Around the Horn (8/5)

[General]

It is heads. CRF...last words?

[CincyRedsFan30]

Umm...yeah...did someone's score above me change just to force a tie? Ratings Whore Stat Punk?

[General]

Are you hinting at a conspiracy? Hint to you: You gone!

We now take our final commercial break, and when we return, it's time for the showdown.

[Fishercat]

This is like a Red Stripe commercial. You know how PTI usually abuses the same company for three commercials a show? It's the same way here. My casino is still pretty barren. People are coming but are not spending, staying for the free pizza and alcohol. I need the bling bling in chips. I give each person 1,000 free chips and they are trying to cash out. You can bet on Ken Griffey's hamstring, come on people!

Showdown time, where two men enter, one man wins, and the other dwells on his humiliating loss for the whole weekend.

First topic..a tale of two A's, one present, one past. Zito vs. Giambi, who had the better turnaround this season? Around the Horn to Fisher.

[Fishercat]

The Giambino. Zito, while getting a lot of crap, is one of the better comeback stories, but he has a lot going for him. Namely, he pitches in Oakland and his ERA is less than a run better. Giambi was essentially done, people were burying him and the Yankees looked for every loophole to cut him after that press conference. This resurgence is amazing as he can catch up to fastballs and hit them hard now. Giambi's carrying this team like Tino did.

[General]

Mofo?

[realmofotalk]

Zito gets my vote here. How do you explain going from a 11.57 ERA to a 3.65 ERA? He has pulled 8 wins a row. Zito was also given up by fans after he dazzled with his Cy Young year. His ERA declined from 2.75 in 2002 to 3.30 in 2003 to 4.48 in 2004. So people were ready for an ERA near or in the 5.00 area. He is huge reason for Oakland's surge in the standings. He won the AL pitcher of the month. Did Giambi win AL player of the month? No.

[General]

Actually, Giambi DID win Player of the Month.

Point to Fisher.

[General]

Now, we go to Hazzard county, Georgia for a good ol' bikini contest. The old Daisy, a smoking actress by the name of Sarah, or Jessica Simpson? How do you like your Daisy, Mofo?

[realmofotalk]

Oh come on, how do you go against Jessica Simpson? She is one of hottest babes in entertainment. She is the single reason why people are going to see this movie.

[General]

Waruv?

[Fishercat]

OK, Jessica Simpson isn't exactly the most intelligent chicken of the sea, but Mofo's right here. Christ, look at the rack, and she can actually sing somewhat well unlike her fraud sister. How old is the original DD (significant initials too) anyway. She's likely a fat chick now, and although fat chicks need loving, they gotta pay. Jessica Rabbit/Simpson is my choice as well, even if she did marry a boy band reject.
