You know what's sad? None of my cardinal friend fans like him, like, at all. And they have this weird obsession with MIke Shannon, who I think sucks. Now, granted we have better taste, but why would it be that off?

I hate that a team that hasn't been very good in my lifetime is forced down my throat year after year.

what's the last game we can effectively start a 20 game win streak to completion? (no pwayoffs.)

Remember when we were in the world series? That was fun.

Give me a malbec and I'm happy.

you knew he wasn't a good football coach, he's just a hell of a recruiter.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 4, 2009 -> 11:33 PM) You're right, most of the guys that we did get to "improve" our offensive line are unknowns. I didn't know who Kevin Shaffer or Frank Omiyale were (turns out Shaffer is ranked as an 86 in Madden and Omiyale is a 77, so they can't be too bad). Somebody said that Browns fans said Shaffer sucked. I guess I'll have to take their word since it's so hard to judge offensive linemen based off statistics (since there really are none). However, Shaffer was a starter on the 06 Falcons, where they rushed for almost 3,000 yards. So you'd assume he's a decent run blocker. Orlando Pace is old, but then again, so were John Tait and Fred Miller last year. He'll hold up. I'm not too sure about Williams. He's inexperienced and I'm surprised that he will start. If anything, I think we increased the depth of our O-line. Chris Williams was not healthy last year, so there's one to add for depth. Omiyale replaces Fred Miller and Pace basically replaces Tait. Shaffer is brought in as a replacement for St. Clair. Overall, I think the line is improved. Even though there seems to be one or two question marks. There were a bunch of question marks last year as well and the line ended up alright. About the schedule thing, if you look at it, there's 7 teams on there that aren't very good. Can they turn better? Of course, the NFL is crazy like that. However, we have the Lions (twice), Seahawks, Bengals, Browns, Rams, and 49ers on the schedule. I mean the only team in there that might win more than 6 games is Seattle. The rest is absolute crap. It's not like we're playing a team on the border of being good or bad. These teams are all bad. the 49ers will probably win more than 6 games, I'd even say they might get in the playoffs, seeing the way the nfl works.

I love your sig big sqwert

When you keep the opponents to fewer than 2 runs, you usually win.

winner winner. 4 in a row.

Get em here bob.

QUOTE (Pants Rowland @ Sep 5, 2009 -> 02:58 AM) This was a really entertaining exchange. I assume you've been there before so I do not need to tell you how fun Brazil can be and how nice and welcoming the people are as well. I visited Sao Paulo on a couple occasions and long to go back. Rio was fun too but there were times I felt a little threatened, and that never happens to me, knife or no knife. I have heard Curitiba is the fastest growing city in Brazil. Any particular reason for moving there rather than Santa Katerina or Porto Alegre? My sister in law is Brazilian and has some friends who are helping me out in Curitiba. The weather there is relatively cooler, which is fine by me. Dolfinopolis is only a few hours away, as well.

QUOTE (FlaSoxxJim @ Aug 31, 2009 -> 12:59 AM) OK, a caipirinha sidetrip was in order before getting to some beers, particularly after the sweep completed against our craptacular ball club. G&T bmags [old man edit needed to correctly identify poster] mentioned using Leblon cachaça, which is what most bars around here are starting to use for their caipirinhas. I tend to like those a lot when made correctly, but since Pitu was the brand I was first exposed to and I like the flavor AND I can still get a liter for $17, that's the house brand for now. My caipirinha is only slightly tweaked from the Pitu label recipe, basically subing 2:1 simple syrup for granulated sugar. It's very often an acquired taste — the flavor of cachaca being very forward and earthy, and not like Martinique rhum agricole in that regard. But, the damn things are really addictive once you develop a taste for them. As refreshing as a good mojito can be, they can get too sweet, and caipirinhas are the perfect cure for that. Modified Pitu Caipirinha • 1/2 lime, cut into 4-6 pieces and muddled in mixing glass. • add 1.5 oz Pitu cachaca • add 0.5 oz 2:1 simple syrup • add crushed ice – Shake all ingredients and pour into serving glass with wedge lime for garish. – Drink and repeat as necessary until baseball season is over. mixing glass? I just pound that stuff with the long sticks.
