L.A. manager Grady Little had a bad feeling about Wednesday's game when he saw Harang and pitching coach Dick Pole walking in after Harang's warmup.
"I saw two big men," Little said. "Either could have shut us out tonight."
I have a vision of children in their pajamas in 1975 watching Saturday morning TV and snickering quietly while a parent says, "Allright, that's enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!".

That brightened up my evening.
-LTlabnerIf you can't build a winning team with that core a fire-sale isn't the solution. Selling the franchise, moving them to Nashville and converting GABP into a used car lot is.
I love when the announcer talks about how to play the game: You make moves on offense and defense, and then get into position to...BUST YOUR OPPONENT'S BALLS!!!!!
He's almost enjoying saying it, you can tell.
My ribs hurt now.
That almost seems like a comedy sketch, or something from Kentucky Fried Movie. I think what put it over the top for me was, at the end, the husband says "You're a BALLBUSTER" and the wife turns around and winks to the camera.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
That can't be real
Go Gators!
Agree. I also have no memory of the commercial or that game. If it was real I think some one would remember. Anyone?Originally Posted by Yachtzee
All my posts are my opinion - just like yours are. If I forget to state it and you're too dense to see the obvious, look here!
No, but it kind of reminded me of "Skittle Pool"
(If it is a made-for-youtube commercial...playing "The Entertainer" in the background was a nice touch, since "The Sting" came out in '73 and revived interest in Joplin's ragtime music)
The announcer's voice sounded vaguely familiar, like he used to do previews for old Disney movies
Graphics, clothing and haircuts were right out of the '70's, as well
Never heard of the "Mee-Co" toy company, though

Never overlook the obvious
I think it's real. From Mego.
