1. Why would anyone hate Frank McCourt?
I'm assuming your talking about "Angela's Ashes" Frank McCourt.

4. I blame the team

Injuries like Bradley's, but also the underachievement going on. I will blame Depo only if they don't make good deals before July 31.

10. Cheerist... I thought Walter O'Malley was the owner...
of the Dodgers. Or his son was.

A bit out of the loop I am.

So what's wrong with the BAD Frank McCourt?

17. Hey, come on, the Yankees got swept
by the Royals too.
Don't you have them confused with Tommy "the Hitman" Lasorda?

14. Me too. But, strangely enough, someone gave me 'Tis...
for Xmas and I ATE it up.

The Americanizing process was much more interesting to me than life in the west of Ireland. Also the NYC connection.

15. I never made it to 'Tis. I just could not do it.
I thought about it, but needed a break.

16. Isn't there enough hate in the world?
Why would you want to pile more hate on the hate heap?

Have you ever met them personally?
