Web is a lost cause.  He spent four innings griping about how boring it was, how the fans weren't even interested, how boring it was (yeah, you're getting off easy hearing that one only twice, trust me).

Then he made some lame excuse about how the boy controls the TV so he had to turn it off after the 4'th inning was over.

AND THEN he had the nerve to tell me I have to watch half a Huskers game now! 

Web, Web, Web.  Apple Pie, Cheverolet and Huskers?  Somethings askew in middle America

Awe man . . . you forgot the chewing. Lots and lots of chewing. Then after the chewing was more chewing. Chew, chew, chew. Hours of watching dudes sit behind a fence, adjust their hats and chew on their cud.

Oh, yeah, and the 10 minute super closeup the Cards player licking his face clean with his own tongue . . . THAT was fun.

 

 

I think you may be right . . . just to be safe, I better not watch any more baseball . . . . I'm willing to do that . . . for the team.

With football, you get action.

When there is no action, you get action via replays.

When there are no replays, you get cheerleaders.



In baseball, you get chewing.

And more chewing.

And spitting.

Sounds like an old married couple there Web and riggs.


Kiss and make up....

and Riggs, take the curlers out of your hair....you look ridiculous!

Ooooooooo and adjusting.

I didn't see quite as much adjusting as I remember last time I tried to watch baseball.

Maybe thats what the Cards player was doing while we had the close up of him cleaning his nose out with his tongue.

 

 

Tuesday--I am melting-even for me. It was 119 yesterday and looks to be the same today. I burned my feet on the sidewalk yesterday. The news reported that it was 180 degrees on the cement. So, how smart am I?

Good day everyone, and glad to see you feeling better Mz. Hope you enjoy the wierd newz I sent.

cp

Nice to see you CP. Hope things are better.

Thanks, a bit better today. Here is a note to the wise. Call AFLAC. Seriously, call them. Did you know you could get a policy by yourself for as little as 10.00 per month? What is 10 buks, some spend that in starbuks for one day. If I would have had that disability insurance I would be better. You never know what may happen. One thing I have learned is that, there but the grace of God go I. I now know how people end up in trouble, homeless etc.

Part of me thinks that it is God teaching me a lesson in humility. One now that I know I desperately needed.

cp

CP,  I am not sure of the specifics of what you are going through, but I will keep you in my prayers man.

Darlene - not even in the NL are the Brewers America's team.

So even if .... big "IF" Web were to love baseball from all the convincing points you are trying to do Riggs, what good is it? Do you think he'll like the Brewers??? Nooooo??!!?!??!!?! So why bother

 Darlene,

It just stands to reason that if he develops a love of baseball he'll develop a love of the Brewers.  Come on!  We're AMERICA'S team!

Says who?? You??? How come no matter what park or stadium the Red Sox play in as an away team more than half the fans are Red Sox fans?? America's Team..??? maybe the National league, but doubt it on the over all fan basis!

Half the fans?  Are you drunk!  You're not supposed to drink until AFTER work D!

A good sized portion of the country hates the Red Sox, NOBODY hates the Brewers

The only team that comes close to your claim of half the fans on the road being for them is the Chicago Cubs.  I was watching them play Arizona last night and you'd have sworn it was a home game.

The Brewers are America's team because America loves and underdog.  And in October David (that's us) will slay Goliath (that's you). 



Sorry, but you know it's true.

 

Yeah, I don't think Philly has many haters out there.

If you're payroll is under 120 million people generally don't hate on you.

Truth is I like the Red Sox and I think Darlene knows that. They battle the most hated team in baseball and really have no choice but to play money ball because they're in that division.

Now if they still spent ridiculous sums of money on their players even without the Yankees around, then I'd add em' to the teams I hate list.

Web,  if you root for philly, you have to take an oath to boo santa clause and pelt him with snow balls....its tradition, right Fuzzy?

First of all, snowballs and Santa were Eagles fans and it was at least 700 years ago. Not all Eagles fans are stupid drunks. 

Second of all, we all know that football fans and baseball fans are very different. Granted, there are crossover fans.

Third, I would gladly accept Web as a Phillies fan. I don't expect him to watch the game or discuss baseball in depth with me. Just knowing that he will say "Go Phillies!" and mean it is good enough for me.

And fourth, Web is already a part time Eagles fan. So there. He should root for all other Philadelphia related sports.

And did I mention that our indoor football team - Philadelphia Soul - will be playing for the championship this Sunday on ABC? Another minor sports championship in this city will not hurt a thing. We have quite a few. We can't help it our major sports always fall short.
