Hello folks, and welcome to my hacienda. I only have a few basic rules to put up with.
- Don’t mess up the couch.
- Don’t kill the jukebox, that’s my livelihood you know.
- Dick jokes are allowed, just make sure you follow the bar rules.
- Slagney is here on loan.
Now we have that settled, on to the fun.Here’s your appetizers, folks.
- Two Yellows feels my pain with my own father’s sports demeanor – ATD
- Point/counterpoint over whether we should feel sorry for the Mets – The Rookies
- Curly still needs your help, so help out one of our two redheads, okay? – Wrap Around Curl
- CW and the Nick Swisher experience – Behind the Moat
- Hextall454 talking about Picking up the Czech – Melt Your Face Off
And for the folks who think I’m going to forget about the goodies, in honor of this writer as told by the Big Lead. Pimping ain’t easy.
The fact that is/was with Ronaldo saddens me...
And so you folks aren’t too bored without music…
Have some Lemmy…
And as always, last one out, lock the damn door.
That picture proves something about looks and money, and ummmmmmmm…………..
Wait, what was I talking about again?
The fact most of us only have one but not the other. And by that I mean the looks.
Because I know I’m broke.
I don’t have a whole lot of either.
I don’t, either. But someone still manages to love me just the same.
Hello,
Cheer me up, it’s been a stressful day!
You think your day is bad, go find the newest Starbury video. As least you’re not eating Vaseline…
I watched that yesterday. He needs to be institutionalized, for serious. I kinda want to make my Friday post about him, but he’s so crazy that I feel bad for him.
He really does. I think as he flat out said, he’s not a baller anymore. He’s an entertainer.
That being said, he needs time on a couch.
Perhaps he’s just a big Flaming Lips fan.
Of course, that would make him a furry, so I guess that doesn’t change the final analysis.
Touching on what Sculptor said in the Last Call TPP post….
It was a sad day when the Dugout sold out and went to Fanhouse. Now, they still churn out an enjoyable panel here and there, and I read it on a daily basis, but nothing like the Progressive Boink days. Not even close.
B and his crew were quite creative, but yes. I think they didn’t have much of a choice but to go to Fanhouse.
It was that, or lawsuit for using AOL style properties.
Was it really to that point?
I wasn’t aware of that.
Surprised Yahoo didn’t get them too for the Wahoo Messenger.
I don’t know if it was said, but you go back to the last P-Boink Dugout, and you could tell it was implied.
Yeah, it was a sad day when Prof. Farnsworth could no longer swear…
And when Nick D stopped doing them. He was great for the Young brothers. Didn’t he have some personal things that made him quit?
I’ve been an Indians fan since the day I was born. If my father were still alive to see what they have done the last 2 years he would have shot someone.
Man, just when I think I have it bad being a Mets/Jets/Knicks/Rangers fan, I have Cleveland to keep me in perspective. I feel for you, I really do.
If I were a New York man those would be my teams too. Except for the Knicks. I really don’t like them.
Ugh. I can’t stand NY teams. Which is why when I moved to CT in 1980, I chose to be a Red Sox fan when I discovered MLB (in 1981)
I sent my buddy a text a couple of hours ago….”Fuck it. Go Yankees. AND Go Red Sox.”
The truly bad part, folks, about the Lee trade. Is that Philly has enough to trade to possibly get Halliday.
Are the Phillies turning into the blue-collar Yankees?
Of course they have enough for Halliday. The Indians took NOTHING. We got a freaking A baller. AND another fucking catcher. We are apparently trying to get the monopoly on EVERY FUCKING CATCHER in the minor leagues. FUCK
//i’m sorry
The bad part is, we didn’t need enough of a reason for the “Philly Crew” to turn into even bigger dickheads.
They get Halliday, and we’ll never hear the end of it over on that site.
This is true. But I wouldn’t really blame them. I’m not sure how I would act if I was in their shoes because that will never happen, but I’m pretty sure I’d be a bit of a dick too.
Oh, for reals. Cleveland would become the mecca of dickheads OVERNIGHT if something like that happened. Would make Boston look like a handful of well behaved English school children.
Buffalo would burn if the Bills or Sabres won it all.
Literally. And like Cleveland, it would probably be for the best.
True. We would be bad. But to compare us to Boston fans! That’s hitting below the belt!!!!
My sympathies to the betrayed known as Indians fans.
But at least you’re not in last in the AL Central at this point, with a manager whose only redeeming quality is that he inherited Morgan Earp’s mustache.
/pulls Royals hat back over face
This is true. What happened to that fast start this year? I’m sorry… that was mean.
Sports Illustrated put Zack Greinke on their cover, and Joe Posnanski wrote a terrific article on Pro-Zack.
In summary, fuck SI in the shorts.
JoePos is one of my favorite sportswriters, but dude needs to stay the fuck away from SI cover stories.
/thanks for jinxing the Cavs
I really do hate shooting down LWBH’s argument against the Mets, but… He talks about we should feel sorry for the Jays.
I do call bullshit. One of his points is stating that the Mets have rings. Well, so do the Jays. Jays won it in 1992 and 1993. Both over the Braves.
Mets won theirs in 1969 and 1986. So, really? C’mon, Rookies.
I generally think it’s borderline impossible for anyone outside the tri-state area to feel bad for a New York team. I’d say I’d root for all New York teams to lose every game, but when they play the Red Sox, I root for the proverbial 0-0 tie with lots of injuries.
I usually root for meteor or comet in any games involving Mets/Yankees, Yankees/Mets, Red Sox/Mets, or Red Sox/Yankees.
Hello ladies.

My thoughts on the Lee trade:
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Other than that, things are peachy.
Yeah, I wonder if the Lee trade was sponsored by Jack Daniels or Jim Beam. Because I’m certain the alcohol sales in Cuyahoga County just increased by a factor of 10.
Jim Beam. You folks are closer to Kentucky, so they got the first shipments to the Cleveland fans.
When Atlanta does something stupid, Warren County, TN considers it better than the lottery. IE: Michael Vick’s dogfighting verdict for Falcons fans.
Close, it was Evan Williams.
I should’ve known that – I’ve got a bottle of their 10 yr sitting in the kitchen.
Great Lakes is gonna have to work overtime to keep up with demand in the next week.
They just began a special vat of Christmas Ale.
Since when do they brew CA so early?
They don’t. They save a specific number of kegs for mid – july and a lot of bars in the area have Christmas in July.
And I’ve never had the Sierra Nevada Celebration so I can’t compare it, but man I look forward to Christmas Ale as much as Christmas itself.
Aha. I did not know that. We buy at least two cases every year and hoard it like Dragon’s gold.
Best seasonal ale ever, Sierra Nevada Celebration. Cannot beat it.
This place should install a Celebrity Hot Tub.
I wanted to find that video, too. Next Last Call I get to host, you’ll get that.
Drive through that storm tonight was a blast. I don’t think i’ll ever drive 30 mph on the AC expressway again.
ha. how long did it take you?
Evening last callers. Nice place. Where all da white women at?
Just kidding. Also thank you Cleveland for making the Phillies even better. (fuckers) Oh well at least he did not go to the Yankees.
I’m large enough to count for at least two white women…
Disagree.
Well hello there cutie, when did you sneak in?
And okay, fine. 1.5 white women.
Like a total of 2.5 hours from wildwood to 5 minutes past KOP. GPS said it should have taken 2 hours 2 minutes so it was that bad.
Oh yeah and since i’m sure i missed the discussion one or both of the last 2 nights…but…
NO MORE BRETT FAVRE. At least until he decides to un-retire next week.
Oh and the Vick situation is BS. He shouldn’t be suspended.
Agreed. Though, in reality, the suspension is for show more than anything else as doesn’t prevent him from getting paid and only prevents him from playing in at most 5 games, which he probably wouldn’t be ready for anyway.
Yet Brandon Marshall beats his girlfriend every night and only got 1 game. We’ll see what happens i hear the Steelers are looking at Vick. That would make every Sunday a bit more interesting.
I’m off to a friend’s house to drink and not think about baseball. Stay strong, Tribe fans: Booze is your friend, Mark Shapiro is decidedly not.
Neither is Dolan.
Evening, cockgoblins. Anyone read Simmons’ latest diddy? Something has gone horribly awry when my only reaction to a column heaping undue praise on a movie I actually like (Almost Famous) is how horribly flawed the premise of said column is.
Does Bill Kurtis think he is so teflon that these stupid internet commercials won’t make him look like an impotent doofus? If so, he would be incorrect.
I love those commercials! The one with the leprechauans, and Bigfoot. I laughed.
PS for anyone who’s upset about the Phillies fans will dominating “that other site,” rest assured that I can terrorize this site as well.
Ha. We loaned out Jimmy for the night. You probably don’t want him to have to get up…
FYI, Budget Truck Rental is a shitty, shitty company, and as far as I’m concerned can go fornicate themselves with a molten iron rod.
I have found that to be the case with just about every rental company I have ever used.
most try to screw you a bit, I’ll admit. But Budget went out of their way today. The franchise I was supposed to get the truck from was a shed on a barbed-wire fenced in dirt lot with ONE truck (the largest- I rented the smallest box truck) parked inside (but not completely, it was knocking over part of the fence) and a bunch of rusted trailers. The shed had bars over any orifice over 5″ large, and the whole place looked as if it hadn’t been used in at least 5 years. But my rental was sent to the wrong franchise, as customer service was so happy to inform me, then proceeded to argue with me over the discount they promised me last week because I had to change the reservation since I’d already lost my ride to pick up the truck. Stay classy, Budget.
Good evening Last Callers.
Nice place. Can I light the couch on fire?
Hmm. Everton in the white away jerseys. They’re not entirely horrible. Just mostly.
Actually they’re training shirts. Someone said they lost their luggage
And yet they look better than 99.99% of MLS uniforms.
Ah, thank you. I didn’t think those were the actual aways – but i didn’t even think of practice jerseys.
And TIMMMMAY
If I buy a full price ticket to this game, how many of my wives get in for free?
Well, it’s still a shit economy. My guess is it’s more like buy three tickets, the fourth wife gets in free.
Oh, and a secondary question – what are they doing for ‘fun’? Mormons don’t smoke, drink, or swear. That’s gotta be a pretty lame crowd…
Well, I see I’ve successfully driven everyone away again!
Oh, stop it. Right now. Look at the time stamps, it’s been the two of us watching this match an kibbitzing for a while now…
so, um, I’ll share the blame?
Nevertheless, I think I’m going to go pout and wait for the hate mail to come in when people see how difficult (and possibly evil) tomorrow’s challenge is at ATD.
Oh, fine. Be that way, leave me here all alone.
/pouty face
can i have a sneak peek at the quiz? i’ve no hope anyway, but i could use a laugh
Hahahaaa, that was ugly keeping by the USA.
Alright all. I’m going to meet some buddies at the bar, get drunk(er) and go find Shapiro. Have a great night.
Wow, what a cheap goal on Howard.
Alright, folks. I have to do that work bullshit. Use the bathroom if you must, but I can’t promise that nobody won’t come after you with a shotgun.
Take care.
Time to get some sleep too… and, now that JB is gone…
/lights couch on fire.
/giggles like a schoolgirl
/leaves out a side door.
G’nite folks.
State of the MLSnion with Don Garber? LAME. Changing to fútbol en Español.
He’s gone now, it’s safe to come out from under the bed.
Found the MLS All-Star Game on Galavision – that’s actually pretty cool. I don’t think they’ve carried it in the past…
…so now I can watch and not put up with JP Dramacamera and the other four-letter lackeys. Huzzah!
Oh, nevermind, they brought out Lalas.
must. resist. urge. to. kill.
Hello all–Red Stripe anyone?
thanks, but i’ll pass. just h20 for me.
how’s things?
great–summer is here, but this political mess that has originated from here is a definite mess–let it be over soon pls! And the Sox–lets not go there…
Speaking of, did you get up here yet?
Does Allan Hopkins walk out with the rest of the small children dressed in a team kit during the players’ entrance before the game? I think he could get away with it.
He knows as much about soccer as they do.
I gotta admit, i’m diggin’ the drum corps at this match.
Well THIS is interesting. emergency keeper…
And I love that we are at James Browns’ site–he has my most fave avatar of recent memory
I confess to not kowing what it is. Although that’s true for about 90% of them – they’re too damn small to properly parse (and that’s true of almost every website/blog)
Oh Come ON. Really? A yellow for that? Pish.
Hey yo, what is/was the word?
Pretty quiet in here, actually. I’m watching the footy match; i think most everyone else is passed out.
As much as I love American soccer, I really should watch more MLS. Club America and San Luis did each score in the last 10 minutes to liven up their draw.
TIMMAY!
Okay people, I’m going up to the studio for a bit. catch you later!
Whut it be shitchargers???
As a fellow midwesterner allow me to please give my condolences to Cleveland fans. You guys must have to wear a cup at all times by law don’t you? Jebus christ in a pickle bucket.
What else happened while I was away? Or did I miss the Last Call soul train tonight?
/uh! good gawd!
//sorry
Anybody up, or did I show up far too late again?
