Star Pitcher Pinched

Star Pitcher Sullies Team, Caught With Hooch
Teammates View Art Nehf Askance, Mindful of Series Loss
With the hopes and year-long dreams of post-championship attaboys dashed by the cross-town behemoth Yankees, whose steadfastness in the face of worthy competition proved too daunting for even our nifty boys, star pitcher Art Nehf was caught with a hip flask full of hooch, besmirching his name and reputation as well as that of his fair team.
Though Nehf's doggy, Joe Brooks appearance has always led this observer to believe that he partook of a belt of giggle water whenever convenient, the official pinch only confirms our suspicions. Nehf proved to be quite the sap by carrying the skee on the hip; though he was not zozzled at the time of his arrest, there is every indication that he was planning on going hoary-eyed through the streets of New York, stumbling from speakeasy to speakeasy.
Far be it from this observer to be the town killjoy, but Nehf's predilection for getting owled or fried to the hat whenever the opportunity arose quite possibly could be the reason for the Giants' crushing defeat in the Contest of Contests this solemn autumn. For no Yankees player has yet to be popped for panther sweat in the past year, which just might account for their uncanny ability to hit on all sixes when their backs were against the Polo Grounds center field wall. No impartial party has yet reported that fellas like Wally Pipp, Whitey Witt, or "Babe" Ruth have besotted themselves in a quest to get canned from whatever bathtub skee dribbled into their cup, so we can only assume that their gumption, discipline, and fortitude served them well.
The youth of today deserve more from Art Nehf, whose swanky glad rags prove a tell-tale sign of the gin-mill gadfly who lost the final game of a grueling Fall contest, possibly while splifficated. For shame, Mr. Nehf. For shame.

I didn’t have a chance to write the last few days since i was too busy getting drunk with friends and having fun, but just wow with Jahvid Best, glad to hear he’s doing ok though, that was just scary and makes you sick to your stomach watching that
They showed that ummmm “highlight” ? last night during the Sharks game. That was one scary touchdown.
Too bad they lost the game.
very depressing
We were sitting in the opposite end zone, so couldn’t really see WTF had happened. But in 4 years of playing and who knows how many of watching HS, college, and pro games live, I never saw the entire team kneel down around the player. Seems to be “only” a concussion; we all mostly assumed it was a spine injury b/c of the long down time.
Then, once he was moved off, the Bears came out to kick the PAT… talk about anticlimactic. Cal was never going to come back anyway but having lost a teammate to a season-ending injury in a game, I can tell you it’s easy to say “win one for the Gipper” but a lot harder to do it when you’re worried whether you’ll see your friend again in one piece anytime soon.

I did a quick Google search- and I’m not going to bother showing my work here- and found most sites saying that it was invented along with several of Grant’s examples above by some cartoonist in the 1920s. There’s a smaller contingent that says it dates from the 1700s, because of the quality of the pajamas of a tailor named Katz.

Seriously, I thought they’d win this one! Mr. Merope went to this game with some guys from work, it seemed like a boring game to me. Then again he’s a Bengals fan so he’s rather used to less than stellar play.
They’ve paid their dues. And remember like most sports, it’s usually the bandwagon jumpers that are the obnoxious pricks. Mr Merope’s family have been season ticket holders for at least 10 years and they know what came before.
Longtime Bengals fans must hate the 49ers. Two times they go to the Super Bowl and lose twice in close games vs. the 49ers.

Bengals were the only team to give the 49ers trouble. They routed the Broncos, Dolphins and Chargers.

Man, the Bengals could very well be 7-1 if not for that miraculous catch in the first week (I think?)

Oh yea, this year is just pissing me off, and you know, every fuckin team i root for in the Bay Area, the Sharks… blow it in the playoffs, the niners haven’t been good in over 5 years, the Warriors? Just hopeless all the time, and their owner is one of the dumbest GM’s if not THE DUMBEST in the NBA, and lastly the giants? i just hope they’ll get better next year. But you know, i love being a fan of all these teams, even though they all give me headaches
I’m the worst kind of fan for the Warriors: apathy. I reached a point where I don’t care what they do. I now get a kick out of all the issues there.

They got their ass kicked by two of the worst teams in the NBA: Clippers and Kings.

So Mr. Merope just got back from the 9er “game”… do they always play with beach balls during games at the Stick?
don’t blame em, i really have to say, the niners looked good but, defensively they couldn’t stop nobody, and the niners NEEEEEEED to open it up more, and spread the ball around
They threw it 40 times
and ran it 18. They don’t need to open anything up

Turnovers.

Actually that’s a good point, when you turn the ball over 4 times and the opponent has 0? what do you think the outcome will be?
You gotta take care of the ball… this team is young and doesn’t play with a high football IQ. Stupid mistakes, especially turnovers and penalties kill them… it’s frustrating to watch.
Utter frustration and futility.

I think it’s safe to say, by now, that they just don’t have the talent on either side of the ball.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
ummmmmm, you know, you’re right, Willis aint shit, Gore aint shit, Davis aint shit, Crabtree sucks…. i detect sarcasm
They have some talented players, but I mean they lack depth, especially in the secondary and wide receiver. O-line’s a pretty rickety group too.
I don’t think it’s the play-calling.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
They got 2 picks in the 1st round, their own and Carolina’s.

they need a whole mess of DB’s. another WR or two couldn’t hurt either.
Please hit better, Randy Winn.
How do you arrive at them needing ANOTHER WR?
Between Crabtree, Morgan, Hill, and Jones, I’d say that’s the area of LEAST need right now.
I’d put the order of need at OL, then QB (depending on if Smith improves at all), then pass rusher, then DB, specifically safties. I think Brown is legit if he stays healthy, and I think Clements will be worth paying next year. Spencer is pretty solid as well, so the CB depth actually isn’t that bad.
The pass rush has been SORELY lacking, and that makes the defensive backfield look worse than it is. Remember the first few games? When they got pressure on the QB regularly the DBs looked a lot better.

funny but slightly off-topic note
I was watching the game with Closed Captioning on because it’s kind of a pain to turn it off in Windows Media Center. Anyway, “Tennessee Titans” was translated as “Tennessee Tightness”.
There you have it, folks...
Irrefutable proof that Grant is a genius.
A mad genius, but a genius nevertheless.
Totally OT
but if you guys thought my fantasy baseball talk was bad this year, I’m pretty much going to be banned next year. Couple of us joined a dynasty league this offseason and the endless nerding is going to be ridiculous.

I try and avoid most fantasy leagues. I’ll do salary cap ones (I do one for NFL, had Chris Johnson of the Titans) but I don’t do draft leagues.

This one is insane
it’s not like a normal league- each player takes over an entire MLB team’s roster- including minor league systems. You have to fit in your whole roster under a 100 mil cap and you can only keep players that have less than 6 service years. The rest are all free agents who anyone can bid on. And the draft is for actual draftees, not established players. So basically you’re the GM of a team.
I’m going to know more about the Cardinals’ entire system than pretty much anyone else.
