Hey all, it’s Labor Day weekend. Why are you all at work? Leave, call in sick, make yourself throw up all over your computer, whatever it takes to get an extra day of vacation. Except any Cubs fans that read this, you all need to stay. Come in Monday too while you’re at it. Although if you left I’m sure no one would miss you. As for me, I’m heading out for a little vacation. Four days of class is a tough week after all. Thin slate of baseball games yesterday, so I think I’ll pepper in some games of other sorts. Don’t worry though, baseball is up first.
Yankees 3, Red Sox 2: Jason Giambi hit his 27th homer of the year to tie the game in the 8th inning, and then hit the walkoff single in the 9th to win it. That ruined a great outing by Jon Lester, who threw 6.2 innings and gave up 1 run, striking out 8. Mark Kotsay also had his first hit as a member of the Red Sox.
Barack Obama 1, John McCain 0: Ball’s in your court, old man. Obama’s speech rocked the house last night and did a good job of illustrating why America doesn’t want a third George Bush in office. For the record I am an independent and have no political ties.
Nats 11, Dodgers 2: Clay Kershaw did not have the finest start of his Major League career. He lasted just 2.1 innings and gave up 5 runs. Christian Guzman hit his 6th homer of the season while hitting for the cycle, and Elijah Dukes had a multi homer game.
Coin 6, 4, 5; Ivanovic 3, 6, 3: The hottest of all tennis hotties is out of the US Open. Guys everywhere are sad.
Rays 3, Jays 2: It appears that my dream of seeing the 4th place New York Yankees isn’t going to happen this year. Edwin Jackson scattered 6 hits over 7 innings and picked up his 11th win of the season as he starts to deliver on some of the promise that followed him around as a top prospect in Los Angeles. Three relievers combined in the 8th, and Dan Wheeler got the 9th for his 10th save of the season.
North Dakota 40, Texas A&M-Kingsville 14: UND won it’s Division 1-AA debut, in which Brady Trenbeath caught 9 passes for 171 yards and 2 touchdowns. Senior quarterback Danny Freund was 18-25 for 260 yards and 2 TDs, but the Sioux showed that they will be affected by the loss of RB Ryan Chappell, who was ruled academically ineligible. 5 RBs got carries, including Branden Dungy, the nephew of Indianapolis Colts coach Tony Dungy
listen fetch, if you are going to bring up Ivanovic losing, include a friggin pic to make me feel better!
i’m going to vote for whoever gives me more of those free money checks we got in the mail back in May. that was sweet and good for people everywhere.
I wonder which QS Hef is going to hate more: a forgotten one or a mailed in one?
@sparty – this is a sausage party; no girls allowed here.
/Hef
when do we see the new site?
do you mean “when do we steal the new site?”
/jokes
ha ha. fucker
this is by far the best layout from WordPress.
I love it when Fetch does the roundup, because then I don’t have to be reminded that the Twins lost to the fucking A’s last night.
I still am searching for that elusive Oakland A’s fan. I saw a guy wearing an A’s hat the other day and I kinda did that “hey were both fans of the same team” nod to him, but he then said that he was a SF Giants fan and just likes the hat.
pki, you’re an A’s fan? i thought you were a Twins fan. Are you pulling a Hef?
when i was 11 I almost became a Pirates fan. my little league team was the Pirates,and ML them were in the midst of that nice little run with Bonilla, Bonds and Van Slyke. Then my father sat me down and read me the riot act.
No I am a Twins fan, but I have never met an A’s fan and I really want to know if they exist. I mean I see a few of them in the stands in Oakland, but I haven’t ever seen one in person.
Way to mail it in again kid. I get it, you’re a college student.
Frankly, when I was in college, I would still be asleep for about 3-4 more hours and wouldn’t be doing shit like this (a fifth of Jack’ll do that to you).
I sent Chad Durbin a bottle champagne last night. Absolutely LOVE seeing someone else’s bullpen blow a win for a starter that dominated (the highlights showed Hamels’ change looking absolutely retarded).
A good weekend to all of you.

Someone give Hawkeye one million Jew Stars. Pure Gold
Why not a billion? Why not a kajillion?
C’mon, Gonzo – you think we have some sort of magical Jew Star tree?
“Barack Obama 1, John McCain 0″
If the old man goes with MILFy MILF, Sarah Palin, as his running mate it is going to be beyond awesome. She is hot, and you know she is hardcore with all those kids.
C’mon clown,a kajillion? Stop spewing nonsense. This is serious work here.
