Haha, Nice Try, Fringe!
Oh Fringe, with your almost insultingly ridiculous pseudo-science nonsense, your Canal Street X-Files knock-off mysteries, and your constant chase scenes. I gave up on you a long time ago. But secretly I did not give up on you! Fringe, I wish I could quit you! (Brokeback Mountain reference, 2009. Killing it.) Your 9/11 twist ending season finale was one of the most insane things I have ever seen, so kahdooze to you.
But Fringe, it is the summertime! You should be at your beachside laboratory, testing out your BARBECUE DEPRIVATION TANKS, or whatever. With access to the multi-verse there are even more ways to enjoy the beautiful weather! When the show returns in the fall, people who want to know whether or not Leonard Nimoy will use his space-time machine to KILL AND/OR HIRE HITLER will watch. Besides, the nerds are already on your side! You don't need to put the bald "Observer" character in the stands at yesterday's All-Star Game.
Clearly, you did. But you didn't have to.
What, was the cow busy? (You have been treated with CortexiZING.)
(Thanks for the tip, Joseph.)

WTF? He was obviously in character but McCarver just let it go. Well done announcer, don't play into Fox's bullshit promotion. btw McCarver is a dick but credit where it's due. I've seen every episode of Fringe but mostly because I live in a country where I don't speak the language so my choices are limited. It's ok in a pinch.

how long have you been OUTSIDE AMERICA! You're always talking about it like it's torture. HOLY SHIT HAVE YOU BEEN ABDUCTED/!?!?

It's been about a year and I'm coming home in a couple weeks. I love it here in Czech but I miss soooooo many things about the good ol' US of A. Like Taco Bell and good TV. Yes I'm a cultural elitist.
Score = 0
HOLY hell that's intense. AT LEAST IF YOU'RE an elitist, you've PICKED THE RIGHT things to be ELITIST OVER.
That's RIGHT GUYS, I said IT. FUCK Europe's "HOLYTHANTHOU" TV programing and FAST FOOD SERVICES.
WHEN WE WANT SHIT IN TACOS, CZECH. WE WANT SOME GODAMNED SHIT IN SOME GODDAMNED TACOS!

this was actually yesterday, not last weekend. the other big story was how there was online betting for whether or not obama would make the first pitch over the plate going on.
Score = 0
I think you read comments too much gabe, that was quick.
Score = 1
Actually I emailed him, 'cause I was all on top of that, man. And all that betting was for nothing, by the way, because the brilliant producers for the game didn't even show where the pitch went. I need to know if my president can accurately throw a ball 60 feet!!!! I know he can be polite and friendly to idiots Tim McCarver and Joe Buck, though, which is more than I could ever make myself do.
Score = 1
yeah it was a big fail, but there are some images and first hand quotes that say it was gonna drop before the plate but albert moved up and snagged it before it hit the dirt, barely... so he kinda failed?
Score = 0
yeah BUT THE REAL fuckin question is not how good OF A PITCH he can throw, but DO YOU WANT to drink some BEERS with him? NO YOU WOULD NOT because he would be telling you ABOUT THINGS IN WASHINGTON and what he wants to change.
At least the LAST PRESIDENT had the decency to KNOW NOTHING. Those are THE QUALITIES you want in a beerDRINKING BUDDY.
Score = 3
To see Obama barely reach Pujols's glove go here. A different angle is at the :50 mark. Also, note that Pujols is sitting right on top of the plate. Even as the reporter is saying he threw "a perfect strike." As a die hard baseball fan (there are a few of us left), I can say authoritatively that this was not "a perfect strike." As my wife noted, "He kinda throws like a girl." Sorry to the girls who throw better than that. Sad, but true.
Score = 0
IT IS TRUE. I saw it. It was disheartening. GOOD THING John McCain never CHALLENGED him to a TOWN HALL MEETING/PITCHING CONTEST.

Haha...I resisted the urge...
Nice work posting the link to the guy who started the Ibanez controversy.
Score = 0
I hate that guy. Now he's sitting in his mom's basement blogging about W...
Score = 1
Whatever dude, the point was not political as much as a comparison of W throwing like an American and Obama throwing like a girl. I'm sure Obama'd school W at basketball but hey. Who really cares anyway?
Score = 1
Check the link, pc. Looks to me like JRod himself is commenting on his basement blogging techniques...Nice. As for me, I was behind JRod 100% on the Ibanez post. And this Bush pitch article from today was exactly what I was looking for. Consider me a fan.
Now that I've geeked out about baseball on a video blog, my life is complete (not really; there are several more bucket list items besides). Sorry, Gabe. Fringe is cool. Back to your regularly scheduled blog.
Score = -1
Well he got the 60 feet part nailed down, but he couldn't limp-wrist that extra 6 inches to reach home plate. He really "remoted the butt" on those last 6 inches.
Score = 3
Maybe that guy was just out to watch a ball game. I mean, anywhere he goes people must be rolling their eyes like, I can't believe Fringe hired this guy to be here, what a tool.
Score = 11
I thought he was Stan Sitwell.
Score = 8
i think they should use that as viral marketing for the movie!
Score = 1
UM NO. The real STAN SITWELL (please stand up? SEE I CAN HANG WITH YOU HIP YOUNGINS and your rappity RAP music TOO) wouldn't be caught DEAD at the All-star game WITHOUT HIS DRESS EYEBROWS!!!!!
C'MON!
Score = 9
Being a human being who does not watch Fringe, my first thoughts when the camera panned to this guy were "what a douche" and then "why isn't he remotely excited to be at the All-Star game?" and then back to "what a douche".
Score = 3
"Kahdooze" cracks me up every time.
Score = 2
i'm a HUGE Fringe fan but i got tired of the real world Observer stunts. there's no need to bring in your aunts and uncles to the show.
Score = 0
This was right on time to get me excited! just kidding. Later on (or earlier?) in the game there was a Fringe billboard right behind home plate just to remind us that this is what's going on here.
All I can hope is that next season there will be real-life tie-ins to every time the Observer is spotted off season. Like hopefully one filler episode will just be about all the characters going to a baseball game. popcorn! hot dogs! fun! Also it'll give me an excuse to write that Albert Pujols/Peter Bishop fanfic I've been dreaming about.
Score = 0
Oh, i>that's what that was ? When the camera panned by him I turned to my husband and asked "Why is Lex Luthor there?"
