]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on The Lions Continue To Be A Feel-Good Story In Detroit]]> He has to watch the Lions. How much worse could his seats get?

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Papelbon's Control Goes On The Lam]]> @Brazil Thrill's Shot Was Blocked By KG: I would actually contest Gomez Adams being the best of all.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Media Approval Ratings: Tony Reali]]> Oh wait... +1 for not being Max Kellerman. So I guess that's an approve.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Media Approval Ratings: Tony Reali]]> +1 for trading in NYC for DC, minus one for yelling at the camera constantly.

Push.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on BWI Isn't Just a Crappy Airport In Maryland]]> BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport at Friendship Field is a damn fine airport. It has good bars, too. Except for the Pier-D express gates (US Airways to Philly and NYC). That's like "Langoliers" scary down there.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Media Approval Ratings: Michael Wilbon]]> Approve. Gotta give love to the local newspaper guy, and someone who seems to enjoy his job.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Teddy Wins His First Presidents Race!]]> @Chief Wahoo: My sister has the same reaction when I refer to my 2nd grade trip to West Germany.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Teddy Wins His First Presidents Race!]]> @the-Bored: You'd think they could keep the good ticket prices a little cheaper since, you know, the team didn't actually pay for the stadium. Thank God my cheap seats stayed the same price!

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Media Approval Ratings: Mel Kiper]]> Disapprove. Please make coverage of the NFL stop. ESPN knows there are real sports going on right now, right?

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Media Approval Ratings: Bob Ley]]> Approve 200%. He is the only shred of dignity left at that place. And I'm sure everyone hates him there. He's awesome. More of him. Makes Sunday AM Sportscenter watchable.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Take A Peek At Baseball's Next Big Thing]]> I don't understand why they're playing the rest of the season. Just have the Royals and Nationals duke it out for the World title, and be done with it. Then we can pay more attention to World Team Tennis.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Japan Games End, But Opening Day Is Just Beginning]]> PS - Only four days until Opening Day Night in our Nation's Capital. Eventually, there will be a baseball game in a real state.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Japan Games End, But Opening Day Is Just Beginning]]> Opening Day in Japan? As a drunk Red Sox bleacher chick once yelled at Ichiro: "Hey, didn't we WIN that war?"

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Red Sox, A's Look Like They'd Rather Not Be In Japan]]> metroville: Couldn't they just fly back home the opposite way they came, negating the effects of the flight there?

You give me their normal paychecks PLUS the $40K bonus, and I'll gladly take an 18-hour flight. On a charter jet. With Hello Kitty hookers.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on The Red Sox Might Not Make It To Japan After All]]> @TheMayorOfSabanation: There are never enough Manny Ramirez references

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on The Red Sox Might Not Make It To Japan After All]]> Here's a killer idea: why don't the players pony up some of their own money for the coaches? I mean, I know Red Sox players barely make minimum wage, but Manny Ramirez has to have some uncashed paychecks, right?

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Baseball Season Preview: Florida Marlins]]> @crazyjoedavola: No, the Washington Nationals knocked the Mets out last year. Two killer series, and then the Nats bent over and took it from the Phillies. It was a happy time in our nation's capital.

Actually, the Mets are the ones who really knocked out the Mets last year.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Baseball Season Preview: Florida Marlins]]> The Marlins: a team only a Nationals fan could love.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Media Approval Ratings: Linda Cohn]]> Linda Cohn is the perfect mix all female sports journalists should aspire to: both feminine yet knows her stuff. Oh, and she doesn't let her accent get in the way. I'm looking at you Rachel Nicohls.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on The Rays Want You To Walk The Plank]]> They tried a retractable roof with fabric and cables in Montréal at Stade Olympique. See how well that worked out. The Expos moved to Washington. You think we want the NotDevil Rays here now too? Funk that! We can only resurrect one crappy franchise per century.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Which City Has The Ugliest People?]]> Dc's ugliness factor isn't helped by all our tourists. I work at a big tourist spot, and damn, you other cities nationwide send over some ugly people. And I mean every part of the country. However, we do little to help ourselves. There's a reason why DC is known as "Hollywood For Ugly People."

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Rockies Fans Have Earned It, History Or Not]]> @ArkansasFred: At least their not like Red Sox fans, who constantly have to remind you of their suffering, as though they were the only fans ever in the history of sportitude to suffer.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Your National League Champion Colorado Rockies]]> @Token_Tennis_Fan: As a more or less lifelong Expos/Nationals fan (don't ask - my family has some screwed up Quebecer/Washingtonian lineage), it's nice to know that at least the Senators/Rangers have waited longer than the ExpoNats to see the World Series. 46 years and counting.

@BedBathandJihad: Please note I was not calling anyone racist or trying to be some bleeding heart liberal about the Rockies and their religious affiliations. However, I stand by that old adage that losing athletes never BLAME Jesus for their failures.

That would be awesome if the DBacks did that now. And they should.

And oh yeah - how does this affect the Yankees?

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Your National League Champion Colorado Rockies]]> The owner praised God and the people who are in His stadium.

Isn't the stadium named for a beer? I mean, it's not Satan Field at Blasphemy Park, but it's not far from it.

By the way, (seriously) nice job by TBS just letting the crowd cheer after the win instead of talking over it like Fox. I'll miss you, Tony Gwynn.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Those Seven Run 11th Innings Will Kill You]]> @notthequarterback: I-N-I!!!

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Curse Of The Trotino?]]> Did you get the feeling that when Franconia put in Gagné, he really just wanted the game to end so he could get home? And that Gagné pretty much knew that as well?

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on ALCS Pants Party: Red Sox Vs. Indians]]> I think I just watched an hour of the WWL and not one mention of the Yankees. Is it Bizarro day?

Indians in 6. Tears in The Hub.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on About The Only Chance You Have At Fenway ALCS Tickets]]> Is this...um... legal?

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on ALDS Game 4 Blogdome: Hello Indians, Goodbye Yankees]]> @smitty: Grady Sizemore is too pretty to be playing baseball. And I'm okay with that.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on ALDS Game 4 Blogdome: Hello Indians, Goodbye Yankees]]> @Afino: Rumor has it Chip Caray is coming to DC next season to broadcast the Nationals with Don Sutton. I mean, we already had to live through the Ron Darling era in the nation's capital. Must we suffer more?

Although, Caray/Gwynn/Brenley was a lot better than Jack Buck's Son/McCarver's Dementia and Fox in general.

As a semi-Red Sox fans with plenty of friends who are diehard Sox fans who thought the President of Red Sox Nation mattered, I am praying for Tribe in 6.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on LeBron James Has Cursed the Yankees]]> You know there's a marketing genius out there this morning making "Cleveland Midges" paraphanalia. And if there's not, well, I hope the patent office is open today.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on D-Backs Keep Doing The Bartman]]> @Windier E. Megatons: This is only the second best slam the D'Backs have done. Remember in Game 6 of the 2001 World Series, when they beat the Yankees like 512-3, and they blared "New York New York" after the win? That was awesome. It still makes Yankees fans mad. Truly awesome.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on NL Central, What Would We Do Without You, You Crazy Nut?]]> Why can't the Nats be in the NL Central? We'd be printing playoff tickets by now, instead of partying because we're two up on the Marlins for 4th place in the NL East.

Is it still possible for the Pirates to win it all?

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Know What They Call A Quarter Pounder With Cheese In Moose Jaw?]]> TSN is like ESPN... except it covers sports and never has Who's Now. So, actually, it's nothing like ESPN. Except for the corporate-fascist graphics package.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Now That, Friends, Is A Nice Night]]> Why does Michael Kay call the opposing team's home runs as though they were the Yankees? That has to piss off Yankees fans, not that that is a hard thing to do.

And there will be rioting and looting on the streets of our nation's capital tonight -- the Nationals are out of the cellar and thrust into 4th place. Go Nats!

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on ESPN Brings Who's Now In For A Tuneup]]> Who's now is STILL better than those Make a Wish segments. Although it might rival Ali Rap for overall crapiness. Why won't Comcast just give us TSN?

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on They Were The Games That Never End, Yes They Went On And On My Friend]]> Watched the Nats beat the Brewers last night at RFK. The best part was during the President's Race when our four greatest Presidents jumped a hot dog.

]]> <![CDATA[DGonSouthCap commented on Sixty Hot Dogs In 10 Minutes Will Do Wonders On Your Jaw]]> I eat half as many hot dogs, yet my abs don't look like that. What gives?
