What game?
I thought today was an off-day.

Old Anchor for Fox Santa Maria...
And the promo for the show was just her laughing as the camera zoomed in and out… slowly…

Moleman is a solid choice
of the peripheral characters not already mentioned, Snake would definitely be in the running to make my top 5

Sideshow Luke Perry.

It's like kissing a peanut
Hans Moleman is incredible.

I’m going to have to go with Montgomery Burns. All of the side-characters are pretty one dimensional, but he’s got to be the most consistent source of amazing story lines of any of them (along with Sideshow Bob, of course)
Kang and Kodos get honorable mention, along with possibly Cletus.

I liked Gil until he got his own moving-in-with-the-Simpsons episode. That was too much.
So, Sideshow Mel.
Trent Kline: Decentish. Also, my website is called ChatterBalks Dot Com and on it I make jokes about things.
I always saw Gil as sort of a pathetic substitute for the Phil Hartman characters. Sort of a blend of Lionel Hutz and Milhouse’s dad.
FAIL
Gil is a direct reference to Jack Lemmon’s character in Glengarry Glenross, no?

Sideshow Mel ended up being REALLY REALLY lame when they started making him the “says everything with a big annoying british accent” guy.

Sideshow Bob is also one of my favorites
…and his brother Cecil.
(I got a kick out of the fact that they used David Hyde Pierce for his voice)
Ralph might not be my favorite, especially after they mangled the character in later seasons by assumin that he was funny because he was stupid (which is bullshit… his stupidity is the vehicle for the jokes… but it can NEVER be the joke… once it is the joke it’s not funny anymore… first rule of comedy in my book… same reason Homer got so bad later, and, well, every character), BUT he does have my favorite moment so I’ll give him the nod.
Ralph playing with the mailbox is hysterical TO THE MAX.

I guess Abe wouldn't be considered ancillary
But this Abe soliloquy is one for the ages.
"We can’t bust heads like we used to, but we have our ways. One trick is to tell them stories that don’t go anywhere. Like that time I took the ferry over to Shelbyville; I needed a new heel for my shoe. So, I decided to go to Morganville, which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So I tied an onion to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel, and in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on them. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now where were we? Oh yeah, the important thing was that I had an onion on my belt, which was the style at the time. They didn’t have any white onions, because of the war; the only thing you can get was those big yellow ones."
Billy Hayes: His job is better than yours.
Always a favorite
and reading that made me burst out laughing like I did the first time.
“Ah. My first beard.”

Many good ones
I’m not sure who my favorite one is, so I’ll mention one that hasn’t been mentioned and has always cracked me up for some reason. Of course, she might not be an ancillary character. She’s only been in two things that I know of (an episode and the movie).
Anyway.
Only 855 games until the end of Zito's contract
See, that's the problem
I haven’t seen much recent Simpsons.

The symptoms you describe
point to boneus eruptus. Its a terrible disorder, where the skeleton tries to leap out the mouth and escape the body! I’ll need a golf cart motor and a 1,000 volt capacimator, STAT!
Giants! Giants! HELP US GOD!
Ancillary
I love my little redneck town but, I am willing to wager a large amount of cash that I do not know anyone who could define ancillary. [sigh] I love you guys.

I was drowning my post-game sorrows by watching an episode of Freaks and Geeks on DVD, but it appears the DVD is scratched as it keeps freezing 19 minutes in. WHY DOES THE WORLD HATE ME?

In case you didn't already feel bad enough about our lack of homers
Today, the White Sox tied a major league record with 4 straight homers.
I wonder if Hawk Harelson got at all excited about that?

Sure, they SAY they're straight, but they are at least partially kidding themselves.

i just finished reading each post in this thread
and i have no clue what is happening.
Dodgers fans eat their young.
They’re trying him in the 3:00 hole for a while to see he can provide some spark earlier in the show.

Eventually he’ll be benched in favor of whoever’s the flavor of the month.
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
Doesn’t matter. Tyler Walker will come along and ruin the show somewhere near the end
Brian Sabean's new dad: Firm believer in corporal punishment
WHY DO THEY INSIST ON BRINGING TYLER WALKER ONTO THE SHOW AT 7:00??? HE SHOULD BE ON NO LATER THAN 5:00 UNLESS IT’S A TERRIBLE SHOW ALREADY!!!

Defined roles, dammit! He was designated as the 7:00 guy, and he’ll be the 7:00 guy, no matter what the actual situation!! You don’t get a head this big without knowing a little bit about managing a broadcast, you know!
It's my blarg! Quick Pitch
So, if anyone’s interested, they’re showing the latest classic Giants game on CSN now. 1989, Giants-Dodgers. Bob Kmepper pitching. Joe Morgan and Duane Kuiper announcing. Fun!

that’s because he wasn’t giving his opinions, but just saying (or trying to) say what was happening on the field.
