Apologies if this has been linked to this weekend, just making sure you saw The Dude's special delivery first pitch at the Dodgers game the other night.

Evening all. Made it without a hitch. Came in under the GPS estimated time in fact.
Water still isn't usable, but alas, work is back on.
Kruk...rhymes with F. Not sure how long I can stand these two announcers disgorge their views on every other team but Yanks and Red Sox.
i have that fat fucking whining bitch.
[2] great! nice catch, btw.
[3] yup.
please get a DP right fricking now.
Batting practice.
[2] Good man.
And just in time for what promises to be a wretched game!
that pitch coulda been a strike...
[8] your favorite pitcher on the bump.
ooh, close.
Phuck.
what a bunch o' fuckin' bollocks.
this is a last place team we're losing to...again.
I raced home for this shit?
[7] Yes
[12] phish is playing in atlanta tonight.
(that should cue cult...)
Good job, Dave.
got the dp. a little late, but better than never, i suppose...
pretty good start.
keep it movin', fellas!
Cash in on this greasy rat!
not a strike.
[16] Bat signal? Did someone put up a bat signal???
=)
whew. woulda been brutal to not score any runs.
but we really need to cash in another, at the very least...
please tie the game here.
[16] [22] One of my sons actually drove from NYC to a former Air Force Base (Loring) on the northern tip of Maine to see phish. The concert was staged on the runway.
GRITNER!!!
fuck yeah, baby. fuck yeah!
Good Old Brett Gardner!
And, good old Clay Buchholz.
GRITTY!!!
now, let's get another hit and plate the 2 ducks.
O.K. at least a run there.
Lil G's having one helluva season.
[25] very cool.
c'mon DJ!
Gritner! MVP for the team.
[31] he sure as shit is!
[30] You must be on Eric Time.
Goddam pony.
fuckin' midget fucker.
Fucking my little pony.
[35] HA!
his comment # is 2 bars of 15/16.
At least it's tied. I was about to switch to pre-season football.
[25] Which year?
dearest phelps-y,
please pitch a quick, neat, shutdown inning.
thanks very much,
me.
that's a good start.
Dear Phelps"y".
STOP SUCKING!
KTHANKS, BY.
ME
[42] Beat me to it!
LOL!!!
that is *not* neat.
[45] HA!
great minds drink alike ; )
fuck, shit, piss, and hell.
ugly fucking ratty bastard.
Good work, Dave.
Die, Pony, die!
Note: I am NOT speaking German.
Somebody needs to give Phelps"y" a Code Red.
[41] Probably late 90's...the runway is 11,000ft long so plenty of room
50+ pitches, 5 runs, < 2 innings.
feh.
Best thing about Toledo: upon arriving home there was: there was a "boil water" notice in the door. It's a toxin, not a bacterium or virus. Boiling just concentrates the toxin. Don't pull the standard form out of the drawer, make a new one that isn't going to make us sicker.
we really need jeter to knock in those 2 runs last inning...
nice fucking play, nancy's brother!
How about that Drew!!!
[52] 1998 then. First time they played there. Good shows.
[50] No one who speaks German can be an evil murderer!
[59] "Well, only one in two million people has what we call the evil gene. Hitler had it. Walt Disney had it. And Dustin Pedroia has it."
[59] can I get you as a character witness! bitte?
[59] [60] Evidently, use of the H1tler word trips the nanny ... even in a Simpsons quote.
[59] "Well, only one in two million people has what we call the evil gene. H1tler had it. Walt Disney had it. And Dustin Pedroia has it."
Take that, nanny!
[58] Four of my 7 kids are avid phish-ionados!
That's not a quality start, is it? Two innings, five runs?
So David has been Chased?
[59] Jazz - sorry i missed your balafon comment yesterday. yes, not only do i know what it is, but i own one! well, it's my wife's but it lives underneath my marimba. she got it when she studied west african dance in ghana!
i composed a piece for her after our 2nd date. it's only 1:30 or so but it has several sections. it's a cool instrument, but mine isn't diatonic so it's difficult to chart out and remember. i've written several other parts on it that have become sections in new pieces of mine. all of this will be going on the fourth cd.
i don't think i have "Baladance" on my computer. but i'll try to find, transfer, and send to you!
You know, Kruk is an imbecile, but he's actually entertaining ... when he's making fun of himself.
Between innings I'm watching "RedTails" on Fox Movie Channel, about Tuskegee Airman, with Cuba Gooding Jr. Fantastic dogfight CGI
[61] So J F K and H1tler can't get through WordPress but the phrase 'fucking my little Pony' can...Hmmm....
[67] All an act. He actually goes home and reads Proust. In French.
[66] You're amazing! Can't wait to hear it.
[70] Man, if there was a swear filter ... we'd have no comments in game threads!
[68] Coleman, that is a great movie. For some reason I've seen it twice. Maybe once on an airplane.
[73] Interesting. It's undeniably a fantastic story, but everything I've heard about the movie so far has been negative. The last 30 years of Lucas have not been ... positive.
Double. Cespedes doesn't know how to play the wall.
i hate that fucking wall.
i just loathe that little league ballpark. i know that's blasphemous, for some reason, but i can't stand it. flat out ugly and stupid outfield dimensions/monstah...
Sigh, it's going to be *that* kind of night, isn't it?
Nancy!
1 run ballgame!
[72] [73] I'm spending more time with the movie though Just caught drew double to make it 5-4.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH, Prado!
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.
[75] Earlier shot of the inside of the green monster was a graffiti covered concrete building. That was the sub-basement at college. Dirty, dark, but a great place to make out.
[80] Isn't Prado a 'professional hitter'? Or was he the 'good baseball man' in the trade? Is 'good baseball man' only for retired guys?
come on, Jetes!!!
drive in 2 this time around!!!
I do not have faith in Jeter here ...
[82] he is. i dig him. he'll come around. i promise.
Le sigh.
About as pathetic as I imagined ...
RI - check your email!
Mr OK - check your email!
Aw crud. New water advisory is 1 am. Good night.
please retire already.
I hate the fucking Red Sox. Especially that fat lying fuck.
Now I'm going back to the movie!
[90] good luck!
[92] indeed.
glad i have the game on mute...
Fuck. Big Papi.
Fuck Big Papi ...
fucking ballpark...
[96] this.
i like this chase!
please tie the game here...
YES!!!!
tie fucking game. and laptop is still pitching..
huzzah!!!
Well I'm glad the movie ended, just in time to see us even at 7...
ok, prado. it's time...
Haha, Clay. Tied again.
Nancy!
Eat my shorts, MP!
Memo to announcers: please stop telling us how bad Bucholz is!!
Two hours 15 minutes and we are halfway through this game...
7-7 in the bottom of the 5th!
Yankees - Red Sox fever ... catch it!!!
Welcome, Esmil!
he's wearing boBBy's number.
Also worn this year alone by Jim Miller and Jeff Francis
Can't stand it, clicked mute button...
YESmil!
[111] i did that loooong ago : )
[110] ouch. i wonder what number boBBy is wearing on the Muts. if he's even still on the team. i guess i could look it up...
GRITTY!
Who is this guy?
FUCK YEAH, GRITNER!!!
15th homer! holy shit. little dude is strong.
let's make this stand up. beat the douchebeards!!!
Called that off the bat.
GRITNER!!!
[117] FUCK THE DOUCHEBEARDS!!!
Call him Esmil! Great first appearance in the fishbowl!
And now GARDNER, yippie.
MAKE THE KRUK STOP TALKING, MOMMY, MAKE THE BAD MAN STOP OPENING HIS MOUTH!
[120] Proust, man. I'm telling you, all an act.
Gritty now with more taters than Cano & Pony COMBINED...
[120] yeah besides idiocy, Kruk is also depressing. Ruins watching the game,
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. THROW STRIKES!
buckle down, esmil.
DP right here and now...
[122] If so, he's an Kaufmann-esque level [strike]troll[/strike] performance artist.
right elbow inflammation for phelspy.
Pony fort the tie.
this game is only 2/3rds over...
Good.
Blargh. Phelps with elbow inflammation???
[130] = UCL
It's been an entertaining game and all, but I sure wish the announcers would spend some time talking about Fenway Park. It's historic, you know. And quirky. Lots of history there.
Thanks for strike 2, blue!
Yikes. Watcher lips!
YESmil!!
[132] my favorite ballpark evah!
[135] Very nice
esmil to the rotation is phelpsy is out?
Magic tag by Tex
fuck yeah. good play by the corner guys!
YESmil thru 3 w/ 3 Ks and a walk.
44 pitches
DON'T dive into first. jesus.
No triple for you, Mr. Gardner. PS--stop sliding into 1B.
So, I hear Betances throws 100 MPH.
[144] I hear he pitches every day.
Nasty.
Whifffffff.
beautiful, dellin.
11 pitches.
i would like some geico runs...
RI - see [88]
[144] and his hand is so big that it looks like he's pegging a golf ball.
[149] it was ME had to check MY email, haha!
3,426!!!
Mariano Time!!!
oh, wait...
let's go HAMMA!!!
Down to this...come on Ala Ham Bro.
Oh, god. Throw strikes, please, David. Please.
That last pitch was a strike.
Not good.
Unfuckinbelievable.
This is one of those "I can't figure out what the hell the strikezone is" games.
Its been weird for both teams, though, so there's no real outrage
i hate the fens in the bottom of the 9th.
i hate leadoff walks just as much. : /
i kinda wanted to leave dellin in, even though he pitches all the time...
Just ignore Mookie Betts. Just get these fuckers out.
[159] exactly.
wasted pitch.
throw strikes.
of course, he's gonna steal now...
No. No pitchout, no plays. Just outs.
Plays!
HEADS UP!!!
That'll work
Lucky lucky lucky, thank you
Yes, exactly, like that!
Unfuckingbelievable. : )
this fucking guy.
[168] Lucky > Good.
Oy.
Come on, fer chrisake.
i hate this...
great. he's gonna walk him. then the fat fuck is gonna win the game...
Robertson is determined to make this difficult
Ohhhhhh....
Whew.
jesus.
Oh holy hell
Scary foul.
Yay!!!!!
Escape to New York
Just in time
Captain!!!
Down three runs... twice! Two good comebacks.
That was close. Jeter with the range. ; )
Cheers, all! Atta boy, Dave.
Whew and phew. Nice pick by Jeter. That was kinda make you feel alive exciting.
[185] No pasta for you, Pony!
Esmil:player of the game?
[190] 4 ribbies for Drew gets my vote ...
[190] could be, or Gardner, but three innings of shutout pitching in Fenway is up there too.
[190][191] Gotta go gritty and gutty.
Brett's turning into a "professional hitter." And he's always been a "team player."
The later was used by the ESPN crew to describe Prado during the game.
[tears hair out]
oops...that should have been [latter]
