Was it the one with both Larry David AND Ricky Gervais? I think a televised biography on Hitler would be funny if those two were hosting it
Yes they were on the panel. I was literally crying from laughter at certain parts.

you're so terrible Brent...thank god that situation will never be replicated during the regular season haha
The Shire will be ready for harvesting in late March so he won't be able to stick around much longer.

What profound effect did it have on subsequent seasons? The cheap players they gave up were bad and the $3.5M terrible pitcher they acquired was only on a 1 year deal.
Seeing that the 2003 year was one where we were quite close to winning the division, who knows what might have happened had we not made that trade. Many people think that the 2003 team was arguably the best we've had in over a decade. We wound up 4 back for the division and who knows if we kept those 3 nobodies if maybe one of them had a flash in the pan year that could have gotten us over the top...ala Cotts in 2005. Or maybe we could have used them as trade pieces for something more effective for 2003 instead of a complete waste in Ritchie.

Because that '02 team was $3.5M away from a title?
Ah I get it now. As long as you're not considered a contender for a WS for that particular season then it doesn't matter if you make terrible trades that can impact subsequent seasons.

None of the music I listen to is suited to walk-up music.
Don't be ashamed. I happen to like the soundtrack to Teletubbies.

Well I must say I am not excited about the prospect of you painting your legs to look like a pair of jeans. Marisa Miller, you are not
I've been doing the P90x leg routine. You'll be pleasantly surprised.
Even though I haven't followed ST too closely I must say I'm extremely excited and optimistic for the season. Even the DH situation isn't worrying me anymore.

I thought I heard somewhere it was a Sawyer episode but who knows at this point
In the preview for next week there seemed to be a couple Sawyer shots in the clip.

No doubt there'll be plenty of Hurt Locker vs. Green Zone comparisons I'm guessing.
If it's anything like one of the Bourne movies than I'd doubt that. Hurt Locker was not like any of those.

Well, at the very least, I learned that smoak's name is pronounced smoke, and not smoAK. SO thanks, knackattack.
Which makes him infinitely cooler now.

He'll probably still get some occasional at bats, especially late in ST when the roster decisions are made.
Huh? He is one of 3 players reassigned. He gets to stick around ST while reassigned?
