(shuddering) The idle has faced the Yanks 2x this year and done well. I think the boys get too geared up in trying to absolutely annihilate their former teammate (cough-cough). I can't wait to see what they do Sunday. He's due for some comeuppance. I hope.

He is, and he will get his.

oh, where's my recipee for Oucho Bucco.? Gotta serve up Pavano on a platter this Sunday. I know I need a couple bruised Shanks of Carl, a sprig of rosemary, a sprig of thyme, and garnish it with a shredded check for 40 million dollars....

we still don't know what time this game is?

ya know what terrifies me about this? two words...

Kenny Rogers.

I can't go through that again

Pavano Kenny Rogers-ing us would be worse than ANYONE Kenny Rogers-ing us.

Girardi should instigate a 20 push-up penalty to any player that makes an out against the American Idle.

Andy will step up and make Pavano irrelevant - an interesting side story to a game that was dominated by the Yankee starting pitcher and their rock solid bullpen.

(fingers and toes crossed)

Can't believe Francesa is arguing with callers about Jeter's post season home run totals. Geez. Why do I subject myself to that junk?

I think right now it is important to focus on winning game 2 ... so that the sweep comes from pounding American Idle.

[8] I ask myself the same question

Crush him.

[4] yeah, i really need to know what time the game is. i have an evening hit, but might be able to shift the time an hour, this way or that, if i have enough time to get in touch w/ all the band members...

[4] [11] The problem, I'm sure, is the NFL.

Hmm . . . Minnesota is at St Louis, a 1 PM game, so no problem there. The Giants play at 1 as well, the Jets on Monday night, and the Sunday night game is Tennessee-Indy, a draw but not a huge one. The late afternoon games are 3 snoozers (ATL-SF, HOU-ARI, JAC-SEA) and the Pats at Denver . . .

So what's the issue?

Wait, I might have it - as of now, all 4 series are scheduled to play on Sunday, and the 2 NL series go head-to-head with the NFL; at St Louis, and at Colorado (unless the Phils sweep).

How is TBS going to show 4 games nationally in one day? They must be praying for a Philly sweep.

[11] An evening hit? Er forget I asked about it. I didn't see nuthin'.

I intend to have a nice t-bone for dinner on Sunday, it pairs well with a Pavano beat down.

Can't we just pretend like Pavano never happened? What's the harm, it's not like there's that much to forget.

Well except for $39,500,000.00.

Which reminds me I have to go play the Mega.

Meh. Nothing to see here...

[5] [6] As i stated before, if that happens, I *will* slit my wrists.
