Reading this sort of gives me the creeps...

http://www.philly.com/mld/dailynews/2004/03/23/sports/8253634.htm

While negotiating his contract this winter, Phillies Hall of Fame
broadcaster Harry Kalas revealed that he no longer felt comfortable working
in the same booth with longtime partner Chris Wheeler.

In the April issue of Philadelphia magazine, which hits newsstands later
this week, the root of that discomfort is explored as the lead item in a
package about famous local feuds.

Quoting both Kalas' wife, Eileen, and anonymous sources, the magazine
reports:

* That only a few months before he died late in the 1997 season, Phillies
icon Rich Ashburn had come to believe that Wheeler was trying to undermine
him to new club president Dave Montgomery and warned Kalas that Wheeler no
longer could be trusted.

* That Wheeler used to field calls on the road from women who were trying to
meet Kalas. After the broadcaster confessed his infidelities to his wife in
1998, Eileen Kalas said, "The party was over and Chris didn't like that."

* That broadcaster Scott Graham last year told Wheeler he'd "punch him out"
if he didn't stop bad-mouthing Kalas.

The Phillies' game yesterday against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays in St.
Petersburg was not aired on radio or TV. When reached yesterday, Wheeler and
Kalas had no comment.

Wow! someone call Hbo and lets get these guys on the Sopranos! The show has
been a little weak this season and this should make thing hot!
We would have to fix the last names though on these guys or give them cool
nick names. Let's see like Little Chrissie squealer (Wheeler) and Harry
"call me" Kalas, and Scotty " the bruiser" Graham.
What do you think?

I think I love you
So what am I so afraid of?
I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
A love there is no cure for
I think I love you
Isn't that what life is made of?
Though it worries me to say
I've never felt this way

Susan Dey was pinned up all over my wall long before I knew what jacking-off

I was a Marcia Brady fan, but I never had her pinups.

Back off Billy. I think she's single. Not your type.
