Around SBN: Padres Trade Khalil Greene To Cardinals Bar-right-arrows

Open Playoffs Thread, 10/6

Grant_tiny by Grant on

Is anyone else pretending that the Giants actually moved to Tampa in 1993 and are still in the playoffs, or is that just me?

Does that mean we get Evan Longoria, Scott Kazmir, BJ Upton, and still get to keep the Giants in SF?

You must not be watching the Directv commercial that uses Poltergeist.

Too bad they couldn’t make the creepy girl do the talking. Of course, she’s dead, so that may be hard. Or maybe that would be extra creepy.

I’m pretty sure I could watch Frank Caliendo do his Al Pacino for seven hours straight before getting tired of it. Sorry. I must be that guy.

Most of his impressions are alright, but cramming them down our throats during every commercial break wears a bit thin.

as much as you may not like the guy, his George Bush is completely spot on. I’d say it’s even better than Will Ferrell’s

His Charles Barkley is impressive, too.

Really, I’ve got nothing against the guy, I’m just not going to watch his show.

Now, Dane Cook, that’s another matter.

I'm with you, Grant

The show will get old after a while, but his main ones (Bush, Madden, Pacino, DeNiro, Barkley) are pretty funny for the time being.

OT - Cheerwine

At long last, I tracked down some Cheerwine locally. I bought two bottles (one for me, one for the fella). There was a lady ahead of me at the register at BevMo buying a few bottles; in fact, the guy manning the wine tasting table in the back (yes, I stopped off there first. Don’t judge me!) told me that there’s a devoted local following, and the store goes through its supply pretty quickly.

At any rate – I enjoyed it very much. I agree with whoever said “like Dr. Pepper, but better.” It had a good flavor and the smoothness of real sugar.

Next time I’m at BevMo, I’ll be loading up some more.

So to whoever first brought it up – thanks for the suggestion!

I might have to check BevMo next time I’m near one. I’m intrigued.

help. I am stranded in Utah. I signed up for MLB.tv only to have them tell me the whole country is blacked out. I have very few hairs left on my head. I called MLB again and they say TBS is streaming it on MLB.com. Well kinda. I have no commentary and it sounds like someone just threw a mic out on hte field. This really sucks.
