The MLB All-Star game finished in dramatic fashion less than 24 hrs ago with the AL pulling out the win in the 15th inning. George Sherrill, the lone Oriole, pitched a tough scoreless 2 and a third innings to admirably represent the Orange and Black.
On another note, you can learn a lot about who you're supposed to be by taking in the ads targeted at you during your can't miss TV experiences. For example, if you watch the MLB All-Star game, your prostate is enlarged, you have erectile dysfunction, you drive American cars and you drink American beer. The male prostato-genital ad budget has got to be bigger than most countries' GNP. If you get up at night to pee, you HAVE to start taking pills, no matter how dizzy it makes you or how many deformed babies are born from women handling said pills. And, apparently, the time you'll be most grateful to have taken your flomax is when you're out on a boat with your buddies fishing. Newsflash marketers: there's nothing more American or manly than whipping it out on boat and pissing over the side 10-12 times per excursion; I'd target road trips instead if I were you. Kudos to Fox for not starting the viagra ads til after 11. There's nothing more embarassing and awkward than having to explain to your children why ten male musicians in a recording studio suddenly bust out in a countrified Elvis parody where the chorus is Viva Viagra! They tell us in the ad that this happened at 1 am which makes perfect sense: at that hour, the macho facade you have w/ your fellow musicians about your penis still working melts away and you all spontaneously break into musical catharsis singing the praises of viagra.

dude, do us blog-readers all a favor and get tivo or dvr to ffwd through those commercials. this blog contains waaaay too much analysis of commercials that you are forced to watch and, worse, think about.
let's hear more about george sherrill's rise to stardom from his modest independent league origins -- good stuff.
I wish it were that easy Ted. I come to work and get bombarded all day w/ requests for flomax and viagra, neither of which is on VA formulary, fyi. This is my only recourse.
Jury's still out on Flat Breezy's stardom but he definitely has overachieved in a big way.
and I admit it, I love to hate commercials.
But, I LOVE the new Burger King ad with the guy using the metal detector on the beach...Check it out:

trembley needs to stop whining that poor Georgie had to throw 25 pitches..wah, wah, wah....
at least he whining's about baseball. this red sox - yankers 'who booed who's wife' in the parade drama is so typically overblown. i hope in the next series there's a good ol' fashioned brawl except there aren't any seniors in the dugout for papelbon to put in a headlock and throw to the ground. maybe if steinbrenner comes out on his cart?
