Roundup: Germans Sick of Bailing Out Europe, Texas Frat Suspended For Sex Shows, Nancy Grace…Shudder
Alison Brie because she’s cute, funny and searching for just the right photo takes forever. The Germans are getting sick of bailing Europe out. But don’t expect the EU to implode. Texas suspends a fraternity for live sex shows. Lost writer admits they made it up as they went. Worst wardrobe malfunction conceivable. You can sleep in a mine shaft in Sweden for just $600 a night.

speaking of giving up on a show, I watched the newest office last night and I am pretty sure I am going to have to give it up. I’ve been holding on to threads for the last couple years, but that one was pretty awful. they take the whole pam/jim/kid thing way to far and it brings no value to the show at all.

because it takes extremely talented people in order to improvise and it be listenable/watchable. it’s a slap in the face to the viewer dude…”we could try, but you morons will watch anyways so we’ll just half-ass it.”
September 28th, 2011 at 8:46 AM
I think it’s pretty typical, whether you’re talking about a long running TV show or book series or whatever.
But I do think the best ones always know where they are heading, like what the end goal is. You can figure out the journey but I think the best endings are more likely to happen if you knew all along what it was.

Interesting… I gave up on the Office 2 seasons ago (maybe 3? It was the season when Pam and Jim got married) and decided to watch the newest episode to see what they were going to do with James Spader. I laughed enough that I’m going to start watching it again. Maybe the hiatus allowed me to find things funny instead of annoying.
September 28th, 2011 at 8:51 AM
what’s wrong with making up LOST as you go along?
The only serious problem I had with Lost is that it was basically purgatory after all, well, at least half of every episode the last season. Was annoying how they disregarded Faraday’s speech to Desmond in the alt-world. Bastards!
September 28th, 2011 at 8:54 AM
I think that is my problem with it now. pam and jim are completely annoying, and now that angela is also pregnant I can see that becoming obnoxious as well. I guess I don’t really know enough about James Spader to have an opinion, I don’t really recognize him from anything I have watched.

Never a fan of the show, but if you think about it, how many story lines could you possibly have about a plane crash without pulling shit out of your ass? The show’s premise seems limiting on the surface. That the writers made anything out of it shows how talented they are.

I only saw the 8th and 9th innings from Camden last night. Was Wally Bell’s strikezone the size of a bathtub all night? That pitch that Papelbon threw to Markakis was like a foot outside. He went right back there a couple pitches later and Bell called it a ball.
September 28th, 2011 at 9:06 AM
BB = Bold and the Beautiful?
September 28th, 2011 at 9:07 AM

September 28th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
Yes, but mostly anything to left handed batters. Wally Bell was actually trending on twitter at one point. He really tried to inject himself into the wildcard race, but failed.
Go O’s!
September 28th, 2011 at 9:07 AM
what? you don’t wanna hear the song?
September 28th, 2011 at 9:08 AM
Yup, it was shifted 1 foot to the left. Everything outside to a left hander was a strike, everything that was seemingly on the left edge of the plate for a right hander was called a ball. At least he was consistent.
September 28th, 2011 at 9:11 AM
Lost writer admits they made it up as they went.
Isn’t that how tv shows are written? You mean to tell me it wasn’t an accurate account of historical events?
September 28th, 2011 at 9:14 AM
Oh damn. I didn’t even see that the Cardinals came back and beat Houston. So we’ve got TWO wildcard races tied on the last day? HOT DAMN! I’m going to the Hawks game tonight but hopefully when I get home the Boston game is still on. Houston-StL definitely should be.
And 3 weeks ago everyone was all “baseball is teh boring dis yer.” Now it’s the best set of game 162s I can remember in a while. ¡YAY BEISBOL!
September 28th, 2011 at 9:15 AM
yeah, and some of the worst shows or book series are when the writers know exactly what will happen and shoehorn events and characters into doing things that aren’t organic to the storyline.
September 28th, 2011 at 9:17 AM

And yet they were still able to create more tension and drama than any show I’ve ever cared to watch.
It is incredibly hard to create a show where a)the storyline makes sense and b)viewers don’t know what’s going to happen next. Lost was able to execute both for five seasons before going completely off the rails in the 6th, imo.
September 28th, 2011 at 9:20 AM

The Monday Night Football slate has trending down for a few years it seems. Can’t fault them for that Colts/Bucs matchup though. When they selected their games, Manning was thought to be ready for Week 1.
But St. Louis-Seattle? No chance that was going to be something that deserved a primetime slot.
September 28th, 2011 at 9:33 AM

In the middle of season three, they were spinning their tires as writers because ABC wouldn’t negotiate an end date. Finally, it happened, and that allowed them some clarity to wrap the story, hence the “Through the Looking Glass” twist. Then the writers strike hit and shortened season four in half. And don’t forget about Malcom David Kelly growing too big to remain in his role, Mr. Eko’s character leaving the show because of his parents’ death, Michelle Rodriguez’s and Cynthia Watros’s alcohol problems interfering with work, the fan backlash against the Nikki and Paulo characters, and Michael Emerson turning a three-episode cameo into pure gold and getting a huge supporting series role. No show is planned from beginning to end. It’s ignorant to think otherwise.

That he was reaching for the ball “until he saw the glove, then I was like, that’s Alou’s ball” He also had saved a voice mail from 8 YEARS ago.

I honestly felt absolutely terrible for the poor little guy. How has he not ended up on some blog or TMZ since then? Does he have co-workers? Fascinating.
September 28th, 2011 at 10:01 AM

i’m fairly certain the guy who delivers my chinese food, kills it, cooks it, packages it, and delivers it. wash. rinse. repeat. except he doesn’t wash his clothes, hands, face or shoes ever because he looks like shit every time i see him, which makes me immediately regret ordering said chinese food.
September 28th, 2011 at 10:02 AM
Replace Chinese food with pizza and that’s what I did summer after HS too. Office installation for the old man in the morning, pizza delivery in the evening.
I think I spent all the money I saved up before we even hit winter break in college. That was lesson number one in money management.

The most fascinating thing I learned from the Bartman doc was that he went back to the female security guard’s (who wasn’t terribly unattractive for a security guard) apartment after the game!
Where were his friends? He went there with 2 other people, and they seemingly bailed on him and he didn’t see them the rest of the night.
September 28th, 2011 at 10:03 AM
He probably could have made quite a bit of money just being “that guy” and he has refused. Maybe someday in the future, he might capitalize on that fame, but that he hasn’t currently done so in our reality star driven culture is really fascinating.
September 28th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
had a great chinese food place near my old apartment. it was the best i’d ever had. then i was pouring out the little bag of crispy noodles onto my plate and found what appeared to be an insect part. in the sealed package. never ordered from there again.
September 28th, 2011 at 10:04 AM
I dunno, SG said yesterday that apparantly the guy was a dick in high school, so I dont feel as bad. Outside the death threats, everyone had every right to be pissed at the guy. People should have to pass a test to sit in the first row of a baseball stadium.

You would have done the same thing. It wasn’t that far out into the field of play.. .he didn’t lean over the railing or anything. Boston fans didn’t come away looking like saints in that documentary either. “Hey, we won a world series, let’s invite that guy we unfairly blamed one of our losses on back to throw out the first pitch so we can all feel better about ourselves!” The should have had him throw out the first pitch in 1987.
September 28th, 2011 at 10:15 AM
Yup, youre probably right. Obviously he was helping his team though. Like I said, if you are sitting in the first row, your number one priority is to NOT FUCK UP a chance for your team to score. If you ever do, you should not be allowed to sit in that row again. I feel very strongly about this.
September 28th, 2011 at 10:15 AM
I saw a Red Sox game a few weeks ago where there was a play that 95% of the time, a fan reaches in… and they all pulled away and let (I think) a runner score from first, instead of a ground-rule double. Wasn’t a huge deal at the time though because the Sox had the WC spot clinched.

i agree, but this will happen to bartman, too. someday, in about 40 years, the Cubs will win a world series, and bartman will come out for the first pitch, get an honorary championship ring, and some sweet lifetime tickets to a seat far from the field (everyone will have a good laugh about this), and the cubs will let goats roam the outfield, being chased by black cats during games.

Funny hearing that now used as a lazy way to insult Red Sox fans… because all I heard pre-2004 from media/non-Sox fans was that it was all Buckner’s fault. Red Sox fans didn’t blame him (at least later on) as much as everyone else in the country labelled him for the blame, and assumed Boston did as well.

He had to move away from Boston in 1993 and broke down into tears talking about what the Boston Media did to him and his family. He was obviously very hurt about what happened.

all hate from buckner should be directed straight to CHB, who made his career on coining the phrase, curse of the bambino. in fact, everyone’s hate, regardless of what it is about, should be directed in that manner.

I left New England for good in 2001, so I missed most of that angst. And I also never paid much attention to Buckner stuff, because I wasn’t really a Red Sox fan till 1992.
That said… Boston/national media loved to make a big deal of the Buckner play, and friends in college would always bring that up as a way to insult the Sox/Boston fans. I know that there was a lot of animosty towards Buckner initially, but but the early-mid 90′s until 2004, I don’t remember much talk or angst over him, as much as it just getting thrown in our faces all the time.

If DiceK hadn’t gotten hurt, the WC would be clinched by now. And Alfredo Aceves would have 10 extra wins from pitching the 5-6-7th innings of his starts.
Here is a great stat: only Jon Lester (25.2) has more innings pitched than Aceves (24) in September
September 28th, 2011 at 10:38 AM
The average length of the Boston starters in Sept is 4 2/3 innings.

They did… but with Lackey/Bedard/Wake/Lester going 4 innings a start, it really puts them in a bind. David Ortiz (and a lot of Sox fans, including me) thought he should get a start.
I was actually mad that Lackey got pulled when he did last start (in the seventh with the tying baserunner on, that Aceves let in)
