I think Miz ran a Thursday edition of this last week, so I decided that Wednesday should get it’s own spot as well.
These cats are petty cute, right? Not like this one. Personally, I have always been more of a dog person myself, on account of my allergies. Patphish is the cat person. He has like 20 of them, or something like close to that number. Could be 21? Really not sure. Last time I was at his house, they were all over the place. They were hanging out with the family of opossums. That, and the one pissed off raccoon. And you thought Miz was the redneck.
A few weeks ago I told Miz that when he does TMA, he needs a lots of links, and less commentary. I think he listened.
President Barack Obama took in a basketball game last week, so we had some fun with it in our Weekly Caption.
We are about half-way through our MLB previews after GatorTrey introduced us to the Texas Rangers.
The best new feature is unfortunately at the expense of Miz losing his real job.
We welcomed HuskerDawg, a new addition to the Sparty & Friends staff. Unfortunately it was at the expense of Patphish’s losing this job.
There was no Dud of the day.
Now let’s take a look at what is on the Bewb Tube tonight:

knightro I am going to TRY and get down, I really wanna go. I have a wedding Sat night, but who knows if the Gators make it that far.

Looking forward to the Big East tournament next week. If my friend can’t make it, I will meet you there around noon Sparty.
Looking forward to Lost tonight. The problem with that damn show is that it is like crack once you are hooked.

Gatortrey, I am rooting for Florida. Of course the only reason is that you always root for the OOC teams that your own team (Syracuse) has played since it raises SOS and consequently RPI.
Funny how the Memphis and Kansas early season wins seem even better now.

It’s worse than crack
I’m actually annoyed that i bought Springsteen tickets in April because the show is on a wednesday night and I’ll miss the live airing of LOST

Well Johnny, that is why the good lord in his infinite wisdom invented the DVR. Just have to avoid the rest of humanity until you can watch the episode though. I was really into the show Babylon 5 which is still my favorite sci-fi show of all time but Lost is moving up there.

Your NBA knowledge however, is scary good.”
Wow, at least im consistant.

mikey- i would say that he is more of a college guy. We should have excellent commentary on the World’s Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party.

Quiet NHL trade deadline. Going to mean something for teams come free agency. Especially with a (likely) lower salary cap.

My wife is displeased with me for leaving the game on. And not because it’s basketball

I know. No make HawkEye happy….
(Quote)
Give me a non homer view, sparty. Are some of the calls a little off right now in this game?
(Quote)
seems that way, hawkeye.
(Quote)
Good, then it wasn’t due to maroon and gold glasses.
(Quote)
ugh…i just noticed that Hightower is calling this game. this could go one for another hour.
(Quote)
Greg Kelser is a busy man. He calls a ton of games on Big Ten Network, and he calls games for the Pistons.
(Quote)
Thought I reconginized Hightower’s name from somewhere.
