    Michael Jackson’s dead, Geovany Soto tested positive for weed at the WBC, and wallabies hopped up on poppies are trampling people in Australia… what the eff is happening with the world?

    I would say I’d look to baseball for normalcy here, but I have to leave to get MRI’d at 7:30…

    @Liza: I heard about Michael Jackson while on the way home. just wow.

    Epic day today. Meetings with idiot project managers drive me to the absolute edge of my patience.

    But, HAPPY SMOLTZ DAY!!!!!!!

    @Liza: In the midst of all the terrible news, the wallabies on drugs story amuses me. Maybe a little too much. :X

    Happy Smoltz Day everyone! I am so excited….for our Red Sox Nation holiday.

    For reals, Iran, my governor is an unfaithful, yet still boring dolt, Shaq and LeBron together, Smoltz is no longer a Brave..

  26. 2009 June 25 at 7:26 pm

    @Liza: GOOD LUCK.

  30. 2009 June 25 at 7:31 pm

    @Liza: Good luck…sending healthy thoughts your way.

  31. 2009 June 25 at 7:33 pm

    Hooray – we’ll take a broken bat single.

  32. 2009 June 25 at 7:34 pm

    Make that two broken bat singles.

  33. 2009 June 25 at 7:34 pm

    @Texy: Hey, all.

    Um, yeah, so I guess that was an ugly first inning for Smoltz.

  36. 2009 June 25 at 7:38 pm

    He’s gotta quit throwing BP.

  37. 2009 June 25 at 7:38 pm

    OK, Smoltzie, show us sumpin’.

  38. 2009 June 25 at 7:38 pm

    Thank you, Soon-To-Be-American.

    @fc: ONE OF US. ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

  40. 2009 June 25 at 7:41 pm

    1-2-3. Much better.

  41. 2009 June 25 at 7:41 pm

    1-2-3. As it should be.

  42. 2009 June 25 at 7:42 pm

    Nice 1-2-3 Smoltzie…hopefully nerves out of the way and on to the game of baseball.

    @Texy: If every Red Sox fan sent the team a check for $5, we could probably pay for Bay’s next contract. . . .

  44. 2009 June 25 at 7:44 pm

    Smoltz helmet looks too small for his head.

  45. 2009 June 25 at 7:47 pm

    Have you all seen the new BK ad? It’s umm…suggestive to say the least.

    NINE pitches to strike out Smoltz?

  47. 2009 June 25 at 7:48 pm

    Cue-ball Pedey.

    @lone1c: Old guy’s got some gas left in the tank.

    @shelley1005: Burger King: when they say “have it your way,” it now has a completely different meaning.

    JD runs out a grounder—nice. (Twenty-four pitches and counting this inning.)
