I'll root for the Red Sox because it makes MFY fans that much more miserable. If Cleveland wins, I'm behind them for the World Series.

Oh and Tony Gwynn looks like he ate himself.

I get the feeling he listens to tapes of Joe Buck and wishes he were him. One of Chip's most glaring errors was when he named Kei Igawa as one of the Yankees' young, home grown prospects. The "Here come the Yankees!" bit annoyed me too. It's a single Chip. Calm the fuck down. On Edit: He also creamed himself calling Johnny Damon's running catch in the 9th. It was a nice catch, but you would have thought he pulled an Endy listening to hit.

I saw it this weekend. I don't know if I just wasn't in the mood but it didn't do much for me at all. It had a couple funny moments (like the bouncer scene) but overall, it was just bland. Seth Rogen should be a supporting character, not the lead.

Edgy DC wrote: Well, directors often are forced to make their films with the studios gus to their heads, and don't have the juice to make the film that they want to until years later. And then they make it demonstrating that the studio guys were right all along.

Oh, and I agree wholeheartedly about Gladiator. Great performances by Crowe, Richard Harris, and a good job by Joaquin Phoenix too. It was a good movie, but I am frustrated because it could have been a great movie. They built up to the big showdown where Maximus's army was gathering, but then they rob us of this epic battle based upon something a little boy lets slip in front of Phoenix's character (can't remember his name). Awful. We deserved that scene. And to deprive us of it based upon coincidence. I wanted to walk out right there. It was hokey that it came down to Crowe versus Phoenix one-on-one at the end. Characters who stab their opponent before a showdown never let themselves be put in mortal danger. It's out of character and too convenient.

Great post Vic. I remember people saying that "GI Jane" would end up being one of those great Ridley Scott movies that no one sees. It ended up being the opposite. And there should be some sort of law preventing a director from going back and "fixing" movies afterwards. I just don't understand why this practice is accepted at all. You don't see authors going back and re-writing books. Artists don't touch up paintings or add elements after it's been sold. I don't see why movies should be any different. Once it's out there, it's subject to the interpretation of the audience and then you lose control over it. You don't get to go back and say "No, I meant this..."

No. The Yankees middle relievers are named Mistake. You must be thinking of someone else.

This is just me, but if I were trading the best pitcher on the planet, I'd want someone who had a good season in return.

I doubt the Mets would offer more than the option. I think if he passes, the Mets and Glavine are done.

Glavine wins without ever having won any particular month.

Don't let the door hit you asshole. Back home in Atlanta following the New York Mets' historic collapse, Tom Glavine said Tuesday he'll "most likely" decline his $9 million player option for next season. "I have five days at the end of our season to accept or decline [the option]," Glavine said from his Alpharetta, Ga., home. "Most likely, I'll decline it." "I still enjoy pitching. I enjoy that day when I go out there trying to execute a game plan. I still enjoy that, and that's not going to go away anytime soon. But does that enjoyment outweigh my, well, not dislike, but my lack of enjoyment the other four days a week when I'm away from home?" "Atlanta is home. The hardest thing for me in New York is playing and being away from home. I've played in New York for five years now. If you break it down [in days, weeks and months], I've been away from my home for four years now. I'm at the point where my wife and kids [ages 13, 12, 8 and 6] are making sacrifices for me."

Top of the order. Ten run inning coming up.

My time after work shouldn't be the worst part of my day. I wonder what else is on TV.
