hi ! i totally forgot that he was in two guyz tv show thanx more pics for me to gawk at hez such a hottie.

thatz my next in line if DMC getz overboard with this Trish Stratusfying crap


come to think of it i think i need to read thru all of the ladies thread to see what exactly he has been posting in here

'getz overboard ...' I take it you have not seen his posts with his Odes and Poems to her than ...

:p

only one or two but the word "goddess" does stick out if memory serves me right

You might be a bit confused - The ones with 'goddess' was the ones he wrote for Geoff ...

SB, I'm sorry.

You know, I really wanted your boys to move on, because I hated to see good fans and people such as you and Geoff be disappointed, but they had a great season. They made quite a comeback, just like my Astros, so I definitely admire that. I'm sure they'll be back and ready next year.

By the way, I've already started a countdown to Opening Day...

To DM: Whoa, too many girly pictures! It's called the ladies' thread because it's for ladies, not of ladies. :p I thought you were just joining in for the chick chat.

There were 21 pages before I got here, I had to make up for it

I can't help it if I find so many fabolous pictures of Trish

Scouts Honor, I will only post new pics of Trish every Monday/Tuesday

dmc can spend his time chasing his elusive goddess i meanwhile will stick with my scruffy down to earth hottie a more attainable goal for my "immoral premaritals" as plaw would say

Damn, I thought that might be me 'til you posted that pic of what's-his-name.

Dude, I SO thought it was going to be you in your Halloween costume!!

Oh yeah, that was classic... especially the nail polish.

That was a Halloween costume?? JG told me it was casual Friday! :p

What a tough loss. Poor Andy just couldn't hold off those Cardinal bats. We actually had the offense going the whole game, but we couldn't get on the board until the seventh (another homer by Burke!). I know that we could've won the games ourselves, and I hate to try to shift the blame, but the home plate umpire was terrible. I'd noticed him making some bad calls all throughout, giving Carpenter some calls that Andy definitely did not get - but, in the ninth, it was just disgusting. We actually got a rally going, on some hits and an error, scored another run, but both Jason Lane and Brad Ausmus were given at least two strike calls on obvious balls. There were several pitches that were low and outside/inside, just way outside the zone, and he called them strikes. As I said, we could've done something sooner, and it sounds dumb to try to blame it on a ump, but it's so frustrating to have a rally and possible comeback completely killed with such obvious bad calls by what should be a neutral person.

Well, we'll come back fighting in Game 2, and I'll keep praying.

Gina, I see that the score is 0-0 in the 2nd inning. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and your boys!!!

Thanks, SB!

We got the win! Oswalt pitched just great, and we finally got some runs on actual hits (the announcers kept bringing up how we'd been 0 for something in RBI situations) - our first run was on a wild pitch, and our second one was scored just on a groundout, I think, but we got some good hits off of Tavarez, the guy who went ballistic on us last year and ended up injuring himself when he hit his hand on the bullpen phone.

Awww...and as I was typing this, the reporter on the postgame show had an interview with Willy! Even cuter close up!!!

[Insert Willy joke here] :p

Gina - you doing anything strange to keep up the Lastros good luck through the playoffs? Wearing the same clothes? Not showering? Eating the same meals on game day? Anything?

Not that I would do any of those!

*thinks to self* at least now I have an excuse....

Well, Gina, even if my boys are out of it, I'm glad that yours are hanging in there. And if I had a choice between the Angels and the White Sox, I hope Chicago wins. Their drought is even longer than Boston's was!!

Edited to Add: Having these boys around is not as yukky as I thought it would be.

By the way, I found this picture of Jeter. How hot is he??

Hmmmm... I guess I should keep my comment that Jeter, in that picture, looks like the lost lead singer of Menudo to myself, huh. :p

Just funnin' with ya, SB!

Hey, hey!! In the words of the great Vinnie Barbarino, "Don't mess with my Jeter!! He's a saint!" (oops, did I just age myself there?).

Of course, I can't look at that picture quite the same way now!!

OK - no more jokes about Derek Jeter. Ladies' thread, ladies' rules... So before I get electroshocked for rule infringements, it is my understanding that I must post a male pic. So here is SB's Derek in one of the funnier skits in recent Saturday Night Live history. Enjoy!



As described on CNNSI.com

Date: Dec. 1, 2001
Site: NBC Studios, New York

Setting: Saturday Night Live host

The Play: As a ballplayer, Jeter is used to being on live television. But that's just it -- as a ballplayer. Jeter had to delve deep into his powers of clutchness to pull off a spotless appearance as host of Saturday Night Live, replete with opening monologue. The highlight was the skit "Baseball Wives," in which David Cone and David Wells (who played a pair of groupies) joined Jeter (as Candy Soriano) in full drag. Here's the best part, with Jeter making the punchline look as easy as a 6-3 putout:

Candy Soriano: God, I know I shouldn't say this, but I think Tino Martinez is super-foxy, girl!
Patrice Williams: I don't know ... his wife tells me there's not much to work with.
Shanice Clemens: Y'all, Tino is teeny!
Candy Soriano: I don't believe that, 'cause I've studied that bulge!
Patrice Williams: You know, Jeter is the cute one, Jeter is where it's at!
[ they all agree, except for Candy ]
Candy Soriano: Mmm... no... Jeter does not do it for me. He looks like the Rock had sex with a muppet.

Man, can't even think up any Willy jokes, anymore? You must be out of practice! :p Or are you just sparing me?

Yes. Sad, but true. Well, I've showered regularly, and I wear different clothes, but almost half of my wardrobe consists of Astros shirts!

Okay, really, I've become very superstitious. I've come to realize that I laugh and joke about some of the stuff I "believe" in, but deep down, I really do let myself believe it works!

- Whenever I can, I watch the games in my room, alone, and I especially don't allow my brother to watch with me. I believe he's a jinx when we're together, so we discuss the game during commercials.

- I gave in to the Livestrong bracelet bandwagon, and I now have four Astros rubber bracelets. I loaned one to a friend for good luck, and I've worn the other three every playoff game day. One of them, I've worn since July 8th, and I've only taken it off for my Band performances because we're required to. (The Astros are 1-3, I think, on the days I've had to take it off - not a good sign!) My friend and I have decided that the Astros are more likely to win when she touches each bracelet that I have on, three times. And I have her do that...everyday.

- During the games, I just have nervous rituals that I perform, believing it'll help them. I was such a wreck during the 18-inning clincher! I had to sit in the same position everytime the game was on, and I had to regain composure during commercials. I even created a prayer for when we were pitching - every pitch, I'd recite, "Just don't let them score a run," and then I'd give the current pitcher some words of encouragement. Another thing I do, when we're batting, is I "tell" each batter that we're playing "hot potato" with the outs, and he can't be the one to make an out. I think it's a nice way of keeping them on the ball but maintaining the fun, optimism of it. Okay, basically, I guess I just talk to the TV. I help manage and cheer the team from my house.

What's killing me is that I'll miss tomorrow's game because we have a football game performance for Band. Luckily, there are plenty of Astros fans (and "fans") in the Band, including my director, so I'm sure I'll be getting score updates. I'll also have my radio with me, and I'm going to tape it in case I get to watch it later. Several times, I've taped a game and refused to find out the outcome until I could watch it, but I know someone will tell me ahead of time tomorrow, so I'm not going to try to avoid it. I'll just have to pray while I play (the clarinet).

Gina, Great stuff! It's worked for your boys, so keep it up!! And my brother is a METS fan , so I never, ever want to watch a game with him, although I have called him during several key games to gloat appropriately.

And you're right. Jeter even looks hot as a woman. Check out those arms!! (swoon)

Gigi, you're so cute!! But I'm totally for it; whatever works!


By the way, sorry guys, but DB was right on target with the "Menudo" comment on that on Jeter picture.

And then I've always thought he reminded me of something, and I could never really place it... the SNL quote cleared it up for me. He's the love child of a muppet and the Rock.

Now, which Muppet?? Kermit? Oscar the Grouch? Big Bird? Bert? Ernie? MISS PIGGY?????

SB, a Mets fan?! How do you manage?

And sorry, but I refuse to give in to the Muppets theory - the arms are definitely what's doing it for me. *sigh*

By the way, I posted this in the playoff thread, but I figured I'd show it here, too. I took a video of my dad impersonating Tony LaRussa after he got ejected from today's game for arguing the strike zone:

My dad as Tony LaRussa

Gina, Heard that your boys have Pettite starting the next game. Good luck!! I hope that your guys prevail, and I hope that Chicago beats the Angels. Btw, that video was very funny.

I echo SB's sentiments... Go Astros, and down with the Angels!! And great video, Gigi! I wish my dad cared about baseball.

Hmmm... Not Big Bird or Miss Piggy. Could be Bert or Ernie, or Oscar. Maybe the Count? I'm not sure, I'll have to think about it and get back to you on this one. SB, you ask the tough questions!
