"Soth" still confuses and angers me

I want to punch anyone who uses it.

Sosh I can see. But Soth sounds retarded, and I hate it and I hate you.

I brought sexy back, but they only gave me store credit....

Oh good

so instead of using Sosh, which actually sounds like what we are tying to say, we are to live with someone’s typo of it.

Awesome. Thanks for clearing that up.

Try not to

As long as it makes you happy and I don’t have to use any bad words with you. I’m not a nice man, and you probably don’t want to meet me mouthing off like you do.

Rick Willits is awesome because it underscores the east coast bias and national media ignorance without us having to whine about it.

by Rev Halofan on Aug 30, 2008 3:35 AM PDT to parent up   0 recs

good point

All this needs to be compiled

Rick Willits is one of my favourites.

I still like Quentin flied out to center field as well, for some reason, even though it’s a totally old joke.

Fig Tits

Since Maicer is on the disabled list and the team needs the breast mojo, Chone has been renamed.

also ninja=reagins
Brandon Wood=Balsa (maybe potassium because he Ks so much?)
Juan=Juancho or Johnny Rivers
Vlad=supervlad, vlad the impaler, big daddy, vladdy

Exceeding expectations is less a matter of luck than possession of certain assets.

Good post

Here’s a great one that has been left off …

Kendry Morales = Kowbell (ie, “Need more Kowbell” ala Christopher Walken, also known as Acuda’s blow up doll.

When I first visited HH in 2006, I couldn't figure out why Lackey was Thunder Mountain

—if you are a newcomer it is worth searching the site and finding out why

Deja Vu

Yes “anaheim angels” there was a list done not too long ago.

by Downing Rules on Aug 31, 2008 1:35 AM PDT   0 recs

you need to put the memes in there

such as the quentin fly out that has been mentioned already. GA is lazy. It’s all Mickey’s fault. Anything else?

Do you want to also throw in historical references such as A-hole Piershitsky and Doug Eddings, et. al.

If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.

by melvintoast on Aug 31, 2008 8:00 AM PDT   0 recs

I blame 'toast.

Francisco Rodriguez: 199 career saves. 4 career Panthers, almost 1/2 as awesome as GMJ.

kotch would've had that

rivera= super cuts and gmj= the garbage man

cmon super cuts it all in the look
gmj speaks for itself

My curse on the angels: I have been to 3 of his 5 blown saves, I was at the no-hitter for weaver, and I was there when Maicer had a season ending injury.
I am one LUCKY fan
