I know all of the LOV Cribs episodes was like three weeks ago. But you know us fat guys... always bringing up the rear whether it is a footrace or a Tug-O-War.
So by request... I bring you my crib!
I have a simple modest rowhome. Just enough room on the front patio though for the grill and table. So it works for me. 
The living room, just painted a few weeks ago. Now the important info... Sony Bravia, 42 inch, rear projection, HD, LCD. It doesn't suck.
Another view from the front door looking in. The couch has two recliners as well. I know how to live.
The kitchen and dining room all in one. This basically sold us on the house. The other houses in our area have a wall seaprating the kitchen and dining area. This one was opened up. Lots of room for my big ass to do some cooking.
The fridge... we hadn't done much shopping lately, so not much food in the house. But we have plenty of condiments, and some beer as you can see. So we have that going for us. 
Wine rack... Riedel crystal glasses... stay classy! 
China cabinet... why we have this, I still don't know. But my mom and grandmother kept begging us to accept china as a wedding gift. So we did. And then we bought an $800 china cabinet at Crate and Barrel just to hold the china. So now I have china in a cabinet which we never use. But apparently it impresses people. 
Upstairs can... freshly painted as well. It also has a wooden tray type of thing on the back of the can which holds the magazines. This was a godsend because it keeps the magazines from falling off the can, which is quite annoying. We actually bought the wooden tray type of thing in Maine and dragged it back to Philly. It was handmade by some old guy in Maine. I mean, we reek of class.
The guest bedroom... pretty modest.
Master bedroom... much more colorful. Indian women like colorful stuff. OK... enough crap. I know what you really want to see.
THE MAN LAIR!!!
I know I posted pictures before, but I don't remember if I ever gave a real description of what I have there. More has been added since those last pics anyway. So you get the $1.98 version of the tour this time instead of the fitty cent tour I gave last time.
The Man Lair has a separate can of course. Pictures of the Rat Pack, a mini Vegas shrine, pictures of Babe Ruth smoking cigars, and a Cohiba logo are among the decorations.
The bar... only a two seater, but I liked the look of it. My humidor is toward the back of the pic loaded with many cigars. The Ray Charles statue actually does sing if you push a button.
I call this the Legends Wall. You can see the humidor at the bottom, and my scotch collection on the upper right. The legends autographs from left to right starting with the top row... Art Carney, Rodney Dangerfield, and George Carlin. Middle row... BB King, Ed McMahon, and James Earl Jones. Bottom row... Dom DeLuise, Bob Newhart, and Bill Cosby. You can also see some Sopranos autographs in this shot, which are Vincent Pastore (Big Pussy) and Joe Gannascoli (Vito). The framed album is Eric Clapton's first solo album, but not autographed.
Closeup of the scotch collection and the bar glass collection. Mini-bottles of Johnnie Walker Blue, Green, and Gold are there, as well as Dewars 12 Year Old, and Dalmore Cigar Malt. I also have a bottle of Six Grapes Port up there. The display from the slots machine was from the old Sands Hotel in Atlantic City, which is no longer there. Amidst the shot glasses you can also see my autographed pic of Jackie Gleason. I bought it off of a dealer many years ago, so I don't know if it is real. But I love The Honeymooners, so I had to have it.
A few of the autographed photos... Harry Kalas, Mike Schmidt (signed form letter), Ryan Howard, Eric Gregg (the one arguing with Tommy Lasorda), Jeremiah Trotter, and Jack Clark (I was a big fan of his as a kid for some reason). My pic with BB King is in the shot too below the BB King poster. To the right, 20 of my best autographed sports cards in a display.
The Moses Malone autographed jersey is self-explanatory. The blue chair was from Veterans Stadium, so was the 72 sign. The red piece of wood with the 2 on it is part of a seatback from the Boston Garden. Various bobbleheads, autographed baseballs, game used and autographed bats are there as well. The game used bats are from Steve Jeltz of the Phillies and Mike Scott of the Astros. Weird combo, I know. They were both given to me. The Charlie Manuel autographed bat got the protective tube after he won the series.
Oh by the way... the black cord that you see goes to the TV. I am not showing the TV. No, I haven't gotten the good TV for the lair yet. That causes me some shame.
These are my pride and joy. The framed World Series shirt is the one my uncle grabbed for me from the press box the night the Phillies clinched. The two seatbacks above are from Veterans Stadium as well. These are the really old school seatbacks from before 1994, before they changed all the seats to blue. The orange one is autographed by over 20 Phillies. The brown one has over 20 Eagles autographs.
Autographed basketballs are on the top, both Celtics and Sixers are represented. Autographed Eagles memorabilia in the center. And the Phils are represented on the bottom. The Phillies hat with the blue brim and star is game used by Jon Lieber. Not that I was a big fan of Lieber's, but the hat was one of the cheaper game used ones I could grab at the Phillies Holiday Sale. I think it was $25. 
I own a guitar. I can't really play it much. I took a few lessons. It isn't signed by anyone... yet.
That oughta hold you for a while.

You can see your shame TV in the first man lair pic.
This is a big fish.
Impressive, Rev.
At the very least, you need to buy a Vizio for the man lair.
19" Vizio is 200 bones. Not necessarily worth it, depending on frequency of use.
I have those curtain rods in the guest bedroom pic.
"This is a big fish."
Ridiculous.
What about corked bats?
If you're too mad busy to read it, his basic conclusion is, "any enhancement in performance would be almost negligible."
Steroids
Who cares? MY 2 favorite players of all time were users, and I'm okay with it. Bagwell & McGwire.
Rev has a nice place. I'm not surprised.
Bed time
I just wanted to provide more evidence for Keith to ignore.
Irregardless if there's an advantage or not, it's against MLB rules.
And it's a modification of standard equipment, which is intent to cheat.
I concede those points. I said it had no real benefits and keith got all as.-y.
You can make the argument that he didn't cheat with the steroids because they weren't banned by the MLB at the time, but he used a corked bat and corked bats are illegal.
"keith got all as.-y"
Ah, got it.
I'm not really talking about sosa.
This is all about whether or not corked bats have any actual advantages. And they don't.
Irregardless, he should go into the hall. If they don't vote him in on the first ballot, fine, they're making a point, but not voting him in at some point would be retarded.
"This is all about whether or not corked bats have any actual advantages. And they don't."
I used EP's mat. I still think using a corked bat looks shady because you're modifying equipment, and there's a rule against that.
Vizio 42" LCD for $799.99 at Costco.
"I still think using a corked bat looks shady because you're modifying equipment, and there's a rule against that."
Oh, no doubt. It's illegal and if a person does it, they should be punished.
There's just no real benefit, so you have to be pretty stupid to use it, especially when certain punishment will follow.
"Irregardless, he should go into the hall. If they don't vote him in on the first ballot, fine, they're making a point, but not voting him in at some point would be retarded."
I think once people like Bob Ryan and Bill Plaschke dies, most of that era's players will get in. May even take longer than that. But I think it happens eventually.
"There's just no real benefit, so you have to be pretty stupid to use it, especially when certain punishment will follow."
Word, I think it's more of a mental thing, they think they have an advantage when they use it. Steroids do give you an advantage, but it is also the same thing. Baz Rutten has talked about it as a mental problem, guys that don't think they're good enough take steroids to give themselves an advantage. It will give you strength, but it doesn't give you timing and technic.
"I concede those points. I said it had no real benefits and keith got all as.-y."
That's my gig
duh
I got the powerball number right on 1 line. So I won $3. I bought 3 lines so I broke even
My keeper league team went 0-30 hitting tonight
I remember this guy
There is a God
As far as the cork issue, if adding cork didn't give you some kind of competitive advantage, then MLB wouldn't have made it illegal. I'm not saying it's like using an aluminum bat, but at some point someone had to have proof that it provided an advantage or noone would have tried it
Your logic is faulty.
That's pretty damn cool, rev.
How long have you been collecting?
Very nice place rev. I'm neither shocked nor surprised though.
Although including Ed McMahon on a "Legends" wall is a bit sketchy...
man lair is fresh to death, nice work
rev, you need a bigger bed bro
lot's of color, i like how you americanized your woman, i was expecting some indian flair but see none, not that there is anything wrong with indian flair of course
damn, you really need a bigger bed, no way you fit on that shit with another person
obviously your man lair is missing a tv, is there a fridge behind the bar?
sell china and china closet, buy new tv
done and done
nice tie in the harry kalas pic
very loud
or whoever that is top right on the wall where bb king and you on the bottom
grill in the front w/patio?
never saw that before
that block must have kick ass block parties
WTH is up with your profile pic today EP? Is that a cartoon Mexican jumping bean in a sombrero at the Great Wall??
"Is that a cartoon Mexican jumping bean in a sombrero at the Great Wall??"
yes, yes it is. Except he's jumping OVER the wall
this was the pic i made after me and spiff made the laker bet, wanted to showcase my artwork since i lost the bet
front page of daily news reminded me of rev today
that missing baby story
rev ate a baby?
the baby pic looks like his baby pic
Irregardless, he should go into the hall.
I have no problem with the steroid guys not making it in the hall of fame, but I think at some point the baseball writers need to sit down with MLB and whoever and at least have some dialogue on the issue like that talked about on Mike and Mike.
Even if those steroid users don't make it in the hall, their numbers and records still stand...they are not erased like college football wins.
nice work rev!
we need to shoot these fuckers out of the sky
JEEBUS!
peta is a bunch of ratards
How can PETA not see that by taking such idiotic positions they're just hurting their credibility when it comes to legitimate animal abuse issues?
because PETA leaders are basically politicians so they are ra-tards.
I might have to buy a car today. Not happy.
why might you have to?
My POS was on the verge of overheating this morning, and I can't be putting any more money into that thing.
re: steroids guys getting into the hall
my take is that if the guy was probably a HoFer before he took the roids then great put him in...if he had an appreciably better game because of the roids then don't
examples: Bonds HoF, Sosa no.
of course that assumes that bonds wasn't taking roids before he got huge
"examples: Bonds HoF, Sosa no."
Someone's looking to bait freak I see.
of course that assumes that bonds wasn't taking roids before he got huge
True, and we never know when they started, we just know when they got caught. Then, they only admit to taking them when they get caught and for just that one time or one year. Then they get caught lying...so really we never know.
I think the voting process will work it out, and as time goes on some of these guys will start getting in the hall.
"re: steroids guys getting into the hall"
put them all in, it's the era
i still have no clue how taking steroids makes you see a baseball better, yes it makes you stronger i get that but you still have to recognize the pitch and put a good swing on it
hitting a baseball is one of the hardest thing to do in all sports, might be the toughest period
put them all in, it's the era
why even have a voting process then? Just make a minimum standards of stats and if they get it great, if not oh well.
i still have no clue how taking steroids makes you see a baseball better, yes it makes you stronger i get that but you still have to recognize the pitch and put a good swing on it
True...but suddenly pop fly outs are home runs. Suddenly and average player with some power is hitting 60 home runs a year 3 years in a row.
"why even have a voting process then? Just make a minimum standards of stats and if they get it great, if not oh well."
good idea.
sign it, seal it, deliver it. fire all the fucking idiot writers and talking heads who get to vote.
Sosa is a perfect case though...
no effing way he hits 600 HR without muscle enhancements.
Bonds probably would have gotten to 500
I think the issue on these guys getting in the hall is not just about the steroid use. Its also the way they lie about it, get caught, and lie again. These players don't realize that if they are honest they will be forgiven a lot easier. Its a character issue just as much as it is a cheating issue.
Bonds probably would have gotten to 500
probably, but when did he start? you never know...he could have started years ago, in HS like Aroid
yeah, bigger, faster, stronger always helps.
average players turn good.
good players turn great.
PETA
Newkirk is best known for the issue awareness campaigns she organizes on behalf of PETA, in order to promote animal rights and veganism. In her will, for example, she has directed that her skin be turned into wallets, her feet into umbrella stands, and her flesh into "Newkirk Nuggets," then grilled on a barbecue. "We are complete press sluts," she told The New Yorker. "It is our obligation."
the woman is bat shit crazy.
keith's keeper league team is hitting .054 this week
so bets on who the first roid abuser in the hall is?
keith's keeper league team is hitting .054 this week
they need steroids
If Bonds was doing this he probably could have hit 500.
clap clap clapclapclap..TULO
"why even have a voting process then?"
keep the voting process, what i'm saying is don't punish a guy cuz he was alledgedly taking steroids
sosa is a weird case, like blue said
but mcgwire was more than capable of hitting the hr's he hit and remember andro was legal when he was taking it
we'll never know jug, when they used, when they stopped etc.
under this premise none should get elected then
it's just going to look funny in 20 years that all these guys at the top of the record books aren't in the HOF.
imagine if emmitt smith didn't get in the HOF because people thought he cheated.
but mcgwire was more than capable of hitting the hr's he hit and remember andro was legal when he was taking it
you think that is all he took? "I'm not here to talk about the past." That is what investigations are all about...the past. Its also a character issue, and I have no problem if the voters don't vote these guys in. They should consider character issues on these guys for the hall.
under this premise none should get elected then
I don't think it will be an all or none type thing with the voters. McGwire is the first one to go up for the hall, but that sucks for him because this is fresh on everyone's mind. Over time these guys will start getting in I think.
mcgwire is first up for the hall
and bonds was the first to be accused of using.
sosa/manny/arod...none of them are being scrutinized or hated on like Bonds was, yet every single one of them has a positive test, they can't talk their way out of it.
and then there's Bret Boone
arod might be hated like bonds. Aroid is lucky because he still has several more years to play, then 5 years after retirement before he is up for the hall. my guess is he goes in first ballot...
it'll be interesting you
and brady anderson
this is by far the worst june weather we ever had, it's rained like 16 out of 19 days and will be cloudly and/or rainy until Tuesday at least
this is by far the worst june weather we ever had, it's rained like 16 out of 19 days and will be cloudly and/or rainy until Tuesday at least
go get a starbucks and pretend you are in Seattle
"you think that is all he took?"
no clue, but i know if you were on andro and working out like a maniac you got really fucking big
bethpage will play wet
fyi
just like beth
fyi
obviously Bonds would have been better of by saying
"you're godman right i did"
"we live in a world with drugs...and those drugs have to be taken by men with bats. Whose gonna do it? You? You, peter gammons? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom.
you have the luxury of not knowing what i know, that taking steroids, while tragic, probably saved lives."
"we use words like Honor, code, loyalty, creampie. and to you those are a punchline to your joke, but we live them everyday."
i hate it when people say re-forecast
it's just a forecast, you can adjust your forecast, but you don't reforecast
reforecast isn't even a fucking word
end temrant
nice work blue
steve and every other faggot obama supporter, read the part where bush says he will not criticize his successor
Is tem owed royalties when someone goes off on a temrant?
steve and every other faggot obama supporter, read the part where bush says he will not criticize his successor
what is funny is that fags are not happy with obama right now.
what's funny is how obama is having a fucking infomercial on abc about health care
and i know one thing, that shit is going to cost me more money
like i said yesterday, no idea health care was an issue
medicare is broken? wft is going on i see trillions being thrown around like skittles
"and i know one thing, that shit is going to cost me more money"
IN YOU FACE!
i know healthcare is broken
i don't know how to fix it
i say leave it alone
that's the way it is.
obamer is gonna turn doctors into teachers, make them government employees and underpay them and nobody will want to be a doctor
"like i said yesterday, no idea health care was an issue"
Cost is out of control. The middle class is disappearing.
obamer is gonna turn doctors into teachers, make them government employees and underpay them and nobody will want to be a doctor
yeah, wouldn't be good. Ever been to a VA hospital? all hospitals would be like that.
jesus christ, obama is clueless
third wourld country doctorss
great
Most expensive isn't synonymous with best.
Most expensive isn't synonymous with best.
True, but do you think letting the government run it would be the better? Combine the DMV and the hosp and that is what you'll have.
"Bonds probably would have gotten to 500"
bonds might have been able to keep stealing bases had he not juiced up.
has it ever been proven that he juiced up or just HDH? or neither?
"Most expensive isn't synonymous with best."
greed breeds the best doctors
"Is tem owed royalties when someone goes off on a temrant?"
yes, but nobody ever pays them.
Headline: Halladay, Downs to DL
steve is on the dl?
"greed breeds the best doctors"
That's not true
"obamer is gonna turn doctors into teachers, make them government employees and underpay them and nobody will want to be a doctor"
are you reading a different health care plan than i've read? Link?
it's not going to change Drs. It's going to provide a goverment health insurance option for people. Drs won't change, hospitals won't change, it's creating competition for the existing insurance companies.
be carefull with your words Blue, you know how skitish the LOV 3 are.
"True, but do you think letting the government run it would be the better? Combine the DMV and the hosp and that is what you'll have."
I don't really care. Just give me my drugs.
"Combine the DMV and the hosp and that is what you'll have."
negative. the people that choose the goverment plan or going to get the same health care. they will just be paying for it using a different insurance company.
"yes, but nobody ever pays them"
I think I may know a lawyer or 2 if you want to sue.
"Headline: Halladay, Downs to DL
steve is on the dl?"
thought the exact same thing when i read it.
then i thought it mean Holladay had downs and had to go on the DL because of getting downs.
"I think I may know a lawyer or 2 if you want to sue."
it'd be like a reverse class action suit. 1 person suing a whole bunch of people.
there is a 0% chance the health care plan works out like it is presented.
government fucks everything up. they never do anything how they say they are going to do it.
their execution sucks...and their plans suck.
"has it ever been proven that he juiced up or just HDH? or neither?"
nope, unlike the others, he has no positive tests
health care plan = Coach drawing up a triple reverse hook and ladder play on the sideline.
execution of the health care plan will be the QB getting sacked and fumbling before he even takes 2 steps. The D will pick the ball up for a scoop and score.
and at the end of the day trillions will be spent, we'll be living in tents and a small child will stub his toe.
"nope, unlike the others, he has no positive tests"
that's what i thought.
so he just 100 pushuped his way to HRs.
thanks for clearing that up tem
Anyone see that video of that bitch senator who told a Brigadier General to call her "Senator" because its a title she worked long and hard for, after her called her "Ma'am"?
saw it on TV, can't find the link
Steve,
if you think that your government healthcare plan will be accepted by all doctors you're kidding yourself.
So shitty doctors who are willing to take shitty payments will be the only ones who participate.
in the end doctors make money because insurance companies are willing to pay them big amounts because the insurance companies collect large fees
it's trickledown....if you lower fees, companies will pay less...resulting in doctors becoming lawyers or not choosing to accept the lower cost insurance
remember there isn't a requirement for any doctor to accept insurance payments, and a lot do not accept medicare/medicaid because they don't get shit from the government for their services.

tem hates america
busted
at least tem believes in something and sticks to it
gubment sucks, end of story
endrevcomment
now we are the LOV 4
welcome aboard blue!
ask a canadian if they think their healthcare is top notch
or a russian
both have similar plans
"now we are the LOV 4"
i speak troofs
sometimes i agree with obamer, sometimes i do not...on healthcare i disagree.
in the end tem is correct, all politicians are people who sucked at their real jobs
if they ever had "real" jobs
i see your point blue. but the HC plan isn't mandatory. people don't have to choose it. they can stick with whatever they have currently.
but for the millions of people that can't afford HC it'll be a cheaper option.
the only way it would/could effect the people with HC is if they pass a law requiring Drs too accept the goverment plan. (it's being debated i think)
if that is the case, then i'm with ya 100%.
WFT
"gubment sucks, end of story"

HUNGRY
The pilot of a Continental Airlines jetliner died midflight on Thursday morning as the plane, carrying 247 passengers, was en route from Brussels to Newark, N.J., the authorities said. Two first officers were operating the plane, a Boeing 777. The flight, Flight 61, was expected to land at Newark Liberty International Airport at noon.
keeper trade complete
mike napoli to EP

a plane is heading to NYC?!?!?!?
i still find the humor void in the nyc/plane jokes

keeper trade complete
mike napoli to EP
mike lowell to SPIFF
everyone see the one me and freak completed last night?
yea, zeke vetoed that one out of principle, keef said you got took on talent, meiz doesnt think so
My friend just sent me this...
“I wish Google Maps had an "Avoid Ghetto" routing option.”
*meiz doesnt think you got took, didnt mention considering talent in his decision
"keef said you got took on talent"
isbns
i think otherwise, it's a keeper in case anyone forgot, i know have reynolds, who looks like a fucking star, forever and has 1b eligilibility and i need a SS desperately (even though tulo is charging now)
also i sold high on Cain, he's pitching above his head
i'm suspect on bartlett, hoping for the best
"keith's keeper league team is hitting .054 this week"
The 0 for 30 yesterday helped
The Phillies have put Raul Ibanez on the 15–day disabled list, detoxing.
anyone see Dunn's hr
fucking bomb yo
i love when a guy gets a hold of one and the of'ers dont even move

HDH is HDH
"i think otherwise, it's a keeper in case anyone forgot, i know have reynolds, who looks like a fucking star, forever and has 1b eligilibility and i need a SS desperately (even though tulo is charging now)"
I watch the Dbags a lot. Reynolds is not a star. He's Adam Dunn-lite. And you traded your only catcher. Cain >>>>>>>>>>> Chris Young. Just doesn't make any sense for you and makes a ton of sense for freak. IDGAF because I'm in last place, but I'm just saying that I think you're getting robbed.
Thanks to beth for using Tiger this week when she had this segment already locked up.
lock it up

apparently the inflatable co-pilot was able to take it in just fine

mark reynolds numbers disagree with you
mark reynolds strikes out....a lot....
"Thanks to beth for using Tiger this week when she had this segment already locked up."
You can worry about the segments, I'm focused on the overall title.
"mark reynolds strikes out....a lot...."
glad we dont get penalized for that and his ops is high for a KO guy, which is good
"mark reynolds numbers disagree with you"
You're right. He strikes out a lot more than Dunn
and if bartlett keeps up his numbers it's a steal for me
His BA will be under .250 by the end of the season
who cares about strikeouts
who cares?
we don't get minus points for ko's
maybe we should
i'm proposing a mid-season rule change
Trade just went through in the keeper.
If you have any objections, speak up.
I have 3 3b and 3 SS and got a big upgrade in pitcher and finally have a catcher.
I really like the trade.
These are freak's comments about the trade. Anytime you have one person trying to get the trade pushed through and then talks about how much they like the trade, they're probably making out like a bandit
"and if bartlett keeps up his numbers it's a steal for me"
AHIIK
Remember, you're talking about Jason Bartlett
like i said, every trade i make i'm a fool
i get it, i guess time will tell
catchers are an afterthought to me, the fact that i had one and was able to trade for reynolds was a good thing for me
You had a top 5 catcher
It wasn't like you traded Brian Schneider
charlie brown teacher talking
At least I'll have competition for the worse* record soon
Nice
Don't move to Florida, tem
"You had a top 5 catcher"
and i'm 4th place, so it realyl must have helped, now i'll produce more hr's
and i was 2nd to last in HR's, needed improvement
trades happen because someones has a hole to fill, it's not always about talent for talent
i needed a ss and hr potential
i think i accomplished that
Didn't you just pick up Tulo off of waivers?
Tulo is a savior
Trade Tulo to blue for Johan
