Traci, word up, yo? Since you're not going on the cruise with Brian, he's just gonna have to push a different white woman off the deck into ocean oblivion. How come it's always white women that that happens to? Why never a Cuban guy? Oh. Because...um...nope, not gonna say it. No Cuban floating in a refrigerator-tied-to-tires jokes here. None. What. So. Ever.
I can safely say that my tummy was not being rubbed...however, just as a point of interest, Ping-Ping, the smallest man in the world, was shaving my legs at the time that photo was taken.
Calm down now...You still have to beat Torre & the Dodgers. I bet on you guys but today L.A. & Tampa! By the way, Kathleen Dunbar is my new favorite comedian!!!
Well, congrats on another divison title. We CHOKED to Florida AGAIN! And what do we do? Extend Omar's contract for another 4 years..He hasn't fixed the bullpen in 2 years and failed to make the playoffs with all this talent but he stays? If we don't make people laugh, we don't come back to that club! Good luck vs. L.A.
I agree but don't think the Nat's won't bring there "A" game! They have no worries and can play aggressive...I need advil extra strength and a bottle of Jack!
That's it I'm through with the Mets. They're like the mean boyfriend who keeps cheating on you, but you forgive and forget, but then...If they call, I am NOT in!
