Vasco da Gama says, "We're your galaxy now, Dave."

Hal (2002: Space Odyssey): "Just what do you think you're doing, Dave?"

For a team called the Galaxy they sure are touchy about David Posh's intergalactic journeys. It finally hit them like a meteor. I guess. Let's listen to the GM of the Galaxy Alexei Lalas shall we?

"We (the Battlestar Galactica) have a vested interest in this player and we have spent a tremendous amount of money to retain his services."

Have they paid any attention at all? First comes the money, then the glamor, then Englandia, and then maybe - just maybe - the mothership -LA Galaxy.

Giovanni Caboto shrugs and exclaims, "A break here and there and it coulda been close..."

Texas Rangers 30 Baltimore Orioles 3.

What does one say after such a game? At least they played better than the Wilmington Quicksteps? No,man. Words can't describe such a score line. You need something deeper. Do you think they were handing out copies of "L'Étranger' by the existentialist writer Albert Camus? Or seeing as they were in Texas and "King of the Hill" may have been the choice of distraction?

Algonquin fur runner sitting in for Jacques Cartier who is battling scurvy observes, "Shut up and play baseball you weenies..."

Men are so girlie now. I was watching the Toronto Blue Jays and New York Yankees hammer each other earlier this month. It seems you can't throw at anybody anymore without the batter acting like a princess.

Mind you, MLB and the umps have not helped matters. The way they are handling this hearkens back to the instigator rule in hockey in the NHL. The one where if you drop your gloves first - without an expressed note from your mother - you get your butt kicked from the game.

Anyway, Alex Rodriguez may be a fearsome hitter but he ain't scaring people with those beautiful green eyes.

Alex (clawing in mid-air): "Hold me back, I swear I'll kill him!"

Jeter (rolls eyes and arms crossed): "Um, no one is holding you back, Gay-Rod."

Sir Francis Drake laments, "I told him to stick to cockfighting...Ain't no one give a damn 'bout no chicken."

I'm sure Michael "I'm really a good guy" Vick has a lotta regrets. I know I have many. Like the time I told my mother I was gay for fun. She still looks at me funny.
It's all for the better.

Pause.

Moving along, did anyone catch what Roy Jones Jr. had to say in defense of Vick? Let me paraphrase:
