Thanks for a great show, Josh! Maybe we'll be lucky enough to snag a BC Exclusive with our Featured Artist. Maybe. It doesn't hurt to try.

I did a segment this week?

I can see how the schlacking you took might render your memeory a bit fuzzy, Suss.

is schlacking an actual word?

hey, i thought you were in a meeting.

It's close to an actual word.

was that "Manifest Destiny" after the e.o. segment?

Probably. After the intro, it was all Guster in every bit and I did use "Manifest." Just can't remember where. I uploaded the show sometime around 1 am.

too band...just kinda cool to have that song fragment right after e.o talkin' about the growth of blogcritics.

If I did it, it was not intentional. I would love to say it was but...

Will DJ have a barbecue and not invite us?

Not to pile on the debate, but here are Pujols' and Ortiz's postseason statistics. Given the data, I'd like to have either one hitting third for my team. I'll leave off the names so as to not invite bias:

38 games | 143 at bats | .301 average | 8 HR | 32 RBI
37 games | 137 at bats | .336 average | 10 HR | 29 RBI

Not to pile on the debate, but I also think it is interesting the way teams are starting to treat Ortiz because of the way he is regarded as a clutch threat. Suss, you're just all wet on this one. Ortiz is the premier clutch hitter in the game today.

My own bar-b-q... that's an idea.

Because they walked him with a runner on second and two outs in the ninth?

Cause, you know, they would have done that to me.

That they would rather take on Manny Ramirez rather than take on David Ortiz speaks volumes, doesn't it?

You can't hit a curveball, that's why they want to pitch to you.

I've been known to crush an eephus in my day.

thanks Josh - I missed our talks and was great to have an ear to muse upon the next steps for Blogcritics, especially ahead of the mini-convention this week
