OK. I had a few Mia Hamm jokes that seemed to go un-noticed in the heat of battle. I really thought they were good, so at the risk of belaboring jokes (which is the comedy mistake), I will reprise them here:

Hamm, the other white meat.

Nomar should convert to Judaism, and stop eating Hamm.

and, Converting to Judaism? Nomar Hamm.

My "No Goat Zone" (a play on "no gloat zone") went without comment too. This is a demanding audience!

Here's a line another freeper used a few days ago. This freeper, whose name escapes me at the moment, suggested that when the Yankees won this series, they should play "Mama, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Cowboys" instead of "New York, New York"!

I know how you feel. I came up with what I thought was a great Chicago joke that was PERFECT for the game situation. Unfortunately because the Cubs lost, my joke never got a single response. The situation was that the Cubs were trailing by 4, when Troy O'Leary hit a home run off of Marlins pitcher Josh Beckett. My joke was "Maybe Mr. O'Leary's (Holy) Cow has just kicked over the Beckett that will start the Great Chicago Offensive Fire of 2003!"

I HATE it when I work so hard on a joke and nobody notices. But I guess the Cubs subsequent loss because the focus of the rest of the thread. Oh well.
