You wanna play hard ball Schwartz? Fine. You got me on that low and away slider when I was looking for that high cut fastball. Because of your constant pilfering of this blogs ideas with no posted comments at least saying, "Hey California's great, peace, Schwartz," I'm taking a hiatus from the Hangover. For the record your next episode is bound to blow.
"I'm 17, you're 14."
Seth tokes up, just to show us that you have the moxie to make him do it.
I'm out.

The OC Friday Morning Hangover: The Kaitlyn Cooper'pisode
Great, now they're digging for ways to keep Johnny around. Terrific. As I've stated before, I've somehow morphed into more of an OC beat writer than posting about sports. Deal with it. It's better than posting stupid survey's on myspace all day long Filzen. But first I'd like to congratulate JG on his last post, for other reason than it was the 100th post in Brew City Beat history. It hasn't always been easy, but it feels good to be back on top. I'll save you any cheesy hangover references because I'm pretty sure that's what Saturday morning will be best served by this week. So yeah, Kaitlyn Cooper's back and Dr. Roberts has genital warts. Outstanding.
After teasing everyone before last weeks episode that Kaitlyn was returning, Schwartz, whom is reading this over a cup of coffee at the current time, decided to sandbag and hold off on the impending doom that is mini-Cooper until last night. She's a crook, a liar, a flirt and more, so basically she and The OC go together like Matkon and the 2K6 Salary Spreadsheet. Kaitlyn is alledegly 14, claims to be 16 and is most likely being cast by a 23 year old. And the kicker is she has a thing for Johnny Deadbeat. Was it just me or was that the oddest ending in OC history? I couldn't have been alone in wondering if the assumedably 18 year old Johnny was going to have a nude soak with the 14 year old Kaitlyn. Hot damn, that says OC don't it? But no dice, they rolled the credits.
I personally like bringing Kaitlyn back and so must the writers and directors because not a whole lot else happened besides Veronica Townsend and Dr. Roberts hitting it off only to have every main character plot against her to keep her away from Summer's pop. Hey JG...does Seth, Summer, Kirsten and Sandy scheming against the elder Townsend count as the official start of the JLA OC? Kirsten felt bad for setting up Veronica and the Dr. because Julie has 'fallen' for him. Huh, that's weird. I realize I'm recycling the phrase, but Dr. you best holla we want pre nup.
I must say this, after a phone call from fellow BCB'er JG, is Schwartz just rehashing his crazy idea's from seasons past? Johnny loves Marissa, Marissa is none too available so he goes for Marissa's sister. Season one we saw Luke date Marissa and swipe her V'chip in the process, then go for her mom. Good thinking Schwartz. I wonder if he's been drinking? Or maybe not drinking enough! Regardless, I'm beginning to believe that Marissa is bucking the crap out of the odds for not being in a looney tune bin for having to go through all she has in three short seasons.
I'll keep it short this week folks, and you keep it real.
QUESTIONS FROM THE COUCH
1. Did Britney Spears really live in a trailer house?
2. Would Sandy really give a flying effe if Seth toked up once in his life? He was the legend at UC-Berkely.
3. How many weeks till Jimmy Cooper, crook-in-chief returns to wreak havoc on his family and the pocketbooks of the wealthy?
4. Was Kaitlyn's skirt in the shot of her and Marissa walking on the pier the shortest in OC history?
5. What actually did happen to Kaitlyn's pony? I mean, that pony was a big reason her parents got divorced.
DRIVIN' DOWN THE 101
The Bait Shop is back! But please see above for the Luke-Julie/Johnny-Kaitlyn reference. Thanks, thanks for reading.
IF YOU BELIEVE THEY PUT A MAN ON THE MOON...
...Seth will NOT smoke up
...Ryan will NOT leave Marissa over this Johnny/Kaitlyn, Marissa is jealous thinger.
...Julie and Neil will NOT get married.
Peace, time to Fest.

Thompson, Franchise at a Cross-Roads: Part 1 of 2
So how do you run a Hall of Famer out of town?
Well you can start by riding the team of one of his closer friends, and backup quarterback Doug Pederson.
Next you could do the same with two of his best protectors and men who keep him upright.
You could then assemble a team lacking any depth, in one in serious trouble if injuries should occur.
Perhaps you could remain silent during a much heated hold out by your second best player, and insist to remain silent even when your superstar quarterback interjects himself in the debate and subsequently takes heat.
But the last straw, fire his companion, man he trusts, man he respects, and head coach.
While Ted Thompson has verbally stressed he wants Brett Favre to return to Green Bay for a sixteenth season, the moves he has made would suggest otherwise.
Thompson knows there is no way he can tell Brett Favre he would rather him retire than comeback and survive in the state. So he's communicating it to him non-verbally. It is Thompson's plan to rebuild, and rebuilding ususally doesn't involve a veteran quarterback when you have a talented first round pick on the bench. Nor does it include paying that quarterback over $10 million when you may not even be a competitive team.
So Thompson puts up the facade, doing everything he can to tell Brett Favre he wants him back, but then making moves that would suggest the complete opposite.
I don't think anyone privy to the financial situation this team was in would blame him for not retaining either Rivera or Whale. It simply could not be done. The real head scratcher was the addition of lifetime injury-prone under-performing guard/tackle Adrian Klemm. And Klemm didn't come so inexpensive.
In fairness to Thompson, he did a lot of good things in his first year as GM. For starters he took the team from "cap hell" to good shape in just one offseason.
He released high priced, and overrated veteran saftey Darren Sharper and replaced him with a very good looking Nick Collins.
He appeared to have found two very good young players in the draft in Terrance Murphy and Brady Poppinga, that was before injuries ended their seasons.
Samkon Gado was a nice looking pickup, and looks like he may be a very good backup or even starter in this league. And Donald Lee looked like a capable tight end in spots.
I was really indifferent on Thompson's first season under the helm. I thought he did both some good and some bad, but I thought the good out-weighed the bad. That was until the morning of January 2.
On January 2, I was awaken to a phone call. I woke up and checked the voice mail left by a fellow college and friend. Upon hearing the news left on my phone, I instantly felt cheated and lied to.
"Hey JG, Sherman's gone. Thompson's holding a press conference at 10:30 to announce the firing."
And with that, the Mike Sherman era ended. Interestingly enough, the same day the Barry Alvarez era was over.
