Fly-On-The-Wall: Sox-Yanks Gamer XIV

Nick and ag had a chat today, mourning the impending demise of the Yankees' season.

ag: baseball has me down.  I've got a moon shot draw from the hearts deck of sociopathic tendencies.

Nick: kris kristoferrson would play me in the movie of my life

ag: I guess that leaves me with Nick Nolte

Nick: Nick Nolte versus Kris in the battle of grizzled tell-it-like-it-is men.  for the Lee Marvin award

Nick: Bad song, and you can't even dance to it.

ag: That's brutal

Nick: yep.  Can't win, so take it out on the guy with the full bladder.  you always know when an empire is crumbling by the stupidity of its foot soldiers.

ag: Onward Bronxian soldiers.  Except General Joe ran into Genghis Maddon and Tito The Great, and our little Napoleons fight their battle of hold-your-water-you-can't-go-to-the-loo.

Lineups follow, comment away...
