    My statements were irresponsible. I have subsequently looked up the terms. Whereas I was not incorrect, they did not mean what I thought they meant.

    You can do literally anything you set your mind to do. Not figuratively. Literally. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlD9JYP8u5E

    Nothing to be scared of. Just be yourself, we'll boo, you'll run off the stage in shame. Brian's had the process down for a long time now. Easy peasy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qztuEucrNBc

    If not being able to hit out of a paper bag is wrong, I don't wanna be right. Wow, great score, 7-0. What are we, in the 8th or 9th? Game really must have flown by! Pelfrey's clearly picked up the pace.

    Which, in the context of his minor league numbers, may in retrospect turn out to be his Career Year.

    It's impossible to know how one would react in a real situation, but as I sit here thinking about what if I saw one of my sons in that photo, first I'd be heading to the hospital to check on his condition, and I'd seek to find out if the story held up, and then I'd be seeking out the person who posted it and offer a handshake as I apologized for the impossible language my son had been using. My son might not like the protesters any better, as a consequence of the injury, but he sure would get a refresher course from me that language like that isn't ever called for, and that hatred has a way of turning itself back on a person, sometimes out of proportion. Maybe the missing tooth will be reminder for the rest of his life to do better. Like I say, though, impossible to know. More important than my reaction, though, is that it's not likely the "brat" has much in the way of guidance. That doesn't change that his opinion of the protesters isn't of much value either way. Sometimes you just omit the disrespect, out of self-interest.

    His current .303 OBP is a bit weak for a leadoff, and ultimately I'd rather see him hit second anyway. But nobody above him in OBP rank is a natural looking leadoff batter (Plouffe, Suzuki, Arcia?) plus the OBP differential is small at the moment, with the exception of Mauer's .386 which would look good at leadoff but he so sloooow as a baserunner that it's also not a natural fit unless you want to commit to station-to-station until he scores. We need someone else at the moment, a Hicks who has put it together say. And I need an editor to break up my sentences for me. / going from b-r.com so numbers aren't updated for today

    Florimon's high-minor league numbers always screamed "won't hit nearly enough to hold a starting job in the majors". (And there's a lot of nearly equal competition for backup jobs.) A month's worth of good part-time numbers in Indianapolis isn't enough to change my view, any more than last year's far-below-par numbers in the majors represented his true worth either.

    It's fine for Jim Carrey, but all I got from my daughter was Daaaaaad!
  10. ashbury
    There. You've said it twice. That shows admirable schtick-to-itiveness.
  11. ashbury
    I feel like I was there! Thanks!
  12. ashbury
    I guess that can be yours, then.
  13. ashbury
    I think you are now officially on the hook to do these anytime he's in for the save.

    OK, so it's a song. Brian would have had this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXGxVz2vFs4

    Has anybody seen Schafer lay down a successful bunt, ever?

    Few will make that differentiation, integral though it may be.

    Oh, you just figured out the Race Bannon - Jade thing, eh? Twins 5-3 in the middle of the 7th.
  21. ashbury
    See that nice pickup at third, Halsey?
  22. ashbury
    Pelf's contract expires at the end of this season so that rules him out.
  23. ashbury
    They're just copying the A's who did a similar thing with some pitcher whose ERA was 3.55.
  24. ashbury
    Plouffe comes through with a single for the lead! Dickbert suggested Nolasco was done for the day, presumably from watching the bullpen, but if it's me I send him back out for the 6th to earn his pay as an innings-eating workhorse. He's not that close to the mythical 100-pitch limit yet. Challenge him to pitch with the lead.
  25. ashbury
    I had to have someone explain to me why it was hilarious how Race and Jade would show up together in a way that surely pushed the censors' buttons for a kiddie show.
