The city so nice they named it twice...

Fantastic start to the second half of the season by the Yankees and Mets last night. I could've been hit by a bus this morning and it still wouldn't have wiped the smile off my face from seeing that douchebag Curt Schilling blow the game. To Rodriguez. Great start to the weekend...How 'bout dem Amazing Mets? I expect to see unbridled enthusiasm from Whitney and Jerry after last night's rousing victory. David Wright's homers (and diving catch on a piss poor bunt attempt) and Cliff Floyd's ridiculous catch falling into the stands. Doing it against Dan Dukes' Braves. Well done.

GTB's "Friday Gift To You My Loyal Readers" (also won the ESPY for "Worst GTB Title Ever")...
HOUSTON -- When Bassam Khalaf raps, he's the Arabic Assassin. His unreleased CD, "Terror Alert," includes rhymes about flying a plane into a building and descriptions of himself as a "crazy, suicidal Arabic ... equipped with bombs."

Wait for it...
Wait for it...
Wait for it...

Until last week, Khalaf also worked as a baggage screener at George Bush Intercontinental Airport.

I used to think this guy had the worst show on television, then I read this...

Osama bin Laden's sexy singing niece, Wafah Bin Ladin, got more than she bargained for during an appearance on Donny Deutsch's CNBC show the other night. "If you were in a courtroom and you had to sentence Osama to death, would you do it?" Deutsch asked. "Most Americans would want to take a baseball bat and bust his head into 80,000 pieces." Wafah, 25, a Co lumbia grad who was born in Los Angeles and now uses her mother's maiden name Dufour, admitted she'd do it, but was reduced to tears. After the show, Deutsch got thousands of phone calls and e-mails, most chiding him for being a ruffian. The response was so overwhelming that Deutsch invited Wafah back on his show Wednesday night, ostensibly to apologize — but it turned into a debate over whether she should be the subject of a terror investigation.

Donny, I take it all back.

Jay Payton seems to be a real quality guy...

Jay Payton admitted last night that he intentionally confronted Terry Francona in the visitors dugout at Ameriquest Field on July 6 in hope that it would free him from his undesired role as the Red Sox' fourth outfielder and hasten his departure. Payton got in a shouting match with the Sox manager during the late innings of a game vs. Texas after fearing that he would miss getting an at-bat due to a double-switch with John Olerud, who was also inserted into the game at the same time. In full view of the bench, he got in an exchange with Francona that was so heated the team immediately designated Payton for assignment and refused to allow him to accompany the team to Baltimore. General manager Theo Epstein immediately traded him to Oakland for relief pitcher Chad Bradford

Taj watches CNBC? Who knew?

Granted, he is to TV programs what Wilt the Stilt was to women, but I never had him pegged for a CNBC guy.

Geoff said...

So big, in fact, that you can't spell his last name.

T.J. said...

(Correction) I'm a big Ron Insana guy.

Geoff said...

Nice work. Now my post makes no sense. What a sell out.

T.J. said...

You'll get over it.

Geoff said...

Will I, TJ? WILL I????

Simmer Down Now

Jerry said...

The Mets now have 2 "flying into the stands" catches this season that were as good or better than Jeter's catch last year that resulted in a boo-boo on his chin and a 2 week t-bagging from everybody in the media.

T.J. said...

That's what I was waiting for from Jerry...and he's right too.

I've just learned that the entertainment at our Annual Meeting will be Glenn Frey. Joe Walsh must've been booked.

Whitney said...

If he alters his song to lament the saga of realtors with too many listings, "The Juggler's Blues," you have to tape it.

Whitney said...

Is anyone else over here now hoping the boys from ForumForem are real? Chandy, you have us a-titter.

Geoff said...

Why does Chandy have you a titter? Does she have insight into the forumforem facade?

Whitney said...

Either you don't read your own blog's comments, or the thought of Chandy's boobies on film don't do anything for you. Either way, I'm a little disappointed.

Geoff said...

Ah yes, I forgot about that promise. Unfortunately, there is no chance they're legit. I mean, really...

T.J. said...

Boooooooooooobies

Whitney said...

Chandy's boobies are 2 legit 2 quit, and shame on you for saying otherwise.

T.J. said...

Yes, U Can't Touch Them...

Jane D. said...

You guys talk like you have experience with them...the thing is, I have great confidence Geoffers is right about Bruno.

Whitney said...

Clearly, but now there's a rooting interest in his actuality. Just when the blogosphere was getting a little stale, everything's been turned on its ear. Hot Action is the blog with the most going for it, Tajikistan has a slew of new names, and people actually want the Forum losers to be real. I credit Chandy, 2005's MVP through the 1st half of the season. It's a bumpy road though, and word has it that Duffman Speaks is going to make a big comeback with his new voice-recognition equipment. It's all happening.

Except over at the blog where I am supposed to be writing the most regularly, which I've started treating like a girlfriend after six months.

Geoff said...

Thanks for the moral support you little minx.

Jane D. said...

I am so happy and honored to accept this prestigous award...First, I'd like to thank my Mom and Dad for all their love and support. I couldn't have made it this far with out them...then my agent...
