TFD: Feeding the Evil Empire, vote for COW
Posted on December 12th, 2008 – 4:44 PMBy Michael Rand
Well, it looks like the Yankees are going to add A.J. Burnett to their roster for a cool $82.5 million over five years. So that’s about $40 million a year committed to CC Sabathia and Burnett for the next five years (plus a couple more years of CC after that). So yeah, put that in your recession pipe and smoke it, along with that tobacco you have cut with newspaper shavings in order to make it last a little longer. Oh, and they might sign Andy Pettitte as well. Time to put on the hate pants! (Doesn’t everyone have hate pants)? As for us, we’ll be heading over soon to watch a 4-17 basketball team.
We would ask just one favor in the mean time: vote for Commenter Of the Week. It’s been a truly outstanding week, with fine performances from the usual suspects and new folks joining the fold with some nice musings as well. We would encourage you to vote for Rocket, but we don’t want him to use his power to tell the story of that one time with the yak, the Romanian ice dancing team and the “experimental surgery.” So do what you will.

I’m splitting my vote because I can:
.5 to Rocket for taking longform commentary to places I never thought it could go. Like Grand Forks.
.5 to Swamptown, because perfectly executed Good Times references deserve something, goddammit.
I think I’d vote for Clarence, just to see a Randball Three-peat. Wait, is that copyrighted?
But I am curious to hear more from Rocket, so… Rocket COW!!!

Re: Nick Punto Signing
Dear Mr. Smith,
What’s the past tense of scammed? Is it scrumped? Billy Smith, you’ve just been scrumped.
/DVR makes me a day late with everything
I’m following Stu and splitting my vote between Clarence “Screaming Buffalo” Swamptown and Rocket.
I’m voting for Rocket.
I’m holding back a vote for Mr. Swamptown, largely because I wouldn’t want too much blog popularity to go to his head. I’d hate to see him start claiming to be bigger than Rand or something.
Gotta be Rocket. Stories were way too good. Although Swamptown has been a staple of comment genius.
1 to Rocket.
Breaking news:
Michael Rand, blogger, has been indicted on charges of selling next week’s COW to the highest bidder.
Wow. On top of charges of plagiarism and selling the COW, we now have shocking video of Rand abusing his pug. (That is not a euphemism.)

Not the best anniversary week for Randball.
Rand’s pug was not freaking on the laser pen - it was simply expressing (in typical Pug body language) how the 4-way stop signs and left-turn lanes on the new revamped “R.T. Ryback Memorial Lyndale Avenue Blvd.” has helped lessen gridlock on the old “R.T. Ryback Because Of I35 Construction Makes Nicollet Avenue Gridlock Memorial Byway”.
The pug has seen the light. Either that, or the last Wild game. Either way, bummer.
