Q&A with O's manager Trembley - baltimoresun.com
Dave Trembley is asked questions, and he provides answers. Although I don't think he's really going to be answering any of your algebra or chemistry questions. Sorry. -duck
O's should find a way for Pie to play - baltimoresun.com
Peter Schmuck channels his inner Stacey and says the Orioles must find a way to get Felix Pie at-bats. He fails to mention Felix's adorableness, so points off for that. -duck

Good interview with Moeller.
If there is a “mentor” on this team, it is more likely him than Millwood, although Kevin learned from some good pitchers too. Moeller’s comments about the pitchers he has caught over the years is more than just interesting.
are we gonna have a thread for the hockey game?

Best article Peter Schmuck ever wrote
Except for that comment about Pie being good for trading.
"It feels like home,’’ Pie said. "All my friends are here."
team's value adorablity (is that a word?)

Stacey...
can you fix my typo on the Six Storylines link? That semicolon is driving me nuts, and I can’t fix it on my phone.

i fixed it
but i also took the liberty to add a serial comma.
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
AP Style manual says....
no comma before the word “and” in a series. Caused me all sorts of problems in grad school. When you write for a living using that book for almost 4 years, it can be tough to switch modes.

oh i know the AP doesn't like it
and i didn’t use it for years. but then i found out my wife was a big fan, even after journalism school, and i happily switched back.
plus, AP is a shite organization.

so just to be clear,
i wasn’t calling it an error. i was just imposing my own style on your posting in an effort to give you a playful grammatical slap on the butt.

And I thought The Boise St. turf was bizarre, that's nothing

Hey the Miami Herald says this Wieters guy might be good!
Hilarious, Dr. Jones calls Wieters a tall drink of water
Someone posted about Centsports.com the other day
And I just wanted to say thank/screw you. I am completely addicted now. I’m up to a whopping 76 cents after 3 days.
For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, here’s the link. Basically they give you 10 cents for free to start and you get to bet for free. If you make it over $20 bucks you can cash out. You never pay anything into it and if you lose your 10 cents, they give you 10 more. Pretty cool stuff.
Its terrible isnt it?
The other week i was up until 2:30AM watching Nevada-Idaho. i have no reason to care about that basketball game.
I signed up to
I’ve got .35, if a few NBA games go my way, .50.

True
but if we all signed up for a person and had one person sign up for us, we’d all get someone. Of course that involves alot of work to figure out who gets who, and then it’ll suck when half the people dont bother using their accounts at all. It’s a nice thought though.
Its possible
but i know i’m already signed on for someone else, and im pretty sure you cant change. If anyone else who hasnt signed up yet wanted to organize it, by all means. or you could always just sign up with me. :)
just send a request, i'm micheal
just came up w/ a randon name.

Also, i had a tennis bet going (cant help myself) and the other person retired halfway though the 1st set
apparently thats a push, i feel sorta ripped off.
I just got back from a JSA convention.
It was great. For those of you who don’t know what that is, it’s Junior State of America. It’s political debate.
It’s usually very liberal but we had to team up with the region from the south this time so it was more balanced. That’s nice, I guess…

ok, that part with the inflated stuff was loopy.
