Bizarro Seinfeld reference...

you’re such a dork.

Seinfeld

Instead of the “hottest simpsons character,” Adam’s poll should be hottest Seinfeld girlfriend…

From the top of my head, i would say the blonde in the show where jerry goes into queens to follow the hit n run dood.

you know

i saw that episode last night; was the character in that show named ‘Feldman’ or “Felfman” or something like that, i could not hear a ‘D’ in the name at all when anyone in the show was saying it…

I’m fairly sure I have this episode DVR’d, so I guess I’ll see if I can find out.

by rcreative on Jul 5, 2008 5:42 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

No Luck

But according to Wikipedia, it is in fact Feldman.

by rcreative on Jul 5, 2008 5:48 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Seinfeld Scripts...

shows it as Feldman.

Also, the guy who played Feldman, Pat Kilbane is listed as Feldman on IMDB.

Absolute crap...

that Pedroia beat out Kinsler.

At least they mention that Board Game will replace Ortiz.

Kiker?

Think this would be a spot to promote Kiker and give him 5 or 6 starts in AA?

by rentz on Jul 5, 2008 5:50 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Sadly...

Josh was a little off…beasticon is a description, not a nickname.

Although there are only two Rangers who warrant that description.

by Adam J. Morris on Jul 5, 2008 6:02 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

If only he could have reference

DeRosa as Dumpmaster back in the day…

by Agreen07 on Jul 5, 2008 6:05 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

That's awesome...

someone should email him the Users Guide to Lone Star Ball so he can start referencing all of the nicknames here.

Also, I would laugh forever if I ever heard him use the phrase: “Double Play Dinosaur.”

Yea or throw up a Rally Turtle pic on screen.

Good idea...

And some updates need to be made.

I’ll work on it this weekend.

by ghostofErikThompson on Jul 5, 2008 6:07 PM CDT to parent up   0 recs

Update

this time include Hanky Poo as a nickname for Hank Blalock…

Mariano Rivera

Takes the mound in the top of the 9th against Boston, Yanks up 2-0…

He goes single-HBP-single-HBP to the first 4 batters, loading up the bases with the tying run on third…

Then goes K-popup-K to get the save.

To repeat...

Doesn’t it seem like he leads off every game with a double?

Hopefully tonight can go better...
