big game II: the game just got bigger

we get a shoutout from shaq:
@XYTREX, I MISS SEATTLE 2, REMEMBA RAIN MAN AND GP 7:36 PM Nov 23rd from web in reply to Xytrex

at least there's this:

The UW women's cross-country team caps off a season for the ages by winning the first NCAA title in program history.

'The text messages looked like they had been written by a seven-year-old it was dreadful English and they mentioned Portugal.
‘They were very coyly written. They were things like: “Do you miss me baby? I miss you.”

bye jj

aww, this is sad, i yelled it so many times, my exhortation when he'd come up:

hell yeah i think i'm gonna go see knicks and bulls on mlk day

LOL JOE TORRE

Scorned skipper Joe Torre is blasting the Yankees - calling many of his former players prima donnas, confessing he stopped trusting the powers that be years before he left the team and charging that general manager Brian Cashman betrayed him.

In an explosive new book called "The Yankee Years," Torre gets most personal in his attacks against Alex Rodriguez, who he says was called "A-Fraud" by his teammates after he developed a "Single White Female"-like obsession with team captain Derek Jeter and asked for a personal clubhouse assistant to run errands for him.

it is really surprising to me that torre is kind of jerk, cashman is a weaselly little shit and a-rod is a psycho

the first one was surprising to me

alex rodriguez is so much more than a psycho, it's just one small part of him. watching him, knowing he's overthinking, knowing he's going to fuck up either on the field or off, it's one of the most compelling stories in sports. i feel sorry for him, some times.

and then i remember the purse incident

A Mexican sports daily is pinning its hopes of beating the United States in a World Cup qualifying match on voodoo — with help from a U.S-based electronics chain. An advertisement in the sports daily Record on Tuesday invited fans to clip coupons and redeem them at their local Radio Shack store for a voodoo-doll likeness of a U.S. player.

whoa, karl has some strong feelings:

Griffey. After they remove Cheney’s carcass from the electric chair, they should toss his in it. Don’t do it Seattle. He’s a bum!

jeez karl, it's not like that. pissed he's never won anything? the smile is too sweet?

soooo many bigger bums in baseball

lol karl:

My brackets are a disaster. I want to thank P and N for the Western Kentucky victory. I picked it! I would like to thank L for the UW victory. I’ve got a real bone to pick with K, B, and J with Utah State choking in the last five minutes. Thanks a lot for screwing things up!

maybe i'm getting a little tired of the tilt-shift thing, but this is cool. from last thursday's sounders game

That asshole Travis Metcalf got DFA'd by the Rangers.

After he goes home and packs up all his things I hope someone steals his luggage.
