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.

all the stuff is SC’s. By the time I saw it needed stuff, SC was already adding it.

"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17

No it's not
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_United_States_Combined_Statistical_Areas
Chicago is more populous, but DC/Balt is catching up.
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.

So is it just me
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.

Seems to me
you make that much money and only have 162 work days, you better damn sight do what you can to make all of them.
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
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…)
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
the travel is ridiculous
They also have to stay in shape over the winter, which is no picnic.

"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.

No Adam Jones, son!

so i just checked out o's hangout
its all… respectable. i dont know about you guys (actually i kinda do) but i like a little vulgarity and passion with my baseball.
not knocking o’s hangout, just seems a bit boring for my taste.
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
Some like the club seats
some like the bleachers. I’m a bleachers kinda guy. That’s why I’m here. It’s all the shit I’d yell if my wife let me.

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.
"We’re not concerned about what other teams think. I know teams come in here thinking we’re playing the Orioles. And then 9 innings later, they got the loss, they know what we’re about." ~Adam Jones
O's Hangout is an awesome site
Not my cup of tea ‘cause, let’s face it, a brother can’t be a brother over there, but they’re wonderful fans and do a great, great job, and they have done so for many years.

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.

BUNT!
he wanted to do it.
"I’m sure glad he didn’t try to bunt." - DD on Melmo's game winning double, 6/17
So, if Matt does well
do we have a rotation question on our hands? Does he replace Burres?
"I wasn't here for the losing years. But it feels a little like the days with Earl in charge and John Lowenstein smashing birthday cakes in the middle of the clubhouse with a bat." - John "T-Bone" Shelby
Yeah, kinda moot now

Nick Markakis: The Actual Greek God of Walks
THis, this is not good
Bases loaded, 1 out, and he ain’t Shutdown. This is not a night we needed to kill our ‘pen eating innings.

TV didn't say
We just saw the trainer trot out, and Palmer speculated it might be physical, and DD took that ball. Go to commercial, and here’s Lance Cormier.
Now you know as much as we do.

maybe something is going the clubhouse.
Wolf, wolf, wolf.
We just don't know
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.

That can’t be good.

And Cintron fell down
Of course he did.

And I miss 1970 Jim Palmer
and 1983 Eddie Murray, and that year Brady hit 50 HRs…..

I have dreams about things like that.
Actually, I have dreams about 1989 a lot…and Olson managing to get that save.
Ted Lilly getting 2 base hits against us
is a disgrace. This is pathetic. Any pitcher responsible in this crap needs to be DFA’d.
This is infuriating.
It could be worse
TB is beating FLA 15-1.

This just in...
Ronnie’s still a dillweed.

Geez, it's only the 5th?
We’re nearing the TWO HOUR mark, guys. And I’m catching the replay of Keith on MSNBC at 10 EST, so carry one without me.

Don't forget, tomorrow's game is at 2:20 Eastern

which means we'll lose.
Dunno what it is about this team & day games, but apparently they don’t like to play so soon after getting out of bed.
From the Land of Pleasant Living...
Slacker.
Geroge woulda hit one, walked one, and had an error let the 3rd one reach.

watching the substitute instead
a lot more entertaining than this
Adam PH for the pitcher?

Nice effort, guys
Gotta get baserunners to score runs.
I just got in myself, but..
-Albers got hurt and only retired one batter
-Cubs beat up on AAA relievers
-Payton homered twice
Not Flat Breezy had two jacks?!?! You got to be kidding me.

JayPay owns Ted Lilly
the way Aubrey owns the Rays. Very strange.
MFY, TB, PHN
all won—lotta runs. Joba was lights out.
yeah I heard Joba pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings

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

3 BBs in a row

Fontenot must be an imbecile
swinging on the first pitch against a guy who is suddenly sgtrike-challenged.
From the frying pan into the fire
It’s the Jay-Walk all-star!
AFTER we get out of this inning
first things first

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

Jamie Walker, Boy!
3-1 count my ass. Just setting him up for the K.

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.
With the bases loaded, no less...

Battling back from a 3-0 count, no less

Heh heh....

Alright, Kerry Wood.
You owe me this blown save for all the fantasy teams you’ve fucked up for me over the years.
Kerry is smokin'
98 mph fasball, then 82 mph curve with a 12” break. Woah!
Yeah he's got some pretty electric stuff.

I could've sworn he blew his arm out
It’s good to see he’s found his niche
Well, that sucked.

Man, I call Ronnie like 30 times about MotorHead tickets tonight...

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.
Hopefully Liz has better luck tomorrow
I don’t think I can take another loss to the Cubs and have to listen to that song again.
Geaux Eaux's
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!
