I’ve been watching baseball for 25 years, and yet I saw two things for the first time ever live this weekend. On Saturday, I went to original Nick’s Roast Beef (20th and Jackson) to watch the Phils game after being infuriated by Trash Gordon on Friday night. I was with Mike of the Minions. In the bottom of the fifth, the Reds got men on first and second with nobody out. Then one of the craziest things that has ever happened in my life occurred. Ploddingly slow David Ross stepped to the plate. Mike turns to me and says, I swear to God, “Well this is the one guy on their team who is so slow he could hit into a triple play.” On the next pitch, David Ross hit into a 5-4-3 triple play. I totally freaked. “No way!” I screamed “No freaking way.” The people in the restaurant, several of whom weren’t watching the game, turned and looked at me like I was crazy. It was the first time I had ever seen a triple play live, and Mike had called it. Then, on Sunday night, the Red Sox pull off back to back to back to back home runs, something I had ever seen live and the first time it had happened in the American League since 1964. I’m going to the game tonight, and we’re gonna kill the Astros, as long as we don’t bring Trash into the game.
Jams Win
Sonnets 127-152 are very sexual in nature, and are addressed to this mysterious woman.
Young Old and Restless (repped by cutie bartender) win at O’Neals
What was the name of Shakespeare’s wife?
Pics of winners
Alright, I’m gonna post pics of last weeks winners and put a question below. Since April 23 was both a birth date and death date for Shakespeare, I gotta ask questions about him. One guess per person.
The Week in Review
The week started with an unfortunate loss by my crack team at Dark Horse Quizzo. Then, on Tuesday, we saw a huge blowout at the Bards. The Young, the Old, and the Restless, blew out Philly Hardcore, 106-79. Defending Champs Dork Sided finished with a 55.
On to the Bards, where we saw a memorable meltdown. The Sofa Kingdom and the Narcotyzing Dysfunktion entered the final round tied at 58. On the weekly double, the question was asked, “Before the Titanic sank, the White Star Line was going to name it’s sister ship this, which sounds like Titanic.” The Narcotizers got it right (Gigantic). The Kingdom had Gigantic written down, but in a brief fit of insanity, changed it to Titanic II. Their defense: they had been drinking at the Phils game. (Best answer to that question, though, came from Hitler Wore a Spam Shirt, who guessed “Super Titanic”.
The Jams headed into the final round down four to Nottingham Hill, but blew past them in the final frame to notch a 110-89 win. It is their 4th win in a row. A bounty next week? Certainly a possibility.
Things were a lot tighter at the Black Sheep. Duane’s World kept their heads above water during the rap round, and was still within 8 points of Catdog after three rounds. In the final round, they made their move, and edged a CatDog team still anxious for their first win, 90-88.
A MAGMA-less field at the Good Dog, and Fat Kid 6 too full advantage of it to come away with a 90-81 win over Fun Rocket. Team F****** Awesome put fought the good fight, and finished in 3rd with 79.
A emotional night at the Bards, as long time Satan’s Minions member Diane would be taking the field for the final time before moving to DC. The Minions entered the final round down three to the Kingdom, but fought on and came away with a 111-104 win. My Pubic Hair is an Exact Replica of Tom Selleck’s Moustache finished with 82.
NBC glorifies mass murder
NBC, which thought that the best way to honor the victims of this weeks massacre was to glorify their killer and let his thoughts be known, is starting to face a backlash. Matt Lauer made the lamest defense, saying, “But we’ve made the decision because, by showing some of this material, perhaps it will help us understand the question why. Why did it happen?” Well, gee, Matt, why don’t you show us some child pornography so we can try to figure out why. Why do people watch it? It’s simple, because gratuitous and disgusting pornographic acts are not meant for the public airwaves. Nor should we give over our airwaves to pieces of human filth who want to inspire a cult like following. NBC, when it sent out the materials to other stations, demanded that its logo be stamped in the corner and said that other stations must give mandatory credit to NBC News. They’re hoping that the recent mass murder will lead to an increase in ratings for Scrubs. Hey NBC, sorry there couldn’t have been a camera inside the schoolroom when the guy killed the Amish girls. After all, I’m sure it could have helped us understand, “Why?” Too bad, b/c that would have been a ratings bonanza, you sick f****. Interesting, isn’t it, that Don Imus is too disgusting to speak on NBC, but mass murderers aren’t?

What do you think?
One of these things is not like the others
Ok, so this is weird, and I’m kind of wondering it it’s true. There is a politician in India named Adolf Lu Hitler Marak. He is in the state of Maghalaya. While reading about him, I came to this sentence, “It may be noted that his name is not particularly curious within Meghalaya, where other local politicians are named Lenin R. Marak, Stalin L. Nangmin, Frankenstein W. Momin, or Tony Curtis Lyngdoh.” Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Frankenstein, Tony Curtis. A five headed hydra of evil, if you ask me.
Get that jackass out of my courtroom!
Phils WIn! Phils WIn! Phils WIn!
Do you believe in Miracles? Yes! The Nats loaded the bases with nobody out in the 9th, but the Phils escaped with a 4-2 win. Hallelujah! Btw, as D-Mac says, shouldn’t they trade Rowan right now that he’s hitting so well? Also, Mitch WIlliams is excellent in the post game coverage. Seriously, he is really good.
