What the?
Hooray journeyman!

Journeyman (n) - a player in sports whose 1 or 2 good seasons have earned him at least 5-6 more in minor league/backup roles, players are frequently dealt and only called journeymen as the reach the end of said journey.
I hate journeymen.
Kornheiser is funny in an article that is predicated on him not being funny.
7.55 and no p-fork update, grumble.

Infrequency and Indie Punching. Not Professionalism.

Congratulations, seems like you guys are building an army of 30 year olds who are still toiling in places like Batavia, Aberdeen, and Lakewood, NJ. Imagine what it would be like to be some minor league player in friggin Ottawa and then get traded to Aberdeen. Sure, it's the minors, but at least it's genuine, temperate suburbia. You'd be elated.
Anyhow, Tom Shales also reviews "Queer Eye for the Straight Girl", the first Post article where I've ever seen the sentence "Haw haw haw, look at the pantywaists." Oddly enough, he approves.

I read that too, laughed at the pantywaist comment and imagined it coming from the mouth of the dirty british guy who is always wearing an undershirt on "Keeping Up Appearances" (I clearly watch too much TV with my grandparents). Aberdeen is single-A, we could play better than some of those idiots. Baseball guys are jerks. Go Nats.
Our one-step-above-journeyman version of Ponson was involved in a car accident, in his native land, in the offseason, for the second year in a row.

"If anything, that motivates me," Manuel said yesterday, "because we're not going to finish third."
"We'll be lucky to get fourth and beat out the Washuerto Rico Natspos," added Manuel. Manuel was later seen telling Phillies mongoloid starter Jon Leiber 'not to pet the rabbits' which made Leiber cry since 'theys is so soft and fluffy.'
"I like to sneak up on people," Manuel said. "I'm that kind of guy. I jump out of the bushes, flash them and make them crap their pants. You should have seen Mike Schmidt's face, it was priceless."
Scott Rolen is sitting on a pile of money and nekkid ladies somewhere, laughing. Azlo, I have many a Milt Thompson baseball card, good work making him your hitting coach.
If you haven't noticed, I'm tired of making fun of my crappy team and have moved on to yours. Go Natspos! When are we moving to Washuerto Rico?
Haha.
I'm sure waterfront Washuerto Rico condos are affordable (through el Yarmouth Management, a subisiary of Goya), and we'll be able to walk to baseball games - on sandlots, take polaroids of talented kid pitchers, then trade them like baseball cards. I will write "Future Stars" on some, much to the chagrin of BJ Surhoff.
Noted Pitchfork announces new Doves album, then hedges in case you don't think Doves are cool. Well, their lyrics are dumb, but I bet they've done more and better drugs than Snow Patrol.
Looking at the Doves (unofrtunately cross the pond) tour dates, I couldn't help but realize that Brits have badass names for clubs. For example: Palais, the Empress Ballroom, Guildhall, Brixton Academy, Royal Court, etc. I'll see you at the Ottobar.
Important interview:
Q As you look back, is there anything you wish you hadn't done? Have you made some mistakes along the way?
A Oh, sure. Everybody makes mistakes.
Q What are some of yours?
A I haven't sat down and made a list.
GW? Nope, Phils GM Ed Wade, who "likes where we are right now." We've had a couple of blockbuster seasons that have raised expectations, that's why people are upset, he says. The Mets with Benson, Beltran, Pedro? Wade says that we've gone out and spent money, and clearly it's not a guarantee of getting to the postseason.
I HATE THHIS TOOLBAG. Gimme moneyball, gimme the Nats GM, who is just padding his ESPN resume. Give me Larry Bowa, GM. Baseball. Can't live with it, can't put it through a woodchipper and get away with it.
doves good, xiu xiu not.
a nerdier version of 'record store clerks die at yo la tengo concert', involving compusa workers:

If you see me lying around, doing nothing this 3 day weekend, remind me that I could be designing thought-provoking t-shirts.
Indeed. Right, three-day weekend, score! I almost forgot. Oh, much football will be played.
I forgot about that. Let the Skins/Eagles at Eden Brook rivalry begin. I'll have to look up the cheat code for laser shooting badges.
