Chicago White Sox at Baltimore Orioles, Apr 22, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
Game time is 7:05. Pretty good pitching matchup. I don't "get" John Danks.

We might have another rain delay
It’s been raining here pretty much all day off and on.
"I think it’s shocking that the Baltimore Orioles are off to a 6-2 start this year, considering they are managed by TJ Hooker."

Outstanding. MST3K and CamdenChat. Two great tastes that taste great together.

For those of you unable to enjoy a home-theater HD broadcast of the New Yawk Skankees, here's the 'lights:
In a single inning we saw Damon come in from left on a pop fly, call Jeter off, stand there waiting and…drop the ball. Or rather, watch it clank off his glove. It was simply…amazin’.
Not to be outdone, Jeter then decided to try an unusual DP combo. First and third one out, grounder to the pitcher, who fires to Jeter covering second for the force. Jeter, in one his patented Leaping For No Particular Reason Except I’m Derek Jeter © plays, wheels and fires— HOME! Needless to say, this catches everyone in the stadium by surprise,— especially Jorge, who was approximately half way to first, which he figured to be backing up, duh.
True, The Cap’n’s Artful Flamethrow home beat the runner from third. However, it literally did not come within 30 feet of anybody wearing the same color shirt as Derek, and the home plate umpire simply refused to catch the ball and put the tag on…no doubt enraging Furd St*inbr*nn*r, halfwit owner of the team.
C.C. pretty much sucked again— although with that kind of fielding behind him, you sort of feel for the guy.
Middle of the 8th, 7-7.
"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
Jeter is a fielding GOD
and clutch. no matter what you say. just because he is occasionally out of position and lucky.
He isn't having a bad year at the plate so far
That kinda makes up for it, I guess. He’s like Tejada was for us in 2005 – contributes well with the bat, but evens things out by botching plays in the field.
ha! true...
it’s easy to lose the fact that he is, indeed, a great player and while i think he’s also kind of a jackass, i mean, HE doesn’t go around talking about what a great fielder he is. it’s bandwagon fans, YES network lackeys and national broasdcasters that don’t see him all that much that propagate the myth of his defensive prowess. it’s a bit irritating, is all.

I actually don’t mind Jeter much anymore. There aren’t many star players with absolutely zero connections to the steroids explosion and he’s one of them. He seems like a stand-up dude and an actual leader. He’s a d-bag but that’s mostly his shirt talkin’ for him.

there's a lot of speculation
that he won’t agree to move off short.
but until he actually gets in a media pissing contest with the team I guess he gets the benefit of the doubt. I mean its not like a guy is going to volunteer to move off the position that he did a lot to make one of the most famous in sports (Yankees shortstop…Center Field used to be where it was at, but we live in different times).
Uhh... anybody remember when Cal was in that position?
He didn’t exactly cotton to it right away, either. Ripken is ok by me. At least he keeps his mouth shut.

"Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning." Churchill,1942-- a rebuilding year.
good game, that one.
It was interesting for MFY to trot out Rivera at the beginning of the ninth inning of a tie game, especially with all the talk in the saber community about closer usage in no-leverage situations. They still have Bruney in the pen but it just seemed like a waste to have Rivera out there.
Yeah, I was a little surprised to see Rivera too. And I'm likin' Brad Ziegler, btw. Why don't *we* have him?

Using your best reliever in a tie game is the smartest way to use him. That’s what many objective-oriented people are saying. Don’t let your best reliever sit with the game on the line. This is why hillman is getting so much crap. Soria hasn’t pitched in like 8 days and they’ve lost games at the hands of dudes like Farnsworth (and worse).

It's pretty conventional for a home team
to bring out their closer in the 9th inning of a tie game.
At that point you bring out your best pitcher and cycle through your bullpen from best-to-worst. There can’t be a save situation.
NO
I want a nice 27 inning game. Lets really tire that bullpen out.

Some news from Roch
Alfredo Simon is having Tommy John surgery. That could end his Orioles career.
Rich Hill will make a rehab start at Frederick this Friday. It doesn’t sound like he’s that far away if he pitches well.

Thinking purely from a GM's perspective
Do you think a team wants to keep a guy just because they like him? Sure, that’s the icing on the cake, but they want someone that’s going to produce.

For who?
Erik’s a guy who doesn’t like doing interviews. He’s not Steve Carlton, building bomb shelters against the coming Zionist invasion. He’s not John Rocker, warning us about everyone who’s not straight and/or white. He’s not Carl Everett, amateur paleontologist, saying dinosaurs didn’t exist.
He’s a guy who was raised speaking French, who didn’t learn conversational English until college, who prefers not to talk in paragraphs to sportswriters. And when healthy, is a great MLB pitcher.
Fans never had a problem with Erik. We knew what we were getting. He wasn’t gonna throw that 10 IP Jack Morris gutsy performance. He was gonna go on the DL once or twice.
But he’s also gonna win 15 games or so, and in about 10 of them, look as good as anybody pitching in the American League.
I’ll take that again in a heartbeat.

BeefShakes is farther up the road. The Cow is in the same spot as a stand that was called Mimi’s. They mostly just did snowballs back in those days.

Dude, I’ve got to admit I know what the rule on a balk is — but I can’t tell by watching what is a balk and what isn’t. It seems very arbitrary or subtle.
Looked like a heckuva pickoff move to me.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
I don't know the letter of the rule
But I thought Danks moved his kick leg too far towards home plate before changing direction and coming back to throw over to first.

Really Gary, you're quibbling with the scoring decision?
I don’t think Jon Danks’s hall of fame case is ever going to hinge on whether he gets credited with a few pickoffs or not. sheesh.
My question is...
Why was Brian even leaning towards second? Not like he was going anywhere. Wait to take your secondary lead when you know the ball’s going home

enough with this nonsense about QBs being good leaders
automatically. Some are. Some obviously aren’t. Brett Favray is a dumb hayseed with a cannon arm who throws the ball up to his athletic receivers during the season and hopes they catch it, then throws his team under the bus for his own selfish reasons during the offseason. Just because you’re white and you played quarterback does not mean you are a leader.

Hear the Sarah Silverman jury duty joke? I read it in a New Yorker profile of her a couple years ago...
It’s not a racist joke, it’s a joke about racism— as she’s had to point out a number of times. One TV comedy show wouldn’t let her use it…unless she changed the ethnic reference to a different group’s epithet. Sort of, “It’s OK to slur these guys, but not these.” If it’s not a racist joke, then you’re not slurring anyone. Strange place, this America…

“It’s not over til it’s over” guy is better if you don’t have to look at him. His radio spot worked. His voice is a little goofy but aren’t we all when it comes to being O’s fans?

Oh, goody, Adam Eaton goes tomorrow.
I may just conveniently forget there’s a game tomorrow.
Matt Wieters took batting practice this morning. There were no survivors.
Can't Bergie just pitch again?
These control specialist guys, they can pitch every day.
I wonder if I can bill Jeff Lurie and Peter Angelos for the years of therapy their teams are going to put me through.
Or at least every other, right?

Luckily for me I have more evening meetings tomorrow night.
I’ll be spared.

Silver linings?
How about Brian Bass—he seems to be settling down.
following the fish theme:
I saw a big, dead fish on the side of the highway today. Surrounded by forest, no water for miles.
Explain that one to me.

Wait, remember the Sopranos episode where Tony takes Meadow on a college tour, which includes Maine...?
They visit Colby (or Bates or Bowdoin, I forget) and Tony bumps into some guy now under Witness Protection who ratted out The Family some years before— so he drops Meadow off at the admissions ofc for an interview, drives off to whack the guy, then drives back to pick her up afterwards.
No wonder Meadow went to Columbia. Just kidding. Anyway, can we assume that your fish may have been the one— OK, maybe stuffed by an icthytaxidermist in the interim— which Tony heaved out the car window after he whacked that guy?
Or is that stretch?

Not good
Lost at the plate and just so-so in the field.
Yeah, Danks a lot.
Get it? I know, all my friends say I should be a comedian.

Remember the depiction of Bratislava from "Euro Trip"
Your comment reminds me of that. “Miami Wice Number One Show!”
Wrong country
Bratislava is in Slovakia. But you knew that, right?
Sorry, couldn’t help myself.
