Just goes to show you he has more class than the NY Post.

The preceding was the very definition of a left handed compliment.

But Craig…How could you overlook the New York press headline? It was “Cluck You!”

A friend of mine had a dog he named “Boner”. The obvious name for a chicken is “Pecker”.

If Pedro Soriano was in that club house things wouldn’t have ended so well for that bird.

Following Francisco’s injury, the chicken was offered a chance to be in the Mets bullpen. After all, he would get paid chicken feed.

I wouldn’t go that far, but I never did care much for that show. I like Seinfeld as a comic and think Jason Alexander is quite talented. But I didn’t get the appeal of it.

Better for the Mets to have called it Little Gob Bluth and done the Bluth Chicken Dance.

I’m thinking you gotta have a whole yard bird if you want a wishbone. You’d probably have a hard time finding one in a package of chicken pieces. They’re cut up all kinds of weird ways now days.

Happy for the chicken and happy to see Farm Sanctuary, which is a wonderful organization, getting some publicity.

Now you’re just being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian.

Want Polanco? He’s apparently a middle of the lineup contact hitter on this squad.

E-Z Baked Chicken

(1) Decapitate chicken. Wait for it to stop running around in circles like Tweeter waiting for a popup in short lett.

(2) Pluck chicken, like American League hitters working the Feesh boolpen.

(3) Season chicken with salt, pepper, herbs and crushed red pepper, like Slobbering Ozzie using “fookin’” as an article adjective.

(4) Bake chicken at 375 degrees F. for two and a half hours, like the depiction of a manager whose team has gone 5-14 in June sitting on the vote-of-confidence hot seat on sports tawrk raydeeo in Macondo.

(5) After eating, snatch the wishbone and pray for a trade for a middle-of-the-order contact hitting impact RBI guy.

This js genuine, non sarcastic honesty when I say this: Seinfeld was a terrible, awful, horrible show. Why it was allowed to stay on air so long is lost on me. But good Lord, it has to be one of the worst shows ever.

My parents sent my dog to Farm Sanctuary in Watkins Glen when I was a kid. I was never allowed to go visit him though.

Yeah yeah it’s a cute story but let’s face it. The best place for a chicken is on my dinner table.
