Anybody else find the music that Fox uses for their baseball promos a little strange -- Smashing Pumpkins' Tonight Tonight, and Ride of the Valkyries with pictures of aircraft carriers? (For those of you unfamiliar with the classics, Ride of the Valkyries is music composed by Dick Wagner for the Looney Tunes Bugs Bunny cartoon in which Elmer Fudd sings, "Kill da wabbit, kill da wabbit..." This music was later re-tooled and re-orchestrated by Dick's son, Dick Jr., for the movie, Apocalypse Now, and used in the scene where Robert Duvall's chopper cavalary storms the beach to surf. But enough with the history lesson.) |

that johnson.....is he just not the biggest lookin red neck in baseball? i mean seriously...you think he goes home to a trailor? a baseball-salary-modified trailor? if the yanks loose im gonna be so bummed. i could careless about the mariners or the d-backs. i hate those uniforms they have. that solid sleeve, stripped, cut-out looking shirt. and the redneck pitcherfuckerhaemmutherhrjasewodijiju&%^!$*%!&%^#&%!*%!^(!&*()#*)(* |

But for some reason I think the Mullet give him power. As for the ride of the vakeries theme... Its been used time and time again since Apocolypse Now to signify some sort of ass whoopin. And I guess this is what its for now too. |
|
Thats why I hope detroit wins it next year. I would say the expos, but their canadian. |
call it rooting for the underdog or whatever but i hope the mariners take it back to seattle at least so they can stuff a sock in the reeking maw of the ny media and i'm happy to see the braves go down to an expansion team. congrats, d-backs. |

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BRAVES! |

i hoped for a yankee/brave rematch...but no such luck. dave i dont view the yanks as the "rich guys doing great things" as much as I view them as a mega talented team with such entertaining players to watch you cant help but root for them. but ordinarily id pull for the underdog too. wait. the yanks were the underdog in the series with seattle, and the As. HA! |
To picture this, think of a five foot nothing stick of a woman with grandma smell and a great big smile. A heart of gold who never raised her voice because it was unladylike. Now, imagine a really bad call by an umpire. I never heard the woman curse, but as a child, nothing made me more nervous than to see my grandmother upset. She was like a little tornado all by herself. |

the trick is J, bring a flask, and bring your own food. we went to a dodger game once and brought a huge sack of peanuts, and filled our flask with whisky. Bought one big ass coke and we were set. |
Eeeww, stadium Coke is nasty -- by the time the dude gets it to you, it's all watery and tastes like the wax cup, and the cup's all sticky -- those saran-wrap "shower cap" things they put on the top are useless. I think the days of BYOB to any stadium are over. |
naw...flasks are easy to conceal in your wife's purse. they never check those thoroughly. |
