by bondslegend on Aug 18, 2008 11:52 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

See, the last name Kent is derived from the Old English word for “edge”, whereas the last name Kunt is derived from the ancient Scandinavian word for “dick.” It’s an elaborate etymological joke about how Jeff Kent is a dick.

I’m familiar with the meme… normally, though (whenever I’m around to see it, anyway), I’m the one who makes up a wacky episode scenario to close the deal. But since I was the one getting hit with it this time, it didn’t seem right for me to explain a made up episode to myself.

I suppose I could have just waited for somebody else to pick up on the finish instead of artificially pushing for one, though.

What’s truly frightening is that we’re not the worst. The Nationals have scored 8 fewer runs – in two more games.

And they didn’t sign their first-round pick. Anytime I get really depressed about the Giants, I just think to myself, it could be worse: I could be a Nationals fan.

This is true to a point. Except the Nats have a history of futility, dating back to Expos days (except for that one, glorious strike shortened season long ago). The Giants are supposed to have resources and a rich history of excellence to draw on. And this is the product they put on the field. Expectations are higher (even if modestly so this year), so the sting of suckitude is greater.

I was watching on tv from New Jersey, but I still remember Snow coming up, seeing the Giants down 3 runs, and thinking, “Hey, wouldn’t it be cool if Snow hit one out here?” about five seconds before he did, and then jumping up and down like a fool.

Fuck Benny Agbayani. Fuck him right in the ear.

I meant the Bobby Jones game. At least the Agbanyani game had that one great moment to get excited about. The Bobby Jones game was just grim. Like the siege of Stalingrad, if the Nazis had all worn Mets gear. Which according to some historians they did, but it hasn’t been conclusively proven one way or another.

Also I was sitting in the very last seat of the next-to-last row in the top tier in right field. I was nearly grazed by jets several times.

Has anyone else noticed that when they play the anthem in Beijing after any American wins gold, they’re playing it in a much lower key than the usually do here? It actually sounds really good, imo. Plus some nice orchestral string flourishes.

I was at a museum yesterday at which was installed a piece of video art that included a bunch of women wearing American flags and humming the Star Spangled Banner. One at a time they took off their flags, under which they were wearing nothing at all, and left the stage. The room was almost empty so the museum guards started singing along with the song. I’ve never enjoyed the anthem so much.
