We are so in phase

Bill:
The Red Sox sure picked an opportune time to get hot — scoring double-digit runs in four straight games for the first time since 1950.

Doug:
I'm in the most unusual circumstance of having nothing to bitch about.

 

---

Doug:
Think about it. A week ago we led the division by four, a week latah, we've essentially doubled it.

 

---

Bill:
Did you see Ozzie Guillen's post-sweep comment? "They swept us this time [but] I swept them in the big one. That's when it counts."

 

---

Doug:
Shit, that Kung Fu is so weak.

 

---

Bill:
Yeah, Ozzie should stick to what he does best, insulting the gays.

 

---

Doug:
So even though this Yankees series has lost much of its drama in the last couple days, you've gotta love the pitching matchups …

 

---

Bill:
Absolutely. Andy Pettitte against Matsuzaka in the opener, Clemens vs. Beckett Wednesday night, and Everybody Wang Chung vs. Tampa Bay Schill Thursday afternoon.

 

---

Doug:
I bet your Yankees fan pal, Mahty, is wetting his pants right about now.

 

---

Bill:
Naw, you kidding me, you know how delusional Yankees fans can be … He's probably thinking this is the perfect setup for a dramatic "Mystique and Aura" exculpation.

Yeah, that's the one I was reading up on earlier when I mentioned the NCAA. Thanks for those links, SDU.

Any MST3K fans out there? This discussion seems like it bears comparison to Mike Nelson's current venture: Rifftrax (rifftrax.com). Rifftrax sells audio of Mike Nelson and friends mocking movies modern and "classic" (Independence Day has been my favorite Rifftrax thus far). You are asked to pause the audio file on your computer, wait for the movie to hit a certain landmark (the opening title, for instance), and then play the audio file so that the two are synced. Since the audio file does not contain the movie audio, it avoids licensing issues (I presume).

I do wonder how close you could come to describing the game's events before you cross into gray territory. It doesn't seem like it's much of an intrusion onto MLB's money, and I think that's the main issue.

Not quite a word, but I encounter a really fun accidentally dirty abbreviation in my work... any time a paper from Analytical Biochemistry gets cited, the journal title is shortened to Anal Biochem. Good times.

devine - thanks for the heads up on Rifftrax! I'm a casual MSTie and it sounds like I'd love that. I also got a kick out of Wizard People, Dear Reader (an, er, alternate soundtrack to the first Harry Potter film).

yanks blanked bigtime.
A-rod couldn't even salve his ego with a homer.
Do I hear 8?

Radio play by play would be cool...it would be like Mystery Science Theater 3000 for baseball. It would probably be more fun to mock the actual play-by-play, especially on the down-time.

Sorry Devine...I missed your comment. Yes and yes.
