That's a great way to celebrate the 4th of July!

Winner!

So has anyone had the Diamond Dog at TF (1/4 pound hot dog, wrapped in peppercorn bacon, deep fried then put on a pretzel bun)?

[D. Hocking]

Happy Fourth!

[Blake]

 

A lot of guys would have to get hurt or bow out for him to be an All Star.

Then, he has a chance. Not bad for a guy that was playing indie ball a couple of years ago.

Speaking of which, how is Colabello doin?

Erv takes the mound tomorrow night against some meat named Bridwell. I feel sweepy.

Is it made of chicken????

That would make it not only an appropriate victory dinner, but it would also then be heart healthy.

Most of us are probably aware that Vargas has been sent down again. Interesting factoid: He has two of the six longest HR's in the majors this year according to MLB.com.

Longest homeruns? Cool. And Buxton has a couple of the shortest, no? Naturally i am measuring them by the plate-plate time...

For those who are going WHAT???? (me for one) its:

 

Compute Local Apparent Sidereal Time. Sidereal time is the hour angle of the vernal equinox, the ascending node of the ecliptic on the celestial equator. The daily motion of this point provides a measure of the rotation of the Earth with respect to the stars, rather than the Sun.

 

So happy that I know that now     

Me too. That is actually pretty cool.

 

Just to be difficult...isn't the Sun a star?

 

And to confirm i got all those big words down, the autumnal equinox would be the descending node of the ecliptic on the celestial equator, right?
