The Swamp

Just so it's clear I was joking with the "grandpa" comment. Obviously SC can like or not like whatever he wants.

Whoa....slow your roll there, grandpa. The DKs were brilliant. Especially given what largely passed for music during that time period. California Uber Alles is about as close to a perfect punk song as you're going to find on this side of Anarchy For The U.K.

. . . the cable provider I use (Shaw) let's you add (and subtract) individual channels. Heh. Not in the States. This particular consumer freedom of choice is considered blasphemy against capitalism down here. Well, just to clarify, they'll only let you add individual channels if you are already a d...

Nevada's is still the best (and most apt).

We have a mother on HIMYM. This is not a drill.

Boston. Oh Boston.

I wish I was trying the 'ol reverse jinx. I really just don't see how the Wings are going to beat them in a seven-game series. I mean obviously it's hockey and shit happens. The Red Wings won three OT games against Anaheim and obviously if any one of those games goes the other way they're done, so t...

Except this isn't the Wings teams of old, no pun intended. They've got some really young players this trip around. They were lucky to make the playoffs at all and played over their heads in the Anaheim series. They didn't win a game from Chicago all season. Short of some massive goaltending meltdown...

Red Wings now have the most Game 7 wins in NHL history (14). Canadiens have 13, Bruins and Maple Leafs have 12 (with one of them moving to 13 tomorrow obviously).

Driving back from LA, I'm doing some work at a Panera in Bumfuckistan (actually, Victorville) and the guy at the table next to me is conducting job interviews for some shitty cell phone store. Kind of fascinating.

Eh, some of them are pretty cool. He should have stuck to about 10 or 12 if you ask me. The Detroit one is just the city flag on a shield and the Las Vegas one for some reason has a saguaro cactus, which don't exist in Nevada.

I should really go see this this weekend, but I'm kinda busy so I won't but he's a motherfucking genius and I'd love to see him before he's gone pretty soon. I will defend to the death the fact that Jerry Lewis is probably the most underrated entertainer of all-time. And that's before you factor in ...

So the audition went very, very well I thought. Now it is wait and see for the next 18 months. But hopefully soon we will have our second Swamper on Jeopardy.

That's awesome. All y'all married guys with kids out there might want to put in your orders for flowers right now.

Appreciate it, but I haven't even left LV yet so I'll have to catch the game on the radio for the most part. I gots to work all day today and then hit the road. So I won't get in until 9 or so once I stop for dinner and stuff. I don't like Stella myself so I can't take any of them off your hands, bu...

You can help yourself to some from my fridge.

Just don't drink them all during the Wings game tonight.

That's the only way I'd be able to get through a 4-year-old's birthday party.

I thought the ending implied that everyone died eventually, even the people who made it off. Not necessarily that they all died on the island like Jack and most of the others. (Not "The Others")

So my Jeopardy audition is tomorrow. Wish me luck. Thinking about having a few beers at lunch tomorrow to be loose and conversational. It works for Captain Karl, so it can't fail me.

Heh, I just coming here to post that. Not smart to emulate Charles Rogers' life path, kid.

I'm not sure it's better or worse for the filmmakers if by some miracle the Indians or Browns actually win a title this year.

Didn't he do most of the effects for the 1980 Clash of the Titans movie?

ESPN planning a 30 for 30 for next year to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the last Cleveland pro sports title.

I think the question we're all wondering is what exactly IS Jim Tressel's involvement in all of this? Accomplice? Mastermind?

The locker room aspect kind of reminds me about the shop aspect when DADT was still a thing in the military. Everyone knew someone who was gay. In fact, there were open gays I knew of that kind of dared someone to speak out about them. The burden of proof was on the accuser. The other aspect of DAD...

Miguel Cabrera's slash stats with RISP this year (52 PAs):

.548/.615/.857

Yeah, Matt Groening's Mom died. He named the characters on the show after his family.

Ohio, man.

Fuckin' Ohio.

Damn. Phosphorescent with the best song I've heard all year - Song For Zula

This may be getting out of hand of the Canucks You know they are losing composure when the Sedins , of all players, start throwing cheap shots. Really pleased with how the Sharks are playing. I suspected that the Canucks were a favorable matchup, as San Jose does better against skating teams like V...

Carlos Pena breaks it up with 1 out in the 7th. Makes things easy on Leyland. Bullpen will get the last 2 innings.

98 through 6 without a hit. He has at least 32 pitches to play with. Probably a few more than that.

87 pitches through 5. What say you DSafe? How many pitches will Leyland give JV if he needs to? I'm thinking 140.

Damn, Cabrera with a hell of a play to keep Astros hitless.

A day after beating Houston 17-2 it's 8-0 in the 4th inning today. Oh and Verlander is pitching for Detroit. Umps should just invoke a mercy rule and let's call it a weekend.

I've been following this story a few days ... a 17-year-old kid was unhappy after being shown the yellow card, so he punched the ref. The ref is now in a coma. http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865579385/Family-waits-as-father-punched-by-soccer-player-remains-in-coma.html" onclick="windo...

Not exactly breaking news, but Miguel Cabrera is good at baseball. He had 5 PAs tonight and had an RBI in all of them. (4-for-4, 1 walk, 2 HRs, 6 RBI.)

He's batting over .500 with RISP this season.

Hey Giff -- this is going to sound sarcastic, but I promise you it isn't, but I really like this Astros team. I'm going to be rooting my ass off for them when they're not playing the Tigers. They remind me a lot of the 2003 Tigers team in all of the good and bad ways, but that's one of my favorite T...

In my defense, while I get that this was satire, it definitely seemed plausible. About 99 percent of the Onion's stories are obviously satire. This one wasn't exactly over the top.
