  • I'm on "vacation" today. That means I'm already up doing work, preparing for a 10am call, and then probably going into the office. #

  • There's a distinct possibility that I will either throw someone out a window or just tell everyone "peace" and walk out today. Stay tuned. #
  • No one defenestrated yet. Urge to kill decreasing. #
  • @wintermatt I apologized to someone for leaving early. We are both dumb. in reply to wintermatt #

  • I just need McCoy or Jackson to lose half a point. Please. #
  • I lost fantasy football by less than half a point. I will still repeat as champion. Mark my words. #
  • The Beatles as Apple's big announcement is about as anti-climatic as me getting everyone excited and announcing that I had a bowel movement. #
  • It's 10am, I think Apple's site just went down as people furiously reload it hoping to get iOS 4.2, rather than this Beatles BS. #
  • Today's big announcement: http://www.ryantoohil.com/images/iTunes-20101116-100137.jpg #
  • @wintermatt At this moment, I have nothing to announce. But stay tuned, as this story continues to develop. In my bowels. in reply to wintermatt #
  • Hokies and K-State playing some afternoon ball. I could throw it on my second monitor, if ESPN's site worked #

  • So Moss is just kind of done, eh? Killing my fantasy team all season. #
  • By the way, I look like a genius for starting Mike Thomas. Less of a genius for starting Randy Moss. #
  • Finally, a day where my fantasy team might go off. Mike Thomas already. Kyle Orton, S-Jax, and Bradshaw going at it now. #
  • I hate you Tom Coughlin. Put Bradshaw back in. Stop letting Jacobs vulture my TDs. #
  • 40 point fantasy lead heading into tomorrow, with my opponent having McCoy and Jackson (projected for 30 pts). I'll have to sweat it out. #

Homer Simpson as Jamie Moyer

I just finished watching the latest episode of The Simpsons. Five episodes into the 22nd season (that's right, the 22nd season), and it felt like an episode that wouldn't have been out of place during the prime years of the show.

Some highlights:

  • The running 7 of clubs joke
  • The nice emotional beats of the Homer/Maggie and Marge/Lisa stories
  • Marge's exasperated "Not a good time" as Maggie waddles in

It wasn't an amazing episode, but just a very good one. The show, like Jamie Moyer, is mostly getting by on guile these days, mixing in average to slightly below average episodes that are just good enough to be better than your average episode of the craptastic Family Guy.

But every once in a while, there's a gem like this one, from May 7th: CG, 2 H, 0 ER, 5K, 0BB, 105 pitches, a game score of 88.

Jamie Moyer, in his 24th season, threw one of the top 15 games in the NL. Tonight's Simpsons felt kinda like that. A weird throwback to a better time.

(Or, it's completely possible that this was a Dice-K game, where I'm just happy that it got out of the 6th inning, only giving up 3 runs on 5BB and 2K.)

  • While my arteries won't be happy about it, just had a Spike's Patriot Dog to start the game. Apparently it was not good luck. #
  • Let me know when Brady shows up to the Pats game. #
  • All of Brady's passes have been slightly off, and he's got a lot more wobble to this throws today. Also, Matt Light: still a horrible LT. #
