If Fishes Were Horses

I know I always complain about baseball announcers, but the Chicago White Sox announcers are the WORST. They sound like they are on Quaaludes and they have absolutely nothing insightful to say WHATsoever. At least, unlike the Texas announcers, they weren't being all stalky about Johnny Damon last night.

What is this new thing where jeans cost hundreds of dollars? That’s the biggest scam since the $1-per-item pick-your-own-toppings salads that have taken over New York. I just saw an ad for $92 Wranglers. Wranglers! Don’t they sell those on QVC?

(Actually I’d have to ask my mom to answer that one, she is the queen of QVC.)

The latest commercial that annoys me is the Coors Light one in which the people are playing volleyball on the beach and are all hot and sweaty, and then a train comes along carrying Coors Light and makes everything snowy and cold. If I were on the beach, enjoying the sun and a nice hot day, and a train came along and ruined it, I would take someone out with my beach chair. Especially if the train were carrying Coors Light. First the train gives me hypothermia, then it brings me cases of carbonated horse urine. Not cool.

I actually had the opportunity to go out tonight but I am opting to stay in and watch the History channel because I am a winner. I am, however, watching a fascinating episode of Modern Marvels about the history of commercial fishing which begs the question, if dolphins and whales are mammals, why do they try to pass themselves off as fish? What are they trying to prove? If you're a mammal you should be furry and live on land. Not scaly and living in water. Either be a mammal or be a fish. You can't have it both ways.

Are these the same Chicago Whitesox announcers that were on tv on Thursday PM? The ones that seemed somewhat normal until the bottom of the 8th, when Curt Schilling came to the mound and they turned into a bunch of raucus fans? IE: After a foul ball hit by one of the white sox, the Red sox make an effort to catch it, and they chant into the mic "Get out. get out. Get out of play. C'mon get out of play" -- These same announcers?

They were horrible.

Anonymous Commenter: I AM NOT THE QUEEEN OF QVC -- CATHY IS! Anyone who pays $92 for wrangler's need their heads examined, they should not be allowed to touch money, they should be taken off the street. Have a nice day.
