Goddamnit. That sucks, didn't even think to look.

How in 2011 are these games no in HD? especially for close to $200 a season.

Maryland treating you well?

Job is great, but I really don't like it down here. The pace is too slow (I think maryland is where the south starts). I could get into other stuff about MD that I don't like, but I'd get in trouble (demographics). The towson area isn't bad, but most of the baltimore area is. DC is cool, but the traffic down there is insane. I've been down there a lot the last 3 months and it seems like there is a 4 hour window (between 10-2) during the day that you have to hit that city in order to avoid traffic.

I have a demo at the Capitol Building on Tuesday, which should be pretty cool. I had to give them all types of personal info for them to run so I can get into the building.

Not to sound like a vag, but it sucks being down here knowing my wife is pregnant up in philly.

I'm sure things will work themselves out, but there's a lot more uncertainty than I'd like right now.

How you holding up dude?

Glad to hear the job is going well. I hear you on that though, traffic is brutal in DC. Parents moved to NC so I have been doing the drive quite a bit over the past couple years and DC is the worst. The south is a whole different world.

Pretty sweet about the Capitol Building, it's a cool place. I am sure about the info though. Clinton gave a talk at my college when she was a senator and no one was allowed in any of the buildings close to where she would be for a week before.

Definitely has to be tough with the wife, I can't imagine. Sounds like its early though so you have some time to figure everything out. It will definitely work out. Good luck though.

Doing alright, as crazy as it sounds, I still feel like it hasn't hit me yet. Some days are worse than others. Just fucking blows but we are getting through it. My liver has taken a beating though.

I want to stab McCarthy in the eye with a pen. Dude gets all loud when Gload gets a pinch hit with 2 outs.......down SIX. He is the worst.

:shifty:

haha. There used to be a group on FB called Fire Tom McCarthy.

Might be the "I love the Phillies, but I hate Tom McCarthy and Chris Wheeler", which I found myself joining. Guess it never caught on. Damnit.

On that site, listen to the "What a night" clip. What. a. fucking. idiot.

the clip of sarge laughing at mccarthy's idiocy is gold too. the payoff is at the end.

Man, this is great. Just keep clicking older posts and it makes you wonder that dude, and Wheels, have some fucking blackmail material on the higher-up's of this organization.

And what sucks is - and I love JJ, don't get me wrong - it looks like they're slowly transitioning Jackson in and all that talk of Scott leaving for Texas might be true after this year with his contract being up. I wanna know how McCarthy gets the full 9 just because Harry died nearly two years ago. How doesn't Franzke and LA not get a shot at TV?
