For those of you not familiar with Peter King’s SI column, he put out a recent plea for suggestions for new topics that he can include in his weekly column.  Below is the list I’ve come up with that’ll fit nicely into his writing style:

Who Ass Am I Smoochin’ This Week?

Current GPS Location Of My Daughter

Another Wonderful Thing About Colgate!

Thing I Swallowed Whole

Stop Me Before I Mingle Again!

My Pity Blowjob Of The Week

Things In Brett Favre’s Garbage

Unexpected Thing I Found In My Stool

Another Brilliant Insight From Tiki Barber

Miscellaneous Douchebaggery

Starbucks-Approved Liberal Viewpoint Of The Week

Movie I Saw Recently That You Saw Seven Years Ago

Gratuitous Praise For “House”

What Is Wrong With People Who Aren’t Me?

Another Reason Why I Love Sugarless Gum

Thing I Got To Do That You Are Too Poor To Do

Hysterical Thing Frank Caliendo Did

This Week’s Opinion I Formed After Reading Newsweek

Edgy U2 Song I Like!

Safe Word Of The Day

Thing I Saw That I Couldn’t Believe

Uninformed Baseball Opinion

I’ll start it off:

Interestinghausen.

Stinkringhausen.

Suckringhausen.

Cockringhausen.

…

So, Tall Mike and I were talking recently.  While no good ever comes of that, we did decide to look into adding an ecommerce section to half-shirt, which is an harmless enough proposition.  The first — and most obvious — offering would be revamped ”Left Field Bleachers Rules” shirts, including a revamp of the “rules” themselves.

Which means, for starters, I need someone to post what the original rules are.

Anybody got ‘em?

The twerps who always reserve the area and have the hyperexclusive port-a-john really went overboard with their reserving skills. I kinda cut and shortened their tape (so far they haven’t noticed, but when they do things could get interesting) and squeezed out enough room for a couple of cars, though…including mine. The lot has also maximized their “VIP section”, so there’s not as much free-form parking around here now, either.

Bottom line, same place, same time, but if it starts to rain on us, we’re going to need to get belligerent with some people.
Of course, it won’t rain until game time, so no worries.

DUNEDIN, Fla.–Jays third baseman Scott Rolen returned to Dunedin yesterday with a soft cast on his injured right hand and plans for an extended rehab.

Rolen is feeling his way through the process, but said Baltimore hand surgeon Dr. Thomas Graham has advised him to prepare for a 4-to-6 week rehabilitation. Read the rest of this entry →

First of all, I hate that term.  I might, however, be able to get past that if I like this.  With more posters, maybe it’ll work.

But the background HAS to go.  I’m sure it’s taking up tons of space and slowing things down, but it’s very distracting, at least on the computers I view it.  Depending on where you scroll to, you might not be able to see the links to the forum, etc. because of the background.  I think it needs to be simpler.  A background to me doesn’t become the focus of the page.  It’s for the same reason that I hate myspace.  Users on there go crazy with backgrounds and you can’t read anything.

What father son pitching combo in the major leagues has the last name that earns the most points for an opening word play in Scrabble?

Hints: 

1. It’s worth 138 points, including the bingo.
2. They have 11 appearances between them.

I expect no one to get this, because of the obscurity and random-ness.  It’s from a source, which I won’t reveal until I feel like it to avoid giving away the answer.

The location should be secured first thing in the morning, but it may be unmanned until 10:30am or so. It all depends..

Official Tailgate Start Time = 11:30am, but the beers will be cold and the grill will be preparing to fire up by 11:00.

Get in touch with me ahead of time for txt contact info.

Bring beverages, food and (or) 5-10 bucks. That’d be $5 for the unlimited* food, $5 for the unlimited* beer. (*If you go nuts with the term, feel free to adjust the figures upward as your conscience demands..)

WooHOO!

Re the photo: The “A” thumbtack is directly on The Billboard.

Remember, Monday is a normal workday, so parking downtown should suck quite a bit more than last year.
