    Tried running a laundry but it just didn't wash. Planned a drive-through liquor store but lost my concentration. Was an engineer for a while but I got off track.,
  2. big dog
    Yeah, I don't see Pryor as someone to release right now. Hopefully he gets a chance.
  3. big dog
    Well, it definitely has to be an unwanted distraction during a pennant race. No doubt about that.
  4. big dog
    Agreed, and that's why I want to leave the players in Rochester as long as humanly possible. I have not been anti-Gardy at all (not necessarily pro, but not anti), but he's completely lost me here at the end of the year. He's managing like a guy who can't wait to retire.

    Unfortunately, if you buy the doubleheader they then offer you the memory wipe for $3,000.
  6. big dog
    Well, he wouldn't have gotten to hit off our staff so it wouldn't have worked out that well for him. Anthony- just start hitting guys. That way it's only one base at a time.

    Do you see the ad behind home plate? "Ollie's Bargain Outlet"? That's a little non-traditional. I wonder if they have an outlet in Warren MN? AND SWARZAK COMES THROUGH!!! Geez, there goes Nolasco's ERA. Looking forward to 2015!
  8. big dog
    Speaking of draft order, Ed wants me to crack open a nice cold can of Bud!
  9. big dog
    I vote Nolasco stays in for the rest of the game. He's killed this bullpen long enough. --edit--and, as seems to happen a lot lately, Gardy disagrees with me. And who's coming in? Some young gun who needs game experience? Nope, Swarzak. Yesterday? Duensing and Burton. I vote to give Pressly some more chances. Instead Gardy probably wants Guardado back.

    and we know how those magic Beans worked out in the story about Jack. Scary times.
  11. big dog
    Trevor Plouffe, Player of the Hour! and RB's comeback starts.
  12. big dog
    Trying to be positive...thinking hard...I got nothin'. Wait- we won't have to listen to Hawk yell and hoot about Adam Dunn home runs any more! OK, that wasn't much but it was something. Here's another- well, at least Hughes was a good free agent signing!
  13. big dog
    That was a nice catch by Plouffe. The Oriole fans could have helped their team out- he was well into the seats when he got the ball.
  14. big dog
    I no longer believe in jinxes. This is just a horrible, horrible year. It's time to embrace that, acknowledge it, and instead of trying to avoid the bad, we should just welcome whatever little bit of good news comes our way. Adam Dunn??? Beane is panicking. He gave away the future to the Cubs to get Samardzia, now he's just throwing money away hoping to make his plan look smart.
  15. big dog
    Look for Berrios to step on a banana peel and dislocate an ankle some time in the next 2 hours.
  16. big dog
    I was wondering if Dozier was suffering from a slump based on participating in the HR Derby- it often seems like guys leave the Derby and their HRs drop off. He had 18 at the break. He's had 2 since then. He's also dropped off in other areas, with 16 steals before the break and just 4 afterward. Slugging percentage has dropped from .436 before to .372 after. Maybe he's just wearing down after a hard year. Mauer's slugging is .086 higher since he got off the DL, an even bigger swing that Dozier (and in the opposite direction). His OPS is .824, up from .695. Nice to see. Arcia has jumped from .683 since the break- I hope it's the New and Improved Oswaldo, here to stay.
  17. big dog
    I think Mauer's back to the pre-trip-to-the-DL Joe. An RBI tonight, but not a night he's going to want to remember. I hope nothing's wrong.
  18. big dog
    I thought Vargas was pretty weak, but Arcia's a lot worse at .579.
  19. big dog
    For two High-A pitchers. http://www.mlbtraderumors.com/2014/08/orioles-acquire-alejandro-de-aza.html
  20. big dog
    That OPS of .634 against lefties could definitely use some help.
  21. big dog
    I bet that would be pretty darn good on a brat...mmmm, brat... We had shrimp tacos tonight with cabbage, but it was just chopped cabbage without anything fancy. Well, except for shrimp.
  22. big dog
    You are good, my friend. Very good.
  23. big dog
    Why does Duensing ever get to face a right-handed hitter? Are we not even trying to win this game? Oh, look, and as I type that another RH batter laces a double into the corner. Gardy, just try and win a little bit, ok? -edit- and here's Duensing, facing his 3rd RH batter in a row. -edit 2- amazingly, he escaped by walking him on bad pitches. And here comes Anderson out to work his magic. I'm gonna head out and get a brat with kraut and mustard.
  24. big dog
    nice work by Vargas to go to second when Cruz decided to throw the ball 20 feet above the cutoff man there.
  25. big dog
    I typed a post saying it was good to see him work out of it, then I see that a run scored somehow. Still, not a bad job. If only we could score a couple of runs here or there, that would help.
