Over on herblog, our good buddy Ro was doing her damnedest a few days back to sell me MLB Gameday Audio. Well, between her, the Blind Tech list’s huge thread about it, Jerry Howarth and the Shoe thief, I had no choice but to cave and fork over my $20. You really can’t go wrong …

Quiet Down, We’re Trying To Win Over Here!
Jesus doesthisever make us look amazingly pathetic as a country. The game is on and we’re all trying to watch it, so here’s the short version: Canada isn’t leading the medal standings and won’t be owning the podium because of all the fans and their damn cheering distracting the athletes.
