I’m sorry, the mixes I make are so great, so ingenius in their sequencing and variety and quality, that it would be a shame to lose those inspired segues and juxtapositions merely because the girlfriend you originally gave them to turned out to be a psychopath.
I'm listening to the Rays radio feed, and it's great except for this INCONCEIVABLY PAINFUL anti-smoking ad
It’s just an old guy coughing and hacking and wheezing into my eardrums for a minute. Jesus fuck, we get it, smoking is bad. Don’t force me to mute the sound, assholes.
I just can't believe how utterly dominant the Rays look.
It’s simply impossible to get them out, up and down the order. Except for Perez, every player in the lineup has been on base, and every one except Iwamura through hits.
The Red Sox do NOT have a bad bullpen. It’s just that the Rays are that good.
Assuming they win the ALCS, I pity the team that has to face them in the WS.
It's a playoff game and it's good to respect your opponent and how important these games are by leaving your regulars in and acting like Boston could still win
That would be my only dilemma as a manager in this situation.
Do I want to keep pouring it on even though I’m already up by 10 runs? Or do I want to tell the Red Sox “Hey, we have you beat. We’re gonna play the backups because we know you will not win today.”
I’d probably just put it to a vote and let the players decide.
I learned it in college and haven’t gone back. I can’t touch-type on QWERTY anymore though. But I haven’t rearranged my keyboard, I just don’t look at the keys.
If you already know QWERTY, it’s not worth switching. If you don’t know how to touch type, it’s worth learning on Dvorak, you’ll be faster and have less stress. I’ve already switched and lost 3 months of productivity at the time so I’m not going back and doing it again.
So Frank from "Frank TV" was on Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN, today.
He said he asked the marketing department if they would lower the number of TV spots during the playoffs. The head marketing guy told him “No”.
So Frank apologized for all the freaking ads.
I can't imagine that it's doing anything to help the show's ratings.
I had a modicum of interest last year — mostly because his GW Bush is pretty incredible — but I now refuse to watch it. And I don’t know a single person who has ever seen it.
quick question… Has the state ever contacted you about your sites? Seems like they would really enjoy having some sort of sponsorship to promote tourism.
I still have many friends in the biz. I can imagine a string of commercials following you while waking up in the early morning, shaving in your car, brushing aside empty paper coffee cups, studying the map, etc.
Dude, that's "our" song
JI - October 14, 2008
Yeah, I am hurt by this.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Felix doesn't deserve sole possession
Jeff Sullivan - October 14, 2008
You cannot use "our song" for another team.
It’s like creating a mixed cd for one girlfriend and then when you hook up with another, using the same mix.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 14, 2008
That's only bad if they know each other
Sec 108 - October 14, 2008
No it is never allowed.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 14, 2008
What if a gf makes you a mixed cd
And then when you break up you give it to someone else?
Sec 108 - October 14, 2008
I've done this several times.
Never paid any price.
I’m sorry, the mixes I make are so great, so ingenius in their sequencing and variety and quality, that it would be a shame to lose those inspired segues and juxtapositions merely because the girlfriend you originally gave them to turned out to be a psychopath.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Great mixes should start high and only go higher.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Not true.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Whoosh.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Fake Moby totally agrees.
joof - October 15, 2008
This is gonna be REALLY awkward when Felix 1st pitches against the Rays next season.
SethGrandpa - October 14, 2008
My site, my song, my decision
Jeff Sullivan - October 14, 2008
Dictator.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 14, 2008
Duh?
Jeff Sullivan - October 14, 2008
So Matthew doesn't have any power now?
Your just asking to be hackedtaculared
Robert - October 14, 2008
Without any traffic he has no site
better please the people.
JI - October 14, 2008
I didn't demand it be removed,
just noted that I’m hurt by its use.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
We care about your feelings
Robert - October 14, 2008
I am hurt by this.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Dulley noted
Robert - October 14, 2008
does this make sense?
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 14, 2008
This isn't 1998. Creating a mix tape at all is lame.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
She's from a different generation.
JI - October 14, 2008
I want her to tell us about the enchantment under the sea dance again!
Robert - October 14, 2008
I don't think this happened.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 14, 2008
Isn't Good Riddance by Green Day mandatory for mixed tapes?
Robert - October 14, 2008
I got choked up when they used it during the Seinfeld finale.
JI - October 14, 2008
Vitamin C : Graduations :: Good Riddance: Relationships
Robert - October 14, 2008
If you turn it up real loud you can hear them say fuck after the false start
JI - October 14, 2008
I miss Green Day not being overplayed
Robert - October 14, 2008
Are you kidding?
That song was the posterboy for overplayed
JI - October 14, 2008
I hate that song
I liked their other work
Robert - October 14, 2008
I liked them better when they wrote about masturbation and boredom.
Write what you know, right?
marc w - October 14, 2008
Also I assumed that we used this song in extreme sarcasm
Robert - October 14, 2008
I was really, really hoping it was the Ted Nugent song Stranglehold.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
I was too
Sec 108 - October 14, 2008
Who's Boston's game six starter if need be? Do we know if they're going to stick with Beckett?
Matthew - October 14, 2008
They can always remove him from the roster
or the could with Masterson or Byrd if he can’t go. If he’s not right their bullpen is going have to absorb a lot of innings.
JI - October 14, 2008
If they're facing elimination
I could see them going with Lester on short rest with Beckett available out of the pen.
Jeff Sullivan - October 14, 2008
It's not like he threw a complete game yesterday.
JI - October 14, 2008
More trustworthy than Beckett
and I can’t see them going with Materson or Byrd in an elimination game.
Jeff Sullivan - October 14, 2008
Yes, but you do have to win (god willing) game 7 too.
JI - October 14, 2008
I have to go to a party but GOOOOOOOO RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYS
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 14, 2008
Who amongst us will be turning their lights out?
JI - October 14, 2008
Radio Shack turns off the lights when House is on.
Robert - October 14, 2008
Aren't they closed by 9?
JI - October 14, 2008
They close at 9 for some retarded reason
but god dammit I want to watch House uninterrupted, so if your coming in it better be worth it.
Robert - October 14, 2008
is that tonight?
gosh. I had no idea.
msb - October 14, 2008
Until the sun goes down.
Teej - October 14, 2008
oh, thank you VERY much.
now, I’ll be singing that all evening.
msb - October 14, 2008
Drew hitting leadoff?
I can’t say I disapprove.
JI - October 14, 2008
Sonnanstine, Lollipops?
Works for me.
eponymous_coward - October 14, 2008
This game better be in the bag by 8:00
JI - October 14, 2008
PENA!!!
Double06 - October 14, 2008
Props!
JI - October 14, 2008
Suave.
Patrick517 - October 14, 2008
Pena!

Pena opposite field again!
Teej - October 14, 2008
LONGO!!!
JI - October 14, 2008
LONGO!!!!
BAHAHAHAHA BACK TO BACK BITCHES
Double06 - October 14, 2008
This is so incredibly fucking awesome.
Teej - October 14, 2008
IT IS RAINING HITS IN BOSTON
JI - October 14, 2008
It's unbelievable how fucked the Red Sox are.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Aaaand B2B2B XBHs
This inning is going to leave a really big smile on my face.
Double06 - October 14, 2008
It's sort of a shame because I really like Wakefield
JI - October 14, 2008
But not really
JI - October 14, 2008
I couldn't have scripted a better way to start me evening.
Teej - October 14, 2008
me?
Teej - October 14, 2008
It could only be better with a nice can of spinach
OlSalty - October 14, 2008
Wow, holy crap.
ThundaPC - October 14, 2008
This game brought to me with burgers and beer.
I am happy.
royalcurve - October 14, 2008
I'm listening to the Rays radio feed, and it's great except for this INCONCEIVABLY PAINFUL anti-smoking ad
It’s just an old guy coughing and hacking and wheezing into my eardrums for a minute. Jesus fuck, we get it, smoking is bad. Don’t force me to mute the sound, assholes.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
"Kinda like a Paul Byrd."
Except, you know, good.
Teej - October 14, 2008
RAYSSSSSSSSSSSSS
OlSalty - October 14, 2008
How Andy Sonnanstine ever gets swinging strikes, much less swinging strikeouts, I'll never know.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
See, now that was a far better inning than Tim Wakefield's
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Sox are boned.
Patrick517 - October 14, 2008
Did Sager just poke his head out of the scoreboard to do his piece?
I must be seeing things.
Teej - October 14, 2008
He did
JI - October 14, 2008
This made me burst out laughing in the bar.
appleshampoo - October 14, 2008
Actually two teams go to the world series
JI - October 14, 2008
Learn how to field rookie.
JI - October 14, 2008
Pena still should have had that.
Teej - October 14, 2008
Inexperience loses championships
Double06 - October 14, 2008
Sometimes so does experience.
Look at Wakefield.
Patrick517 - October 14, 2008
and Jason Varitek
Patrick517 - October 14, 2008
Because I'm completely serious.
Double06 - October 14, 2008
and old man Moyer
Patrick517 - October 14, 2008
Defense WOOOOOOOOO!!!
Teej - October 14, 2008
How do these dumbfucks not see that Bay hit ~the same as Manny did in Boston this season?
Jesus, they’re not the 85 Cardinals.
JI - October 14, 2008
I love how snakebitten the Sox seem right now.
With the ominous feeling that it could turn at any moment.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Even Wakefield's outs are rockets.
Teej - October 14, 2008
I've never heard of a crew that cared more about emotion than this one.
JI - October 14, 2008
Without showing any.
Teej - October 14, 2008
*Disgust for the Red Sox losing
JI - October 14, 2008
I love my life.
Teej - October 14, 2008
Aybar!
JI - October 14, 2008
AYBAR!!
Double06 - October 14, 2008
Whooooooo!
ThundaPC - October 14, 2008
Woo weak game 5 bullpen
Double06 - October 14, 2008
This is happiness times.
Patrick517 - October 14, 2008
Go Rays!
Patrick517 - October 14, 2008
This is the coolest awesome ever
Corco - October 14, 2008
I'm so happy
Scruffy Lefty - October 14, 2008
My God this is wonderful.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
AND HERE COME THE RED SOX!!!
JI - October 14, 2008
Booooo.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Kevin Cash? Homer?
Does not compute.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Meh, Sonnanstine will do these things.
Double06 - October 14, 2008
That oughta get the announcers back in the game
OlSalty - October 14, 2008
How does Pena rank as a defender?
BrianL - October 14, 2008
He has always had a good reputation
JI - October 14, 2008
I believe he's average to above average for a 1B.
He’s not Pujols, but he’s not Howard.
Teej - October 14, 2008
Slightly above average.
R.J. Anderson - October 14, 2008
To think you got him for nothing
and we paid Vidro millions.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Tried out Hee Seop Choi at the same time too.
R.J. Anderson - October 14, 2008
Apparently we chose Carl Everett over Pena.
ThundaPC - October 14, 2008
3.8 runs per Inaz.
http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=pfk_WuYpfdux2FC_hs6ROEQ&gid=1
R.J. Anderson - October 14, 2008
WEEEEE!
Boooo.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
What a lazy running catch.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
This defense is wonderful.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
If Upton were still at SS,
that would have been a double and an infield single.
Teej - October 14, 2008
PSA: I turned out every one of my lights and am running every faucet on scalding
in order to make up for this turn out the lights thing.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
turned on, that is.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Don't forget to plug in 100 christmas lights
P Brady - October 14, 2008
My neighbors across the street have a bucnch of Halloween lights in their windows that have been on constantly since Sunday.
Goose - October 14, 2008
In order to reduce my water usage, I threw away all my dishware and am using plastic and styrofoam exclusively.
Teej - October 14, 2008
I turned out all my lights, but left my tv running
while I go out on a drive
JI - October 14, 2008
I was originally planning on driving around aimlessly in the Jeep Cherokee for about an hour or so.
But I’ve been feeling like crap all day, so meh.
Goose - October 14, 2008
Weeeeeeee!
Goose - October 14, 2008
It just keeps getting better.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
TRIPLE!! WEEEE
kentroyals5 - October 14, 2008
BARTLETT!
BrianL - October 14, 2008
No, because the correct strategy for the offense would be to just mail it in until they're tied again.
Double06 - October 14, 2008
It would make the announcers happy to have a "proven" winner to come back from behind!
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
RAYS RAYS RAYS
kentroyals5 - October 14, 2008
RAAAAAAAAAAYS
BrianL - October 14, 2008
This is a bloodbath.
It’s almost sad.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Remember when Cleveland led 3-1 last year?
JI - October 14, 2008
Regrettably I do
Sec 108 - October 14, 2008
I gotta say, I never expected this to happen in this series.
I really expected this series to be ALOT closer than this. It’s almost disappointing in a way.
Goose - October 14, 2008
These are the worst playoffs of all time.
JI - October 14, 2008
The results have been good.
The road to those results have kinda sucked.
Goose - October 14, 2008
It also doesn't help that the schedule for the playoffs is horrible.
Goose - October 14, 2008
The offdays are bad
but at least more of the games are accessible on tv.
JI - October 14, 2008
Boston is screwed
They have Dike-K sure, but for game 6 it seems they have a lot of options, but none of them pleasant.
JI - October 14, 2008
I'm enjoying this typo more than I should.
Double06 - October 14, 2008
Mmmmm Dike-k
Patrick517 - October 15, 2008
Yummy.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
This is satisfying
kentroyals5 - October 14, 2008
Weeeee!
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Seven run lead!
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Oh RAYS never leave me!
Hope you guys are enjoying the post season.
Never have I been bent over so far for the Rays. They have always been my #4 team, but God I hate the Red Sox they suck fecal matter filled booty.
Slica - October 14, 2008
Graphic.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
I just can't believe how utterly dominant the Rays look.
It’s simply impossible to get them out, up and down the order. Except for Perez, every player in the lineup has been on base, and every one except Iwamura through hits.
The Red Sox do NOT have a bad bullpen. It’s just that the Rays are that good.
Assuming they win the ALCS, I pity the team that has to face them in the WS.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Not to take too much away from them, but they seem to have had a ton of ground balls get through the infield today.
Teej - October 14, 2008
teehee
Double06 - October 14, 2008
Jesus, Crawford went WAY outside the zone to get that ball.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
More proof that it's simply impossible to get them out.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
SEX ME RAYS
BrianL - October 14, 2008
THIS ISN'T FAIR
Robert - October 14, 2008
Totally fair
This is karmic payback for Boston winning two World Series and turning into a bunch of giant douchebags
Corco - October 14, 2008
Agreed.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
FOR ME
Robert - October 14, 2008
What's wrong, Robert?
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Why does yet another fanbase get to be happy before me
Robert - October 14, 2008
Well you live in Seattle (or thereabouts) and they're stuck in Tampa, so you can take solace in that.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
Yes but I work with a actual rays fan and I already hear enough of his taunting regarding the Cards 06 title
Robert - October 14, 2008
Fuckin' A
esoteric - October 14, 2008
This is great.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
WOOOO
Somebody call House, im suffering from awesomenitis.
Slica - October 14, 2008
YESYESYES
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Weeee!
Goose - October 14, 2008
Rays pounding 10-1
Ouchiemomma…..
ThundaPC - October 14, 2008
I could eat this game up with a spoon
Scrupio - October 14, 2008
So, you think the Rays will replace their starters with their bench in the seventh?
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
I would.
Let some of those guys have some fun.
Goose - October 14, 2008
Longoria was set to pitch in the 15th of the All-Star Game
I think he wants a shot at it now.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
No we don't want the Rays turning into a bunch of giant douchebags
Because they’re going to be winning for the next 20,000,000 years and I think they should keep it classy
It is Boston though so tough call
Corco - October 14, 2008
How is that being a giant douchebag?
Goose - October 14, 2008
It's a playoff game and it's good to respect your opponent and how important these games are by leaving your regulars in and acting like Boston could still win
Corco - October 14, 2008
Fuck Boston.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
That's why it's a tough call
I’m leaning towards doing it as a giant way of flipping them off
Corco - October 14, 2008
There is a time for sportsmanship.
This is not that time.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Then lets show those Beaneaters how horrible they are
Let’s fill the outfield with pitchers and the infield with outfielders and let infielders pitch and catch
Corco - October 14, 2008
Let's see if BJ Upton can still play shortstop
Corco - October 14, 2008
Sonnanstine should motion for all the outfielders to sit down on the grass, and proceed to strikeout/groundout the Sox for three innings.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
YES
Corco - October 14, 2008
Next Rays homerun should result in a moonwalk around the bases
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
Cartwheels
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Too fast
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
Upton should do "The Worm" around the basepaths.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
I'd prefer to see him take a Rascal scooter around the basepaths.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Would a Segway be better?
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Piggyback on Pena.
Goose - October 14, 2008
Red Sox Nation Moccasins
Robert - October 14, 2008
Snaking
Robert - October 14, 2008
Shipoopi!
Corco - October 14, 2008
With a band following the hitter around the bases playing Sweet Caroline.
Teej - October 14, 2008
The ultimate insult would be to hit the homer and then not round the bases.
Grab a microphone and say that you’re choosing not to score then run, because you feel it’s not necessary.
Goose - October 14, 2008
I just like the moonwalk
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
That's a good idea
No reason to get injured jogging the bases
Corco - October 14, 2008
HeHe! That wouldn't just start a brawl that would be played on highlights for the forever.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
That could prove to be gif worthy.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
What?
Respect your opponent? Act like they can still win?
What the fuck is this? No mercy.
Goose - October 14, 2008
So . . . leave the starters in!
Teej - October 14, 2008
what you said
No Mercy is a giant shellacking, more likely done by the regulars
Corco - October 14, 2008
That would be my only dilemma as a manager in this situation.
Do I want to keep pouring it on even though I’m already up by 10 runs? Or do I want to tell the Red Sox “Hey, we have you beat. We’re gonna play the backups because we know you will not win today.”
I’d probably just put it to a vote and let the players decide.
Goose - October 14, 2008
TEN RUN LEAD
BrianL - October 14, 2008
In play, doome(d).
ThundaPC - October 14, 2008
I could go for an hourlong montage of Red Sox fans looking stunned and frustrated.
Teej - October 14, 2008
How about gifs?
Can we have gifs of stunned Sox fans?
BrianL - October 14, 2008
I want high-definition douche.
Teej - October 14, 2008
.
Here you go!
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
That has to be 'Shopped. Amazing.
Teej - October 14, 2008
No, it's the real deal.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
Good heavens there is no way that's real.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
I can't decide what the best part is
but the waxed eyebrows are up there.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
I like how you can see the goggle marks around the one on the right's eyes.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
I'm pretty sure their entire bodies are wax.
Teej - October 14, 2008
I find myself disappointed that that wasn't more runs
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
***concurred
Corco - October 14, 2008
The Rays haven't really scored enough to satisfy me yet.
Thankfully, there are three innings left.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Yeah, I want to see a 21-1 shellacking
Corco - October 14, 2008
Like game 3 of the 2004 ALCS
Robert - October 14, 2008
I noticed yesterday that Sonnanstine has virtually the same 2008 tRA as James Shields.
Have to say I did not expect that.
Teej - October 14, 2008
tRA: Noticing Sonnanstine is actually quite good since 2007.
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
I understand why Jeff loves you so much, Andy.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
What did I do to be so special?
Slica - October 14, 2008
Andy Sonnanstine is two-hitting the Red Sox.
I WANT TO DIP MY BALLS IN THIS GAME.
FOR THE SECOND TIME IN TWO DAYS!
esoteric - October 14, 2008
I really want to get a Sonnanstine Rays jersey
but then I’d look like a bandwagoner. I really should have done it in April
Corco - October 14, 2008
You had your opportunity.
Jeff’s been talking him up for a year now.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
I'm wearing my Longo jersey right now and I don't care if people think I'm a bandwagoner.
Because I am.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
I'm pretty sure that would have made you a LLemming.
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
Yes
but there is nothing wrong at all with being a LLemming
Corco - October 14, 2008
It's gross
Robert - October 14, 2008
But inapplicable to the larger world
Corco - October 14, 2008
'
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
Yeah see I'm still a Blackhawks fan
Corco - October 14, 2008
I talked hockey with a canadian customer for 20 minutes so munch my ass
Robert - October 14, 2008
I fear Mountain Dew disease
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
My people face AIDS like persecution
Robert - October 14, 2008
In fact the only piece of evidence I have that indicates that I have been rooting for the Rays since the beginning of the season
is a Facebook wall post where I told a Red Sox fan to “watch out for the rays” back in April. And it was to a girl so it doesn’t really count
Corco - October 14, 2008
I mean specifically Jeff and I talking up Sonnanstine since about this time last year
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
Yes
because it’s all about how you look to other people.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
It's certainly a factor
That and US$200 that would have to be pulled from my highway fund
Corco - October 14, 2008
I take back my dating advice.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
It still stands
Corco - October 14, 2008
More reason to hate Boston fans:
Ditching their team.
Tomorrow they come back with Rays jerseys. Douchebags.
Slica - October 14, 2008
Bahahaha suck it King.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Stephen King reading a book is hilarious.
Goose - October 14, 2008
IT WASN'T SUPPOSED TO BE THIS EASY
I plan on openly rooting for the Phillies in the WS
Robert - October 14, 2008
I concur.
Patrick517 - October 15, 2008
That is why they play the games! Ortiz with a triple. Wow!
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
Now there's something you don't see every day.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
AND HERE COME THE RED SOX
JI - October 14, 2008
This is finally really, really funny.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
I would have loved to see them play the infield in.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
Damned rookies costing the Rays the pennant.
Double06 - October 14, 2008

Crap I hate when my keyboard reverts to the other profile for some reason
That should read “I will never be able to dislike Mike Timlin”
Corco - October 14, 2008
*Decoding Error*
ThundaPC - October 14, 2008
My freshman year I rearranged my keyboard in alphabetical order and set up the keyboard profile
I changed it back after a month but for some reason my computer periodically switches back to it
Corco - October 14, 2008
You are a complete retard
Robert - October 14, 2008
Rec'd for bluntness
I was testing to see if I could have two sets of muscle memory where my fingers could type in two different patterns to achieve the same objective
It failed and I was unable to type normally for a while
Corco - October 14, 2008
I am the biggest Corco fan on this site and holy crap i can't get over how insanely pointless and time destructive this is
Robert - October 14, 2008
If you want to do that
just go learn Dvorak.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Dvorak FTW
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dvorak_Simplified_Keyboard
I learned it in college and haven’t gone back. I can’t touch-type on QWERTY anymore though. But I haven’t rearranged my keyboard, I just don’t look at the keys.
appleshampoo - October 14, 2008
That's not bad
Corco - October 14, 2008
Biased against left handed people; is pretty gay.
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
Rational*
Robert - October 14, 2008
The girl I have a coffee date with is left handed
Corco - October 14, 2008
You should mention that she's evil.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
I have several times
I sit to the left of her in class and she is left handed and I’m a righty which has made our lives complicated
Corco - October 14, 2008
Who the hell writes during class?
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
Takes notes I guess
You don’t take notes?
Corco - October 14, 2008
Why would I need to take notes?
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
Make your baits less obvious next time
Robert - October 14, 2008
I draw pictures of highway signs in the margins during class and do long division
She takes notes though
Corco - October 14, 2008
Lies.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 14, 2008
There is something I REALLY want to say here but I think I would get boxed for pushing the limit
So Flags!
Robert - October 14, 2008
I know where you're going
Corco - October 14, 2008
I doubt that's happened Robert.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
I can tell you it hasn't
Corco - October 14, 2008
but I wouldn't mind if it did
Corco - October 14, 2008
It's more of a general question I now have
Robert - October 14, 2008
The *GIRL* I have a coffee date with is left handed
redundant
Robert - October 14, 2008
*sinister
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
On the off chance, I'm not giving him any clever latin jokes to make.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
This is a horrible idea.
Teej - October 14, 2008
Not that bad
If it’s preinstalled on the windows then you can pretty easily switch it around.
And it makes more sense than doing it in alphabetical order where you have to stretch for “A”
Corco - October 14, 2008
Seems based on some odd premises.
Why should you type predominantly with your right hand? And I don’t understand how the bottom row is more difficult to reach than any other key.
Teej - October 14, 2008
I think it depends ont he hands
Mine seem to like the bottom row better
Corco - October 14, 2008
Honestly
If you already know QWERTY, it’s not worth switching. If you don’t know how to touch type, it’s worth learning on Dvorak, you’ll be faster and have less stress. I’ve already switched and lost 3 months of productivity at the time so I’m not going back and doing it again.
appleshampoo - October 14, 2008
Well at least you'll have a funny anecdote for your coffee date.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
This is amazing.
Teej - October 14, 2008
Time minus 27 minutes until an all new House
Corco - October 14, 2008
So Frank from "Frank TV" was on Mike and Mike in the Morning on ESPN, today.
He said he asked the marketing department if they would lower the number of TV spots during the playoffs. The head marketing guy told him “No”.
So Frank apologized for all the freaking ads.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
TBS has a total of 4 ads to run during breaks.
That’s why we see Frank TV and that damn Poltergeist DirecTV ad every time.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
I can't imagine that it's doing anything to help the show's ratings.
I had a modicum of interest last year — mostly because his GW Bush is pretty incredible — but I now refuse to watch it. And I don’t know a single person who has ever seen it.
This just cannot be smart.
Teej - October 14, 2008
Completely agreed.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
Impersonators are the cover bands of the comedy world.
Aaron Campeau - October 14, 2008
His Madden's pretty good.
I also enjoy his stand-up routine that he hasn’t changed in decades.
Patrick517 - October 15, 2008
DRays Bay is insane:

Corco - October 14, 2008
card crusher is not funny anymore.
RafaelCarmona22 - October 14, 2008
Great idea.
Save some runs for Thursday. While we’re at it, let’s hit shorter home runs.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Willie Aybar, 5 RBIs.
Bahahahahahahahaha suck it Red Sox.
BrianL - October 14, 2008
Wonder how many times we're going to hear
“But the Red Sox have been here before….”
ThundaPC - October 14, 2008
Mr. Ay Bar is waging a war against the Red Sox
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
Ackbar?
Matthew - October 14, 2008
It's a trap!
Your tongues can’t repel flavor of this magnitude!

Hey, smaller
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Really? That's too big?
Really?
Goose - October 14, 2008
Takes up much of the screen because it's tall.
JI - October 14, 2008
I would prefer smaller height.
the 250 is standard for pics that are more wide than tall.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Is there a height tag?
Robert - October 14, 2008
I believe so
but you can also just keep shrinking the width.

Here comes the Yank... I mean, Boston.
It is hard to tell them apart anymore.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
I'm going out on a limb and calling Sexdrive a fucking stupid movie.
That at best ends up being half of what Eurotrip is.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Does it have Michelle Trachtenburg?
Goose - October 14, 2008
Fun fact: she was a POTW on House.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Well there is one reason for me to watch that show.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
I don't know if it will be that bad. Equal to Eurotrip, but not less than half.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
Not that I plan to see it.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
Eurotrip wasn't bad.
This looks terrible.
Matthew - October 14, 2008
Honestly, I only saw half of Eurotrip.
I really don’t go for those types of comedies anymore.
mark sobba - October 14, 2008
They shouldn't be running those ads.
It’s baseball. Kids are watching.

Wohooo HOuse is almost on!
Slurvey - October 14, 2008
So is Ortiz falling off a cliff?
Teej - October 14, 2008
He's been hurt all year
but he’s also not the same guy as he was in ’04.
Omerta - October 14, 2008
The Tampa fucking Rays are going to be plying in the World fucking Series
incredible.
JI - October 14, 2008
That "never been to the big dance" club

Alright fine that'll do
Dewey N - October 14, 2008
YAY

Well mostly receive texts about the game but yet.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 14, 2008
No TV?
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008
No tv and was out.
But this was important particuarly getting to give the updates to my rsox friend.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 14, 2008
Ah yes. Rub it in deep.
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008
One win away.
I’ve been so incredibly afraid of getting my hopes up, but this is starting to look really good.
Teej - October 14, 2008
I'm with you, and go Rays,
but it seems like my unpopular wish for a Dodgers/Rays series (Rays win final game) might not become true.
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008
"The Phillies deserve this."
I keep hearing that. How exactly?
.Taylor - October 14, 2008
HUZZAH
Corco - October 14, 2008
Hey Corco,
quick question… Has the state ever contacted you about your sites? Seems like they would really enjoy having some sort of sponsorship to promote tourism.
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008
They haven't
but if you know anyone working with the state that would be interested in such an endeavor let me know
Corco - October 14, 2008
I dunno, let me see what I can drum up.
I still have many friends in the biz. I can imagine a string of commercials following you while waking up in the early morning, shaving in your car, brushing aside empty paper coffee cups, studying the map, etc.
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008
Anyway, it might be something for you to look into - I could see them doing a string of commercials with you traveling the highways and byways.
That just the former agent for actors in me, though.
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008
*that's
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008
Thank goodness Pedroia is short, white and stubbled.
Because if he weren’t, he might have caught some flak for that little camera-shoving fit.
Teej - October 14, 2008
"The Red Sox have been here before."
“Their veterans will prove too crafty for this young Tampa ballclub.”
Too funny.
.Taylor - October 14, 2008
Ahaha TBS actually shows something of worth.
As Sager walked by in that Pimp-Suit-Minus-The-Hat, Maddon blew a kiss at him.

I've got a soft spot for guys with black-rimmed glasses.
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008

I take it that's the little Kevinator there?
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Indeed!
kevin_ess - October 15, 2008
You're all just like the Sox Nation. You don't even stick around to chat!
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008
Worth a 1000 words and all that:
Goose - October 14, 2008
True fan. And a face for writing.
kevin_ess - October 14, 2008
He looks like a orangutan.
Faux - October 14, 2008
He looks like Gollum in that old animated version of Return Of The King
Or am I the only one who remembers that?
esoteric - October 14, 2008
No wonder they outlawed Maple bats.
Patrick517 - October 15, 2008
For the record: Matthew, JI, Corco
Lesson duly noted. I shall never mock House again in such fashion.
And the box really has that JI stink all over it. Filthy.
esoteric - October 14, 2008
Aha the box smells like JI
I knew it
Dewey N - October 14, 2008
Bitches all smell alike
Robert - October 14, 2008
I have been boxed since I said that it was hilarious that the Sens lost to Anaheim in Anahem
and that was a long time ago.
JI - October 14, 2008
Die.
Graham MacAree - October 14, 2008
I hope you were just boxed as I have been boxed twice since you said that.
Kirsten Schlewitz - October 15, 2008
