Rock You Like An Iracane

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @AugieOjedaFanClub: 1) The playoffs are luck, plain and simple.
2) The Diamondbacks outperformed their Pythagorean in a ridiculous way last year. I think even with the addition of Haren, their record will be worse than last year. Or, see Innings Eater's post. I really think the Cubs can stake a claim at being the best team in the NL if they stay healthy.

notthequarterback

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> The Diamondbacks better hit, because they're not going to get outscored by twenty runs and win the division again. I don't care how good their pitching is.

Innings Eater

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> I think they win the division, but they don't do much beyond that. The D-Backs went to the NLCS, then went and traded for Dan Haren. I think that has to make them the favorites in the NL at this point.

AugieOjedaFanClub

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @AugieOjedaFanClub: St. Louis still doesn't have any pitching...Milwaukee's offense is scary but the pitching still doesn't match up to the division, as you said..though the Crew's bullpen is still good and I like them getting Gagne.

but after that, you have the Astros. Tejada and Lidge? Seriously?

The Reds have a decent offense but the pitching is still thin and they added Dusty. Enough said.

And then there's the Pirates. Enough said. (Sorry, Yinzers.)

I like the Cubs' chances.

notthequarterback

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @notthequarterback: Nobody really addressed a need during the offseason. The Cardinals believed in addition by subtraction in getting rid of Rolen, the Brewers didn't bother getting another starter, and god help the bottom three in the division. At least the Cubs threw a little bit of money around.

@AugieOjedaFanClub: my jerseys are Wood and Sosa so I'm holding off on anything for the new player...but since I know I'll be somewhat close to Chicago, I will make sure to be online on that day as well. I really feel good about this year. The division blows and I think the Cubs are better than last year already. Baseball can't get here soon enough.

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Innings Eater: The only kind of dreams I ever remember is where Dream MCBias meets up with a girl who Real MCBias can't quite form a relationship with in real life. Dream MCBias gets an enthusiastic reaction from the girl and a warm hug that is almost to tangible to me as I sleep. And then I wake up. I've come to the conclusion that Dream MCBias is a player extraordinaire to make up for Real MCBias's lack of romantic game, ha.

Innings Eater

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Jehovahs Witness Protection Program: The worst part of it is, the loudest, most obnoxious people to call me out were Cardinals fans. They called for my head, and called me every name in the book, talking about how i'd be sorry for not picking them to win the division. Of course, the best part is, I fucking nailed the NL central. I got the complete end of season standings dead on, including putting the "unbeatable" Cardinals in third place. But, by the time I had the chance to rub it in the proper faces, it was too late.

Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: I have a nightmare where I've accidentally killed someone, and I spend my life hiding and running from the the authorities and the person's family. Trust me, man. It's horrible on many, many levels. And I have it over and over.

And then there's the obligatory "being hunted by a crazy mutherfucker" for what seems like days.

Those are in the regular rotation. Never remember a single good dream. Ever.

Innings Eater

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @AugieOjedaFanClub: So Deadspin got you fired? That is some poetic justice.

@Innings Eater: You can fucking have this one, bro.

Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Jehovahs Witness Protection Program: Ha, the people I used to write for didn't think so. I was actually put on probation by them last year because I did an MLB season preview with predictions that they thought highly enough of to submit to, and get into the blogdome on this site. Someone on this site *cough cough Will cough* linked it as "an incredibly biased Cubs fan's MLB predictions."
Needless to say, the floodgates opened, I was harrassed, admitted I was drunk when I came up with the completely abritrary system for ranking the teams, and the same people who were telling me after I wrote it that I was the main reason people were going to their site, put me on probation and quit pushing my work.

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: That sounds like a nice ghost story for the campfire. (trying to make it less scary for you)

Jehovahs Witness Protection Program

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Rock You Like An Iracane: I think there are a lot of talented 24+ somethings out there working, yet bored because they can't get involved in as many extra-curriculars as they used to in college and high school. They're still on their first or second job, maybe just got their own office, but don't have kids or a serious girlfriend to tie them down. So they get involved in Deadspin as a hobby. My suspicions are that Deadspin is filled with late-blooming nerds and geeks, but I've always tried not to say that very loudly.

MidwestCoastBias

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @midwestcoastbias: I walked into my house, and something pushed on my chest until I backed out the door. The place filled with fog and a weird blue light. As the light dimmed and the fog lessened, some weird figure opened the door while I was standing in the yard. There were other figures in the windows. I yelled out, "Now I've gotta live with ghosts in my house?" and one answered back, "Come on in and find out....we know you, [insert real name here]."

That's when I shot up out of bed.

Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: I have the same four or five nightmares over and over.

I'd give my left nut for a new nightmare. Even if it's scarier than shit.

Innings Eater

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @AugieOjedaFanClub: I find Sportswriting and Alcohol go hand in hand. (Still drunk! Yahooooooo!)

Jehovahs Witness Protection Program

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Reasonable Doubt for a Reasonable Price: Do you (or anyone else, I guess) do the thing where you have a lucid enough dream that your body does whatever your dream self is doing?

I do that with taking steps every once in a while. That's benign.

I figure, screw it, the bastards aren't gonna listen anyway. I might as well take summers off in the process.

I did some sports writing, but my sports writing problem tended to get in the way with my alcohol duties.

My theory is that the literati of the world gravitate towards sport, and know how to work the Internet. I don't know exactly why, but that's been true more often than not, separately, and I think DSPN's the overlap of that there Venn diagram.

I didn't even make the field of 64, and I'm STILL excited as can be about it; Deadspin commenters are awesome, and they deserve a lot of credit for making this site interesting.

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Innings Eater: They're still trying to buy it. I'm meeting with a lawyer tomorrow to see what kind of deal I can make with them. They're not going away, unfortunately. But if I can stay here for most of the year and get some money from them, then it's not so bad.

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @She Blinded Me With Violence: The NHL is doing everything necessary to expand its fan base (except join a REAL network). See: the Jonas Brothers, Neyo, and Strokes. Draws in the tween girls, gangsta rap folk, and hipster yuppies.

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @She Blinded Me With Violence: I saw Lupe Fiasco play at half time of the MLS all star game a couple years ago. The people running half time shows are convinced they can look in tune with black culture...normally by using the whitest mediums possible.

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @lizabelle: As the first person invited on to your island, I recommend Catalina. There are like twelve people that take up permanent residence, and I'm pretty sure a small expeditionary force could take the island in a matter of hours.

Plus, it's really purty. And there might be pirate gold hidden there. The treasure hunt alone would make it a hoot.

Innings Eater

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @She Blinded Me With Violence: I was under the impression if we had our own desert island we could go kill who we wanted? Is that not how society works? Someone should tell our President (man, I feel like Murphy Brown with the topical humor!)
@lizabelle: And it's probably cheaper than dinner and a movie, and besides, you would be an initimidating force on the battlefield agaisnt the monkey generals with your visible afro. It would strike fear in the hearts of the homo inferiors.

Alrite DUAN, I'm gonna try and get a little sleep. Job interview with a heartless pharmaceutical company in the morning, think good thoughts for me..or bad thoughts if your karma sucks.

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Chloroform Monster: Ok, if it rains a lot I'm going to have to shave my head, because it gets crazy frizzy in the humid.

But I like turtles. And fucking up monkeys sounds good too.

Lizabelle

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Chloroform Monster: I believe killing those turtles is frowned upon. Then again, hardly anyone else is there to frown upon you, so knock yourself out.

She Blinded Me With Violence

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> Not sure if anyone is watching the delayed all star game broadcast, but my brain is about to explode from the between period entertainment.

AndyReidsOtherSon

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @lizabelle: @kataroo_kangaroo: Have y'all ever seen the episode of CSI where Krasinski plays a stoner? He's hilarious.

Dr. Michael Mancini

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Chloroform Monster: It's been far too long since I've seen it...ok, that's after Melrose Place on my list. Or maybe before.

Lizabelle

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> So apparently it's National Lego Day or something. Go look at the Google homepage.

She Blinded Me With Violence

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @lizabelle: At least I can join the super adventure club.

We should take the Galapagos islands. It's near the equator, a bit rainy, where the father of modern evolutionary science made his great discovery, and has thousands of turtles migrate there every year, thus ensuring we would have Turtle Shell Armor for the ensuing war with the monkey demons on the island. Foolproof.

Lizabelle

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @PQ Crash: I honest to God believe it was on "Santa Claus conquers the Martians". If i'm not mistaken, they do a bit about having a Patrick Swayze Christmas, which devolves in the next bit into roadhouse skits.
@lizabelle: The Manos drinking game is amazing. Drink everytime you see more than 20 seconds of rural Texas with no dialogue. And I think we can all agree that Torgo was one of the best characters ever, not that I was once in a band called "Torgo, Wind, and Fire"

Chloroform Monster

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @notthequarterback: except i upload my pictures sober. i only started drinking an hour or 2 ago

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @lizabelle: I think he's super hot. But in an every guy type of way. Like he seems like he could be the cute guy that lives down the hall from you in your apartment building that you always want to talk to but takes a while to finally do so, and when you do you're glad you did.

Le Kangourou de Kataroo

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @AndyReidsOtherSon: SHHHH i haven't gotten that far in the show yet. I'm on the fourth episode of Season 3.

Lizabelle

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> 1300 comments? Sweet Jesus.

BTW, I need a fucking rally.

If you vote me, I promise to get Kataroo drunk and have her upload naughty pics of herself and then post said pictures here.

Wait, she did what??

She Blinded Me With Violence

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @White Speed Receiver: I need warm. So as long as its warm, and only a little rainy, I'm cool.

Lizabelle

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @lizabelle: I couldn't agree with you more. That's why I turn to the Church of Scientology when my Thetin levels are in flux and I need the type of answers an OT of my rank and stature is entitle to.

Chloroform Monster

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Chloroform Monster: The MST3K movie was the best two hours of my life. I can't find it on DVD anywhere.

Lizabelle

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Dr. Michael Mancini: "I was at the movies." My family taped it the first chance we got, but wore the video tape out watching it so much.

Hank Scorpio-Steinbrenner

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Chloroform Monster: I'm still trying to find the MST3K episode where Servo and Crow reenacted their favorite scenes from Road House.

PQ Crash

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @kataroo_kangaroo: It helps that I saw it a couple weeks ago. Pepo the Dwarf haunts me.

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @Hank Scorpio: You have actually closed the gap since earlier today.

She Blinded Me With Violence

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @PQ Crash: I will never forget the first time I tried to watch "Manos, the Hands of Fate" after seeing it on MST3k. One bottle of jack daniels wasn't enough to get through it. Someday I'll try again...someday.

Chloroform Monster

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @lizabelle: Yes, she is awesome. This movie would suck a lot less if it was just her, Jason Bateman, and Common.

Hank Scorpio-Steinbrenner

]]> <![CDATA[Ahhhh! Nightmare Ant Has Spawned!]]> @lizabelle: I would set John Krazinski's loins on fire in the sense that he'd want to jump me and do naughty things to me.
