Ya know, that’s not the most butch image I can think of, a male cheerleader jock sniffing and rah rahing fer fucking “Bulldogs.” Neither, for that matter, is trotting around on the deck of an aircraft carrier in a cinched up flight suit when ur not gonna fly a big Top Gun, Tom Cruiser jet airplane. Reminds me a little of Max Eastman on Ernest Hemingway: ” a literary style… of putting false hair on the chest.” Or more specific to Bush II, the lady doth protest too much
(h/t Queen Gertrude).

Thank you, Hatmandu. We never tire of being reminded of W.’s rah-rah days. When he did whatever he did at the Texas Rangers, baseball cards bearing his image were handed out, cards that cluttered the wet floors of the Rangers’ men’s rooms. It would be a poignant image, except for the fact that it’s about W.

Erick son of Erick, fuck you. No, seriously. Fuck you. Oh, and, fuck you.

humboldtblue, that was the best interspersing of gay penguin breakup, Jerry Springer-style, into a discussion of sports that I have ever seen. Of course, it’s the only such interspersing I’ve ever seen, but why quibble?

P.S. Yeah, well I didn’t fucking like seeing George Will in Bud Selig’s private booth, but I had to watch that, didn’t I? Yes, I did!

P.P.S. Word, xpurg8d. Jennie Finch v. Erick son of Erick? Bring it.

I’d be interested in seeing some “girl” like, oh, let’s say the L&TC, pitch against a manly man like Erikson, so we could see for ourselves what he means by “…even when they throw slow girlish balls…”

Yeah, every time they build a new stadium, they suck even more. They had five three hundred hitters working at Forbes Field in the day: Matty Alou, Manny Mota, Roberto Clemente, Willie Stargell, Donn Clendenon. Today, not so much. But a rillly, rillly great stadium. LOL.

Wanna talk about the Steelers or Penguins?

Not really, mocking the Pirates is just more fun. Plus, the Penguins aren’t really gay because they were broken up by a hot-blooded female penguin who totally stole away one of the gay guys and now the other gay Penguin is crying silent tears of remorse and loss.

Though there is a difference between licking and eating, shit-licking and coprophagic could be considered redundant adjectives.

Is it a code?

Anent

Yessuh, yessuh, Presidents git t’throw out fust pitches even when they throw slow galish balls like Obama instead of th’ steady, fast pitches of min like Jedidiah Bush.

But one thin’ Jedidiah Bush did not git thet Bareeck Obama is gittin’ fum Majo’ League Baseball is a platfo’m t’espouse his policy posishuns. Some of us’d like a few areas in life whar politics, like th’ Mets, git shet out. This hyar sh’d be one of them, dawgone it.

So, the girlie-man theme or meme is part of the strategery to retake the gov’ment. It’s oh so atavistic.

I just love how Erick the Red feels the need to obsessively compare ~~penis sizes~~ pitching styles of President Obama and his predecessor.
