  1. Great stuff, Matt. What was your out-pitch in those days?
  2. I concur with Dr. Papi's opinion.
  3. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/mar/18/white-sox-ace-chris-sale-accuses-vp-of-lying-about-adam-laroches-son The White Sox meltdown has become international news. Caught this on the Guardian this morning in HK. Wow. They could have handled this situation one heck of a lot better. This is something that could fester all season long, and pull a club apart. Now it's not about kids being in the locker room anymore, but about a lack of trust throughout the upper echelons. Whew...
  4. Yeh, it's too bad. He's got a great arm, great stuff, but somehow, just can't quite put it together on the mlb level. Probably have to dfa him, and he'll be picked up for sure. Strewth, he got jerked around, back and forth the last couple of years, when I wished he'd been given a solid, committed shot, but he's really not had a good spring in his last real chance with Minny.
  5. Come on, Gulfa, close this one out.
  6. Ooops- I better go back and check.
  7. Are they made with real chupacabra? Yummm....
  8. Boy, that was a heck of an interesting inning in the infield. Not a dull moment.
  9. Quentin on the hustle. That guy looks like he wants a job. Wouldn't surprise me to see him go north.
  10. Nice morning. Game on TV, and it's exam week, so I can surreptitiously catch the game, while pretending to mark essays. Gotta watch it with the comments, tho- "wow, you really smoked that section," or "what were you swinging at with that answer?"
  11. Crickey, mate! Beresford ripped that knuckler! Left a vapour trail (Aussie spelling).
  12. Heh... that sound of line drives makes me wonder how Pelf is doing over in Tiggers camp...
  13. Is Carrot-topped BB Buddy Boshers this year's lefty version of carrot-topped BB (Blaine Boyer)? The sound of whistling line drives off opposition bats is strikingly similar.
  14. On a side note, while Sano and Plouffe have been wearing their headsets and sitting athletically in the dugout, must we be subjected to shots of the broadcast booth, and Gladden's polo shirt athletically straining to contain that burgeoning beer keg?
  15. Wow, look how athletically Sano wears that headset. * Hic*
  16. Too late. Already peaked and fallen off the other side.
  17. Wow, milk out my nose, and I wasn't even drinking any.
  18. Captions on photos, especially when discussing unfamiliar players, would be a good idea. Great to credit the photog, that's not done enough, but who are those 2 guys?
  19. Wow. Just saw that highlight. Wow. The guy has persevered through a lot, and you wanna cheer for him, but.... wow.
  20. So, here I am, living and working offshore. I use my Paypal account for one purpose- to send $ to my pal, who's taking care of stored stuff for me, as such, I don't keep a very big balance there on an ongoing basis. As I'm about to send him a payment today, I notice my account has been wiped out- by Mlbtv. Somehow, they reached into my paypal account, taking more than the balance I had there, which triggered an automatic debit from my US bank account, reducing the balance I thought I had there. Now, in order to send $ to my friend, which is due right now, I have to wait the 3-5 business days for the $ to hit my account. How the hell is mlbtv able to heist it immediately? How did they do this? Argh- there it was, last year, at playoff time. I signed up for the $19.95 playoff package, and used paypal. Now, they came busting in again, and took more than I had there. There are so many frustrations with that 'service'- with their blackouts, and crappy feed the keeps freezing on and on- I gave up using them a couple of years ago, but went back for the nitty gritty last fall. Now, it's come back to bite me in the ass. Their 'customer service' is the worst in the universe, this side of cable tv. Try getting your dough back in a timely fashion, or having them address any other issues- and how they manage to hide their cancellation procedure in a Byzantine web is un-effing-believable. I hate them so much. Yes, it's on me, for not paying enough attention to my online flank, but dammit, they are a real pain in the bum. I hate them so much. Thoughts?
  21. There were a lot of great memories on the field, but maybe it was my one and only close encounter- up in the warehouse district after a win- I think he hit one that night- and Kirby at the next table scarfing plate after plate of wings. I gave him a fist bump with his non-wing hand, in my Summit-fueled haze. "You want one man?" he said. "Naw, Kirby," says I, "sluggers get all the wings, I'm just a banjo hitter." He laughed that laugh, and I'd had my moment.
  22. Aww, geez. I'm confused now. I'm just gonna look at digital clock for a moment, to keep my head from spinning.
