Good Lord - those shoes would have been perfect for Kurkjian's Zubaz.

Why is Berman in the front row, when he should be in the booth?

The dress shoes made the whole outfit work.

You left off the part where the catcher tucked a dollar into her thong.

Instead of the home run derby, I'm opting for something a little snappier which takes less time. The complete Ring cycle, for example...

"Bother", said Pooh, as Christopher Robin broke out the Vaseline.

I thought it was my wife's screen name.

I don't know why growing the sport in the U.S. should matter, but apparently it does to some. As evidence, see the GIFT rodeo down there in the comments section of any WC-related post.

Is that what the young people are calling it these days?

I don't know what all the outrage is about. That costume on the left is exactly what Sacagawea wore when she modeled for the dollar.

I love all you guys who call the Spurs "boring". No, really, I do. Here, have a smooch. On behalf of the (apparent) minority who prefer to watch basketball played as a team sport rather than as another all-star-weekend-dunk-contest, I find the Spurs the exact opposite of boring.

Lemme guess - Mets fan?
