Ice Machine - Shiver Stutter

June 20th, 2008 by Tuffy Posted in ice machine, question of the day |

Here’s a clear shot from the daily Ice Machine, with crystal blue linkage of stories that will refresh you during your lunch break (ch-ch-ch-ch-ch-changes):

  • Best Buy will provide instant replay for the American Association All-Star Game.  (It’s an indie league dominated by the St. Paul Saints of “hey, you used to be famous; put on this tutu and get out to first base” fame).  We love that it’s basically a Slingbox (not likely to be a TiVo, as the article says) hooked up to a cell phone in the umpire’s pocket.  Yes, that should clear it all up.  Why didn’t Stern think of giving one of these to Bavetta in 2002 to let him know when to call a charge?
  • “Kobe Bryant says he won’t play GM this summer” - ahahahahahahahahahahahah.
  • Thank goodness: kung pao chicken finally arrives in China!  This decision by the Beijing authorities couldn’t say “ugly Americans with weak dollars” more clearly.
  • We’re workin’ the Brooksin’ on Sunday.  We have a rather explosive notion in mind for one of our pieces.  Drop by.
  • And now settle in for a long lunch with this classic:

Our Question of the Day (blasphemy edition): Is it permissible for us to not care too much about the White Sox/Cubs OMGOMGOMGSHOWDOWN4EVA!!?!?!  We just… y’know, it’s not even a National League game, so it couldn’t have less to do with the Cubs’ ability to make the playoffs.  And who will punch A.J. now that Carlos is hurt and Barrett’s… well, who cares where Barrett is?

    A reporter asked Aramis this morning if he would rather sweep the White Sox or the Cards. After a moment of silence, he said, “You know the Cardinals are in our division, right?”

    I’m not going to lie though, I enjoyed today’s bitch slapping of the Sox. Anything to quiet their fans down is much appreciated.

    That is seventeen types of awesome. Good for Aramis. Oh, and those home runs yesterday were rather keen as well.

    I was at Edmonds first games as a Cub and I didn’t know what to do, some people booed, some applauded, I abstained out of utter confusion. He’s a hard guy not to like. The fourth inning was a lot of fun. I am worried about Marmol right now though.
