffie County lockup before posting cash bond and being released. According to cops, the "Rush Hour" star, an Atlanta native, was doing 109 mph on Interstate 20 when pulled over by state troopers. He was arrested for reckless driving and fleeing to elude after he did not pull over right away.
My hope is they can stay in contention for at least half a season. Amanda Vanderpool
