Random selection from my ipod from whence you mightdivine inspiration to underscore a narrative thread about the contest tonight:
What's My Name by The Clash from their self-titled debut
I tried to join a ping-pong club,
sign on the door said all full up!
I got nicked, fighting in the road
and the judge didn't even know
What's my name

Dive
Dive for the ball you asshat! Didn't you watch the Jays last night, throwing their bodies all over the place and saving runs? It's not like if you get hurt the team is going to suffer.Grrrrr....
Hate and War
The only thing I got today....
Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
Ersty makes that catch
no questionSean @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
Something Wong
I had heard she was a bitter pill at times.Okay, just exactly how wilfully stupid is Rex Hudler? We have to be patient with Finley? Tut-tutting about how people want "instant gratification?" It's August 18, you stupid corksucker!
Sean @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
FINLEY
won't dive, pops up - and the AUTOMATIC Rex Hudler apology - Hudler sounded like a guy who talks nervous to the cops while his friend is holding up the 7-11 - rattled on, reflexively, nervoulsy, high pitched voice, you could almost hear the sweat drip - it was just TO weird - and suspicious.Rev Halofan - August 18, 2005
apologia
Maybe (hopefully?) Hudler recognizes Finley as his mirror image -- a mediocre 40-year-old on his way out of an otherwise classy organization....mattwelch - August 18, 2005
The Punter, yeah.....
he'd have made a dive for that ball, but that's the problem. Besides being one of the best 1B in baseball, he's there so he doesn't spend half the season on the DL. All this talk of moving him to CF scares the shit out of me.I hate Hudler and Physioc with the fire of all the suns in the known universe. It's as if having to actually do a ball game gets in the way of bouncing kids on their knees and interviewing media ho's for Fox bullshit. Gah. Fire them both, stat.
It's hard to imagine but the Angels once had Dick Engberg (in his prime) and Don Drysdale calling games. Now these two asshats are doing it.
Hate and war
I hate Physioc
Hate and war
He's just as bad Rex
Hate and war
I hate all their talking
Hate and war
I wouldn't even have sex
Hate and war
With either of those gasbags
Hate and war
Who piss me off so bad
Hate and war
I just wish they'd shut the fuck up
Hate and war
They're really, really sad
Sorry, "sex" is the only think I could think of that rhymes with "Rex". It scans OK, I guess.
Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
You like the word "asshat", don't you?

Who doesn't!?
Pearly Gates - August 18, 2005
Finley at the plate
Steve K. Finley, that is.scareduck - August 18, 2005
Blasphemy
Dear Jesus,Please come back to earth and shoot Steve Finley in the kneecaps.
Your pal,
Sean
Sean @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
... more specifically ...
... with your laser vision.scareduck - August 18, 2005
He didn't come through, I assume?
When I saw that it was Finley up, I just assumed a double play would be forthcoming, so I left the room.Pearly Gates - August 18, 2005
Um.....
There's a lot of weird people with too much time on their hands and HTML skills in this world, isn't there?Sorry, I'll try to vary my invective.
Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
May I suggest...
..."dickbag".Pearly Gates - August 18, 2005
CF
Sorry to return to the subject of baseball, but why doesn't Scoscia just play DorkVannon there unless he does a Chone CF/Maicer 3B thing?Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
I don't think Mike much cares for DaVanon
The .355 doesn't impress him much.Pearly Gates - August 18, 2005
Hahahahaha!
The Angels should sign Manny--he'd fit right in their outfield.Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
Good hustle Manny!
Pearly Gates - August 18, 2005
Yes!
Put this baby to bed. Oh wait, the Arson Squad might still get involved in this.Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
Juan Rivera
Finally, somebody figures out how to Finley-proof a rally!Sean @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
OBP
With the rise of sabremetrics, I've become an anti-stats person. What's considered a good OBP? Thanks.Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
Like Teddy Ballgame
.400Rev Halofan - August 18, 2005
The Angels' team OBP is .325
And Guerrero leads the team with a .386. So DaVanon stacks-up pretty darn well.Pearly Gates - August 18, 2005
A great inning
Rev Halofan - August 18, 2005
Yikes!
So Finley's .271 OBP really sucks, eh? :-)Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
Donkey Dick
Rev Halofan - August 18, 2005
The Punter...
keep the boy at 1B. DaVannon, Chone, Rivera, whoever, can play CF.Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
Que?
"Donkey dick"? Say what?Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
You asked if it sucked
and I got specific.Rev Halofan - August 18, 2005
Ahhh..
sorry, I thought you were talking about Jim Thome. :-)Jim @ Halos Heaven - August 18, 2005
Light up the halo
