- The San Francisco Giants are kind of hard to dislike.
- I'll probably regret not going to one of the World Series games. It may not come back here for another 40 years. (This after a buddy of mine up at the courthouse had this same discussion, he then runs out and buys a single ticket, and texts me a photo from the game last night.)
- I predict Cliff Lee won't re-sign here. He used the word "they" a whole lot when referring to the Rangers in his post game press conference.
- After Nelson Cruz's homer last night, the Second Grader said, "At least we have a point." Mrs. LL looked at her and said, "It's called a run" and then she looked at me expecting a big Sports Approval Nod. She got it.
- Pitchers and catchers report in 105 days.
- Doesn't that Rangers "Western Division Champions" t-shirt seem a little cheesy now?
- I'm not sure what happened in the district court yesterday morning. I saw a jury panel being dismissed, and a guy in civilian clothes in handcuffs in the nearby conference room. I'm guessing a last second plea.
- Kim Kardashian's Halloween cat outfit.
- Paris Hilton's Halloween Indian outfit.
- Did it seem like the sun failed to come up on time this morning. It was dark.
- The absolute worst start to a newscast in the history of ever. Funny.
- Man, Fox News is giddy about this being election day. I bet that most of you are, too.
- Chico and Paradise vote on alcohol sales. Hmm. Chico votes for it. Paradise votes against it. At least according to my early exit polling.
- Stopped by my cleaners yesterday to find out the landlord had changed the locks. I'm glad I was dropping off and not picking up.
- Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson yesterday in Dallas, told the Republican crowd that they are “liberty-loving, gun-owning, God-fearing, socialism-hating, anti-big government, hard working, oil- and gas-drilling, Texas Republicans who are better for it, not bitter about it.” Good grief.
- Star-Telegram Halloween party pics from this weekend. (I like the Robert Palmer "Addicted to Love" get up, and there are a few "hey, nows" in there.)
- Bridgeport's Colin Jones had a 30 yard interception return for a TD as TCU beat UNLV on Saturday.
- Upper deck tickets for the Cowboy game on Sunday were $12. They were horrible seats, but that's a shocking price.

On December 21 2012 it will appear the Sun forgot to come up.
Keep watching FOX NEWS: You are NEVER too old to learn!
"Good grief" on the Patterson comment -- hyperbolic though it was -- shows no appreciation for the clever evocation of the quip.
Morning news fail was greatness. It reminds me of that Waco weatherman who had many epic fails on TV.
Today's pic = awesomeness. Both are way better than Paris or Kim K.
Rangers lost. Bummer. But I still have hope conservatives will WIN IT!
Paris Hilton's a skank, rich & sexy, but still a skank!
Regarding World Series...yes, you missed out, maybe. A buddy of mine and i saw Nolan get 5,000th Strike Out while we were in Law School. A few years later, we were both in attendance when Mr. Ryan introduced his fist to Robin Ventura's noggin. We also were there when they opened the Ball Park and @ the first ever playoff game in Arlington. Good times all. But neither of us really planned on laying down the cash to go World Series. We're older, have other priorities. And then my wife called him up made sure he could go, then she bought the tickets and told me about it after the fact. He and I went Saturday night, so now we have 1st ever World Series victory to add to our Rangers experiences. If you had to go solo like your friend, i think it wouldn't be worth it; however, if you have a friend you could share the experience with, then yes, you missed out. As an aside, if you ever get a wife who buys you World Series tickets and tells you not to worry about where the money came from, you have a keeper.
I wish December 21, 2012 would hurry up and get so 8:48 could talk about something else. I envision him doing nothing but sitting in a dark room in the corner constantly repeating December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012 December 21, 2012
Judgement Day is here for all you "Hope and Change" nitwits!
I will be watching Fox News all day today except for the time it takes me to go vote and help reshape the Congress.
Colin also had at least 30 yards in Personal fouls. Face mask and helmet to helmet hit...I suppose the TD makes up for it.
9:45
And how many other Wise County kids scored touchdowns on national TV last weekend. It doesn't need an asterisk.
I envision December 21, 2012 as Randy Quaid.
Randy Quaid and his wife are freaks. Did you see that interview they did recently?
It was awesome for the Rangers to make it to the World Series. The difference seemed to be the Giants pitching. They sure made the Rangers look silly at the plate.
Direct quote from Texasrangers.com from Cliff Lee.
"We did a lot of firsts for this organization. We were the second-best team in the big leagues. We should be proud of that. We're going to use this for motivation and come in next year and try to do better."
I don't know about giddy....but God knows we are hopefull that the madman may be in check.
I envision I will get gas after lunch.
Colin Jones did account for 30 yards in penalties in the first half. That doesn't negate the TD or the other great work he does on the field. I thought the helmet-to-helmet flag was questionable. Looked like a clean hit to me. There was no doubt about the facemask call. We're rooting for Colin and the Frogs
Even though they lost the game and lost the World Series, it was totally worth going to the game last night. The atmosphere was great, and I got souvenirs and memories of the Rangers playing in their first ever WS.
To paraphrase the song Norm led with this morning: They didn't get what they wanted, but they got what they needed (and it was mostly things they were not expected to get). Namely:
the AL West title
a postseason win
a postseason win - and series win - against the Yankees (goodbye demons from the past)
the American League title
a trip to the World Series
That's some mighty impressive accomplishments for a team that was not expected to win their division. The Rangers now have the ownership, coaching, and core players of a team that can make it to the WS.
Nice pic today. Way better than that awful looking plasti-trash from yesterday
Election day! WOO HOO!
Paris pic:
I didn't know someone could look dark and pale at the same time. Not very appealing. She's got a weird thing happening with her face, like it's a guy doing a Paris impersonation
Kardashian pic:
Garfield just THOUGHT he had a fat a$$, but get a load of that one
11:00
Simple, but funny comment.
Yes, the thought of less government, less spending and lower taxes does make me giddy. In fact, the thought brings total elation.
The always snarky 12.21.2012 commenter cracks me up, every time.

To anonymous 9:34...
PERFECT assessment of the November 2, 2010 elections.
Jury panel was dismissed until Thursday morning.
Conservatives with election erections, both male and female, should contact a doctor if lasting more than four hours.
I'm 2012 and I love you Mzchief.
Yes, but I am 2062, and on Dec. 22, 2012 only Mzchief and I will be relevant!
when i first saw today pic, all i could think of was DAMN!
On todays pic;enney meeny miney moe,but I think the one with the smallest head first.I think Jerry Patterson is doing a hell of a job.Is that a lizard hanging out of Paris"s bottom? Did she have a peace pipe?
Looks like this thread has purdy much fizzed out.
"Pitchers and catchers report in 105 days."
If you go to the Rainbow Lounge, you can pitch or catch in less than 20 minutes...easy.
Double Fake Perez Hilton
Colin was and is always a bad ass!!! Woo-hooo!! And the commenter Answers.. was correct--who else from Wise County was on national tv scoring a td last weekend?? Nope, didn't think so--just Colin Jones, from B'port!! Go Bulls!!
