Randy Johnson
RHP, 10-9, 4.21

Baseball-Reference.com preview [opens in new window]

Running a little late, due to various distractions. Volquez is another borderline Cy Young candidate: given how badly we did against someone with a 4-15 record yesterday, I dread to think how we'll do against someone who is 16-5. Oh, well... Should be about for most of this. Unless I get distrac... Oh, look! A swallow...

Notably, CoJack out again today. Did we injure another player? This is why we can’t have nice things.

Getting myself in trouble. . .

I was annoyed by Silverblood’s comments on McCovey Cove; and I posted a fanpost about it over on Purple Row. (Didn’t have her email.) She did a good job of defending herself, based mostly on DBacksSkins behavior over there. Which I found inadequate since I’m not DBacksSkins; and I don’t post nasty comments about the Rockies on other SBN sites. In general, I succeeded in making everybody over there mad at me. Which, since “Friendly Visiting Fan” to that site seems to mean “Watch Your Back”, I guess is no great loss.

It's like living with a six-year old.

by 4 Corners Fan on Sep 13, 2008 7:57 PM EDT reply actions  

I wouldn't sweat it at all. Their loss.

At least you didn’t go overboard and get yourself banned like I did from the gay unicorn site.

I could care less about the orkies and never would have visited their site if it wasn’t for silverblood and rox girl coming over here last season mouthing off about our team and its fans.
I could so care less if it was in the spirit of a ‘budding rivalry’, I found no humor in it and have had a strong dislike for those two every since.

yeah, I understand they are not a fan of my team, but don’t ever come onto my teams site and talk shit about it or its fans again. They can diss us all they want on their site if it gets them off.

Yeah, good point, but it is disingenuous. It’s all, “Hey, guys! Let’s be friends!” and then being rude with the other kids on the playground. Plus, I just pretty much hate lying, so there you go. And I’d stuck up for her because I thought she was okay as a visiting fan. So I was annoyed about that. She cut me, man, she cut me!! LOL

I’m over it.

I'd like to know

what kind of medical professional recommends laxatives as a weight-loss tool. The whole thing seems like a big pile of malpractice topped with a health sprinkling of creepy.

I do love one of the phrases in that ad, though

The part where they say that some experts say it’s a problem.

They can’t say it’s based on real science, just that some experts (probably the people who own their company) say that you should do something about this problem.

Yeah, that made me laugh

Though, I’m still trying to decide which ad I hate more: that one, or the one that says it’s easier to break a heroin addiction than it is to lose weight.

23-20 UNLV

ASU needs at least a FG to keep the game going, a TD wins it.

Just came from

Revenge of the Birds: the Cards site on SB

told them they must win to carry the honor of the state. I probably just jinxed them.

How can you jinx the Cardinals?

Isn’t that like worrying that you’ll irradiate Chernobyl?

On a related note

Now I remember why I don’t listen to a lot of college football commentary: because about 45% of it seems to all be about how USC is the greatest thing ever.
