Gotta have the windows open
and it’s in the 90s in the daytime, and the kids are home, and the O’s are on the West Coast, so it’s a win-win.

i think there was an ad that was breaking the page
but it’s gone.
i couldn’t get on earlier either.
Yes, I should say that, which, I should say that.
Let's see, I have to work at 7:30 tomorrow
I wonder how far I’ll make it into this game?

another scoreless inning for ziegler
against blowsox
I'm watching the White Sox game right now
Griffey is 2-3 with 2 singles, 2 RBI, and 1 Run. The one out that he made was a deep fly ball to right center that would’ve been out of most ballparks.

fortunately, that never happens to us
i’d be really pissed if something like tihs happened often, though.
okay, here's the home improvement section of the thread....
...for you, duck.
here’s the thing. renovating a kitchen in NYC is not the same scale as everywhere else, as it is generally the size of a bathtub…..

Of course, you never know what you’ll find behind a wall in a building that dates to the 1860s…
...but it sure don’t look regular.
We’re increasing the doorway by two bays to open the place up.

...and replacing all the crappy old lathe/plaster with drywall while we’re at it. Not part of the original plan, but as I said, you start breaking eggs…..
We finally got some drywall onto that crazy back wall yesterday….
and today we finished all the drywall and began mudding. YAY!
It looks good
I’ve had to renovate a kitchen with my Dad before. He’s a contractor.

I just posted this....
on the Fox Sports feedback page.
(pulldowns: TV > FSN > FSN Northwest)
I encourage everyone here to do the same. Maybe we can actually make a difference in this world!
Dear FSN Northwest:Please tell the Mariners broadcasters, Dave Sims and Mike Blowers, that the Baltimore Orioles’ manager is David TREMBLEY (with an “e”), not TROMBLEY (with an “o”), as they keep pronouncing it.
He has been managing the team since last year and, by all accounts, is doing a bang-up job. And this is the Orioles’ second series at Safeco this year, so there’s really no excuse to continue to get it wrong.
It would be nice to hear them say the name properly for the last two games of this series.
Thanks,
Zachary Knower

I think the pitch actually has to hurt for a suspension to happen.
So, DCab, Sarfate, and Guts should be the ones looking out.

I played against a team in high school that had a train come by their stadium
and every time the train came by they would steal if they had a runner on base because they knew that the catcher wouldn’t be able to here anybody yelling going.

Fuck You Fahey
Why do we have you on the team when we have Cintron AND Castro?
Uh, because he can play about five different positions and his batting average is
better than Cintron’s or Castro’s?
by Birds Man of Bethesda on Aug 2, 2008 12:35 AM EDT reply actions
Castro can play those positions too
They are both terrible hitters, but Castro appears to be better defensively. I don’t care which one is on the team, but having both is just silly.
Cintron has a much higher BA, by the way.
it could be because they don't know
who they’re gonna give the 5th starter job to yet

Liz pitched well for Norfolk tonight
7 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 5K, 1BB on 82 pitches
But we already knew he could get AAA hitters out.
1BB is good.

He is getting groundballs
Which is basically his job.
But I do agree with the sentiment.
look, it sucks for olson,
but he was kind of lucky tonight. 11 hits, 1 BB over 8-1/3 innings is a WHIP in the 1.4x region. The shutout was bit of a gift.
BUT
of those 11 hits, 10 were after he had a 8 run lead. He started throwing strikes over the plate, which should should when you’re up by 8.

So, yeah. I mean, he’s probably no more than a #4, but he’s shown signs of getting it his last two starts.

Good game for Olson and the hitters.
Fahey’s arson attempt has no implications for the long term outlook of this club. I hope.
I think Fahey will be finding his way back to Norfolk shortly.
As soon as the whole starting pitching thing is figured out.

We need two starters in the next 8 days
So yeah, I hope he’s got his frequent flier miles saved up

Good night, everyone.
5.5 hours of sleep here I come.

Whee, this musta been a nice one (til the sloppy 9th-- but who cares?) I'm incommunicado here
at the fambly’s summer estate, harrumph, on the banks of the mighty Susquehanna. Which means no hi-speed net for the moment - I’m ripping off wi-fi at the local public library right now - and because Peter Angelos is a douche, no frickin’ radio coverage of the game: You can pick up the Orioles’ AM “flagship” station - if there even is one it’s operated by two hamsters and Petey’s nephew or something - about as well as you can pick up Seattle, so I’m reduced to following the O’s via other people’s Out of Town Scoreboard segments (Yerks ‘n’ Sawx come in best).
And their games had some interesting moments: Speaking of hamsters, Pedro served up 3 gopher balls, hee-hee, and Miggi said he’s really happy in Astroland in the post-game. Meanwhile, Sid sobered up long enough to save his job, shutting out the Angels on 2 hits over 7—though he wasn’t exactly sharp at some points, with 4 BB and a nice bouquet of at ‘em balls and shots pulled down at the wall. Still, credit where it’s due to El Sid and his personal trainers: Jim Beam, Johnny Walker and the rest.
OK, it’s Guts tonight—I’m psyched!! Which is good because it’s gonna take a psychic connection to follow the game if the Sawx station wavers, since the Yerks play at 4 pm in NY.
Go O’s! Go drywall! Go Trombley! Go figure!
