• So Moss is just kind of done, eh? Killing my fantasy team all season. #
• By the way, I look like a genius for starting Mike Thomas. Less of a genius for starting Randy Moss. #
• Finally, a day where my fantasy team might go off. Mike Thomas already. Kyle Orton, S-Jax, and Bradshaw going at it now. #
• I hate you Tom Coughlin. Put Bradshaw back in. Stop letting Jacobs vulture my TDs. #
• 40 point fantasy lead heading into tomorrow, with my opponent having McCoy and Jackson (projected for 30 pts). I'll have to sweat it out. #

Homer Simpson as Jamie Moyer  

I just finished watching the latest episode of The Simpsons. Five episodes into the 22nd season (that's right, the 22nd season), and it felt like an episode that wouldn't have been out of place during the prime years of the show.

Some highlights:

• The running 7 of clubs joke
• The nice emotional beats of the Homer/Maggie and Marge/Lisa stories
• Marge's exasperated "Not a good time" as Maggie waddles in

It wasn't an amazing episode, but just a very good one. The show, like Jamie Moyer, is mostly getting by on guile these days, mixing in average to slightly below average episodes that are just good enough to be better than your average episode of the craptastic Family Guy.

But every once in a while, there's a gem like this one, from May 7th: CG, 2 H, 0 ER, 5K, 0BB, 105 pitches, a game score of 88.

Jamie Moyer, in his 24th season, threw one of the top 15 games in the NL. Tonight's Simpsons felt kinda like that. A weird throwback to a better time.

(Or, it's completely possible that this was a Dice-K game, where I'm just happy that it got out of the 6th inning, only giving up 3 runs on 5BB and 2K.)

I ate this  

"The King" from Boston Burger Company.

That's a burger with bacon, peanut butter, and fried bananas. And it was pretty tasty.

• While my arteries won't be happy about it, just had a Spike's Patriot Dog to start the game. Apparently it was not good luck. #
• Let me know when Brady shows up to the Pats game. #
• All of Brady's passes have been slightly off, and he's got a lot more wobble to this throws today. Also, Matt Light: still a horrible LT. #

• I'd really like to get iOS 4.2 for my iPad soon. I could *almost* get all of my work done on it. #
• Vegas took the line "@TrueHoop will dump on evil Garnett" off the board. It was a mortal lock. #
• Always get goosebumps when the Hokies come out to Enter Sandman. Let's Go Hokies! #

• @sportsguy33 I'm fairly certain nearly every player drops worse stuff than "cancer patient" every game, i.e the pejorative for homosexual in reply to sportsguy33 #

• @molstherunner Thanks Molly -- you rock. in reply to molstherunner #
• I'll get my political tweets out of the way early, since my team is going to take a drubbing today. #
• First, what has that guy we elected President done for the past two years? http://whatthefuckhasobamadonesofar.com/ #
• My Massachusetts ballot is like Fred Flintstone's pet dinosaur: D-No. #
• I'm blaming you for the next 2 years of crap if you don't agree with me. #
• Remember to go vote today, unless you're stupid and like the Tea Party. If that's the case, remember that Election Day is Tuesday, Nov 9. #
• Early election results: the midwest and south are full of nutjobs. #

• Basketball helps you realize that you're really just not in shape. Going to eat better and drink a lot more water this week. METABOMOLISM! #
• (Before you assume I can't spell: http://www.exampleproblems.com/wiki/index.php/List_of_neologisms_on_The_Simpsons#Metabomolism) #
• I need Indy to win tonight, but the total to be less than 51 points. C'mon under! #
• Moss getting waived might save my fantasy season. If he ends up on Denver, SD, or back on the Pats (with a chip on his shoulder ...) #
• @wintermatt @fraggle22 The CFL is amazing. in reply to wintermatt #

• I hate that I am rooting for USC. #
• Got pulled over for the first time in a long time tonight. Took a U-turn after saying "I'll take a u-turn here -- there's no cops, right?" #
• The cop was great. Looked in, said "who are you supposed to be?" I replied "Dustin Pedroia." He said, "ok." That was it. The power of Pedey. #
• This may not be my year in fantasy football. I'm going to need to give my team a pep talk. #
• Huge stand by the Pats. Now let's see if they can execute in this last minute and get another 3 points. #
• Nope, I guess we're going to just try not to fumble it into the end zone. #
• 5:30 -- no trick or treaters. #
• Remember back when Tom Brady was really good? #
