one TV commentary (not postable here, thank you nbc) broke into shock as the on air reporter interrupted his report to say, "my god, they're smoking weed over there!" The center fielder for the fuckin Texans (he's a recovering addict who credits Jesus for saving him, though last time i spoke with Jesus she said quote, "Hardly pay attention to the asshole."), who deserves to play in Texas, complained that the people in the bleachers over his head were smoking dope.
The Jints, notorious season long for just beating one more run than the other team, if they won at all, has demolished the rangers 11-7 and 9-0. WOOHOO!!! "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
If you want to put in an UPDATE, you've done that. If you want the title to be followed by UPDATE, just type that in to the title field.
If you want to bump the diary in the list, I can do that.
As it stands, the poll only has two options. What do you want to add?
as for the poll, twice or 3x i put in ten or so answers, which never show up. am i supposed to click update, or am i supposed to click save?
is the [UPDATE] a macro?
don't need to bump it (but thanks), when i'm ready i'll click the new timestamp button, oder? "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
Next, I don't know what the difference between the Update and Save buttons is. Maybe none. [UPDATE] is some kind of system macro, not user-defined in any case. It doesn't kick in on Preview, but when you hit Save or Update.
The image: aligned left by default. Where do you want it?
The poll: aargh I seem to remember people having problems editing or adding to a poll. I can try if you give me the list (by mail if you want).
I say, it's not cricket, old chap. You're not allowed to scratch your balls in cricket, obviously. Though you may spit-and-polish them.
Do you want that hideous picture in the middle?
Brian Wilson is our closer, the pitcher who comes in at the end to preserve a lead. Lots of tension, one must be mentally very tough. So often, they're just egotistical assholes.
But Wilson is savvy, he knows how to have intelligent fun with the media. He was being interviewed on some sports show, and had that guy appear briefly at one point in the background. No explanation, no comment, nothing, just "oh, that's the machine."
don't know if he's gay or not. he once told the major sports network on another interview show he was a certified ninja. Certified? How were you certified? Had a dream once.
So he goes against any stereotype in baseball, and fits right in with the San Francisco wierdos. Plus he's a hell of a closer. "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage." - Anaïs Nin
In evidence:
Bill "Spaceman" Lee pitched for 14 years in the majors and said many discerning things about baseball. IMO the best was:
Baseball's a very simple game. All you have to do is sit on your butt, spit tobacco, and nod at the stupid things your manager says.
[Note: he regularly called, in interviews, his manager Don Zimmerman, "the designated gerbil."]
This interview on Baseball Almanac gives a good idea of his personality. She believed in nothing; only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist. -- Jean-Paul Sartre
