Deadspin
Since this morning's revelation, Indians' pitcher Paul Byrd has defended his HGH purchases, asserting it was for a tumor on his pituitary gland. Oh sure, Byrdo, that's what all the veteran control pitchers say. Blame it on a tumor. Did Jon Lester blame it on a tumor? Hell no!
To make things more interesting, there's a very real chance Byrd will come out of the bullpen if Jake Westbrook, how shall we say, "Carmonalizes" in the first trimester. We may also have special appearances by Josh Beckett, Coco Crisp, Joe Borowski, Mo Vaughn, Eric Plunk, John Henry Williams, Roger Dorn, Dick Pole, Max Patkin, and Crispus Attucks. I doubt we'll see Dane Cook, though. He looks busy.
I think I can stay up to watch this entire game. No, honestly. After a full day of college football on Saturday, NFL this afternoon, and photoshopping a sock onto Jason Varitek's hand, there's no question I can ... muster ... the ... ... *collapse*

That sock puppet was photoshoped? What you kids and your vacuum tubes can't do these days.
nice work, weekend Daddy. See you in three weeks.
game 7 alcs... we're all staying up.
no partying though - we'll save that for the WS.
I once took a regiment of HGH to recover from a particularly vicious hangnail. This Paul Byrd fellow must be on the up and up.
I have my sock puppet with me at all times, you just never know.
The Indians are in for it tonight, KEVIN MILLAR, is throwing out the first pitch. Last night it was Bill Mueller who's next Johnny fucking Damon?
@Bill Belichicks Videographer: Doesn't Millar still play for somebody? Why the hell have another team's player throw out the first pitch? That is ###.
@Bill Belichicks Videographer: A truly bizarre choice
Yeah he is a BALTIMORE ORIOLE. he is doing it as a representative of the '04 championship team. They asked Pedro to do it but the Mets wouldnt give him permission.
Francona can only hope that Daisuke is not Daisucky tonight. Get it? I changed his name, so that the suke at the end is sucky!
...I'll show myself out.
mmmmmmmmmmmmm.....Carmonalizes.
re: Millar: Does this mean that he will also be available out of the bullpen for the Sox tonight?
I thought Byrdo was sick when the eggs he was spitting out his mouth just fell to the ground.
Even Mario was concerned.
I have always enjoyed Millar. When he played in the NL and would come to Wrigley he would take tons of shit from the bleacher fans for his mullet. He didn't take it personally, he taunted them right back. But this just seems odd.
Somebody just asked me how many Octobers are in a year, and I forgot where I left my calendar. Where is Dane Cook when you need him?
@Brazil Thrill: I think pi is the answer
@KigeRamseysLoveChild: 2.75 million dollars a year to help the Orioles win ballgames. Or whatever the hell it is they do up there all summer.
They asked Francona in the pregame presser wht kind of competitive advantage he had with Millar throwing out the first pitch.
Even Tito think's it's odd. But obviously not dr. Chuck.
@Bill Belichicks Videographer: Just as well. I doubt Pedro could reach the plate.
Did Eric Karros steal Butthead's hair?
Rockies worked out in snow today
They asked Malphabet to throw out the first pitch but when he got to the mound he wouldn't let go of the ball
@B: so how any first pitch honorees actually do?
I am watching this illegally on NESN on my com-pu-ter. It is amusing. Is Rick Sutcliffe always like this?
Was I the only one that noticed that Tim McCarver advocated taking Schilling out of the game during the third inning despite the fact he had allowed only one run just because another baserunner had gotten on? Or, more likely, were you all just trying to ignore him?
@contains_hot_liquid: If you mean drunk and slurring his words, yes.
Paul Byrd sounded very sincere and honest during his interview. Let's all give him the benefit of the doubt!
How much did Will Carroll pay Kevin Kennedy to say "gyro ball?"
@KigeRamseysLoveChild: No, he means furry and cuddly.
erm. Did I use my inside voice or my outside voice there? Move along.

it is hard to type with no spaces.
@Scout: Do we have to root for the Red Sox so God doesn't have to choose between His Rockies and Paul Byrd?
asserting it was for a tumor on his pituitary gland
"Don't bother, Paul, they won't buy it."

Nothing wrong with drunk and slurry. I listen to Chiefs Radio.
@StuScott Booyahs: I remember him mentioning that. I also remember him saying, on more than one occasion, that the Indians should bean Manny in the head.
@StuScott Booyahs: As anybody in their right mind would.
I can't find my Red Bull.
Looks like my vodka is straight tonight.
Go Sox!
@Kid Canada:
"Paul, keep it up -- no one's paying that much attention to me or Troy Glaus."

@Matt_T: and Jennie Zelasko stole Ginger Lynn's hair.
"Hey Stephen King in the house - no one has to tell him what it means to be in Red Socks Nation!" Last time they interviewed King on FOX was Game 4 of the 2004 ALCS, I think. They were losing that game at the time.
@StuScott Booyahs: You weren't the only one. Not only did McCarver advocate it, he asked Francona about it during the in game interview and Francona humored him like a senile uncle everyone avoids talking to at Thanksgiving.
@Scout: He doesn't seem like a bad guy, but in today's day and age, it's guilty until proven innocent.
This is the only slurry I know or care about.
Terry Francona talks like that guy Kevin from The Office in his press conferences.
Wait, I just enjoyed Fox's use of "Kodachrome" there going to commercial.
@notthequarterback: MMmmmmm slurry...
Big Papi's first name is David? Weird.
@notthequarterback: um, ew.
@notthequarterback: I prefer to think of the drinky slurry, than the McNugget slurry, thank you very much.
@Tuffy: No, God marks the liars with red hair. Oh,...
@KigeRamseysLoveChild: But think of the possibilities if you could combine the two.
Did McCarver just say these teams have played 243 games this season, or am I hearing things?
@notthequarterback: Next time I go to a fast-food joint, I'll order the 8-pack of McSlurries.
@Sh!tShow: chasing beam with sam!
GOOO SOX!
I just noticed for the first time that Buck & McCarver use coordinating shades of Just for Men hair dye... how cute.
