And it's March.
Good. The season hasn’t started yet.

If only it were that easy
If only all you had to do was concentrate really hard on a date, like Christopher Reeve in “Somewhere in Time” and you could go back.

Wow
now that I see it typed, I realise it makes even less sense in English than it does in Dutch.

Nothing makes sense in other languages
Like in Italian, to say “good luck!” to someone, one says “In the mouth of the wolf!”

Concurrence!
Also, find the plate.
I don’t care if it’s French-style presentation, I want The Sauce on the corner of the plate!

it's not even just being blacked out
it’s the fact that it’s supposedly available in my area if i’m blacked out and i can’t figure out where it is.
Who are the Washington announcers?
The analyst sounds like he’s barely awake.

Lo Duca
is one of them. The other is Johnny Halladay?

I was excited
I love that woodpecker over at the MLB feed room. Maybe I’ll open another MLB page in Firefox and open up XX, and try to mute the video. Hmmmm…
this site runs best in firefox
when we’re riding open threads straight to hell, i don’t notice any real slowdown using the preview of firefox 3.
Does it bother you
that I didn’t know there were actual ads on this page until I had a fresh FF install?

Is Lo Duca retired?
What is he doing in the booth?

That's what I'm trying to figure out

He was placed
on 15 day DL on the 9th of may

And now he's the color TV guy???
That is really, really funny.
Excellent job, Washington Nationals.

Maybe they figure
people will start watching games in the hope that he’ll divulge the extent of his steroid ring on air?
some dinger at-bats would be nice, also

Can somebody explain
Gameday says Wilfredo Ledezma out on a sacrifice bunt, pitcher to second baseman. Wouldn’t he be out at first?

Yeah I had to deduce that as well
considering xx online isn’t working for me. It just shows ‘This is the link to your streaming media’ after the Wells Fargo Ad.

You're not allowed to listen to that stream

They've never let him throw for long.
Long relief, yes. But I don’t think he’s gone more than 6 yet. Then again, he wastes too many pitches when he loses the plate.

Hairston is better defender in LF than Egon.
Pretty obvious…

BB said 7, thinking he was asked what page the wardrobe section of US Weekly was on.

Jeez louise
The sound quality in combination with the content, it’s almost unbearable. But I’m a Padres fan, I’m used to watching ball games while writhing in pain.
Place your bets
How many innings does todays game last? 11, 12, 13+?

I'll go with 11
won’t even feel like its extra innings.
