From the futon in the TWDQ library, let's try some liveblogging! The bottom of the 7th is starting, so here we go!
8:06: Hey! No "God Bless America"! Woody Guthrie would be proud.
8:08: Note to Bud: It's one thing when the bench guys are wearing stocking caps, but when the ballplayers on the field are wearing caps with Elmer Fudd flaps, you might think about pulling the season in a week or two.
8:18: The "Rocky" theme again? Please...
8:23: Hey! Does anyone know if Jim Carrey's got a new movie coming out?
8:33: Jayson Werth, at 2 for 2, hasn't had "a good night", Joe. It's been "a good game" or a "a couple of good nights".
8:34: William Penn was cursing the Phils? Huh?
8:37: Any pitcher could throw a hanging breaking ball. Man, the things you can learn from Tim McCarver...
8:41: What the hell is up with the twin bathtubs in Cialis commercials? "A jug of wine, a loaf of bread, a pair a of bathtubs facing the beach, and thou..."
8:44: Around the horn! Let's show each fielder briefly! Why?
8:45: Joe Buck reads the media guide's history page. Wow.
8:46: Lidge's slider is so good it occasionally gets past the catcher? Hell, I have a slider that can do THAT...
8:49: Could we get a tighter shot of Lidge? I can still see the top and bottom of his head...
8:52: Once again, DirtCam sheds no light on a play...
8:53: Take that, William Penn! Congrats, Phils!
8:57: Well, we're going to go find us a drinkable beer (as opposed to one with "drinkability").
Hey, let's wrap this with a special Celebratory Man Love Edition of This Week's Discussion Question:
When has beer ever been hard to drink?Please keep the discussion civil and feel free to wander off into "When's spring training?"
Discuss.

When's spring training?
As I always say, if I were Bert Blyleven (who always knows how many days it is until his birthday), I'd have a pretty good idea:
Feb. 14, 2009
• First date injured players, pitchers and catchers may report to Spring Training.
Feb. 17, 2009
• First date all players may report to Spring Training
Feb. 22, 2009
Mandatory Spring Training reporting date for all players.
