Steve Melewski: A couple of notes
"It means a lot. It's an opportunity and I'm going to take it, a chance to get better and see better pitchers. Some of the best talent in the minor leagues will be there," Xavier Avery said of playing in the AFL.
School of Roch: A scout's take - Part II
On Adam Jones: "He's still a guy that, you never have to throw a strike to him. Why throw a strike? Expand the strike zone. So he's not there totally with that, but he plays harder. There's accountability now. I think that he could be a really terrific player for you."
School of Roch: A scout's take
"I think going forward, the starting staff is there. I think the bullpen has issues, but bullpens are always like that from year to year. But it hasn't been taxed."
Orioles outfielder Nick Markakis faced high expectations and had an up-and-down year - The Sun
"Sometimes, I think, he is a little too patient." Yup, that's Terry Crowley critiquing Nick Markakis. In case you needed any more proof the man is lucky to be in, well, baseball.

I shall leave it to ZK to provide today's Ben Folds Five lyric
"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
BONUS. Here's a whole song for you today.
Fred Jones was worn out,
From caring for his often
Screaming and crying wife,
During the day, but…
He couldn’t sleep at night for fear that she,
In a stupor from the drugs that didn’t ease the pain,
Would set the house ablaze…
with a cigarette.

Theory
Crow owns the Orioles and PA is his puppet. The Crow is the Puppet Master. Remember when Nick met with PA? He really met with the Crow. That is why Nick only says “you know” because he can’t really tell the truth and that is why we never get real answers that make any sense. You know why Pie played LF this year? Because he listened to The Crow. Adorable? Talented? I think not. He is just a puppet. Moldy didn’t listen to his crappy teachings and look where that got him. I bet that’s not even his kid.

Columbus Day is celebrated on different days depending on what calendar you follow as well.
I’m pretty sure I could make a pretty convincing argument that I follow other calendars and celebrate the holiday again.

whats a Nurderer?

"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
murderer.
Columbus’s people would read to a group of people in English “blah blah Queen Isabella, blah blah you better accept God and Jesus as your savior” and scores were killed. Women were raped.
He also understood less about the world being a circle than his contemporaries. He thought the Earth was like 25% smaller.

Whats a circle?
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
yeah, a sphere
or a “circular map” because they didn’t have globes back then, they would actually take their maps, which were largely conceptual outside of Europe, and make a circular tube with it.

Cool
How the hell did he find the Bahamas then? I guess he was a lucky guy.
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
I mean, smart people 2,000 before Columbus knew that the Earth and moon were spherical
Just by measuring shadows of sticks in two different places when the sun was directly overhead.
Columbus was not the first one to sail west and find a “new world.” The Vikings had settlements in Newfoundland at a time. There were Africans who sailed to America. Columbus basically tricked Queen Isabella by giving her the smallest possible estimation of the Earth’s size, an estimation that he knew was probably incorrect.
Columbus was the first person that believed that when he landed in this place, he owned everything he saw, including the people. He was a slave trader, a rapist, and a murderer. He did not contribute to human affairs.

It is pretty awesome to have a random holiday that no one else gets off… of course today I’m at work, and it sucks, so there’s that, too.

Adam Jones with 30 homeruns
If that happened i would probably have a heart attack. Seriously the scout says he has more power than Luke Scott. So where is it?
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
It's kinda difficult for him to drive the pitches he swings at when it's 6 inches off the plate and in the dirt.

He needs better Plate Discipline
or maybe he needs glasses.
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
If Major League taught me anything...
And I believe it did, it’s that glasses magnify your baseball abilities. The whole team should go out and get some Rick Vaughn specs, and then we’d be invinceable.
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.."
remember
when Danny Cabrera got glasses and then had like a half-decent start and everyone was all "HE"S SO GREAT HE JUST NEEDED GLASSES" and then he sucked again.
Man, I wanted him to be good so bad.

That one-hitter in NY bought him about 2 years he didn't deserve
"Walk not down that road, I cannot tell you where it goes. Ask me no more questions - some things you're not meant to know." - The Sword
yup
I still remember walking around absolutely positively certain that we couldn’t give up on a guy who took a no-no into the ninth in Yankee Stadium II….oh, young Andrew, you were so dumb in so many ways…
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
So would anyone be surprised if Jones hit 30-plus home runs next season?
Me. He swings at way too many pitches outside the strike zone. He needs to be way more disciplined, and I’m not sure that will ever happen. I mean I’m sure he can improve (obv), but I think a 30 homer season is a pipe dream.
Librarians are hiding something
Thoughts to ponder today:
Columbus Day is not celebrated in 4 states. Name those states.
I don’t have much tolerance for stupid. Or cheese on food that doesn’t need it. -duck
Without looking at the google
my first guess would be Arizona, the ‘Maverick State’.
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.."
and I think Virginia has Jackson and Lee day today (is that today?)
but they might also celebrate Columbus day…
Other than that, I’m stumped.
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.."

‘celebrate’ daylight savings time… and jackson and lee day is Martin Luther King Day… oh well back to high school for me.
"Tiger got to hunt, bird got to fly; Man got to sit and wonder 'why, why, why?' Tiger got to sleep, bird got to land; Man got to tell himself he understand.."
How do you not celebrate daylight savings time?
Or do they just not celebrate the creation of it?

"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
I'm about ready to send out feelers to all the Eagles fans in my league to see if anyone offers anything of value for him.
and to think, before the season I was feeling quite cocky about my WR corps of DJax, B. Marshall, Harvin, Santana Moss, and Josh Cribbs. Hasn’t exactly panned out how I envisioned it would.

"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
I have Jackson, and I got multiple trade offers for him everyday, but held on to him since he’s my favorite player. I wish I’d taken something for him.
He’ll be alright when/if Vick comes back.
agree
kolb and d-jax just aren’t on the same page. Vick will be the starter going forward and is really looking to play this sunday against ATL. it really comes down to the pain and if he can play through it then he could be on the field. if he plays look for d-jax to have a good game. he still has value and I wouldn’t sell low right now.
Who sells low?
I only see high and that is only in keeper leagues.
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
desperate people
who want to get whatever they can. see pbr above. see me w/ brandon marshall. both recievers should be top 10. the problem is their QB(s), which drop them to maybe top 20. Long term D-Jax has better value IMO.

Wasn't that guy british?
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
Of Indian decent I think...
at least his name sounded of Indian decent, not to mention skin tone… but I am not an expert on such things… but yes he was a british citizen I believe.
The point is, he was not a fat golfing spaniard, and looked even less like one in his costume. I am also not a fat golfing spaniard, and failing to be near Spain, or a golf course on Halloween, if I were to decide to go as Miguel Angel Jimenez, I would have to spend most of the night saying “Miguel Angel Jimenez… the golfer… from Spain… the guy with the ponytail and the cigar… fine nevermind… I’m f***ing Chewbacca, kid… what are you? A fairy princess? Real original… now take your candy and get the hell off my porch.”

Mark Reynolds?
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
he strikes out alot too so maybe he is just perfect
"If people don't want to come out to the ballpark, how are you going to stop them?" Yogi Berra
yeah, but he only K's a lot because he BB's a lot
if he went up and swung at the first pitch every time, he probably wouldn’t have as much of a K problem
Jake Fox knows best!
when the pitcher pitches you the ball, only two things can happen:
1) a hit
2) not a hit
So, if you don’t swing the bat, you automatically get the bad option (#2). So, you need to swing the bat almost 100% of the time. The only not to swing the bat is in order to psyche out the pitcher (and potentially even the catcher if you are a good enough psycher!).

Ok, next topic
favorite October/Halloween movies?
I can start with the three that I ALWAYS watch every last week of October without fail: Charlie Brown, Evil Dead 2, and Shaun of the Dead. I am, however, looking for more options! None of those movies are particularly scary, I guess, but they are a good time.
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
well, see I was thinking about that
but I think it’s a christmas movie…it’s sort of an in-betweener.
"See, uh, people ski topless here while smoking dope, so irony's not really a, a high priority. We haven't had any irony here since about, uh, '83, when I was the only practitioner of it. And I stopped because I was tired of being stared at."
Its set at Christmas, but i think it identifies far more as a Halloween movie
I’ve watched it on every halloween i think for like 10 years.
That movie always scared me.
Ruined Christmas for me.

I’m pretty impressed with what I’ve seen so far. The UI seems to be a love it/hate it sort of thing, and I fall into the “love” camp. The UI seems very fast and smooth when shown in action.
I’m a satisfied Sprint customer, and the only Sprint device shown today was the HTC 7 Pro. It looks like an upgraded Touch Pro 2, which is a very good thing in my eyes. Won’t be released until 2011, so I’m going to wait at least that long until making a decision, but I definitely like what I see.

And I'm glad you posted something
or I’d have driven to Philly Friday and been REALLY pissed.

You're welcome. It came up on my FB feed
but I figured I’d post it here since, if you are like me, that shit can get buried pretty quickly by all of the other things you may follow.

Tied the knot yesterday
and the wife (very strange to type that) made me some incredible Orioles cuff links with the cartoon bird. I’ll try to post a pic of them later. The O’s also made appearances in both of our written vows. haha

Congratulations!
And that sounds like an awesome gift to receive.

You'll get used to it
about as soon as you stop fiddling with the wedding ring. :)

john gibbons doesn't interview for positions
he shows up and decides if the team has permission to hire him.
I've been playing baseball since I was six years old, so that's 40 years I've been on a baseball field and around a baseball field, and so our opinions are formulated through facts, not fiction, not their little chat room jargon.
did anyone watch the gubernatorial debate?
Ehrlich pretty much controlled the entire flow of it, but didn’t look all that good doing it.
I suppose this will be the playoffs thread.

The perfect mashup: Halloween + cupcakes.

OK, so I met Arnie. Sort of.
Like I met Reagan (with the first US-USSR h.s. exchangees): cameras roll, he talks, then he stands there, you file by, no handshake. Still, kinda cool, and good for your students.
Arnie was a little more active than The Napper, actually. Sorry, The Gipper. Yes, the Governator actually moved into the crowd (maybe 200 peeps) and did shake some hands. Not mine, but he came up to like 4 ft away— I coulda knocked down the Austrian ambassador (nice middle-aged lady) and grabbed Arnie’s mitt, shouting “I didn’t pay taxes in CA for 10 years to watch him shake hands with YOU, b#tch!”, but they seemed to be having a real gemuchlicht kinda chat, so I didn’t.
I also felt like shouting “Ahahahahaha, Stanford 37-USC 35”— but he’s not really from SoCal anymore (and maybe he doesn’t even follow fb, come to think of it). So I didn’t ,again. You get older, you do less yelling. Count on it.
I did take a couple shots with the mobile phone camera (nice ‘n’ blurry, of course) and ate about 3 wks worth of taxpayer-provided food at the buffet tables. The guac was mucho good, but NOT from CA avocados (I asked). OK, I had 3 gin ‘n’ tonics, too. Anyway, thank you for paying your taxes.

Oh, and C. Columbus was a brave explorer who brought superior technology, Eurocentrism and new communicable diseases
with him — as unavoidable if regrettable parts of the package. That’s what happens when civilizations collide. Everybody in America came from somewhere else, and some came less amicably than others. Immigration is destiny. It’s the once-you’re-here part we can actually do something about, and we need to do a better job of it.
Anyway, celebrating Columbus Day is probably best done by R. Crumb abd His Cheap Suit Seranaders. [WARNING: high-level scatolgy, obscenities offensive to some]. But yeah, it’s funny…

I squeezed by Ahnold at a brunch place in Santa Monica a few years ago....
….without realizing it was him.
Dude is like 5’2.
