- Earplugs didn't prevent much. #redsox #
- Hate when home plate umps make a strike call on a close checked swing. Can't we get the 2nd opinion? #redsox #
- Found my enemy for the night: overly-demonstrative older woman, front row, just up the 3rd base line (over RH batter's shoulder) #redsox #
- McCain's ads make me feel like I missed an episode. Seem to have been edited with a blender. #
- @ericwyman She's right above the New Era sign with a Petula Clark bob, between two old guys. #
- Why would Varitek need to tell the catching coach what he's going to do? #redsox #
- @ericwyman good to hear. Make up for lost torrent time. #
- Carl Crawford comes out to MIA? 1. Sounds anti-Amerikun to me. 2. Good luck signing a guy who's theme music says he just wants your money. #
- @savetherobot Heart of Dorkness #
- Need to know what it says on Papi's non-standard, non-team issued shirt. Something dirty, no doubt. #redsox #
- Buck Martinez's Can't-catch-up-to-a-sliding-runner theory sounded like it was a new Law of Thermodynamics. #
- Cialis, if your boner pills are so great, why do they require two soaking tubs? #
- @mikesusz I'd have thought the roof, Field Turf and different colored walls would have been a tip off. And the empty lounge chairs. #
- Dunno, how big are 2 out hits? There are 0 outs right now. #redsox #
- @ericwyman looked like a Very Special Fan. #
- TBS, you claim Frank Caliendo makes a big impression, I'd like to prove it. Have him meet me on top of the Sears Tower. #
- "Hi, this is Matt Garza for Mucinex." #
- Anyone else catching a romantic subtext to Ron & Buck's discussion of pitchers & catchers? #redsox #
- @paulkelley the caught stealing? 3-2 and 1 out is a hit and run situation. Sucks they get the momentum from it. #
- If that was an "easy" 1-2-3 inning, I don't want to see a hard one. Too much solid contact. #
- @paulkelley yeah, it was definitely a risky move, but Tito seems to send the runner in that situation about 80% of the time. Sucked. #
- PINCH HIT #redsox #
- Dog's snoring soundly. Don't know how she does it. Nerves of steel. #redsox #
- @ericwyman Thank you. Get that kid to an ENT, stat. #garzasnot #
- Someone in the front row order something to make those weird-ass munchkin waitresses go away #redsox #
- Now is that Animal or Hawk wearing the sweatshirt in the Tampa dugout? #redsox #
- @ericwyman How quick does Price go in our draft next year? #
- Ah well, great season, fun playoffs and Tampa's a damn good team. Could do without the fanbase. #redsox #
- What is that song? Where can I pay to have it not played? #redsox #
- @CinemaSuicide Uf, thanks for giving me someone to block. #
- Please tell the dog I don't negotiate with terrorists. #
- Good post on the value of defense and the price of wins in MLB: http://is.gd/4qPK #
- @adarowski @SoxyLady I was sorry to hear it too, but I think it's only "out of character" for the person he's portrayed as in the media. #

Twitter Updates for 2008-10-19
- If I'd been friends w/Shel Silverstein, I'd have always RSVP'd by saying, "Tell 'em I'm coming, and Shel's coming with me." #
- @garyryan Well, it's strange you could acquire the "Big Game" label before playing in one. #
- Dinner at Agave (Portsmouth) tonight; disappointment. Everything Poco's does, but worse, more expensive w/ bad service kicker. #
- In re Shel Silverstein, for people like @suchatreat, http://tinyurl.com/6jpwt6 #
- @adarowski if you're listening to Girl Talk, you're going to want the Wikipedia pages to save the brain scratching. #
- Tampa Bay, you'll never be a respectable franchise until you strip the season tickets from Leather Lungs. #
- My Facebook says "69 friends" I'll pass, but the 13 year old in me thinks it's funny. As is "the 13 year old in me". Meta-illegal-joke #
- Buck Martinez just summed up the playoff experience: "When you're throwing 90mph fastballs, it's time to go #2." #
- If you bought an off-brand, bullshit team jersey, don't bring it to a nationally televised game. #
- Cue Kevin Millah: "Don't let us win one." #
- You know TBS is a serious network when Saeger's jackets never run out of batteries. #
- Want Youk's beard to produce birds like Family Guy #redsox #
- I know we're spoiled, but if you're crying about a non-elimination loss by your 10 year-old team, gain perspective. #redsox #
- Finds it ironic Adele is backed by skinny chicks on SNL #
- @garyryan "And that was the second time I got crabs." #
- @paulkelley They should get the Tampa groundscrew to spraypaint that stupid starburst on a carpet somewhere in a dugout. #
- 1st time watching SNL in years. Complete disappointment except for Adele. #

- Upside to #redsox potentially being eliminated in 5: no more Chip Caray in anyone's life. #
- tbshotcorner.com - shitty baseball site or your vaccination information headquarters? #
- Well, last one out shut off the lights. #redsox #
- Do not thou, when thou art a fan, boo a Papi. Boo a Varitek, boo a Daisuke, but never an Ortiz #redsox #
- WHAT! #redsox #
- It would appear at two points last night, the #redsox had a 0% chance of winning: http://is.gd/4fgR #
- @laurelatoreilly in re: .NET collective intelligence, you can't dm people that don't follow you. #
- Think you can unfollow me without consequences? Dream on: http://useqwitter.com/ #
- This week's Zero Punctuation: A+ - http://is.gd/47Tn #
- Picked up some new (to me) stuff at the comic store: Sentry (http://www.the-isb.com/?p=705) and the new series of Criminal. #
- @erdanton cue up Billy Bragg's "Levi Stubbs' Tears" in memoriam. http://is.gd/4gDY #

- Stewing in my own gravy after nhupa-- loft at Pixel is still too hot. Brings back some memories. #
- Someone find this plumber and kill him. Not class warfare, just sick of the arguing from specific to general. #
- So McCain's Things He Wishes Hadn't Been Said were things about him, not by his supporters? Weird. #
- He's spending unprecented dollars and more than you because people sent him more money. Wonder why. #
- Ironically, people on the autistic scale wouldn't be swayed by such cheap emotionalism. #
- Also: Voter Registration Fraud != Vote Fraud #
- I have to admit I'm interested in McCain's "nuclear pants" concept. #
- I know Obama's up by a lot in the polls, but it'd be nice if he jumped some of this dumb shit. #
- I heard the first thing you see when you get off the plane in foreign countries is a clear explanation of smart econ policy. #
- Do you have any goddamn ideas or do you just know what Senator Obama wants/ doesn't want? #
- Pretty sure Obama didn't oppose Stephen Breyer, who was appointed in 1994. By Clinton. #
- Not only does McCain have a record, he has a bunch of warped 78s. #
- @jlbruno Yeah, that's your marginal tax rate. What you want to keep an eye on is your effective tax rate. http://is.gd/4c0r #
- Not sure I'm feeling Sylar as Spock. http://is.gd/4a2S #
- Free SEO advice to restaurants: don't PDF your menu. It doesn't look that great anyway. #
- @CinemaSuicide When I need to focus and drown out distractions, I always fall back on Kid 606 or Shitmat. #
- "Joe the unlicensed, not a plumber" just didn't have the same ring. http://is.gd/4clI #
- @suchatreat "bald-faced". #
- @serenemargarita only applies if you think "incentivize" is a word and not some bs marketing-speak. #
- @serenemargarita I don't disagree, but I feel your priority in that case is cutting the person's tongue out, not correcting grammar. #

- If fruit flies didn't exist, DNA scientists would have to invent them. And then we'd have to kill the scientists for making something evil. #
- @paulkelley I love The Mayor as much as the next guy, but Casey has 14 XBHs in 199 at bats this year, all of them doubles. #
- Can we get Carlos Pena back? Or at least have his Mass state residence revoked? #redsox #
- Uf. #redsox #
- Got out of the inning with only 3 runs scored. Improving! #redsox #
- It's getting to the point where the FrankTV ads are the least painful part. #redsox No, no it's not. #
- @paulkelley Even hurt, Ortiz was 25% better than Casey this year. A small sample of playoff ABs doesn't change that. #
- Buck's even got Ron Darling saying "David ORtiz". Weird. #
- I can take the losing, it's the complete lack of response that's killing me. #redsox Also, Manny Delcarmen's stuff > his results. #
- Listening to a terrific concert by Blind Pilot - http://tinyurl.com/3zay22 #
- Remind me to never use thickbox ever again. #
- @boonyboy Hoo. I wouldn't say I'm okay; can't you see the grimace? #
- Client refuses to grasp all these interface issues he sees are a combo of his narrow design + his old person font size settings in IE6. #
- @ericwyman sounded like he was going to miss it. Don't worry baby, I'll be there. #
- Waiting for an iTunes 8 update that unscrews Airtunes issues. Oh, and makes the progress bar work again. Genius. #
- @jeremydurham OCaml. Your move. #
- There is a guy on the AV Club who goes by "Black Bolt" all his comments say "...". http://is.gd/48vQ #

- Obama ads in Burnout Paradise (http://is.gd/43gG). Makes me nostalgic for the WTF feeling I had seeing real ads in Jet Moto for PS1. #
- Firefox 3.1 offers geolocation services: http://is.gd/3Pp3 #

- If you're scoring at home, Longoria hit that off his front foot (with a little bit of hip). Jesus. #redsox #
- Bruins wearing some strange uni. Thought I'd mention it since no one is watching. Who's checking on the Revs? #
- They credit Lognoria with a 3B? Love to see someone a single away from the cycle. #redsox #
- Cut back all the flowers this weekend. Considering selling the neighborhood kids the dead salvia. #

- @adarowski yeah, but unfortunately K/BB is an indicator of success. And he ain't got it. But he does have that butt wiggle. #
- @baseballpro red sox #
- @ericwyman seriously, Ron Darling gives the impression he hasn't been to a game since dashing my dreams in the late 80s. #
- In what sport did James Shields earn the nickname "Big Game"? 'Cause it ain't baseball. #
- If you read nothing else about the Rays' manager, read http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26984974/wid/11/ #
- @adarowski not after you jinxed it. More likely a 400 pitch, 20 hit shutout. He had a shot at a Bill Lee perfect game after 1. #
- Dear Harmonix, I want half the money back for "Sir Psycho Sexy", since you took half the words out. #
- Rays' stadium should be limited to music that was created after team. Britney, Miley Cyrus, Holy Fuck. You gotta mix it up. #
- I'm sure it's a coincidence Chip Caray uses "fist" as a verb so much. #
- TBS viewers, you've been Saeger Bombed. #
- Hoo, traffic must be pretty bad in Tampa #alcs #

- House still reeks of tomato soup from a crockpot recipe on Monday. Thinking of getting a skunk. #
- Worst part of Mike Lowell's injury is it opens the door for me seeing an extra-inning Mike Timlin appearance. Hopefully past his bedtime. #
- @jeckman I'm just here to ban spammers. Makes me feel like one of the girls from 'Clueless'. More than usual. #
- Free Mountain Goats EP at http://satanicmessiah.com/ (pay by guilt, choose your donation level, etc.) #
- @leahcreates you can try http://labs.unitinteractive.com/unitpngfix.php - might fix your issue. #
- @zapnap Hail Satan. #
- WTF? No more Cooz! http://is.gd/3Qc2 (keep your mind out of the gutter) #
- Mountain Goats -> Motorhead. Still disappointed w/ @suchatreat for flunking out on 'Ace of Spaces' in Rockband. #
- discovering stuff in the Hs in iTunes: Helio Sequence, Hieroglyphics. #
