Welll....
I did a rough draft for last night and SC killed it and replaced it with better stuff, so I didn’t bother with a rough draft today, figuring SC would add stuff. I guess I will now.
:)
I know, I know, TMI.

There’s also Michigan, Wisconsin, Indiana, Missouri, Iowa, the Dakotas. Plus the Cubs are also a pretty national team thanks to WGN over the years. It’s not just about the size of Chicago. It’s a huge, huge fanbase.

or every time you hear “stomach ailment” or especially “flu-like symptoms,” you think hangover?
I’ll give Bri-Bri the benefit of the doubt, but at least some of the time, I have to think that’s true.

you make that much money and only have 162 work days, you better damn sight do what you can to make all of them.

they work more than 162 days
spring training, winter leagues, etc… and 162 days of work with nary a day off in between and tooooons of travel isnt exactly fun. i dont know about you, but i wouldnt want to work 21 days straight. or show up to work and find out 4 hours later work was cancelled for the day and I have to work twice as long the next day. when you look at it as a job and not as baseball, its pretty f’ed up.
that being said, they make waaaaaaaaaay enough money to compensate for any of that and i’m just excited for albers to start. obviously they shouldnt be missing starts due to hangovers (ahem ponson…)

"obviously they shouldnt be missing starts due to hangovers "
That we can agree on. Dude’s sick, dude’s sick. That’s understandable. I would have a problem with a player tying one on the day before a game and THAT being the reason he can’t play. That’s unprofessional.
Getting a cold or a blister on a finger when you’re a pitcher, well, shit happens, and if you can’t go, you can’t go.
But taking actions that LEAD to you not being able to do your job, that’s just unprofessional.

I like the O's Hangout
It’s quite different from here, yeah. But there are a lot of folks over there who really know their stuff, so it’s a good read. The problem is since they’re so big you sometimes have to sift through some crap to get to the good stuff. That and some of them tend to spend as much time talking about each other as they do the game, that can get a little tedious. But it’s not a bad place to go when I’m bored at work.

Just prior to the draft I spent a lot of time over there
Their draft coverage was quite good. I know there were a few guys on here who really knew what they were talking about, but over there it was very comprehensive. They do a number of things very, very well, and the draft is one of them. And the game recaps are also very good. I know a lot of people here trash talk them, and I see that angle, but it’s actually not a bad place to spend some time.

Jim and Jim weren’t in a guessing mood, and we won’t know unless the O’s tell us. And I seriously doubt they will announce “Matt Albers had to leave the game due to the shits.” Although that WOULD be hilarious.

What is most annoying about that
is that Steinjunior may be right.

Fontenot must be an imbecile
swinging on the first pitch against a guy who is suddenly sgtrike-challenged.

Newsflash!
I suppose the bright side is they can ding him if he doesn’t throw it in the zone.

Nice to see Jamie Walker not fuck up

I admit it, he is very effective
against .192 hitters on full counts.

Jamie Walker strikes out a left-handed hitter!
I didn’t know he could still do that.
Now, we need about 4 runs in this inning. Maybe 5 or 6 or 8 or something.
Please, I want to go to sleep happy.

Well, I guess we've got to hope for the best tomorrow.
Maybe we won’t go through our entire bullpen then.
Please, Rad, don’t get sick or hurt yourself in the first inning. Thanks.

I'll say it again
1 out of 3 from the good teams is fine for this year, as long as we win series from the bad-mediocre ones. Tonight was just f-ed up from the get-go.

I don’t think I can take another loss to the Cubs and have to listen to that song again.

My dad and I left after the second out in the ninth
It was hard to leave.
Also, its still hard for me to cheer for Ray Jay Payton, so we settled with, “We still hate you, but if you could play well we can trade you!” And then realized I wish the Cubs wanted him for their home team ball boy. The kid runs like Velma from Scooby-Doo. It was hilarious!
