Matusz is making progress in Spring Training! Well I should hope so. I enjoy the part about Matusz and Tillman being boyfriends, though. -Stacey

The Kevin Millwood Agenda
More sunshine being blown up my rear end about Kevin Millwood. Now I'm about one article away from punching someone in the face. -Stacey
Nick Markakis is also in the best shape of his life!
This one is for O'sFan21. -Stacey
Brian Cashman: The Orioles are a sleeping giant.
Preach it, Brian. -Stacey
I included this video today because when I was reading the quote by Trembley in the Nick Markakis link above, one of his quotes was,"He's a natural, but it doesn't come because he doesn't work at it." I read it five times and I KNEW Dave Trembley wasn't saying what it sounded like to me, which is that Nick is talented but he doesn't work at it and so you don't see everything he has. This video has the same quote and when you hear the way Dave says it aloud it's obvious that he's saying he's a natural but don't think that means he doesn't work hard.

I thought this was the most important part of that Roch article:

Roch,
Oriole most likely to use “That’s what she said…”?

That's brilliant.

The zen brilliance of Dave Trembley
We’re going to have somebody to hit in front of Nick and we’re going to have somebody to hit behind Nick this year.
That man is a genius. Genius, I tell you!

USA v. Canada today
I, for one, am stoked to see Parise and Langenbrunner (most likely now on the 1st line together) going against Brodeur. Good stuff.
I wanna see if brooks orpik's gonna check crosby.

Man,
I get so tired of shit like this.
Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind". Basically, it's made up of two separate words—"mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It's a mystery, and that's why so is mankind.

What will we do
when it’s June 1 and Millwood has a 4.9 ERA? It’ll be really too bad because of course all of these young pitchers will want to follow his lead (that is why we got him after all!) and pitch decidedly mediocrely.
In the meantime, I really do think I need to punch something really hard. I can’t take even one more standard, thoughtless, cliched spring training byline that is not just a joke, but a joke of a joke of a joke. Seriously, I’m going to hurt someone.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
you mean you don't think this is Pulitzer-worthy?
One reporter spotted Tillman and Brad Bergesen walking together as we exited the clubhouse and asked Tillman whether he broke up with Matusz.
“We’re just trying to make him jealous,” Bergesen quipped.
Fun group of guys.

Yeah it's gross.
I never understood how anybody could play while doing that shit. I think it must do different things to different people. Whenever I did dip or chew it had me on my ass pretty much. I could never have pitched with it in.
A few times last year
I noticed him chewing bubblegum so I was hoping he was going to give it up.
"It feels like home,’’ Pie said. "All my friends are here."
Whatever makes him happy
I’m in no position to tell anyone what not to do

I'm watching Finding Nemo.
The beginning is really sad. I love this movie though. Adorable.

It'd be better if
Albert Brooks was playing Marlin like he played Hank Scorpio.

When I first saw it
it scared me silly. I still like the movie, espically when Dory talks in whale. Seems like something only Ellen could think of and do well.

Oh me too.
The beginning with the barracuda and the shark chase freaked me out.

Cashman nailed it spot on
Now he’s filling in, taking advantage of the free agent market to protect his young talent and wait for them to pop.
And i can never get past the irony that the yankees GM is the cash man.

He apparently signed a minor league deal with the Sox earlier in the winter
but they cut him so he can go play in Japan.
Finally! Hockey on NBC, not CNBC or MSNBC!!!

Brian Cashman: The Orioles are a sleeping giant.
And I remember Yanks and RS saying the same thing about 5 or 6 years ago. If I took the time, I’m sure I dig up the quotes in Lexis-Nexis.
Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Man in Black: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.
well, remember
in 2005 we were actually decent for half a season. the problem was, the giant passed out after a while.
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
Yeah, but I don’t think anyone was terribly optimistic of us keeping that up for a whole season. Our offense was just sick for 2-3 months before falling back to earth.
Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?

Even Sosa was contributing offensively at first.

Oh my God I cannot wait for the season to start
All these videos and articles are great but they are such a tease!!! I fucking hate winter!! That is all.
Ovechkin!
shades of Scott Stevens… that was a HUGE open ice hit. Wow.
Oh yea, I love that it was on Jagr too. Awesome.
This game is kind of a blast from the past
Jaromir Jagr on one team and Sergei Federov on another team. I feel like I’ve got out my old Sega Genesis playing NHL 94. Those guys have been around for a long time.

True
It’s kinda crazy to see Federov playing.I remember seeing him when I first got into hockey (maybe ‘91?) and the guy is still going. It’s surreal.
OMFG STUPID FUCKING NBC
They are tape-delaying the USA-Canada game out here to show the russian game. What fucking idiots. Like I want to watch the game three hours later and ignore the internet all afternoon so I don’t find out what happened?
It’s a wonder NBC is in business, given how much they screw up their programming. Someone should be fired.

remember it for your PSATs

those were so stupid
wasnt anything like the actual SAT.
by twistedlogic on Feb 21, 2010 7:11 PM EST up reply actions
I'm an ACT person.
Hated the PSATs. Mostly because I bombed them and did very well on the PLAN (ACT practice test), but that’s beside the point.

yea i did awful on the PSAT
and did very well on the actual SAT. So clearly, the PSAT is bogus. Although probably not as dumb as the GRE.
by twistedlogic on Feb 22, 2010 12:19 AM EST up reply actions
GRE?
What’s that?

The test you take to get into grad school
Graduate Record Examination I think it stands for. I need to take it sometime in the near future.

wouldnt worry too much
i bought one of those books. didnt open it up until a week before the exam and still did quite well.

3X a week at OPACY
Who knows what else he was doing.
"It feels like home,’’ Pie said. "All my friends are here."
Three times a week
is a pretty normal workout routine. You gotta rest…unless you’re on steroids.
Bedard says he doesn't care and thinks goals are pointless.
Yes and no
You can work different muscle groups on different days. That way you can work out more than just 3x a week. After a few weeks your body starts repairing faster.

Ummm nah.
3 times a week is a normal workout routine for a normal person working a desk job. Not a professional athlete.
Brian Roberts laughs in the face of 3X a week
That is why Brian Roberts is one jacked little dude.
