What, pray tell, is Mr. Lerner doing in the photo below? Does he have in invisible Playstation PSP? Are his the world's smallest thumbs? Is he measuring Rob Dibble's head? Your guesses in the comments, please. Winner gets a copy of the new Kids in the Hall DVD, or Stan Kasten's nail clippings, whichever costs less.

it's hard to overestimate the top to bottom futility of the nats' organization. it's a foregone conclusion that strasburg is a bust, right?
ReplyDeleteBrien Taylor 2.0?
ReplyDeleteStrasburg's name isn't even Strasburg. Its Murray Kingsley. And he's actually 34.
ReplyDeletewilbon makes the point this morning that the nats erred in drafting strasburg. i see the baseball logic, but they really didn't have a choice, especially given the fact that they essentially started the public relations campaign for the kid months ago. don't draft him, and the already apathetic and annoyed fan 'base' craters.
ReplyDeleteAccording to this (geeky but interesting) site, the Nats have a .03% chance of making the playoffs.
ReplyDeleteThe Orioles have a .3% chance.
Every other team in baseball has at least a whole percentage point. Nice metropolitan area for baseball.
I could play for this Nats team and I was a .100 hitter in little league.
ReplyDeleteRegarding the fatal shooting of a Holocaust Museum guard by a white supremacist, a peer of the murderer had this to say:
ReplyDelete"The responsible white separatist community condemns this," he said. "It makes us look bad."
There are no words.
i believe we need to create a gtb sitcom based on the 'responsible white supremacist community'. maybe a reverse diff'rent strokes.
ReplyDeleteseparatist, not supremacist. so hard to keep up with all the terminology.

Sheesh, Rob, get it straight. Separatists merely believe that the white Gentiles should live apart from others. That they believe the blacks and Jews should reside at the bottom of the ocean is irrelevant.
ReplyDeletesort of a separate but equal thing, then? in that case, my apologies.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Ollie Williams would have to say about this?
ReplyDeleteSome failed white supremacist sitcom ideas:
ReplyDeleteThe Patty & David Duke Show
The KKK-Team
Beavis & Skinhead
Chico and the Klan

Maybe a show about a lovable racist living in Queens?
ReplyDeleteA 49ers fan sent this to me, from an article in the SF Gate this morning. As dull as this team is, I am glad their coach provides consistent entertainment:
ReplyDelete"There is a bowl for chewing gum in the locker room, near the equipment room, although Singletary has replaced the gum with nails."
And then he took his pants off...again.
ReplyDeleteThis might be the compassionate leader for the responsible white separatist community: http://tinyurl.com/mpabak
ReplyDeleteHe's either demonstrating the proper technique to milk a cow, or he's being approached by an off-camera cop who is about to handcuff him.
ReplyDeleteGame 4 hot action just a hour away...Mark, have you properly stuffed the ballot box?
ReplyDeleteI know nothing about soccer, but where the fuck did Real Madrid find 200 mil for Ronaldo and Kaka (ha)?
ReplyDeleteNot just yet. First a little chinese and then to Vitas' house to cast my ballot.
ReplyDeleteMark just wanted you all to know he is not happy with the choice of tonight's crew chief.
ReplyDeleteCougar Town. Two Words: Four Episodes.
ReplyDeleteMillions of Pietrus, Pietrus for me. Millions of Pietrus for three
ReplyDeleteTeeJay just said Bill Russell
ReplyDeleteIf there's a better beer that Hoegaarden, I don't wanna know about it.
ReplyDeleteThe Ottoman brought the entire Turkish bazaar out tonight.
ReplyDeleteI really do enjoy Rashard Lewis' king tut goatee.
ReplyDeleteJJ Redick did make a lot of shots in college right? That did happen?
ReplyDeleteYes...my colleague Ben also has a great Erin Andrews/Reddick hook up story via a former college teammate of JJ's.
ReplyDeleteGreg still can't stop laughing at "Chico and the Klan"...
ReplyDeleteAgreed that an ice cold pint of Hoegaarden, with a big old slice of lemon in it, is about as good as it gets.
ReplyDeleteShowing WNBA commercials during the Finals is like showing abstinence ads during porn.
ReplyDeleteExpect set shots.
ReplyDeleteNews flash - I am now on Twitter. Come follow me @therezdog. I promise wit and wisdom. And insults aimed at Rainn Wilson.
ReplyDeleteI got bored with twitter after 48 hours.
ReplyDeleteSo we can deduct that Erin Andrews was peed on.
ReplyDeleteTony likes that shot. He wants to give that shot a promise ring.
ReplyDeleteNo...Erin was insistent on having safe sex and JJ didn't have a condom...and hijinx ensued.
ReplyDeleteI hate these Prius ads.
ReplyDeleteI do too. That song makes me want to hurt woodland creatures.
ReplyDeleteWhat do we call that, the Polish inbounds pass?
ReplyDeleteOK, seriosuly, was is JJ on the court? I'm not even being a dick, what is the basketball rationale?
ReplyDeleteSomeone roll Lamar a fatty, he's got some free time on his hands...
ReplyDeleteGORTAT SMASH
ReplyDeleteJVG thinks JJ is the new hotness. That was a sweet spazzed out assist he just had on the break.
ReplyDeleteWhat did Rafer and JJ just discuss?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the gayest arm movement you can make.
ReplyDelete"I'm called Skip to my Lou...what about you honkey?"
ReplyDeleteWith two inane posts already in the hopper, tomorrow looks like a day chock full of frivolity for fans of G:TB.
ReplyDeleteLook at you playing Fox 5 teasers...
ReplyDeleteThis has got to be LA's lowest first half output of the playoffs... Maybe that one game against Houston was worse...
ReplyDeleteRandom thought appropos of nothing: Derek Jeter's the most over-hyped over-rated athlete of the last decade.
ReplyDeleteNo. Anna Kournikaova is.
ReplyDeleteAnd I won't argue that Jeter gets massive hype, but he is as good as advertise. Go look at his career stats.
Would you honestly say he's one of the top 2 or 3 shortstops of his era?
ReplyDeletei think you're both a little right. jeter is a very good player, but nobody's as good as he's advertised.
ReplyDeleteand inane is too kind for the post i prepared for tomorrow.
Yes. Hands down. And I believe even rob will begrudgingly have my back on this.
ReplyDeletegetting interesting in fenway, teej.
ReplyDeleteI do not have the MLB package...details?
ReplyDeleteyanks led 3-1 entering bottom 8. first 5 sox have reached. tie game, bases loaded, no out.
ReplyDeleteit's on mlb network if you have that.
ReplyDeleteAlceves?
ReplyDeleteHoly shit...I do...awesome...
ReplyDeleteyou just entered a whole new world of addiction. or for mark, a whole new world of tedium.
ReplyDeletePhil Eight Ball is terrible.
ReplyDeleteBob Costas is doing this game? I'm having a "carseat song" moment.
ReplyDeleteI'm just curious, does the endorsement of Ashton Kutcher make you likely to buy a camera?
ReplyDeleteJeter with a chance to shut some G:TBers up . . . or reinforce their point.
ReplyDeleteNick Green. OK then.
ReplyDeleteHas this strike zone been this big all night? Wow.
ReplyDeletePapelbon, dagger.
ReplyDeletehell yeah
ReplyDeleteI was watching the baseball...Geoffrey what led to this quick comeback?
ReplyDeletenice start, magic
ReplyDeleteI've been watching America's Game 82 Redskins...just switching back to the finals now.
ReplyDeleteI had to wait for them to run 70 chip in Pasadena...oh man that's good.
ReplyDeleteWhy is Courtney Lee getting no run (as asked by Greg)?
ReplyDeleteI like the guy who chooses to hose down the T-Mobile economist.
ReplyDeleteI mean, if he's gonna make those shots...
ReplyDeleteSuck it Gasol.
ReplyDelete-Greg
Amway is/was a cult, right?
ReplyDeleteOTTOMAN SMASH
ReplyDeleteHey, Dwight, we've got Nick Anderson on the phone for you.
ReplyDeleteStupid French guy hard fouling a grizzly Spaniard.
ReplyDeleteNBA globalization.
Yeah...wow. After Game 2 I was as ready to blame the refs as anyone. Not tonight. The Magic came out flat to start the second half and then couldn't seal it at the end (through a combination of missed free throws and inept offensive execution) so they've got nobody to blame but themselves. Just an awful loss all the way around.
