This is sucking. WWTI, ABC Watertown, automatically switched to 20/20 at 9:30 despite the rain delays meaning the game was only picking up in the 3rd. Down on channel 5 WSTM, NBC from Syracuse but also with the baseball contract for that market as well... well...the CRTC gave the nod and the <i>Third Watch</i> episode (the most violent thing I have ever seen on TV) being shown moved over to CJOH, the Ottawa CTV broadcast, not to return after the rain delay ended, even though the Ottawa broadcast was also all the way over on channel 6. Then someone wakes up at WWTI and Babawawa is gone and baseball is back. Expect another automatic switch to click at 10:00 pm. I love cable TV in Canada.

hey, got your message last night. had theater ticks - annie get your gun. p was excited so off we went, me with walkman in hand. got home latr but in time to see finale of game. i wake today, excited, and then derek lowe. i like derek alot but this is enough. he needs to go elsewhere to pitch. good for him, good for us. go see what's shaking in the national league d. lowe. all i'm pulling for today is not losing 22-1. iknow sox fans are very concerned by this" says timmy mac today, on the national broadcast, as lowe walks off the field after getting hit by a line drive. "keep walking'" i'm thinking to myself, "just keep walking."

Bad portland...bad. Mr. Lowe is a valuable trade asset. I am liking him more and more after I realize I like Wakefield less and less.

I wrote that just getting into the house after a kids bowling party. I am speculating where he got hit and hoping there is a correlation with the score. Bad Derek...baaaaaaaaaad Derek.

cant trade him pally. lowe is on his own next year. he may be headed for the mexican leagues after today. and as for wake, yeah i cringe alot too but he eats up innings, keeps doing whatever they ask (like pitch on no days rest), and has been, despite nobody knowing whether he's going to have it or not on any given day, a quality big league starter (and reliever) over the years he has been here. it's just hard to have a knuckleballer in your rotation; the pitch is at least 30% voodoo......but that doesn't mean you don't want one. everybody wants a wakefield kicking around.

i hope you bowled better than derek pitched today. it was ugly, capital "U". as stated, i've always liked lowe but maybe it's time for him to move on. not the first time i've said that this season.

oh, and ahh, ...........fucking yankees!

i got a kid's bithday party tonight.

I got ribs tonight. You lose.

Now I feel guilty for being so rude and dedicate Ribfest 2005 to you.

i love you too.

Didja get the parcel?

no. awwww, you ruined the surprise.

I am surprised that you have forgotten the exchange of presents at the autumnal equinox, Brother portland. Have you forgotten to rinse your lederhosen in goat's milk, too?

i had red sox fever for about two weeks. it had me all discombobulated. seems to have abated somewhat. i'll get back with program.

and i'm using new super improved goat's milk. you?

Yes! In the new larger jug with the handle. Much more convenient given the amount of milk needed this time of year.

what will those guys in goats milk marketing come up with next?

They are clearly in touch with the lederhosen marketing board.

hey, lederhosen never killed anybody.

Sure, sure - it's not lederhosen that kills its lederhosen wearers that do. How many times do we have to hear <i>that</i> old line.
