They couldn't do anything with John Maine, even though Maine didn't have it tonight. Myers was worse than the numbers will show. Madson... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002242 I am not naive enough to assume that the Phillies' victory in tonight's game is indicative of anything more than the Mets' shaky bullpen. Blanton was awful, Eaton-like... pretty much what I expected, to tell the truth. The bats were... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002241 We found out today that someone we know passed away this weekend. Too young. And it was that damn disease again. Please: Friends of Linden Animal Shelter, in memory of Deborah Lanning. That would be nice. And if you want... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002240 I could sit here and write something, or I could go back and take another nap, which I've been doing all day when I haven't been working. Nap wins. Pardon me.... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002239 A coupla things from the living-room sofa on a lazy Saturday: 1. I take no joy in Schadenfreude. I'm being sincere when I say that I try not to hold grudges. Forgive but don't forget, that's kind of the rule... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002238 I wasn't aware that this was posted, but Patterico had it, and, well, it's not every day that a major TV show does a segment literally up the street from my house, so here's "The Colbert Report" on the Trump... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002237 The All Access newsletter returns after a week's hiatus, and I'm irritated. Again: Tell me why I should listen to your show. I'm speaking as a listener here. I don't want you to answer me. I want you to ask... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002236 In today's What's Left Of The Los Angeles Times, Steve Lopez' column is headlined "Why your 50 cents for The Times is the best bargain in the world." Okay, I'm game, but I've been wondering why I'm paying for a... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002235 The NAB Radio Show isn't until September, but it was time to book the travel today, so I did that, and I checked out the agenda while I was at it. Oy. There's a lot of double-dipping going on this... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002234 I didn't watch the Home Run Derby. I was working. But, to be honest with you, it didn't matter. I actually attended a Home Run Derby (in Atlanta several years back), and it was okay, but these days, it's hard... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002233 OK, so, how was Ricky Gervais last night in Hollywood? Very funny, actually. Un-P.C. humor covering everything from autism to sharks, Nazis, AIDS, and obesity, all in Gervais' basic oblivious David Brent bluster. I laughed a lot. You'll be able... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002232 Aybody reading today? No? Good, because I'm busy. Heading up to the Kodak Theatre for the Ricky Gervais show. Then it'll be partying all night as... nah, probably sleep. Then more work. Maybe a review of the show tomorrow. Talk... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002231 The week off came pretty much to its conclusion this evening, but I ended up working part of the day, victim to the sad fact that a lot of needy folks in talk radio do not take "I'm on vacation"... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002230 With the week off rapidly dwindling to a precious few days, I'm sitting on the sofa watching movies. This passes as "trying to relax." I'm way beyond relaxation, I'm afraid. I did sleep a little more than usual today, in... http://www.pmsimon.com/archives/2008_07.html#002229 Oh, yeah, in my Semi-Leisure Week I almost forgot to post pictures of my Highly Patriotic 4th of July Celebration, this year including a visit to the Palos Verdes Estates Independence Day event at which we heard Stan Lee tell...
