KOEB Meeting: 07/15/08 -- Let's Go, National League! Edition

[Patsy Stone]

:hi:

[SeattleGirl]

1. Hi Patsy! Howdy all!

And I say, Go American League! :P

:hi:

[Patsy Stone]

6. What.Ever.

:P

:hi: They just booed David Wright, a Met, in Yankee Stadium. But they're booing the American League players even more.

[SeattleGirl]

8. Brat!

:rofl:

[ralps]

2. Hi Patsy, Hi Everyone!! Go Brewers Players!!

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo:

[SeattleGirl]

4. Hi ralps!

Is that a llama the banana is riding?

:hi:

[ralps]

9. Hi SeattleGirl!!! It's called a snotllama! LOL

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[SeattleGirl]

11. A snotllama?

Eeeeeeew!

[ralps]

13. I think it's sort of cute! LOL

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :rofl:

[Berry Cool]

3. Ahem,

:hi: I think you mean, let's go American League.

With starting pitcher Indian Cliff Lee?????? :-(

[SeattleGirl]

5. Hi Berry!

I'm with you: Go American League!

[Berry Cool]

7. LOL, Pats

I think you've been outvoted.

When Sha-Sha gets here it'll be worse! (Or is she at Yearly Kos now?)

[Berry Cool]

12. I can't even change the channel to check.

For some reason my cable box is stuck in "record" mode, even though I didn't set it that way. Truly weird. I hope it stops when the show ends.

[ralps]

15. Hi BerryBush, I just checked & it's commercials now.

:hi: :loveya: :hug: :pals: :woohoo: :shrug:

[Berry Cool]

39. A delayed Hi

to ralps! :hi:

[Patsy Stone]

14. Yo.

I'm representin'. Besides, the National League never wins. Go, Dan Uggla! Go, Hanley Ramirez!

[SharonRB]

25. Nope -- I don't leave until tomorrow

I'm mostly packed.

And, yeah, go American League!

[SeattleGirl]

27. Hey Sharon!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

30. Hi, SG

:hi:

[WolverineDG]

32. Lemme guess, 20 bags???

:loveya:

dg

[SharonRB]

37. No.

One, plus my laptop bag. Since it's five days, I'm taking a larger suitcase and won't need an extra tote bag or anything. I started packing my makeup and stuff in my checked bag so I don't have to deal with all the stupid TSA rules. I just pray a lot that it doesn't get lost.

[WolverineDG]

43. Yeah & now you have to pay for the privilege of checking a bag too

they'd better not lose your bags now! :grr:

dg

[SharonRB]

44. I almost always checked a bag anyway

Now I just get to pay for the privilege. Even when I took a smaller bag, I could never lift it up to the overhead bin.

[Berry Cool]

41. Hey Sha-Sha!!

:hi: I knew you'd come and reinforce the AL side.

[SharonRB]

46. Of course!

[Patsy Stone]

10. No.

I really didn't. :)

But I do have a love/hate thing with Joe Girardi.

[Berry Cool]

16. 1997.

I shall not forget. I shall not forgive. :-)

Of course, there's no use my holding out hope for this season anymore. The Indians have gone back to being the basement dwellers we knew and loved. I don't know what's gonna turn things around. If only they had a bitchy female owner so someone could post a cardboard cutout of her in the clubhouse and promise to tear a strip of its clothing off every time they won, maybe we'd have something.

[SeattleGirl]

17. Cheer up, Berry.

The Mariners are REALLY BAD this year. x(

[Berry Cool]

18. So I saw.

They're so bad, they make the Indians look like contenders.

[Berry Cool]

20. Something occurred to me.

I know the Tigers and the Indians were cursed by "The Keith Curse" (every time he expects teams to do well, they tank). What did he predict for the Mariners? I can't remember now.

[SeattleGirl]

22. He predicted they would win the AL West, but not win any games

in the playoffs.

BZZZZZZZZZ!!

Your answer is incorrect sir!

Thanks for playing.

x(

[Patsy Stone]

23. He didn't even mention the Marlins

So I expect they'll win the series. :)

[Berry Cool]

AGH! They DID get The Keith Curse!!!!!

:scared: And Patsy's right; SI might as well start putting out the Fish souvenir championship crap today.

Jeez, for a guy who knows so much about baseball, he makes the worst season predictions I've ever seen anyone make.

[SeattleGirl]

36. Yeah, he's pretty much off the mark.

[WolverineDG]

31. That sounds like a plot to a movie

No one will believe it though. Bet it would tank at the box office...

:hi:

dg

[SharonRB]

33. Check your PM

I responded to you. Depending on when you're heading back to Laredo, I might be able to meet you during the day tomorrow.

[Patsy Stone]

34. Charlie Sheen!

Somebody get me Charlie Sheen!

[Berry Cool]

City of Lights, City of Magic!

Brings a tear to my eye every time! :cry:

[Patsy Stone]

19. Now sadly locked,

but a good bit of DU jabberwocky. LOL. http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=6503603&mesg_id=6503603

Eddie Murray! Hey, I have two copies of your rookie card!

[Berry Cool]

28. Oh boy. Looks like some folks went Dada on us.

Who's your Dada??

[WolverineDG]

40. Okay, that was a trip to weird

:crazy:

:thumbsup: for being IBTL

dg

[Patsy Stone]

45. Got lucky

Sometimes the stars align and you're right there when the thread appears. :)

[WolverineDG]

58. My fave post in the thread

Dude, did your fingers just run of by themselves and type that, or were you involved as well?

:spray: :rofl:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

74. How good was that??

:rofl:

[SharonRB]

51. WTF?

Was I supposed to understand any of that? Way too cryptic for me.

[Patsy Stone]

53. You're not alone.

Someone was huffing in the afternoon...

[SharonRB]

55. I think they were doing more than huffing.

[Berry Cool]

57. Obviously,

Sha-Sha picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue.

[WolverineDG]

65. I believe the term you are looking for is "mainlining"

Oh & to answer your post from last night, it was Buck a'pickin' & Roy a'grinnin'...and I'm ashamed none of us remembered the Gossip Girls.....yes, I admit it, I looked up Hee Haw on wiki..... :blush:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

71. Thank you.

I just really couldn't remember. The Gossip Girls? You're right, I don't. Were they on Hee Haw? Isn't that a show now?

[WolverineDG]

75. Yes, they were a regular segment nt

[Berry Cool]

77. "Now we're not ones to go aroun' spreadin' rumors..."

"Really, we're just not the gossipin' kind,
Oh, you'll never hear one of us repeatin' gossip,
So you better be sure and listen close the first time."

[Patsy Stone]

78. Thanks

That puts it in a perfect context!

[Patsy Stone]

21. Say it with me: Gaylord Perry.

They're booing every Red Sox loud and long. Even if they're there there as part of the past All-Stars lineup and haven't played in years.

[Berry Cool]

38. Doesn't surprise me one bit.

They're probably even booing people in the stands with red socks on.

As for Gaylord Perry, I can't say his name, I can only spit it.

[Patsy Stone]

42. Sheryl Crow just sang the national anthem

And I'm just waking up from it now.

[Berry Cool]

54. Did you know Gaylord Perry campaigned for Jesse Helms?

I really would rather not know that.

[Patsy Stone]

60. I did not know that.

But I do now. Thanks??

[SharonRB]

24. Hi, everyone

I've been here, but was catching up on e-mail and packing.

[Patsy Stone]

26. Have a great time

And nice to see you. I'm not even watching the show; I'm watching the game. Talk about off-topic!

:hi:

[SharonRB]

29. Shhhhh

Don't let anyone know. You might get a big ole pizza delivery.

And thanks! I'm sure it will be fun.

[Berry Cool]

59. Have a lovely time, and do tell all about it.

Good luck. We're all counting on you. :rofl:

[SharonRB]

70. Thanks.

I'll post pics when I get back.

[Berry Cool]

48. PATS! I'm afraid you'll have to pull over.

You are posting OFF TOPIC. And guess what; you just missed your Friday-night marijuana reference early!!!!

And guess where the story took place...SHEBOYGAN!!!!!

[Botany]

35. Did I ever tell you that you are my Fav?

Drive by Blog

3 things

1) A link to a copy of Obama's speech .... once again he hit it out of the park
my guess is that President asshat gave his presser so Obama's speech and the
head of the Fed talk to congress got less attention

b) Steph is going to be giving a speech @ the U.S. Embassy in London tomorrow :rofl:

iii) There once was an EDV from Nantucket .....


off to pool

[Patsy Stone]

47. They just drove Steinbrenner out in a little cart.

He delivered the baseball for the first pitch(es) to Yogi Berra. :cry:

[SeattleGirl]

49. Steinbrenner: BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Yogi Berra: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!

[Patsy Stone]

52. Steinbrenner looked

really, really old. :(

I can't stand him, but the two old men with the baseball...and the hug... sniff.

[WolverineDG]

50. If you get to a fork in the road, take it

Oops, I think that wacko locked post rubbed off on me....

dg

[Patsy Stone]

56. Where did you go, Oyster Dresser?

The repuke-loving whores need wheat.

[WolverineDG]

62. RIGHT FUCKING NOW!!!11!!

Order the cornflake-crusted fried chicken at the Olive Garden....


:crazy:

dg

[Patsy Stone]

64. Honestly?

I had cornflake chicken last night -- but at home. Promise you won't tell?

[WolverineDG]

69. What happens in the KOEB stays in the KOEB

unless of course, we all get DUzys for making existential jokes about an existential thread....

dg

[Berry Cool]

68. And Yogi said,

"I didn't think anyone went to these All-Star Games anymore--it was too crowded."

[Patsy Stone]

76. AFLAC!

:)

[SeattleGirl]

61. Hey Chimpy!

SHUT. THE. HELL. UP!

Freakin' moran!

[Berry Cool]

63. "Ah got faith in' th' Murikan pipple to make 'justmens ta meet their needs."

Yeah. Like going without food, clothing and shelter so they can buy gas.

[SeattleGirl]

66. He just infuriates me!!!!

What a sick fuck!! :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[Patsy Stone]

67. As long as he's still making money off us,

he really doesn't care how we're doing. The minute we're not profitable to him anymore? :scared:

[Berry Cool]

72. "Ya see, the Murikan pipple gotta unnerstan'...

"...it's a matter a' simple eck-uh-NOM-icks. Ya see, the deMAN' fer gas is HAH. But th' suppLAH iz LOW. It's suppLAH 'n' deMAN'. Ah recollect larnin' 'bout' 'at back 'at Yale."

[Patsy Stone]

73. Let's go, Hanley!

First batter up for the NL. Berry, Lee's pitching.

[Berry Cool]

80. I know. But I can't look. Literally.

My cable box is still on REC.

Oh well, at least I got to hear the voice of Harrison Ford on the EarthShare ad.

[Patsy Stone]

82. Lee struck him out

and then the next two batters, PDQ, for three and out.

AL batting now. I think Jeter got on base. Yep. And he just stole second, too.

[WolverineDG]

79. MARCIA MARCIA MARCIA!!!

What, Peter having a temper tantrum?

:wow:

dg

[Berry Cool]

81. I didn't know Christopher Knight married a woman half his age.

I guess it's lucky Keith didn't report on how offended Florence Henderson was by that. Might've stuck in his throat a bit. :rofl:

Tiny note: His wife is a year older than Katy Tur. Then again, Chris is two years older than Keith...

[Patsy Stone]

83. IIRC, she was the first winner of America's Next Top Model

and has gone on to make a life and career out of reality shows.

[Berry Cool]

87. And from Wiki, she sounds like one messed-up chick.

I give the marriage four years tops.

[Patsy Stone]

88. I usually keep up with them through The Soup

but I did watch that season of ANTM, and she was low-rent even then.

[Berry Cool]

84. KEITH WILL BE BACK TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :loveya: :loveya: AND THERE WAS MUCH REJOICING!!!!!!

THANKS, RACHEL!!!!!!! :applause:

[Patsy Stone]

86. Good news!

Thanks for the info. :woohoo:

:loveya:, Rachel.

[WolverineDG]

85. Dear God, who dressed Dan today?

:wtf: is it with that tie??????? :crazy:

dg

[Berry Cool]

89. Oh great, I tune in just in time for Manny Ramirez.

:puke: My cable box wouldn't get off REC. I tried unplugging it for 10 seconds, plugging it back in, turning it on and waiting for it to reload the data. That appears to have worked to clear it. Thank goodness--I hope it doesn't do that again!

[Patsy Stone]

90. I've had that happen

and it filled up the DVR. And Manny's out.

[Berry Cool]

91. Well, that can't happen, because mine's just a tuning box.

It was recording nothing, because my VCR/DVD recorder would have to be set to record, and it's not.

But it was annoying, because of the inability to change the channel. Yeesh.

[Patsy Stone]

92. Next time

try the Exit button, if you have one. That seems to work for a lot of things when nothing else seems to help.

[Berry Cool]

93. Thanks, I'll do that if it is ever required.

I do have an Exit button on the remote. At least this time I didn't have to call Slime Porner and listen to a guy in Bangalore telling me his name was "Jim" explaining to me what to do.

"Ah yes, by Jove, you hit the Exit button--that will work, by Jove."
