Can’t say I’m a fan of the “big ol box o food” meal at Taco Bell.

And doesn’t Adam Carolla have better things to do than hock said box.

I crack up every time
he says BurritA.
Also the box is good in its current incarnation, although they seem to change whats in it every week.
You know what? Fuck you Sports Gods, fuck you.
What’s in the box?

Crunchwrap Supreme, Burrito Supreme, Volcano Taco, Cinnamon Twists, and a big drink.
It’s a real man’s meal.

all over the place. I hope he doesn’t suck.

He’ll never suck at here. Unless Andrew does a stat analysis on him. Or makes fun of him for his girly drinks.

but it would be nice if Martin could hold onto a pitch

Yeah
but Martin looked awkward catching it.

leaving Soriano at 2nd with no outs. That should deflate the “noisy” fans.

And Andrew
thought our defense was the problem. I don’t think I’ve seen a defensive inning like that in the postseason.
Ha, the TBS boys are starting to learn about our boy Chad. Booing Fukudome. They may be booing the whole team by the 7th inning.

Fergy was one of my old time favorites
back in 69 I was a Cub fan until the World Series.

One of my favorite in recent memory. My most played list on iTunes is almost entirely Art Brut and The New Pornographers.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
New Pornos are good, but Destroyer and Neko Case’s solo stuff are absolutely fantastic.
by the big grabowski on Oct 2, 2008 9:14 PM PDT up reply actions
I’m actually not a fan of Neko’s solo stuff, most of it is too slow. I like upbeat stuff way more and the Pornographers are great at it. I have had Bleeding Heart Show on repeat the last few days though.
Co-Author Of The Fourth Most Popular NL West Based Blog On SBN
Yeah I can totally see that, I usually listen to it in the mornings. Have you heard Destroyer? He is one of my favs, his early stuff is acoustic and kinda Lo-Fi, middle stuff is Bowie-esque and the recent albums have been more rocking.

They even played a commercial today where Frank dressed up as Dr. Phil and said don’t get angry about all these ads because they’re going to shove them down your throat until you watch the show. I was not pleased.

Stick your arm out, at least — then you can use the glove to catch the ball. That’s what it’s for.
