Someone in Turkey found the blog by searching for "ococ porn".
so what's a nrop?
The sister called me yesterday morning, walking around a McDonalds along the Mass Pike west of Springfield... She said those chicken biscuit sandwiches looked good, but she brought along a lot of "healthy snacks". She then told me she had to make sure to eat them in a timely manner because she wouldn't be able to bring them into Canada.
Not sure if you can bring produce from the US into Canada, but I know you can't bring produce from Canada into the US.
MFY tie it on a wild pitch.
ococ porn. Is it like porn with people that have dread locks? Or who run fast? Or who suck at hitting?
baseball's a walk in the park. then another one...and ano...
Masterson has an INSANE sinker. Starts off knee-high and then bounces in the dirt. 91 mph. It's like a hard splitter almost.
MFY take the lead.

Pretty sure there's grass diving involved.
2-1 CWS on Iwamura triple.
oh good god. so they're reporting that neither Bayh or Kaine is Obama's VP pick and earlier they said Biden had been ruled out.
I wish the campaign would just get a move on it and tell us what bland centrist they've picked so I can continue feeling the paucity of hope.
with game thread cursing and talk of joba, if comments can be searched, i'm surprised more pornoholics don't end up here.
Hopefully it isn't Chet Edwards.
Tek's going for the gritty cycle.
Tek on base 4 times tonight.
can coco make it 4!
I would like to point out that the Tel Aviv has nothing to do with me. I'm still in the capital of the confederacy.
NIX= 800,000
COCO= 4
If Tek and Coco can keep this up, it'll ease the pain of Drew's absence. (He's been pretty absent this second half anyway.)

OK, I just scanned through 11 pages of results from a google search for ococ porn and no JoS. There are 1.4M results for that, but they reinterpret it to accept coco and OC. putting it in quotes reveals just one result, but it's not in english.
Just got in after a 4 hour ride to the Cape. I heard the game along the way. My guy is HOT!
Marte plunks Huff. Fruitbat in with 2 out in the 8th.
Is there a special Turkey search engine?

Jays game thread...
Hilarious.
"Everyone hates Youkilis with a passion. He's one of those guys you genuinely wish bad things on. Is it because his head looks like a callused penis?"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's been a fucking year and two thirds, we play the BJs 19 times a year, and they still talk about Oki looking down on his delivery. Fuck, get some new shit.
OK, just getting settled in, had visitors in the room.
So Peds is just a freaking MONSTER isn't he?
Jeemer has had scoreless outings in all but two outings since July 1st.
3.21 ERA goes down to 2.9
Ofer, it seems to me Tek is doing better since leaving his wife, or at least going public. Not sure he wants to go back!
Allan, where is that quote about Youk from?
From that Jays thread.
From Jays Thread:
Campbell: "This is Jason Bay's first big league game in Canada. Hard to believe since he was in the majors in 2004 when the Expos were still around. You have to trust the information the Red Sox give you."
Do you, Jamie? You could do that, or you could also go to a series of tubes called "The Internets" and find that his first big league game in Canada was July 9, 2004 against the Expos.
Crack work, JC
********
Guy is right. Bay went 4-for-5.
Wow, no BJ has more than 12 dongs? No wonder they're not doing so well.
Jays fans call it "prick teasing" when the Jays play Boston or New York.
Or at least, the interwebs Jays fans.
Looked like the old Jeemer.
Now let's hope for the 07 Bot.
3-2 FKR. Die.
those jays fans. they got spunk. I might convert.
FKR
what! they cut of some Bob's cheerleaders for the first pitch?! I want to know how the chant ends.
Amy, I was just following up on the whole "I don't sleep with .218 hitters" thing.
Yeah, I knew that, Ofer. I was just putting a new spin on it all. :)
Skimmed over the Jays thread. Hilarious.
The bit about this being Jay's 1st game in CA is priceless. Is Nixon33 doing a cameo over there?
Took a webgem to retire Varitek for the first time!
Seriously, I think Nix's drinking buddies are all Jays fans.
Hey, SoSock, just saw you had signed in. How are things going?
Amy, I was just following up on the whole "I don't sleep with .218 hitters" thing.
Tek's up to .222 now.
Nick, where did you see that stuff about the VP potential candidates?
Took a webgem to retire Varitek for the first time!
GDGD is still on Jedi's AB. They've been really screwy for the last week or 2
Who the fuck is Cody Ransom and why is he 2 for 2 this year with 2 homers?
8-4 MFY.
Cabbage patch dong. 9-4 MFY.
Judging by this game, I'd say Varitek doesn't go down very often.
Hi Amy,
google news top stories. one blog is currently suggesting it's gonna be Jack Reed from Jere's new home state of RI.
So you think that was Tek's problem at home, Nick?
CWS threatening with men on first and second and one out.
Gotta hold off on the election talk until L is around so she can "go ballistic" like never before!
Reed's a fine choice, except for the whole Republican governor getting to appoint a replacement senator thing.
Jack Reed from RI? That's not a name I have seen.
RI could probably pull a Massachusetts and amend its election laws to have the replacement chosen by special election. (Fuck you, Romney.)
Where is she? I want to see her go ballistic over election talk AND all the earlier Olympics talk.
Hi Amy
Things are seeming to improve or the 1st time in a week. Of course, that time they quickly turned sour and got worse, but she has gotten gradually better for 2 straight days now, and was actually stting up in bed beading on some jewelry all evening, so I'm hopeful.
Definitely gonna be here through at least Monday though.
Oh right. Don't want laura to miss her chance to go ballistic. I'll shut up 'bout it.
Also drudge report's good for VP stuff.
Plus does Obama need anyone from a state like RI? That's almost like picking a Senator from MA.
Hang in there, SoSock. We are all pulling for you here. I am glad she is doing better.
Castig and Arnold are talking about guys who wear their hat brims straight, not worrying about the fashion thing... Talked about Sherill, then both simultaneously said, "Jimy Williams."
We can go on forever, though.
VPs haven't delivered geography since 1960, so it's silly to judge a pick that way. (Reed's baseless speculation, probably, though.)
Dirty water!
DP for the dirty water!
First round is on me! Next one is on... Amy!
Water.
l'eau sale
True, Phil, but what does Reed add? I am not wild about any of those mentioned, but there aren't too many politicians who would excite me.
I also am not sure the VP selection ultimately determines how any or many people vote.
Good. Calm win tonight.
Time to switch to the FKR game.
Eso es el juego!
OK, I'll take the second round...as long as we keep on winning!
грязная вода
Dye's useless.
I am happy for the Sox, happy for Tek, happy it is the weekend.
Good night, everyone.
Reed's got foreign policy heft and seems like a safe durable guy to have hanging in the wings.
The drunk jays fans stopped posting fifteen minutes ago.
Night, all!
(I'm staying, though.)
im psyched we won. but of course the MFY won, and the FKR will win. WTF?!?!?!
lets hope The AC of AHH can win
Shouldn't the VP selection have to do more with who will be a good VP, instead of who will bring in more votes?
(I'm just acting naive...)
There was a great piece on NPR today about the VP selection. The author being interviewed, I forget the name, said that the selection really doesn't afffect the outcome, but often says a lot about the candidates opinion of himself. As in what does he need in a VP to make himself a better president.

מים מלוכלכים
Can you see this? Or do you just get random symbols?
çirkef
i see it.
Very cool Ofer. I'm taking Hebrew, but I'm sorry to say I'm ot recognizing that phrase. The Hebrew is definitely coming thru though
Varitek hit dongs in three consecutive games for the first time in his career.
Rays magic number drops to 31 if they win.
6-2 FKR
im gonna snap
It's dirty water, of course.
And the fucking Rays are making Hawk and his special friend very quiet. 6-2
I see it, Ofer. Dirty water in Hebrew. (I assume since I see "mayim"---I don't know how to say dirty in Hebrew.)
Looking at Tek's game log for 2008 for games he's been on base 4 times (hits/walks):
A quick scan shows May 18 as the only other game: 2 H, 2 BB
meluhlahim
or if you wanna exaggerate, it would be metunafim
But that's more like filthy.
Zobrist. Gimme a fucking break.
Ofer - Since I'm not good enough to read it without the vowels there, (how DO you guys do that)will you please transliterate.
Maybe I can impress the rabbi :)
Thanks, Ofer. My Hebrew is limited to prayerbook Hebrew for the most part. Lots of talk about "mayim," not much talk about dirty or filthy---though I bet there is more than I know about. :)
And there you've gone and done it while I was writing.
Thanks!
It's mayim meluhlahim. And about how to do it- you have to know the word to know how it's pronounced. Unless it's written with punctuation (we have the special punctuation that serves instead of vowels), but nobody uses that.
SoSock, I bt y cn rd ths wtht vwls.
Hbrw s nt tht dffrnt.
If you know the words, you don't need the vowels. We learn words long before we read them. So those Israelis aren't really that clever. :)
Alexei Ramirez dongs with Thome aboard.
6-4 now in bot 8th
The other sox might be starting something. 6-4
Unless it's written with punctuation (we have the special punctuation that serves instead of vowels), but nobody uses that.
That's actually what I was referring to. You call it punctuation, to me it's the vowels. And I am helpless to pronounce any word without it. Well, maybe a couple of the basics.
I guess, as you say, it's just recognizing the word, which comes with growing up with it
Francona, on Drew: "We're actually reassured. When it first came out we said 'uh oh', but now it's reassuring that it hasn't gotten worse."
Also talked about muscle spasms and they're just working to calm it down. Doesn't sound too bad.
And Griffey reaches on a dropped pop up.
Let's go, White Sox!!!!!!!!
fuck - no he didn't. he struck out.
fuck you gdgd
GDGD has really been screwy lately.
eff you swisher.
and double eff you uribe.
shit - 6-4 after 8.
cws will have the top of the order in the 9th.
Watch out, White Sox... if Tampa wins the AL East, this is your ALDS opponent.
and we'll get the angels again.
and we'll get the angels again.
Another reason to catch up to the FKR. Pass them, win AL East, play Chicago, and let them deal with LAAAoAAAAAA
Well, it'll take a 2-run 9th to keep it alive now.
Who would you rather face in the ALCS: FKR or LAAoAAoAAAoA?
Who would you rather face in the ALCS: FKR or LAAoAAoAAAoA?
Don't matter. Just wanna get there. ... At that point, LA, I think.
Rays would feel invincible. yeah, like they don't now ...
Joe hasn't called you for a ride yet, sir Sock?
i think he is supposed to call at 11:30 or so. probably at a bar at the moment.
I agree with just getting there. That's going to be an adventure in and of itself. In a 7-game series I think I'd take on the Angels too.
2-run dong for delmon young.
2-0 twins in top 4th
TB 7-4.
FUCK A FUCKING FUCK.
It's really funny. I'm 'watching' the FKR-CWS game, but doing other things. And two times already I've come back to it to see the Rays have scored a run, and I had no idea, cause the Chi anncrs just didn't say anything.
7-4 -- and 2 on with no outs.
damn - these fucking rays are relentless.
That's why they're the fucking rays.
And even former Rays are raking!
imagine if hawk had been calling the game for the marlins when the red sox got the first 11 guys on and scored 10 runs before an out.
it would have been like watching a 30-minute silent movie!
yeah.
pena - why can't we get players like that?
Twins/White Sox have a half-game swing for the Central going, too. White Sox lose and Twins win, everything would flip. And we'd be focusing on Chicago again for the wild card.
Crazyness of baseball.
Yeah. See, Hawk... Part of being a broadcaster is to broadcast the game. At least give the gist of what's going on. Not just when it's your team scoring.
After 8 in St. Louis...
ATL: 000 010 00 - 1 7 0
STL: 040 263 03 - 18 26 0
Remember Willie Harris?
Today against Chicago, he hit a grand slam and a two-run dong, walked and scored 3 times.
Why can't we get a guy like that?!
Obviously Chicago meaning the Cubs...
8-4 Rays! Cock nugget.
Good sign.
Cat is wanting to use the puter. 1st time for that in over a week.
So I'll happily say - g'night

holy canoli, the twins will now turn into the rays!
one last thing about the whole olympic sex thing...
what i don't understand is that aren't top athletes supposed to be complete psychos about their fitness?
a lot of boxers wont have sex for months before a match. i've heard soccer players do the same thing.
its all psychological, but a lot of them believe in not wasting precious energy.
im surprised that someone who worked their whole life training to get to get a rare appearance i the games would be walking around banging anything that moved.
edit. i see most of the banging was done after either they were eliminated, or the event was over.
BANG AWAY, LADIES AND GENTS, BANG AWAY!
No Jack Reed. No Ralph Reed. No Jimmy Reed. Biden. Boredom.
