And to think I decided last night that I was already sick of VD (a month and a half prior) after gazing upon the first display of VD items at Schnucks: Cards to start Spring Training on Feb. 14
Now if I could just get a date/anti-date, Valentine’s Day might maybe could turn out alright this year. With that vital information for our everyday survival, my focus can now turn to devising a plan to acquire Opening Day tickets.
You know, YouTube isn’t half bad for feeding baseball addictions in the offseason. You’ve gotta pace yourself, but there’s some quality material available for timewasting.
- Per GROTA, here’s an oldie but a goodie in Steve Goodman’s A Dying Cub Fan’s Last Request. How can you not like this guy?
Q: “As a fan, when the Cubs screw things up do you get angry? Do you boo?”
A: “Doesn’t pay to boo. They’ll be back to screw up some more tomorrow.”
- Go watch the follow-up interview, it’s worth it. It’s a terrible shame Goodman died so young.
- As pointed out by gopher100 over at VEB, David Eckstein is a terrible actor. Check it out for yourself as then-Angels Eckstein, Kennedy, and Spiezio guest star on She Spies. However, it doesn’t make me want to see his public [and surely staged] fight versus A.J. Pierzynski at a wrestling match any less.
- Hey, whaddya know?? Close enough.
- Simply a beautiful ending for Cardinal fans and an excellent reminder of why the team discontinued Seat Cushion Night after Tommy Herr.
It’s ironic how five years after that terrible episode of that terrible TV show was made, all three of those guys in it will be playing for the 2007 Cardinals.
Also, Valentine’s Day is on a Wednesday this year, which is pretty much the worst day for those who actually like that sort of thing. So at least you can take solace in that.
I’ve been trying really hard not to make a “VD” joke.
By all means, make it! I always wish my friends “Happy VD, spread it around!”
I don’t get it.
Ha! Good for you, MO Boiler!
This is going to bring some really fun spam, but VD = Venereal Disease, which is roughly equivalent to my opinion of Valentine’s Day. Basically, encouraging college students to spread around venereal disease instead of wishing them a happy day is funny stuff!
Ha… my sarcasm must have been a little too under-the-radar there.
I’m sorry to hear that Valentine’s Day leaves you with a burning sensation. It really shouldn’t be that bad.
