True enough. But it turns out our little armor-plated friend is something of an anglophile. So, while he’s not really up to dancing today, he could, probably, be talked into a pint or two—after which he’ll gladly join you in a game of darts, and maybe even a bar fight against whatever yuppified American wankers try switching off Manchester United in favor of a stupid Rockies game.

GO ROCKIES!
Hands across the sea.
(GO NATS!)
There was a British series called “Survivors”. It was set in the near future after a plague had kill 90 % of the population. Your reference reminded me of a couple lines in the show. “ You better watch out for him.” points to a mans scraf “ Those are team colours of Manchester United. They play dirty. Don’t you turn your back on him.”
But if I remember correctily Powerline last mention of MU. MU is just a shell of itself. Sort of like the Astros.
Baseball? Pheh. The WNBA is where it’s at (because I’m a lesbian in a fat old guy’s body…).
I don’t even like socce–um, sorry, blokes–football, but I’d still rather watch a Man U game than a Rockies game.
Tell us, Jeff, does the li’l fella slather baked beans all over his breakfast? Because, from what I’ve heard of him so far, that could be disasterous.
Little dude’ll put beans on anything. But it’s part of his charm.
Incidentally, the Rockies have a lot of good young players, like Matt Holliday, Clint Barmes, Aaron Miles, Brad Hawpe, Garrett Atkins, JD Closser, Aaron Cook, Brian Fuentes (a few of whom are injured just now). They have the makings of a very good club in the next couple years.
“They have the makings of a very good club in the next couple years.”
Yeah, but once the pitchers self-destruct from pitching in that park, and the hitters leave in free agency, you’ll be saying the same thing in 5 years.
Sorry dude, the truth hurts, but these are the Rockies.
Good enough
Sandbagger!
HEY!. Don’t diss the Astros yet…they’re on a run!

(Insert ridiculous partisan blathering about the Phils here.) OK, they won’t make the playoffs AGAIN.
And no, I wouldn’t want to play there, either.

No offense, but the last time i checked, he was still alive.
Yeah, Craig, but he’s dead on the inside. I mean, can you imagine being Nolan Ryan and not pitching in the Big Leagues?
Then again, I’ve never pitched a no-hitter, so I’m just a chickenpitcher.
Very perceptive choice of teams there. Foreign Anglophiles support Man U in their millions, and Real Brits support anyone playing against Man U (especially if it’s Manchester City). It’s kinda like the Cowboys in America.
I like Atkins and Barmes (he seems like a good guy to go, I dunno, four-wheeling with or something). But where are the arms?
No Astro-bashing allowed. They’ve won 14 of the last 18. Deja vu from last year…
For SportsCenter, I’m Chris Berman.
Turing: volume (“Turn down the volume; it’s that annoying Chris Berman.”)
Attention PW Readers: If I were you I’d cast a very wary eye on the little fellow before you decide to play him for a buck a point. The drunken stumbling and attempted fondling is all show. He took me for $300.00 in a bar just outside of Golden and followed it up by beating the Louisiana state darts champ in a pool hall in North Platte, NE. With the right backer he’d be unstoppable.
Aynway, where do you think Jeff gets the cash to to buy all those DVDs?
I wish Clint Barmes broke his collarbone four-wheeling. I think his eventual explanation – that he was carrying a rack of freakin’ deer meat up the stairs, lost his balance and fell – is such a typically dumbass baseball player injury, it’s likely the truth.
And no, I’m not freakin’ bitter at all, just because Venison Boy’s injury screwed my fantasy baseball team this season. And quit looking at me like that – so I’m a fantasy baseball geek. I don’t want to hear about it.
Particularly from you chickenfantasybaseball players. You know who you are. Bwak bwak bawk!
Is our simian friend and erstwhile entertainer aware that he’s been replaced? If the armadillo is an Anglophile, can we not infer that this is why the armadillo was found preferential (that and he’ll actually dance), and does this not make it a racist firing? Or am I racist for implying that anyone would find firing the monkey to be racist? Perhaps presuming that you prefer Anglophiles of any sort, with prehensile tail or without, is racist?
