DICK LEWIS IS WATCHING

I was pissed when they replaced Scooter with Jim Palmer in those ads. WTF?

However, Jocketty was able to unload Jay Bruce on the Mets, for the prospect that they went into this season certain was such a shoe in for their 2B of the future that they let Murphy walk.

Was he the "pitching is what I do for work, but bowling is my real passion guy"? I always found that super amusing that someone just openly viewed being a major leaguer as the thing he does to pay the bills.

Sterling is a toxic combination of Chris Berman Syndrome (every other word out of my mouth must be an inane nickname or catch phrase) and unhealthily elevated levels of homerism.

Maybe as a kid I didn't pick up on it, but McCarver did seem a lot better back in the 80's.

The U2 documentary spoof is great, especially the Lucky Charms ad.

Which is odd, as I took the Water Cooler Show as a dig at Maher.

Oh sweet summer child, if you only knew the Trump phenom of 2016.

Now you might be able to reverse it and have a film where Brooklyn trust funder/hipster types get lost in some decaying inner suburban area like Elmont or Hempstead while getting lost trying to go to a concert at Jones Beach.

Nu Metal Smiths covers sound 3 parts horrifying, but one part intriguing.
