Steve Physioc is up for the Robert Frick award. My brain hurts just thinking about the level of retardiculousness that such a thing implies.

It makes about as much sense nominating Clay Akin for a BET award.

well put.

We need a "fire Phys" web site. Or maybe we can get the guys at www.firejoemorgan.com to help get the word to Arte.

"Retardiculousness"

by halomatt on Nov 3, 2006 3:32 PM PST reply actions 0 recs

Uh, that's the Ford Frick award.

Robert "Frick" is this guy. But you're right, the fact that Physioc is up for the award is retardiculous.

the games on the MLBtv. As such, I am subjected to whichever announcing team is streaming. To complain about Physioc (and Hudler) is analogous to complaining about California because you've never been to New Mexico or New Jersey!

As an individual sitting at a desk

currently in New Jersey, I resent that remark. And by resent, I mean "concur with".

Alabama is worse though. Absolutely worst state I've ever spent any considerable kind of time in. Good Lord.

Alabama

That is like Mars, right, people don't actually go there or are from there, it is just an inaccessible geographic plae that is good to use in metaphors and SCI FI... right?

You know all those stereotypes that

you hear in pretty much every bad southern joke ever made? they're pretty much all true in alabama. times two.

Only because

you haven't been to Mississippi.

Actually

I have been to Mississippi, and I stand by New Jersey and New Mexico (only slightly dirtier, but much more toxic waste ridden than 'old' Mexico).

I will however take your Mississippi and raise you an Arkansas.

Having been to Arkansas

I can agree and disagree all at once. (My in-laws are there, as is the Angels' AA team.) The first few times I came out I was definitely with you... the place has grown on me some, but it helps if you have, uh, guides.

Where were you in NJ?

Just curious. There's like...4 places in the state that way, the rest is fine-ish. Comfy, comfy New Brunswick...our only problem is the scary kids from Princeton that come up here and mess with our campus. Damn jerks!

by Caseys Kiss of Death on Nov 3, 2006 11:14 PM PST up reply actions 0 recs

Mostly

near Philly (which deserves an honorable mention in the shittiest place on earth category as well). I've never been to New Brunswick, so I can't really comment on that.

So, around Camden then?

Which was recently replaced as the worst city in the country by St. Louis and a couple other places. Yeah, I don't go down there and I wouldn't with an armed escort, either. Depressing and burned out. Don't know why they are bothering with a revitalization project.

If Philly got a billion times better than it is right now, it would just BEGIN to suck total ass.

I've been to Biloxi

and to Jackson. That's right, the only two places in the state anyone's heard of...which requires much, much driving through places no one has heard of...and no one should go to. I've only BEEN there, but not long enough to list it higher than Alabama. Oh, and I'll throw in a 2nd or 3rd place vote for West Virginia, too. Deliverance times ten.

My wife

was going on a rafting trip years ago in West Virginia. I made her watch deliverance prior to leaving, so she would know the warning signs of impending danger.

Not sure how

we managed to get so far off topic...

Did anyone notice that Hudler was one of the announcers in the most recent MLB game for PS2? He may be an annoying announcer, but he's our annoying announcer.

inept-

In attempt to come to grips with the complete and utter ineptitide that is our annoucing team, I found that rational works. Its the "only I can make fun of my Family" rational. I just really hate them.

I think

you mean rationale. And I judge by the 'is it better than Joe Morgan rationale'... And to answer my own question; yes, with a hearty two thumbs up. Quickly followed by two fingers raised as well. Can you guess which?

Yes, Hud was an announcer on

MLB 2006 The Show.

And Phucker was on All-Star Baseball 2006.

We are represented by two of the biggest douches on this side of the Mississippi.

And the third

member of the team got the national spotlight when Steve 'the Mexican hater' Lyons got axed. They must be doing something right if they're all getting outside gigs like that... or perhaps they have pictures of the Commish with barnyard animals.
