Just wanted to get it off my chest.

Also, here's a link to one of his stupider articles.

Can you believe 66% of over 6000 Dodger fans would rather have Manny Ramirez than have 50 youth baseball fields? Facking bums…

The bases were drunk, and I painted the black with my best yakker. But blue squeezed me, and I went full. I came back with my heater, but the stick flares one the other way and the chalk flies for two bases. Three earnies! Next thing I know, skipper hooks me and I'm sipping suds with the clubby.

Plaschke

Likes to eat neutered animal sex organs.

Plaschke states, “I guess I like penis, it’s very tasty.”

I think the dumbest part about that, is how self-righteous he gets about there being dog penis on the menu.

The Denker bus is now bound for San Diego. Those who were passengers on it are now angrily stranded at a gas station in Modesto, CA. Not much about baseball here .

I actually thought he was trying to be fair-minded about it. It’s still an annoying thing that fails on a number of levels, but he’s clearly, at least, taking open-mindedness seriously.

And never underestimate how much Americans love their dogs. It’s not just Plashke. It’s the whole big fat country. It’s not self-righteousness. It’s actually American culture right there.

The real problem is just that the whole thing revolves around “oh, the Chinese eat weird stuff!” when really that’s a specialty restaurant that represents almost nothing at all outside of it’s own 65 foot radius.

In memory of FJM
On Tuesday afternoon, Jamie McCourt gave every fan something so awkward and ill-conceived, it bobbed its head and gobbled. The turkey was dressed in quote marks and stuffed with outrageousness.

Dude, do you think that’s clever? It reads like something from this blog.

While Dodgers fans will certainly have fun chewing on it, they will never, ever swallow.

Wow, that’s like deep, man.

No, $30 million is not weird, it’s the price of competitive baseball.

Well, I wouldn’t say that, considering that it’s more than any player has ever gotten in the history of baseball.

The fans want their money to go to one field only, the one occupied by the Dodgers, anything else is unethical and even immoral.

Unethical and immoral? Boy, you must really hate charity.

Do you really expect Dodgers fans to accept a lesser team for the greater community good?

“Of course not,” she said. “Building a team and helping the city is not an either-or thing. We want to do both.”

You are agreeing. This article is officially useless.

Then why did you say it?

“It was a philosophical discussion, not a literal decision-making process,” she said.

So, philosophically, you think it’s wiser to invest in charity than championships? If you really believe this, should you even be owning a baseball team?

I’m guessing that Charity killed your dad and raped your mom.

Dodgers fans can understand the contrast. What they will not understand is if the Dodgers use that contrast as an excuse to not spend the money needed for this team to improve.

Again, she already said that it’s not going to happen. What do you want? And really, if it were a choice between charity and a good team, don’t you think that the FO would prefer the second choice?

Sports is not a reality show, it’s a fantasy world. The Dodgers are not a business, they’re an escape.

The Dodgers are also a business. Really, I swear. You can look it up.

If Babe Ruth could thrive in the Great Depression, then the Dodgers can field a championship team in 2009, no economic excuses accepted.

Seriously, what the hell does that even mean? You do know that Babe Ruth was player, not an organization, right? Unless you’re talking about the Yankees, in which case let me remind you that the entire 1930 Yankees team was making $73,000 (link)

Just calm down. Your team is still filthy rich. You have a lot of money to spend. No one is planning to use that money to cure the poor or feed AIDS or anything silly like that.

Serenity now, serenity now.

..so allow me to present Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain as two sweet, sweet bottles of warming hooch.

Starting tonight we’re having a little sales contest. The loser gets fired. The winner gets a Water Pik.

The bases were drunk, and I painted the black with my best yakker. But blue squeezed me, and I went full. I came back with my heater, but the stick flares one the other way and the chalk flies for two bases. Three earnies! Next thing I know, skipper hooks me and I'm sipping suds with the clubby.

YOU’RE NOT GIVING AWAY MY WATER PIK!

I’m glad to see someone finally take charity to task. It’s gotten a free pass for far too long.

I don't like Bill Plaschke

or Michael Wilbon. Or Tony Cornheiser. Or Jim Rome. Or Woody Paige. Or Jay Mariati.

No one likes Bill Plaschke.

Except maybe his kids…sometimes.

It was an accident. He and his wife got plaschtered one night and failed to use the prophylactic correctly… and the rest is history.

Oh, and what else is funny.

That poll in the mid-left part of the article was clearly meant to be 100% for signing Manny and 0% for charity. It was supposed to be a joke. Yet 36% said youth baseball fields. Teehee, Bill Plashke. Teehee.

by boonitez on Nov 29, 2008 11:41 AM PST reply actions   0 recs

Actually the poll was first attached to the original news story, no slant

If Bill were more Web savvy, he probably would have added his own Lou Dobbs-style poll, but guys like Bill still write their columns in microsoft word, then email it to their editors to be posted because they refuse to learn any new web publishing platforms.
