  1. Loved the animation and 60's scifi movie mainframe sound effect. It doesn't care much for names that end with vowels. LaBombo => Labsy => No thanks. Pretty sure that what it generated from my real last name is a Yiddish curse word...
  2. That may be. But let's see EE and JB make some overall leaps and bounds before we anoint them superior SS candidates relative to EN or... whomevahr. http://img.over-blog.com/400x300/4/91/00/18/englishbob.jpg
  3. Yeah, the notion of Deduno as untouchable seems like a stretch. He wasn't able to make a rotation that still stands a reasonable chance of being one of the ten or even five worst in the majors, and his initial foray into relief has been...what's the positive word? Adventure?
  4. Cellars.
  5. Starting to worry that Zukesie's .429 batting average may not be sustainable...
  6. PFlo not going gently into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light!...hitting future utility infielder. http://i.ytimg.com/vi/byJCcMJZElg/0.jpg
  7. The willingness to admit that pitch-to-contact has a negative macro effect on your own team's offense is seldom discussed, but it's real and tangible and on display every time a defensive savant like Florimon picks up a bat.
  8. Cola is co-AL Player of the Week, and I'll bet he could still work an entire shift behind the counter at NAPA without being recognized more than once or twice tops.
  9. So have most of the pitchers he's faced (*rimshot*). http://cdn.memegenerator.net/instances/500x/44169486.jpg
  10. Yeah. As I understand it the intent of the rule is to prevent the pitcher from faking out batters and baserunners. Hard to see how a microtremor like that could have anybody jumping out of their shoes, but it was technically illegal. Sigh.
  11. Better beat the rush and stash Eduardo Nunez...
  12. Deduno is even more interesting to watch now that he's added the balk to his arsenal...
  13. Bremer: "Nick Punto in to pinch run for Lowrie. Let's see if he slides into first..." Couldn't help but laugh.
  14. And money in the bank to sign somebody when the time is right, if the current answer at short isn't in the organization.
  15. Lowrie lucky not to have ended up with stitching imprint tattooed onto his forehead.
  16. No, but his beard is. It fought him to a draw in the Norris family reunion cage match...
  17. Thank goodness. Was afraid I'd make it through a home game without hearing 'Come on Eileen' again. Poor old Johnnie Ray...
  18. Grizzly Adams really got a hold of that one...
  19. Good to hear. Looks like a smart move, and another sign that Ryan is back in business. In fact, it's so encouraging it's enough to make up for the disappointment of knowing that there's now a much lower probability that we'll get to hear Bert's search-and-destroy pronunciation skills tackle 'Sulbaran'. fwiw, my money was going to be on 'Sulburban', pronounced like the SUV.
  20. Deduno hasn't pitched since Friday and has only thrown an inning and two thirds. This seems like the kind of situation that they wanted him in the pen for, basically as a second starter when the first guy can't go at least 5. If so, bring him in with the bases empty, please...
  21. http://www.clickypix.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/challenge-accepted-8.jpg
  22. Has anybody swung and missed in this inning?
  23. Correia celebrates challenge going in his favor by giving the free pass and two runs...
