    You forgot about the zim-zams.

    I predict that that will end up as someone's signatue in the near future.

    Thanks for the link, Pointer. Not having MLB Network is my only complaint with Dish Network thus far. I really enjoyed watching Willie Randolph working with (and talking smack to) various guys.

    I personally am enjoying their coverage of ST very much. It seems as if they're providing us with much more information than in years past. Yes, much of it is "meaningless drivel" when it comes down to nuts and bolts baseball, but I'm one of those fans that likes the "drivel." IMHO, Tom is a better writer than Anthony, speaking only in terms of writing skills. If you were to give them the exact same set of facts, and have them each write about those facts, I believe Tom would provide a better story. I find Tom's writing to be more expressive, and more cohesive. Anthony's stuff can seem bland, and at times jumps around a lot. I open the blogs and don't look at the byline. I guess I just assume it will be a piece by Tom. If it's Anthony's work, I usually know it by the end of the first paragraph. Again, this is just my personal opinion.

    TheCrew07, Mine was missed due to a few really odd facts. I injured my shoulder at the same time as I herniated 3 cervical disks. My shoulder tear was in the Supraspinatous (the uppermost of the 4 muscles that comprise the rotator cuff). On a normal man, the Supraspinatous is about 1/2" thick. Mine was 4" thick, mostly due to the work I did for a living. I learned that it's actually quite common for this muscle to be way over-developed in people that are in any of the pipe trades. The motion involved in using pipe wrenches is what does it. Right when I got hurt, tests were done on my neck and my shoulder. Shoulder showed good, neck showed as garbage. I could barely lift my left arm, but doctors kept saying "it's all radiating out of your neck." Finally, it tore the rest of the way through, showed up on an Arthrogram, and was operated on. The surgeon said that once he got in there, he could tell that it had been partially torn for a very long time, and that had it not torn the rest of the way, it likely would never have been diagnosed. I'm not saying Gamel's situation is like this, but when I hear people say "how do you miss a torn rotator cuff," my situation comes to mind. Medical imaging is wonderful science, but it's not infallible.

    http://www.jsonline.com/sports/brewers/88304832.html In the above article, it's actually Doug Melvin that uses "inventory," and in a fairly innocuous way. I probably wouldn't even have noticed it this time, had I not seen it once or twice in the past few days. I'll try and dig up the other one(s). I know there was at least one more, and in that article it was a really strange word for the context, like he (Macha or Melvin) referred to the entire roster as "our inventory." If it turns out to have been Melvin each time, that's it; I'm having my wife drive me to the home. The senility has clearly taken over. Incontinence must surely be next. And like I said from the start, this isn't anything that upsets me in the least; I just found it rather quirky, and I know some other bf.netters are kind of "into" words and their usage.

    C'mon, its really not that big of deal. Well, I certainly didn't mean to make a big deal of it. I was simply commenting on his choice of words.

    I don't know if Gamel had an MRI before this one, but oftentimes partial tears of muscles won't show up until the muscle tears completely. It took a year and a half and many MRI,s/CAT scans/Arthrograms to finally find my torn rotator cuff.

    In more than one article lately, I've read direct quotes from Macha wherein he refers to players as "inventory." For some reason, I find that just a little unsettling. I think I'd find it even more unsettling if I were one of the persons referred to as "inventory." Has anyone else noticed this, and if so, do you also find it somewhat odd? I'm not overly upset by it, I just find it a rather strange choice of words. Maybe it's just this year's catch phrase and we'll get to read it hundreds, if not thousands, of times. Any thoughts?
  11. Nottso
    It'd never happen; wouldn't be classy.
  12. Nottso
    I will try to make it as well.

    Sheffield, Bradley, Estrada, Soriano. And I don't care how highly he's regarded as a manager, I absolutely, positively, could not stomach TLR at the helm. His very existence annoys me. I could deal with Zambrano. I think he's kind of like Braun, in that if he's on your team you love him. If he's not on your team, you can't stand him.

    I claim senility. Great choices, Myday2001.

    Counsell, Weeks, and Damien Miller. I know it's mostly due to my homerism, but I just have always liked these guys. One's retired, one might be considered a superstar (in AZ), and one is on the verge of becoming a superstar (I hope). Minor leagues, I really want to see LHP Keith Weiser succeed. Last I looked, he was in Colorado's farm system. He and 2 of his college teammates spent a day hanging out with the wife and I in our driveway a few years back (their senior year), and he was just a super young man. They all were. Go Weeze!

    Put it on eBay. The bidding from bf.netters alone would probably buy you a Happy Meal at the very least. Hell, I'm in for a buck-an'-a-quarter right now!

    No more 15 minute, 4-pitch plate appearances.

    Suppan may just be our ace this year. Think about it for a minute. You're a major league hitter. For the past 3 years, as soon as you saw the pitch come out of his hand, you knew exactly where it would end up, and you killed it. Now this year, the ball has that vital 1/2" more movement.

    I've ridden every kind of motorcycle you can imagine, and have done so for 40 years now; yet, I have never been on a snowmobile.

    That's wonderful. Thanks, Ms. Hawing. It really was a special kind of moment. To this day, any time that song comes on and any of our wedding guests are in the vicinity, they turn it up loud and say "They're playin' your song!" The only time it went awry was on our 4th anniversary... Patti had the day off, and I let her sleep in. Normally, she has to get up and play with me or I'll do stuff (run with scissors, paint the dog, what-have-you). Anyways, around 9:00 I put on the Peanuts song really softly, kissed her gently on the cheek, and said "Happy anniversary. I love you." She opened her big brown eyes, looked up at me and said "Where's my coffee?" I knew then, that the honeymoon was over.

    I've never been to Idaho, but have been to Texas a few times. We like Texas so much that it is on our "short list" of retirement options.

    We have a heart-shaped flower garden on our property, and our Pastor married us right there. Afterwards, we had a pig roast, done by a friend. I printed the invitations, and did all the music via my computer. Pastor said that after he announced us as husband & wife, something "happy & upbeat" should be played for our trip back up the aisle together. We pleayed the "Peanuts" theme and danced back up the aisle. We spent almost nothing, had between 200 and 300 guests, and just about every single person there said (and says to this day) that ours was the best wedding they've ever attended.

    I don't know exactly where I read it, but I read where Braun actually puts little to none of his own money into these ventures.
  24. Nottso
    Nice!

    Welcome back. I'm here several times a day all year long, but post so little that you'd never really know it.
