Extreme Much?

I came across this one this morning. Basically, he is saying that the news media would be vilifying the current Pres if he was a member of the GOP. In theory, to me, this is a good idea. The problem I have with this article however is that it takes all of the wack job, non-run-of-the-mill democrats and uses them as proof. Keith Oberman and Chris Mathews do not, I would like to believe, make up the majority of the party. Just like the Factor and Limbaugh dont necessarily make up the majority of the right. I am sure, given the ambition, I could try and fail to find some examples of the gentler sides of the political spectrum. Unfortunately, there is a ball game on.

Speaking of politics, did you chumps watch the thing with the Pres on TV last night? All was going well until the dude fron the NYT asked that lame ass hippie question about being enchanted. I am sure that they could have found a better journalist to ask a better question than that. Shit, hearing about his new dog would have been better.

Then there is this guy. Whatever gets you reelected to the same money grubbing mongrels that you associate with I guess. I blogged about this dude before. Yet another one trying to cling to his granted authority. Like I said. Whatever works pal.

Long and Hard

Since the last one was so long and difficult to understand, here is what I meant. Look, during the week, it is tough to get past my news reading and hooker killing. Thats why I dont post. My brain is spent. It makes Sunday Ideal.

Here is something to once again fall asleep to.

Dire Straits but in a different generation, and for the people that dont know their best tune.


I dont like pussy-footing around the issue.


I agree with 1 of three


Dont forget that it will all be OK.


Good luck ladies, and may your week be bountiful. Every day is an adventure. (top 5 ever tune)

Sleep well, as knives dont sleep.

Baseball Related

I know that everyone knows this. ESPN needs to pay more attention to the rest of the league. And this is coming from a Yankees fan. While in the tavern last night, I remarked to Chopper that they have been playing the same shots of the Yankee v Red Sox game without spending time with their other big league brethren. That is fucking lame. I say again that is fucking lame. LA spends a lot of money and are good. But we are the four letter network. We only care about 2 teams. The game on Sunday night is cool as again I am a Yankee fan, but taking 2 hours of my time on the two teams before hand is once again fucking lame.

How about that rant for F-Bombs. Anger is good.


Enough. Lets look at the team that really matters... Your Milwaukee Brewers
almost swept Houston for the first time today. Without Neddy Bear, there really isnt anything to bitch about...be honest. But here are some notes to think about.

Manny Parra is a headcase. Not along the same line as Milton Bradley, as Parra is not an asshole. He just tries to be too cute with his pitches. He could get through the opposing lineup twice with a fastball alone but tries to throw too many pitches on the corners. He needs to start to have confidence in his stuff. IE, become a pitcher and not a thrower.

Mike Cameron is having a decent season so far. And he his not striking out...as much. Off topic-the team is not striking out as much. Is this the result of the hitting coach? He was not a good major league hitter. Anyway...He is taking pitches, hitting dingers, and playing the center field that he is paid, albeit too much, for.

Jeff Suppan despite 2 decent starts is still a bum. Enough said.

Dave Bush seems to be benefiting from a beard. Though he most likely will taper off of his torrid pace as a stater, it is good to have him around. A dude I work with will give me shit about saying that tomorrow. Bush and Looper have become the de-facto aces of the staff, and as long as Yovani and these two keep it up, good things will happen.

I could go on, but this is all my hungover mind can do right now. Ryan Braun is starting to find it, and the offense knows it. They probably will not make the playoffs but they will give the
Cubs and the Cardinals a run. The thing is, it is early. Ask me again at the end of May and I will probably tell you different.

Non Baseball.

T squared, for the first time, did not ass-fuck the team this year in the draft. Sure he gave up some picks, but when was the last time he traded up. Two words. Fucking Never. Moving to the 34 defense requires specific players. It is not difficult to play, in fact it may be easier that the 43, if you have the right players. Better to take 2 defensive players rather than 1 offensive one. Unofficial off the record guess...10-6 and a loss on the first round. But at least it is better than last season.

Since we are off the record, here is what Daddy is listening to, and who should be on MTV instead of some shitty fake crap.


For the record they, Green Day, are good, but in the last 10 years have been playing to a 2 faced audience. But whatever works I guess. The same as these guys. The sweet zombie jesus like good punk rock.

Yankees v Red Sox is Not the Whole of Baseball

Try it...

Nothing but a Bohr.

You people and your twittering.

Future?

Some people dont need gimmicks.

Things Take Place

So I am too drunk to give you your only reason for living. deal with it.



Good shit. Thank you. The good shit, even better good shit, will get up today dont you worry.
PS...this guy is more punk rock than you. Think about that.

Twice in One Day

So I had a brush with mans greatest tool twice in one day. First, as I am walking to my car in the morning, I noticed a dumpster fire. So I do the good and call the authorities. They show up after nervous employees in the restaurant where the fire was muttered their various "oh shits." The fire dept came, and put the fire out, but blocked me into my parking lot, making me about a half hour late to work.

Karma went my way around noon today however, when all of the loose scrap paper in the plant behind my office lit up. The alarms went off, and like normal red blooded Americans, we lolly-gagged out the door. The alarm goes off often enough that this is completely acceptable. As we all sauntered out the door, it really did smell like fire. Than we noticed the smoke billowing from one of the dock doors. If you have never seen this, it is really bad ass. To see the charred remains of a bunch of cardboard hauled off to landfill is pretty cool too. Needless to say, I got about an hour and a half off in the middle of the day.

Have you had a brush with death twice in one day during your lazy ass time off buddy?

Note

I dont like small posts, but I am reading a good book

2 free runs is why soupcan is almost useless. 2 starts and he brings it real good. Not to mention the 2 by Julio.

No Catcher??

The latest gem.

Still Hungover

It is proof positive that I cant drink for 12 straight hours.

Fun with robots.

Nerds are cool too.

More from the city that never sleeps.

PSA.

Good thinking.

Church

So...Yet another Wisconsin Winter is pretty much over. How do we know this? Because Brewers baseball is starting back up at home in Milwaukee. A woman I work with jokingly asked if I took today off to go to church. I guess if you consider the bar an alter, beer the sacrificial wine, and giant flat screen TVs the priest, then yes I am going to church. I wont bore you with useless predictions about the season or anything like that. Just know that I plan on getting real drunk. Happy opening day!!

Unfuckingbelievable

Arrogance is not a good quality.

At least this guy admits it.

The best shit from Germany?

Tween book broken down.

Already more from Germany?

Walls made of sound.

The Bums Have Lost Mr. Jenkins

In baseball related news, Jenks was set free by the Phillies. He should now be able to find work as a professional golpher, which really was his true passion all along, what with all of those low inside breaking balls he was prone to swing at.
