  1. Did anyone pick up the keyword of the day? I saw the last 1
    1/2 hours of the replayed race but I didn't hear them
    mention the keyword once.

    I nominate TM to keep us posted on the KOD, Tyler crash
    updates and whoever that announcer is who keeps saying
    things about whatever it was someone was keeping track of
    (oh yeah -- baseball).

    Mentioning baseball... they had some big ceremony for Bonds
    being the most walked batter in the history of the game. How
    fitting -- an award for a guy doing nothing more than anyone
    else in one of the dullest sports in the world.

    When Ricky Henderson got the record for stealing bases, the
    commentary went "...only in Oakland would a guy get a
    standing ovation for stealing something..."

    I believe the less politically correct comment was:

    "...only in Oakland would a black man get a standing ovation
    for stealing something..."

    I always wondered if that was an actual on-air comment by
    some guy who'd vanish faster than Jimmy the Greek or just
    urban legend. I wasn't following BB much at the time.

    I think you're just mad because I decreased your chances
    of winning.

    Look at it this way, the more people that enter, the more
    people OLN figures are watching, the more cycling they'll
    put on TV, the more cycling we'll all get to watch. You see
    Jim, I did it for you.

    In fact, if you'd be kind enough to keep us posted on how my
    Cofidis buddy Peter Farazijn is doing, I'd appreciate it,
    TM. You remember, Farazijn is the 35 year old who hasn't
    raced in a TdF for several years and initially ignored his
    cell phone only to get called away from his brewski two
    hours before the prologue to replace Matt White. TM Tip:
    Farazijn has jumped from 172nd to 85th position in the GC
    and is only 1' 15" back.

    That is not right. Ruch Limbaugh gets fired for saying [censored]
    like that.

    What is that old (from the 70s) book where an older never-been-on-
    top team captain gets the call on the final day to
    replace a rider and ends up winning the race? "The Yellow
    Jersey" by "?"?

    I got your post about Farazijn, got busy and now this server
    doesn't have
    it. Go figure.

    I'm with you in Farazijn's corner. I have to point out,
    however, that I would be surprised if a Belgian missed the
    split on the cobbles ( I know, but Verbrugghe is the
    exception that proves the rule). I am afraid that the rest
    of the course may not suit him as well, but getting to Paris
    will be a victory in and of itself for him.

    That's my thought. I'd just like to see him finish.
