So the Rangers didn’t choke after all which puts me 3 of 4 on my brackets and should be a relief to my mom Emily who is a great Yankees fan because in my opinion the Rays matched up somewhat better against the Pinstriped Playoff Machine.
On the other hand, no Baseball tonight. Starting Friday Junior League with the funny rules will be on TBS while real Baseball will wait until Saturday night and appear on Faux (sigh).
This is too bad since all you have is your usual broadcast premiers and-
- Bravo– New Top Chef
- Discovery– A night of Mythbusters premiers including crossover episodes with Storm Chasers (Season Premier)
- ESPN– College Throwball, Central Florida at Marshall
- Food– Repeat of this week’s Next
- FX– Baby Mama (again), Terriers (premier)
- History– Goes Medieval
- Lifetime– Swimfan x 2
- Oxygen– The Wedding Planner x 2
- Turner Classic– The General (shhh, Buster Keaton), Smiles of a Summer Night (a comedy about mate swapping from, believe it or not, Ingmar)
- Toon– Regular Show, MAD (this week’s repeats)
- Travel– Man v. Food marathon (thank goodness)
- USA– NCIS marathon
- Vs.– Islanders @ Caps (go Islanders!)
Later-
- AMC– Rubicon (this week’s), The Man in the Iron Mask (not terrible for a DiCaprio movie)

- Turner Classic– Something Wild (rape and nudity!), He Ran All the Way (Communist John Garfield’s last film, also Shelly Winters)
- USA– Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End
Dave hosts Hilary Swank, Mike & Mike. Jon has Condoleezza Rice (ugh), Stephen Austan Goolsbee (ugh). No Alton.
Boondocks– The Itis.
Cuttlefish. Eh? Let us not, dear friends, forget our dear friends the cuttlefish… flipping glorious little sausages. Pen them up together, and they will devour each other without a second thought… Human nature, in’it? Ooor… fish nature… So yes… we could hold up here, well-provisioned and well-armed, and half of us would be dead within the month! Which seems grim to me any way you slice it! Or… ahh… as my learned colleague so naively suggests, we can release Calypso, and we can pray that she will be merciful… I rather doubt it. Can we, in fact, pretend that she is anything other than a woman scorned, like which fury Hell hath no? We cannot. Res ipsa loquitur, tabula in naufragio, we are left with but one option. I agree with, and I cannot believe the words are coming out of me mouth… Captain Swann. We must fight.
