@Shogun: I think I might have gotten carried away trying to write something about creepy uncles... But thanks for the kudos! Re: the viagra ads- I find it funny that the two side effects they warn you most of are a four hour erection and loss of vision... I think they know their market pretty well- middle aged men who want to fuck like teenagers but don't want to have to look at their wives! Boom tish! So I guess this is where my brain goes when I'm not worrying about Prince's slump or what 2 starter to pick up. Yeesh.

@cubbies299: Maybe the men wouldn't be impotent if their fantasy wasn't baseball. Speaking of Viagra -- Vlad's got one good leg and he's not wearing shoes on it. What? What did I say?

Also. Am I the only one that finds it disturbing that Viagra has chosen the MLB playoffs as the perfect target audience with to launch a massive new ad campaign? I feel the need go to rub one out for all those that watch our nation’s pastime

@royce!: You’re a funny mf. That bit about your uncle creeped me out. And I don’t even know him!

@Grey: He picked a pretty crappy time to start regressing to his mean.

@royce!: "If Torre brings in Saito, I’m gonna be at home yelling, “Big money! Big Money! No Kazaamies!”" -- Ha! That's great! Tonight looked like the Dempster that I thought would be there all summer.

Whew… Maddux.

EDIT: That first sentence makes more sense without the “his.”

@Grey: Pretty daring on his Torre's part. Although it doesn't look like a closer will be necessary tonight. If Torre brings in Saito, I'm gonna be at home yelling, "Big money! Big Money! No Kazaamies!"

@royce!: @Steve: Torre actually announced before the game that Saito would close. I must've missed it.

@Grey: Terrorists must be behind this. Frank's commercials are like the video in The Ring, or the exact opposite of the video in Infinite Jest. I was totally wrong about Broxton (unless he's going to pitch 2 innings). Guess that's why I didn't win my league.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 01:16:07 +0000

@royce!: And half his jokes are about how omnipresent he is, so he knew he was going to be annoying the crap out of people. So they sat down and said, "Frank, we're thinking about advertising you to the point where people want to blow their brains out, do you have material for that?" "I can figure something out." EDIT: Typo. Dur.

royce! — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 01:12:43 +0000

What is it with all these Frank TV commercials? Doesn’t TBS have any other shows? Does Frank have pics of Ted Turner being tied up by a dominatrix dressed in nazi regalia or something? Blackmail is the only explanation.

@Grey: The impersonation I was imagining would put a stop to all of his impersonations. W. does look good. But I'll watch anything with Elizabeth Banks, even if she's playing a woman in her fifties. @Steve: Gotta be Broxton. I don't think Saito has earned it back yet.

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:38:17 +0000

@Steve: Think the Dodgers go to Broxton.

By: Steve

Steve — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:22:07 +0000

Assuming they hold the lead, who closes for the Dodgers? Hard to trust either Broxton or Saito…

By: Grey

Grey — Thu, 02 Oct 2008 00:15:14 +0000

@royce!: As long as stops the Madden and W. impersonation. Speaking of which, have you seen the trailer for W.? Looks awesome. Loney? Zoinks!

@Grey: Totally agree. I thought nothing could be worse than those Dane Cook playoff commercials. Boy was I wrong. Frank should do an impersonation of Chris Farley.

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:41:31 +0000

@royce!: Yeah, he's totally turning into Kirby Puckett. BTW, 1st day of the playoffs, already sick of Frank TV commercials.

@Steve: Yeah, the Division Series are on TBS here. I think it moves to Fox for the Championship Series and World Series, so you might be able to catch those.

By: Steve

Steve — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:08:32 +0000

@royce!: I'm assuming it has something to do with rights. We normally get the World Series, but are the playoffs broadcast on another network? As far as writing to Helen Clark goes, if I'm sending a strongly-worded letter to her, I've got a lot more things to include than just the lack of baseball on New Zealand television.

@Grey: Perhaps that explains his burgeoning girth. It's not fat, just helium. I guess they'd have to have a team of balloon wranglers, then. Or a brigade.

By: royce!

royce! — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 23:02:03 +0000

@Steve: Wow, that's unfortunate. No wonder the U.S. has a poor reputation abroad. Maybe we can get Obama and McCain to address this in the next debate. Or you could send a strongly worded letter to Helen Clark. (Thank you, wikipedia!)

By: Grey

Grey — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:57:46 +0000

@royce!: Tony Gwynn sounds like he just sucked three balloons of helium. @Steve: What? You were already eliminated from your WNBA fantasy league?

By: Steve

Steve — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:40:14 +0000

Grrr. No baseball playoffs on ESPN here. Just the WNBA playoffs. Whoop-de-f******-do.

By: royce!

royce! — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 22:39:52 +0000

Holy Shizz! Tony Gwynn AND Ron Darling are broadcasting the Dodgers/Cubs game. This is going to be amazing. Not as amazing as it would have been with just Scully, but close.

@Grey: Too bad he's not sitting on your old sofa. That would be super trippy! You could see through his chest! Plus, he's got the sketchball uncle look down good. When we hang out he sneaks me sips off his high life. The beer tastes so good I can overlook the mustache hairs on the can. Sheeeeeeeeeeeit. I just creeped myself out.

@royce!: His tie actually looks my old sofa.

@Grey: Sounds like the name of my first born! Seriously, though, I think I just had an acid flashback staring into Dennis Eckersley's tie.
