    Wow, Kent St. -- just atrocious. 17 turnovers in the first half.
  2. RU Rah Rah
    Is it "home runs" or "homeruns"?
  3. RU Rah Rah
    I totally agree. I thought he had a pretty good hack at the ball he fouled off. I've seen many, many MLB pitchers look worse at the plate.

    What's weird is that the writer makes this comment in his description of the Jays' fifth-ranked pen: "Unless Accardo suffers from Gagne Disease and loses his edge in a setup role, he'd be a nasty eighth-inning guy."

    More broadly . . . I am amazed by the amount of hideous MLB gear out there. We could easily start an "Ugliest Lid" thread with what's out there.

    Good lord, my hometown team, Maryland-Baltimore County (UMBC), is one win away from getting in. How am I going to explain to my wife that I need to watch the America East final on Saturday?

    I think there are varying levels of premeditation here. On a play at the plate, you really have a split second to decide what you're going to do, and how you're going to do it. If the catcher doesn't yet have the ball, or the throw is off line, or some other miscue happens, you're obviously going to let up. But if the ball arrives on time and the catcher is blocking the plate, you have to decide -- in a blink, basically -- if you're going to go over, under, or around him. At a certain point, I think it's a reflex, bang-bang play; you don't necessarily have time -- when you're running full blast and 10 feet from the plate -- to say, "Well, it's only spring training, so maybe I should let up." The Shelley Duncan play at second base was another matter entirely. From the time he left first base, he obviously had every intent of spiking the guy. It wasn't even close. It was just a cheap play. Gomes probably went overboard, but he gets points for standing up for teammate (albeit in a slightly rampaging way).

    It will interesting to see if Ned really sticks with batting the catcher ninth for 162 games, particularly if it works out poorly a couple of times early in the year.

    Oh, I was just complaining about my office lacking a tourney pool. (Not to make a wild generalization based on gender, but sometimes being the only sports-minded guy in an office really stinks.)

    I like these things, but it would be unconscionable to have the Rangers close Yankee Stadium. They should have a giant Yankee love-fest. (I mean, I hate the Yankees, but they can't close the stadium with an NHL game. That would be way too weird.)
  11. RU Rah Rah
    As long as he stops short of referring to himself in the third person, I'm fine with it.
  12. RU Rah Rah
    I haven't followed the pitcher-batting-eighth debate very closely up until this point. Is the team really going to net 30 runs? (I am not saying it's impossible or anything; I'd just like to see some kind of statistical analysis.)
  13. RU Rah Rah
    You're certainly entitled to your opinion, Big Reed, and you have every right to express it, but I couldn't possibly disagree with you more.

    I wonder about the dog days of summer. You're playing an afternoon game, and it's 90+ degrees. Do you reach for a nice, steaming cup of java? (Or maybe they have a Gatorade cooler filled with iced coffee?)
  15. RU Rah Rah
    So . . . what wouldn't be suspicious? If he was evasive and sneaky?
  16. RU Rah Rah
    It's clearly impacting his performance. This also from the AP story: It even caused him to miss a nice defensive gem earlier in the week when first baseman Prince Fielder had his glove knocked off yet he still made an out when he scooped up the ball and touched the base. Yost saw very little of a play he nonetheless deemed as great. "I was turned around pumping the coffee," Yost said. "I saw Prince cover first base and everybody was going nuts."
  17. RU Rah Rah
    "I was exceedingly correct." How can you be "exceedingly" correct?

    I have heard that Australia is a blast, and, obviously, language would not be as much of an issue (although I assume that all instruction at any of these sites will be in English anyway, if it's a UW program). I don't know if I would pay $10K extra for it, though. FIPS133's counsel seems excellent. The EU connections in Brussels would be excellent, and you'd be more centrally located for travel to other locales. (And not to be a total advising nerd, but also think a little bit about the courses offered, how they fit into your plan, etc. I know that's not very sexy, but it's worth considering.)

    I am reserving judgment until I see how the bullpen shakes out. I'm figuring that it will be a mixed bag (esp. with Mota, who doesn't impress me at all), but I'm hopeful that it will still be an upgrade over last year. As mentioned numerous times above, Gagne is pivotal. With that price tag, and all the baggage, DM is going to look awful if his fellow Canadian tanks. (And, parenthetically, what are we going to do about the accent mark over the "e" in Gagne? Is there a macro or something to get that?)

    Alas, we appear to have missed the try-outs. From the AP: "The Florida Marlins are looking for some footloose fat men. The National League team is creating an all-male, plus-size cheerleading squad to be dubbed the Manatees. Tryouts were scheduled for Sunday. The team hopes to recruit seven to 10 tubby men to dance, cheer and jiggle during Friday and Saturday home games this season."

    The players apparently are pouting about Sampson's ouster. They've threatened not to play for anyone else, and several skipped practice on Friday. It's probably just an empty threat, but I wonder what would happen if a bunch them quit. IU probably could put together a competent team of mid-season walk-ons.
  22. RU Rah Rah
    But what was her OPS?
  23. RU Rah Rah
    I cracked a smile over the "battler" thing, too.
  24. RU Rah Rah
    I am not saying that anyone has to apologize, but . . . if you're going to, at least offer a real apology.
  25. RU Rah Rah
    Lugging deer meat? Throwing out the garbage?
