    Listening to ARod and Matt Vasgersian during a game makes me want to bash my head against a wall repeatedly.

    I wanted to watch the Houston game today, but the announcers, also ESPN, were just disgusting with their Verlander fluffery, talking about his wedding and finally winning a Series and how good he is at 35 and he wants to still be pitching when he's 40.  All I could think about is my Mariners have managed in many one-run games to get to only one game behind the dreaded Astros in the AL West and these guys couldn't manage even a single Ms mention. 

    Do these networks scour the Earth for the most droning one-note dolts they can find to put on national TeeVee?

    Why would anyone wear 4 inch heels? Makes no sense to me.

    They make perfect sense -- they're not made for walking, or walking very far I should say.  They're "throw me on the bed and fvck me" pumps.   evilgrin.gif

  3. I think the Mika/Avenhottie* thing is mutual.  Mika was asking him question after question and when Ari took over Avenhottie grinned at her and said "that was a great examination" and you could just see her preen. 

    *Great nickname!

    She's awful.

    Yes, she is. 

    Joe isn't the only middle-aged white boy to have a crush on Bari.  Count Bill Maher in that same fan club as she's scheduled to be on Real Time this Friday, which means I'm very likely to skip it.

  5. Into the way-back machine and I found someone who nicely uploaded Pat Benatar's full-length albums onto the YouTube.  The only song I skip on "Innamorata" is "Papa's Roses."

    ETA:  Still on the Pat Benatar kick, this time "Wide Awake in Dreamland."  The earworm that brought me back to her this time was "Cerebral Man," but I always stick around for "Too Long a Soldier," one of the best anti-war songs I've ever heard.

  6. The Ms called up 2B Gordon Beckham from Tacoma.  He hit .300 and 3 HR in 14 games.  I think it was Blowers who mentioned on the TV broadcast last night that Beckham had a really good spring and that the club was disappointed to have had to send him down. 

    Glass half full, I know. 

  7. I can only handle Rachel in small doses as well. 

    What's most annoying, I'm a day sleeper, so I miss everything the first time through.  I would love to be able to watch Chris Hayes, Ari Melber, and Lawrence O On-Demand, but can't because they're not included,  We only get Hardball, MTP Daily, Rachel, and 11th Hour.

  8. Yet another sausage fest, but only five.  I guess Bill couldn't find a woman to fill the one slot he always saves for one. 

    I was a little proud of Bill.  During the Duncan Hunter interview at the top of the show, Hunter tried to go to the Clinton Foundation as an example of something that should've been better investigated and Bill came right back at him and said you crossed the line and that's total bullshit.  I applauded. 

    Overtime was all Duncan Hunter, though.  I wish he hadn't stuck around.

    Noah Rothman looks like Marc Halperin.

    So glad I'm not the only one who sees that.  I thought I was crazy.  And they started having Rothman on a lot right after Halperin got banished to the a #MeToo wilderness, seemed like right on cue.

    Her name was Saundra Levy.

    Ms. Levy worked for a Democrat, Rep. Gary Condit.  Condit got run out of DC on a rail.  Ms. Levy's disappearance was all the M$M could talk about that summer before 9/11. 

    The double standard was as infuriating then as it is now.

    SB wasn't bad with the baby Michaels.

    True.  Jason Morgan was still just a baby himself then, though. 

    I'm on the Barge because I won't support Friz.  I can only imagine how hard it must be for Jason to know his son is living with and Liz is sleeping with Franco.  The holding back could seem like coldness or indifference.

  12. I'm still on my Friz non-support Barge boycott, so as speculation, take me back to the Liz/Drew wedding day and he forgives her for knowing about him and wanting to be with him as Jake's dad and the man she always wanted without Sonny and "the life," I'm like hell yes. 

    Thanks to the vid posted above I know Liz is still with the psycho, so I can stay on the Barge.  Blech. 

  13. Bill's lampooning of the liberal pearl-clutching criticism of Amy Schumer's movie was a waste of Bill's national platform.  He's stuck in a time warp where his show is still called Politically Incorrect and the world's biggest problem is snowflakes on college campuses. 

    I enjoyed the Meacham interview.  Meacham gets fellated nearly every day when he's on MSNBC, so being asked questions by someone who's not being a fluffer is probably a rare experience for him.  (I put his new book on my wish list, but will probably wait till it comes out in trade paperback to buy it.)

    Stockton is a large city in Central California.  There's no way an educated person like Bill would know as little about it as he pretended to in his interview with Mayor Tubbs.  And Bill seemed to want to let his libertarian flag fly with his contemptuous dismissal of the Universal Basic Income experiment the mayor is undertaking.  I wanted to smack Bill for that.  

    I can't believe incels are even a thing.   OKCupid is free and it takes all kinds.

    Corey Seager is out for the season due to Tommy John Surgery.

    I seriously want to cry about this, only because as a Mariners fan Kyle Seager has been my favorite baseball stud muffin for five years now and I laughed my head off last year when Kyle wore a jersey on a promo night saying "Corey's Brother."  And believe it or not this year Kyle has belied his "slow start" reputation and come out of the gate not slow.

    She is just incredibly wrapped up in how she looks on camera. 

    I think Mika is probably old enough to remember Jane Pauley reaching the magic "age" where women were no longer suitable to be on camera and the dust-up where she was fired and Deborah Norville was brought in to replace her.

  16. Ana-Marie Cox wasn't wearing a bomber jacket or showing off her arm art, which was good, but that bed head hair was distracting. 

    Did Bill make a "Frank Sinatra's your dad joke" to Ronan Farrow?  Maybe it was my wishful thinking considering how much I loathe Woody Allen. 

    Podhoretz was less annoying than I thought he would be.  He's the token RWer on MSNBC sometimes and I've wanted to break my TeeVee listening to him, but not tonight. 

    New Rules was awesome.  Bill considers Roseanne a friend and so as a friend he did a Twitler-supporter-related intervention and it was great.  (I have not been able to make myself watch her new show.  Maybe I'll binge it when the season is over.) 

    ETA:  Overtime was everybody selling their books, kind of a waste.
