To be fair

it’s not like Pie’s had much of a shot to get in a groove, not that I think he’s earned one.

Rich Hill seems like he’s on his way out.

AJ update, per Roch

Nothing we don’t already know, but…

Adam Jones has been removed from tonight’s game in the top of the third inning after crashing into the fence while chasing Kevin Youkilis’ home run in the first.

Jones’ right shoulder appeared to absorb most of the impact, and his neck can’t be feeling too good, either.

The Orioles will pass along more information as it becomes available. For now, they’re saying he came out for precautionary reasons and is day-to-day.

Have you ever heard of the University of MD?

I’m just wondering, I always get rebutted about this, but I don’t know why your club hasn’t hired one of the best players in baseball who could help your club….

at which point Tom Davis hung up on him. I’m missing a couple of his “Have you ever heard of…” questions, but dude sounds VERY creepy.

But the France family is doing their damnedest to drive out hard-core fans. Closing the smaller tracks, taking dates from Darlington, half the schedule is cookie-cutter 1/2 mile tracks that are all the same where no one can pass, it’s boring as hell now. And don’t get me started on the later Sunday start times….no NASCAR race should be STARTING at 3 p.m. except for Vegas and the 3 CA races, which are 2 too many. The oval out there SUCKS.

Makeup does a lot

I’ve met Angelina Jolie as part of her work for the UN. And the bags under here eyes should have had Samsonite stamped on them. She was dressed for business, and didn’t stop traffic. She liked nice, in a real-world kind of way. She’d be the nicest looking woman in any normal office. But not Hollywood Starlet hot.

Now, 90 minutes with a makeup artist and the right dress, and she would have had every male in the room ready to throw their mothers under a train for her phone number.

You're the 2nd person I know to have met her

And I am jealous! Man when I was a teenager (like 18ish, so not like a teeny bopper), I had the biggest straight girl crush on her. I loved her SO much. I’m still very loyal to her even though I liked her much better as a crazy gothy bisexual suicidal brother kisser than I do as a charity obsessed baby machine. My other big straight girl crush was on Charlize Theron who has sadly sort of fallen off the face of the earth lately.

She presented at a national Social Studies teacher conference

as part of her work on behalf of refugees. And then did autographs. Must have signed thousands of times in a few hours.

Seems like a genuinely nice person, and isn’t just a name on stationary for the UN. She actually does stuff.

Far Beyond Driven

Not even a question.

The better question is…..

Far Beyond Driven or The Great Southern Trendkill?

that’s an odd comparison to make. The answer, however, is Adam Jones. The answer is always Adam Jones.

You're making this much too difficult.

But I probably would pick AJ over Nicky. Plus, Nick is married. So that immediately goes to Mr. Jones.

That's a tough call

I mean, on looks alone, perhaps. Nick Markakis I think wins that. But I mean, have you ever heard him talk? Dreadfully boring. Adam is not only gorgeous, he has a personality, and he’s just so cool.

Brian seems nicer. And as Stacey said, Nick seems sorta... I don't know.

I think I’d have to go with Brian on that one.
But again, if it were only based on looks, vote to Nick. When he’s clean-shaven. Not a fan of his scruff. Especially that beard he had going on when the new uniforms were revealed.
But vote for Brian.

Your post encapsulates the stereotypical differences in men. Because we’d never even think of that, as far as being nicer. :)

Now that is a tough call.

If we are talking currently, most definitely the Future.
However, if we’re talking younger Brad Pitt, then that’s a very difficult decision to make.
But I think I’m gonna give it to Matt either way. He’s just better. And cooler. And more awesome.
So the verdict is, Matt Wieters.

I'm not a fan

of wearing stuff for a team that isn’t even in the ballpark. Like you always see people at OPACY in Yankees and Red Sox stuff when neither team is there. I get if you just want to take in a ballgame and don’t really have a rooting interest, but just leave that at home and wear something neutral thne.

hats are sorta different

because they’re just a regular part of so many people’s outfits. I’d still rather not see them, but you see so many different hats that you don’t really notice as much. It’s not like this douche bag at an Orioles-Red Sox game a few years ago who was wearing his yankees cap and derek jeter jersey and derek jeter shoes.
