Heavy on the mustard

Doug:
Cancel the forensic scientists, l'affaire de la chaussette has been resolved.

Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
What amuses me most about the call for DNA testing and to some extent Schilling's own terse response is that it wouldn't necessarily prove anything.

 

---

Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
I mean why would Schilling use paint instead of his own blood if he were to fake it?

 

---

Doug:
Seriously, as many a 14-year old girl can tell you, blood letting isn't especially difficult.

 

---

Doug:
So are you ready for another weekend sweep, Arturo?

 

---

Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
Beware the reverse sweep is what I'm thinking.

 

---

Doug:
Jeez, who put the sour in your kraut? The Sox are rolling.

 

---

Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
You're still too wet behind the ears to get it: The Yankees are not going to drop numbahs 7, 8, and 9 in a row. It just doesn't happen.

 

---

Doug:
OK, so they are facing Batshit Tavarez in this series, 2 out of 3 then for us.

 

---

Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
I'm thinking if we get out of there with 1 we'll be lucky. Wakefield has been very effective against the Yankees, Aaron Boone notwithstanding.

 

---

Doug:
What, no love for Matsuzaka?

 

---

Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
To me it looked like the Yankees had a good read on him last week, now facing him for the second time 5 days latah? Tonight could get really ugly really fast.

 

---

Doug:
Jeez, it's bad enough I'm going to ingest mystery meat products stuffed into a synthetic collagen casing, but I've got to take your doom and gloom, too? Jeez.

Arturo, the hot dog vendor:
Hey, you can always go visit the fish taco guy instead. No one's got a gun to your head.

Well, the Yankees did lose #s 7 and 8, so...

Also, R.I.P. Josh Hancock.

Look at your calendars, kids, ratchet down the testosterone a little and go visit the fish taco guy. As CSNY said, "We have all been here before." The wisdom of Arturo will be proven in September --"beware the reverse sweep." Thunder has spoken.

what the thunder really said:

my friend, blood shaking my heart
the awful daring of a moment's surrender
which an age of prudence can never retract.

By this, and this only, we have existed.

TWL, TSE

good point though.

As the thunder recalls from his misspent youth, the actual words were "my friend, my friend, beating in my heart," subsequently edited by the notoriously fascist, homophobic and self-important Pound. The thunder ALSO said, "Turning and turning in the widening gyre, Vick cannot hear the falconer. Things fall apart, the centre cannot hold, the ball is fumbled and the blood dimmed tide is loosed." The point to remember, kids, is that your ceremony of innocence will soon be drowned and the rough beast slouching towards Boston must surely be wearing pinstripes. Again, The Thunder has spoken.
