    Just one. Hold bulb with one hand, drink till room spins with other.

    How many alcoholics does it take to change a light bulb?
  3. USAFChief
    I'll have to defer to you on this one, Mr Haight Ashbury.

    How many Grateful Dead fans does it take to change a light bulb?

    And in the days of 12 and 13 man pitching staffs, by definition a part time, one position player causes an even shorter bench, with impact elsewhere.

    Well, that's true, as far as it goes. -0.4 dWAR. https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/m/mauerjo01.shtml

    Major traffic accident here in Tucson this afternoon. A cement mixer collided with a bus ferrying prisoners between a state prison and a federal penitentiary. Police have advised citizens to be on the lookout for 15 hardened criminals.

    He isn't at first base at least twice a week.

    Austin powers! Groovy!

    Alan Busenitz, of course, has a predictable nickname. However, he apparently spells it "Buze." Lame.

    More long odds: The Earth is undefeated in Miss Universe contests.

    Interesting trivia: Lou Trivino, Oakland A's pitcher, is not related in any way to World Golf Hall of Famer Lee Trevino.

    Yeah, that reminds me of the ship building documentary I watched this morning. Riveting.

    Not if you're still contagious.

    Not addressed to me, but I'll take a shot. The Fangraphs page in post 66 lists Mauer with 1 DRS, which ranks 12th among qualified first baseman. The same page shows him with 2.1 UZR, which ranks 8th among qualified first baseman. He does move up to 4th in UZR/150, but of course nobody pays much attention to UZR/150. Which, in Mauer's case, makes even more sense since Mauer has played 150 games in a season only once in his career, and this season is in the 60's for games started at first base. Personally, I think Mauer is a very good first baseman, with my only complaint his slowness at starting double plays. He hesitates, but that's a minor, minor thing. The problems, though, are the value of defense at first base is somewhat questionable, and he doesn't play enough to make full use of the value if it indeed is there. I

    Anybody good with simple home repairs out there? If you know how to fix broken hinges, my door is always open.

    Cave, man!

    I read there already was a call from Torre waiting for the first base ump after blowing consecutive calls: "Bruce? Dreck, man."
  19. USAFChief
    Yeah, I keep getting these ads I assume are politically motivated, given the current investigation: "Meet Russian Women."

    I switched to CenturyLink about 2 months ago. So far, their rates really haven't changed.

    Fortunately, 6'5" Stephen Gonsalves was there to back up the throw, or both runners would have advanced. //yes, I know. that's the joke.
  22. USAFChief
    No, it's not about one PA. It's about the mindset of playing for one run early in ANY ballgame. This was just an example.

    You’re happy with a sac bunt in the 4th inning? From the middle of the order no less? Not me.

    So you think Molitor told Sano not to get a hit?
