I'm a big softie

So Sunday I'm watching yet another Nats stinker (which they actually won thanks to Adam Dunn) and just as I'm about to turn during the 7th inning stretch I catch who's going to sing God Bless America. Let me just say that even I found this extremely cute.

  1. Way to excite the masses, TJ.

  2. TJ's manliness quotient actually went down with that post.

  3. Does my love of decorative soaps and the Golden Girls work for or against me?

    ReplyDelete
  4. Please rank the Golden Girls as to how attractive you find them, and then we will judge.

  5. For rankings purposes, do you mean "now" or "1988"?

  6. All Sophia Petrillo, all the time...

  7. Conventional wisdom puts Bea "Is For Bag" Arthur last, if only because all most folks think of when they hear her name is Jeffrey Ross's joke. Then again, that joke is all he's known for in some circles. But I think anyone who puts Estelle "I'd Rather Do J.Paul" Getty (in the old lady makeup) anywhere but last is falling prey to that influence. Old bat.

    It's really a two-horse race, and "Motley" Rue McLanahan has most of the votes. Betty "Turns" White "When I Get Naked" finishes second, with the other two getting mostly the masochistic vote.

  8. Rue McClanahan wins in a landslide. She was the youngest and dirty. Conversation over.

  9. Look at that beautiful Orlando skyline...or something.

  10. Remind me - Did the Warriors just give up on Pietrus? Or was he a FA and the Magic threw boatloads of cash at him?

    ReplyDelete
  11. A little of both. They kind of gave up on him (Don Nelson had completely given up on him) and didn't attempt to re-sign him last summer. The Magic signed for 4 years and about $24 miliion.

    ReplyDelete
  12. I'd say that was money well spent, if just for this series alone.

    ReplyDelete
  13. By the way, Pietrus never played this well or this consistently in the regular season. Never.

    ReplyDelete
  14. "How you beating the heat Ollie?"

    "SWIMMIN HOLE"

    OK, back to the hoops...

  15. Definitely. He was pretty good against Boston too.

    I've killed him because he made dumb plays on both ends and just seemed like a great athlete who didn't really know how to play.

    Suddenly, he's hitting those quick trigger 3s that, still, make me cringe and he's not constantly gambling on D and, by god, he's a damn fine role player. As well as a much needed dose of hyper-athleticism in the Orlando lineup.

  16. Daniel Gibson making shots could prove problematic. He honestly scares me more than Mo Williams. I just feel like the stage (and the role) might be a little too big for Williams. For at least the first year.

    ReplyDelete
  17. If I'm the Magic I'm just finding it hard to get scared of a guy named Boobie.

    ReplyDelete
  18. Rob, given the abysmal shortstop play in recent years for your beloved Sox, do you ever regret the Beckett/Ramirez deal?

    ReplyDelete
  19. hard to regret the 2007 championship and beckett's dominant postseason. (not to mention lowell's contributions.) ramirez is a stud and i'd love to have him, but no, i don't regret the trade.

    ReplyDelete
  20. I forgot Lowell was in that deal. Anibel Sanchez go to Marlins too with Hanley?

    As you are well aware, I hate Beckett.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Do the Magic plan on defending any drives to the basket this half?

    ReplyDelete
  22. beckett has pieces of aj burnett in his stool. and yes, anibal was part of that trade: 4 sox prospects for beckett, lowell and willie mota.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Rafer now actually making And1 shots...

    ReplyDelete
  24. So let me get this straight...What Howard just did merits a tech but when Mo Williams pegged with the ball from 30 feet away it was cool?

    ReplyDelete
  25. that was some bullshit right there

    ReplyDelete
  26. mike brown realizes he's allowed to tell his players what to do, right?

    ReplyDelete
  27. Pietrus, Alston and Lee...oh my.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Not to sound like Doug Collins too much, but Delonte West is phenomenal in the post.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Well look at that...a foul on LeBron.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Get the ball to The Ottoman...

    ReplyDelete
  31. Can somebody please fucking explain to me why Mickael Pietrus and Rafer Alston have shot 3 of the Magic's last 4 shots?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Hmmmm...4.1 left is an eternity.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Rashard Lewis has shut me up repeatedly this postseason, and I couldn't be happier about it. But, if you're LeBron here, don't you just go barreling to the hole? I mean you're getting the call.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Teej, I was just thinking the same thing. 4.1, too long.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Karma says he misses this.

    ReplyDelete
  36. That is some fraudulent motherfucking shit.

    ReplyDelete
  37. David Stern has a remote control that controls that rim. You know this.

    ReplyDelete
  38. Unreal. OK, Hedo, get it done...

    ReplyDelete
  39. What the fuck was that scrum?

    ReplyDelete
  40. Not a foul at all. Plus, that play is a one in a million shot. You can get off a decent catch and shoot in 0.5.

    ReplyDelete
  41. And that one time was used up by the Dwight and the Magic last year against the Spurs.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Indeed. I will say this though, Dwight gets very little respect from the refs, even on the defensive end.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Or maybe it just feels that way because the refs blow LeBron.

    ReplyDelete
  44. It is insane how easily Howard backs down Cleveland's bigs. The only thing they have to do is keep him from getting 2 feet away from the basket, but they can't do it, fronting him or otherwise.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Just fucking foul him. Jesus.

    ReplyDelete
  46. My boy Mickael bringing it tonite.

    ReplyDelete
  47. LeBron...awful decision buddy.

    ReplyDelete

  49. Could he actually be fatigued?

    ReplyDelete
  50. Possible. I don't think he's played as great as he's getting credit for in this series overall.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Thank you Ben Wallace for actually fouling him.

    ReplyDelete
  52. It's the still the preferable strategy. Every fucking time.

    ReplyDelete
  53. That was sweet. I'm not convinced LeBron doesn't steal this tip though.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Mark, you can breathe now.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Escape is the definitely the right word there, Marv. I thought that shot was good, pretty much the whole way.

    ReplyDelete
  56. That was entirely more stressful than it should have been.
