This 7th Inning Stretch brought to you by sae and Buzz Beer. Tonight’s babe is dedicated to miz.
Dog days of summer indeed. Starting last week it looks like I no longer have NBA or NHL games to comment on in my slot here. In fact, there’s so little sports to appeal to the masses I could probably write about anything here: erectile dysfunction, male enhancement, or online escort services. (Just trying to see if I can game the advertisements)
On to the baseball action and tonight’s TV viewing, and then a trip to the movies.
Afternoon baseball review
Cardinals were swept. At Busch. In 4 games. By a combined score of 33-9. By the Rockies.
Tigers @ White Sox: First game of a 5 game series. A Fields error in the top of the 9th led to the game winning run for the Tigers.

I’d never heard of the guy, turns out he’s an accountant who embezzled $15. I guess I can live with that. knightwhosaysni(Quote)
fucking brilliant sparty(Quote)
Goddamned right. Bet that was the easiest one on the list to come up with, eh Mikey? Big D(Quote)
kwsn, i was having problems thinking up an accountant. supposedly was one in “the meaning of life” sae(Quote)
yes big d, that was by far the easiest. john’s wasn’t far behind sae(Quote)
something tells me that Big D is more like Worm. sparty(Quote)
Alright! I’m a doctor! JRod(Quote)
I was gonna call out CMFost as Ben from Fever Pitch, but I’m assuming that’s who John is…the IMDB images won’t come up for me for some reason. rekcalsa(Quote)
Nah, I’ve never had to borrow money to go play poker. I consider that a good thing. Big D(Quote)
Hey, it worked. There is a Quantas “Roll over for more” ad.

Good job with the casting, sae. Fiesta Trio(Quote)
I hate west coast baseball games, making me wait up until 9 to watch. JRod(Quote)
I somehow wasn’t the easiest to come up with? HawkEye19(Quote)
School’s out, you got nothing better to do. Grab a beer and wait it out. Big D(Quote)
You get to watch the game. I’d be even more worthless tomorrow if I stayed up. And would question my sanity about staying up till midnight to watch a Twins/A’s game. HawkEye19(Quote)
I’m already questioning my sanity. And I also have work at 9 in the morning, so I’ll be out of it tomorrow. But at least I can somewhat sit again, hurray me! JRod(Quote)
Late to the party on that one?

Damn…Mariano is pitching for a 3rd day in a row..I hope he’s not too tired to get the save. rekcalsa(Quote)
Man those Dominos bread bowl pastas look awful, thanks for ruining my appetite. JRod(Quote)
Well that didn’t take too long, guess he wasn’t that tired. JRod(Quote)
From Sportscenter: “That guy’s probably thinking: ‘Where can I go where no one will bother me? I know…a Marlins game’” How sad, but true. rekcalsa(Quote)

i am slider…at least im not ice or mav mikeychx(Quote)
mikeychx(Quote)btw …i love the new commenting…fucking love it mikeychx(Quote)
Having never seen Top Gun I’m going to assume that video is a pretty good rundown of what the movie is about. JRod(Quote)
how is this possibly possible?
/old guy’d mikeychx(Quote)
Well the movie was released the year I was born, so I probably wasn’t much into movies at the time. For all I know I may have witnessed the movie at some point in my life without being aware of it. JRod(Quote)
I would say the same thing, but there are plenty of movies that I’m supposed to have seen but still haven’t. rekcalsa(Quote)
