Getting their groove on
Mike:
Wow, when was Lestah in a groove or what?
Doug:
Groove Armada, baby.
Al:
Christ, I don't want to jinx it or anything, but these sonzabitches are flirting with .500 again.
Mike:
You know, when this season opened in Texas, I think we all thought .500 would be a momentary point of inflection in the arc toward a steady .600 to .615 trek.
Al:
Seriously. 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, 5-2, 6-2... so on and so forth.
Doug:
Who knew .500 would be such a ball breakah.
Al:
I know this is way worse than popping off champagne for winning the Wild Card, but if and when these guys crack that victory barriah, I think a celebration is in order.
Mike:
Agreed. If nothing else, I think we need to release some pent up steam. Any suggestions?
Doug:
Funny you should ask.
Al:
When that little dude jumps in the back of the cah at the end, I confess it's oddly satisfying.
Mike:
Hell yeah. That little dude put the "no" in denouement.
Doug:
And by "no" you mean "Oh, no he di'int!"
Mike:
Absolutely.
And women wonder what men do on camping trips.
Lester was outstanding last night. Of course it WAS the Angels who we beat up like Billy Zabka, but still.

From the Herald:
Crawford, with a game-winning RBI on Sunday, has gone 6-for-11 and, along with Ellsbury, the two have gone a combined 10-for-23 (.435). Each has scored or knocked in a run in each of the three games.
I have half a chub.

Well, I don't care if it rains molesters
Long as I have my plastic Lester
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through all trials and tribulations,
We will travel every nation,
With my plastic Lester I'll go far.
Plastic Lester, plastic Lester
Riding on the dashboard of my car
Through my trials and tribulations,
And my travels thru the nations,
With my plastic Lester I'll go far

Have I mentioned lately just how annoying I find Bob's furniture ads? (Bob, I really hope it is an entirely different Bob!)

I'm coming out with a Bob-O-Pedic Real Doll soon, Steve.

OMFG, Steve. I seriously can't stand Bob, his bright yellow shirt, his singing bureuas, the annimated (claymation?) version of himself, his insidious girlfriend or wife, and his cheap-as-shit furniture. I usually at least mute the commercials or turn the station altogether.
Too bad we don't play the Angels about 50 times a season.

My wife prefers hockey and basketball to baseball on TV. Of course this is all predicated on the idea that there's no football on because football comes first, what do you think we are, fucking french or something gay like that? Anyhow when the Celtics game got too depressing we flipped the channel over to the Sawx, nice night, Bard's pitching, 3-1 ballgame, green grass, quiet, and my wife says, "there is something to be said for baseball."

I want so of what those guys are on.
Go Bruins. And Sox.

Wow LC,I haven't thought of that song in years. Brings back memories ;)

We in CT have been suffering with Bob's (Furniture Bob, that is)inanities for years. I'm surprised it took you guys this long to be annoyed by him. And true or not, I have been told that blondie is just a part-time actress, not physically involved with Furniture Bob.

Which makes it just that much worse...

That's hilarious, Bob. I was on a conference call with my boss when your Real Doll post popped up and I had to go "mute" until I stopped laughing.

I'll give Bob's Stores top marks for value, but bottom marks for their commercials. (NiRoPe have him beat senseless in that area).
The pessimist in me says that the Sox are 8-15 against teams from outside of Orange County. I will now drink beer until the pessimist in me shuts the heck up.
Happy RI Independence day!

I miss Dean's Home Furniture commercials.

Sullivan (of the Tires) has the worst jheri curl/afro combo - just kills those commercials.

If Lucchino's significant other made on-line porno movies, he'd sell advertising space on his/her rump.
