It’s the happiest day of the year. I LOVE Halloween. It’s an excuse to dress ridiculously and get absolutely hammered. I’m going to the happiest place on earth tonight, UMass Amherst, so without further ado:
A horse is a horse, of course, of course, and no one can talk to a horse of course. That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mr. Ed -Mr. Ed
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Oh, if I only knew how to photoshop. According to the coast to coasta New York Posta, Alex Rodriguez “is reportedly such an egomaniac that he placed paintings of himself depicted as a centaur — a mythical creature who is half-man, half-horse — over his bed, an ex-girlfriend said.” So many jokes. So little time. The girlfriend goes on to say, “He had not one but two painted portraits of himself as a centaur.” And you thought Oscar De La Hoya in fishnets was wierd. I guess this would be a good time to throw out all those Hydra paintings I have of myself.

Its been a long time since I rock and rolled. Its been a long time since I did the stroll. Ooh, let me get it back, let me get it back. Let me get it back, baby, where I come from. -Led Zeppelin
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Look who it is. Look who it is again. Last night, Mariano Rivera got the save in another World Series game. Ho hum. Yes sports fans, Mariano Rivera saved a World Series game for the tenth time in his career. For those of you keeping score at home, that save came more than 11 years after notching his first Series save in the 1998 opener against the Padres. For those of you keeping score at home, that is the longest span of its kind. Yowza! The only other pitcher to save a World Series game more than six years after doing it for the first time was Tug McGraw. Pretty cool, huh? So is this: A.J. Burnett was the ninth different pitcher to have a World Series victory saved by Rivera. And while we’re at it, there have been 23 postseason saves of at least two innings since 1996, and Rivera has 14 of them, including his last three in the World Series. Sweet sassy molassy! Yes fans, last night Mariano did what Mariano does best. Hooray Mariano! But can he do the El Duque dance?

Wanna get dirty ? It’s about time that I came to start the party. Sweat dripping over my body. Dancing getting just a little naughty. Wanna get dirty? It’s about time for my arrival. -Christina Aguilera
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! If you’ve been watching this year’s rendition of the MLB post season, you already know. You already know Cliff Lee is nasty. You already know Cliff Lee is filthy. You already know he is obscene, vile, repugnant, repulsive and revolting. Obviously nobody can beat Don Larsen’s World Series perfect game, but Cliff Lee is in the discussion for the second-best pitched game in the World Series. And that’s something. Ain’t it? Sure it is.

Pegate para aca y siente el impacto. Pegate para aca y siente el impacto. Pegate para aca. Pegate para aca. Pegate para aca y siente el impacto. -Daddy Yankee
Public Service Announcement: OK, here we go! Pedro Martinez. Vote Pedro! Tonight, making his first World Series appearance in five years, Pedro Martinez will try to help the Philadelphia Phillies take a 2-0 lead back home when they face A.J. Burnett and the New York Yankees in Game 2. Hooray Pedro! Everybody’s yammering about Cliff Lee. Everybody’s jammering about CC Sabathia. Yammering and jammering. What about Pedro? Read More »

Vict’ry’s in sight for old Syr-a-cuse. Each loyal son knows she ne’er more will lose. For we’ll fight, yes, we’ll fight, and with all our might , for the glory of old Syracuse. -Syracuse Fight Song
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! If you read this space with any regularity, you know I love me some Jonny Flynn. You know I thought he was one of the most explosive point guards in his draft. This kid gets to the rim. Makes you want sing a hymn. Step into a Slim Jim! Got to the rim last night. Got to the rim for eighteen big ones last night. Big deal you say? Who cares you say? I say, that’s the most points by any player who came to the NBA from Syracuse in his NBA debut. Yowza! More than Dave Bing. More than Derrick Coleman. Woopty damn do! More than Sherman Douglas. More than Louis Orr, Billy Owens, Rony Seikaly, Etan Thomas and Hakim Warrick. More than the previous record holder, Carmelo Anthony, who had 12 points back in 2003. More than all of them. What’s he gonna do for an encore?

Rooting is following, and I don’t do that, but I’d like to see the Phillies win because I love Philadelphia. -Steve Carlton
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! That’s right, call me Jimmy Rollins. Call me Ishamel. You can call me anything you like, but ya doesn’t have to call me Johnson. Heck, you can call me that too, see if I care. All I know is, I’m with J-Roll on this one. Rollins said the Phillies will win the World Series in five games. While I’m not so sure about the five games bit, I’m pretty sure about the rest. Read More »

Wreckin’ the town with the power of a bull, ain’t no monster clown who is as lovable as ever-lovin’ Hulk! Hulk!! Hulk!! -The Incredible Hulk
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go. In Wrestlemania III, Hulk Hogan told Andre Giant, “To beat me, man, you’ve got to beat every little Hulkamaniac, every little Hulkster in the world.” Where are you now little Hulkamaniacs? Where are you now little Hulksters? Old and grey? Well folks, it’s time to come back. Come back and rally behind the man you once woirshipped. Time to once again perform your three demandments: Training, saying your prayers and eating your vitamins. That’s right. Hulk Hogan is back. The 56-year-old grappler who last appeared in the WWE in 2006, announceed he has joined TNA. That’s great news. News that marks a dramatic turnaround for the Hulkster, who last week admitted his marriage breakdown and various other issues saw him contemplate suicide earlier this year. So TNA, what you gonna do? What are you gonna do when the real truth, the 24 inch pythons and Hulkamania runs wild on you? Hooray Hulk Hogan!
