Astros @ Rangers, September 5, 2025

I get that if you have a pitch to hit you gotta try, but the amount of first pitch weak popups with a runner at third and one out are accumulating at a Susan Collins level of an alarming rate.

Back in the day, was it Joey who coined the phrase “jackin off like a redass monkey watching the banana channel”?

Curly.

@Dennis Miller

MILLER: I’ll be back at the hotel, masturbating like a red-assed monkey watching the Banana Channel.

It was Curly

Curly This one occurred mere days after the 2000 HOF Spectacular, when all the rage was the addition of Dennis Miller to the MNF booth. Curly’s unexpected, unassailable masterpiece lit TZ like a Christmas tree before taking the country’s e-mail boxes by storm and eventually earning a slot at ilovebacon.com… “What are viewers in for with Dennis Miller in the Monday Night Football booth? You have no idea, cha-cha. AL MICHAELS: Hello and welcome to another edition of ABC’s Monday Night Football,…

[chuck (Triple Super Secret Pope)]

Twenty five years ago what the fuck.

[Lefty]

“I was a quarterback” is the best deadpan funny line of the whole thing

[chuck (Triple Super Secret Pope)]

There’s a lot there. It was an epic rant.

We used to be a message board. A proper message board.

[austro (Mark)]

We were a message board once, and young.

@MusicMan

Your other options was a guy whose only major league game was 1.1 innings yesterday.

If you’re keeping LMJ on the roster, you have to use him.

Keeping him on the roster is the problem.

Then use him to mop up, not in a tie game in the middle of a pennant race.

[MusicMan (Michael Shopoff)]

Again, you were down to two guys. Neither of which was a viable choice.

[moriarty]

I think they were really hoping to get to the offseason to deal with the LMJ situation and they’re not going to get there.

Just saw a trailer commercial for the new Tron movie and was immediately reminded of this:

Electric Vehicles

“feng shui ain’t got shit on Tron, son” eta: Can’t remember who said that (was it Joey?) and I don’t remember the context at all, but for some reason it’s always stuck in my mind. I think I’ve gotten to use it in conversation twice.
