Recaps of yesterday's 1 inning game (because basically, that's what it was) can be found at baltimoresun.com, MASNsports.com (with post-game Dave), orioles.com, and SFGate.com.
Matusz talks about his outing - MASNsports.com
"Obviously it was tough to give up four in the first. But you need to try and keep the team in the game. I got into a very nice groove, pitching down and my two-seamer had good action. I was consistent for a while." After the first inning he was. But that first inning - ugh. -duck
Atkins snaps lengthy long-ball drought | orioles.com: News
Garrett Atkins hit a home run last night. Bringing the Orioles total home runs from first basemen to ... zero, since he was DH last night. -duck
June 9 return looks unlikely for Baltimore Orioles second baseman Brian Roberts - baltimoresun.com
"I think the scariest part was when they started testing for stuff just to find out what it was," said Roberts. Gee, can't understand why. Anyway, Roberts is not expected back by June 9, the date he could return from the disabled list. -duck

Orioles Insider: Minor league game recaps - May 26
Norfolk didn't play, Bowie won as Zach Britton threw 7 scoreless innings, Frederick won as Rich Zagone threw a complete game (they let them do that in the minors? Awesome!), and Delmarva lost despite Steve Bumbry going 2-for-4 with a double, stolen base run score and a RBI. -duck

Of course
B Rob shouldn’t be back 6/9. We already rushed him back to lose him once. They should consider it 2/26 for him, just starting the Spring Training he never had.
Has there ever been a cooler Oriole than Eddie Murray? I mean, just straight up cool. Like a bad, suave dude. You know what I'm sayin'. COOL. SC 7/24/08
luke wears glasses?
maybe he should wear them during the game so he can, you know, actually hit the ball. although i have glasses too and never wear them.

he's very complex
If only I could teach him to love the gays I’m sure we could live happily ever after together.
Are you surprised?
He and Jesus have a very close relationship. And obviously Jesus is totally cool with the whole alienating folks because they’re different thing…
Rub some $100 bills on it, you sell-out. -duck
Well I don't know for sure
I’ve never heard him say anything about it either way. It’s just an assumption I’ve made based on his religious beliefs.
Being religious doesn't make one a homophobe
Yes plenty of ‘religious’ people hold absurd beliefs and hate on teh gays but that doesnt mean all do. Broad assumptions dont help anybody.

Eh I think it's a pretty safe assumption.
Dude loves Jesus and guns – the odds of him liking gays are about the same as him being a member of PETA.

Well now
duck loves Jesus and guns and he doesn’t think there is anything wrong with being gay. But it’s just the kind of evangelical, outspoken nature of Luke Scott that makes me assume what I do. I’ve known plenty of people like that in my life and they’re not usually gay friendly.
Right
I should have clarified the evangelical aspect. Also doesn’t Duck only shoot at things that don’t move? Don’t think Luke is in the same boat.

But you are still making a MAJOR assumption.
Just sayin’
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
You're right, and maybe it's not fair to Luke
But I spent the first 22 years of my life surrounded by people who remind me 100% of Luke (based on my limited exposure to him, obviously). And while they all had a number of fine qualities, their attitude about homosexuality wasn’t one of them.
But I’ll try not to voice assumptions like that in the future (try being the operative) when I don’t have any proof.
Reading that article reminded me,
I might be getting a job this summer in one of the nicest restaurants in Philly. unbelievably excited.
If it is Morimoto or Davio's I'll be jealous of your staff meal like crazy

I’ve never been to either, but those are Marc Vetri’s places, right? IIRC, Vetri is a nearly impossible reservation on short notice.

Yeah, apparently my dad know someone who's good friends with him
Osteria’s a little less formal and focuses more on stuff like pizzas and charcuterie. not sure which i’d rather work at.
Well, it depends on what you're looking to do
If you’re hoping to become a chef, you’ll probably learn more at Vetri. But both were in the top 5 in the latest Philadelphia magazine top 50 so you can hardly go wrong there.

well technically i'm hoping to become a lawyer lol
since i’m going to law school and everything. But i can imagine the situation where i get in there and it totally changes my mind.
heh
I’m not so good with the biographies. Well, good luck in any case, with both the law and the summer gig.

Originally i was just looking for a summer restaurant job because i couldnt find any legal work

Yeah, it is tough sledding out there
All the big firms are cutting back on associates here. My brother is lucky he got an offer right before the economy collapsed.

It helps that he's spent the year since he finished law school
clerking for judges and drawing a stipend from the firm rather than working there.

the entire "big law firm" paradigm is broken
and the economy coming back ain’t gonna fix it.
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
What paradigm ain't?
It isn’t like the compensation model in my business is working either.
To be understood is to be a prostitute. ~ Fernando Pessoa
not sure what you do....
A lot of business models suffer during a downturn and then thrive again during upturns.
In other words, they’re viable.
But the “big, corporate law firm” model has been deteriorating since all first-year salaries pretty much doubled overnight during the internet boom.
Now it takes 2-3 years longer for an associate to become profitable at a firm than it used to. The problem is compounded by the fact that clients saw the uptick and wondered why they were paying recent law school grads, who know virtually nothing, the same amount they used to pay for 2nd- and 3rd-year experience. So they tightened up their lawyer budgets.
So now firms had majorly increased expenses in terms of salaries and majorly decreased income in terms of client cutbacks. And to compensate, they have cut back on vacation time and other perqs, decreased training and development (which helps lawyers grow into their shoes), and increased billable hours minimums. The result is that many new associates are miserable and leave the big firms for smaller, boutique jobs or in-house counsel jobs before they ever contribute to a firm’s profits, let alone become rainmakers.
But the firms can’t cut back on the major cause of the problem (the initial oversized salary bump) for fear of killing their recruiting departments.
It’s an industry-wide problem with no easy solution in sight. I’m not saying that all the big firms are going to implode tomorrow, but the whole sector has changed significantly in the last decade, and it’s going to be a while before things shake out.
"I doubt he could reach [second base]...mostly cuz his fucking arm was in Aybar's nuts." – twistedlogic
addendum
not to bee all gloom and doom:
on the plus side, the big firms all know this now—it’s been well documented—and many are taking creative steps to address the issue.
it took a long time for them to pivot, but now that’s exactly what they’re doing.

lots of different ideas out there
Tiering associates into partner and non-partner tracks, larger numbers of smaller (more nimble) offices, emphasizing increased skillsets over billable hours, etc.

disclaimer
Virtually everything I know comes from my wife, who got her JD in ’93, and has spent the last two decades not being a lawyer, but works in the profession.
My take based on everyone I’ve seen going through this (I used to teach the LSAT) is this: if you have a passion about something that makes you want to get a law degree (whether that’s litigating, or working for a nonprofit, or whatever), then by all means do it. But if it’s just a kind of default, “I dunno what I want to do, I guess I’ll just go to law school,” then don’t. I’ve seen too many people on the latter track wake up in their 30s (or even later) and wonder what happened to their life.

Hopefully it will last just long enough for my brother to get his loans under control.

A friend of mine is a chef in Philly
I can’t tell if he really likes it or really hates it.
"The wise man saith, 'Put all your eggs in the one basket and--WATCH THAT BASKET.'"
I worked in a kitchen for a few years in late high school / early college
It takes a certain kind of person to really enjoy it. Its fun, but i’ve never been so exhausted in my life.
my bro was a chef for 10 years or so....
….the last set of them in philly.
he gave it up because it’s pretty hard to do that and have a good family life at the same time. he’s a middle school teacher now.

I forget the pitcher a few years back who broke his elbow while throwing in a game, rehabbed, came back and did it again. I just remember them showing the video and you could hear it break.

Broke his arm, rehabbed, broke it again, and had it amputated. He had cancer, though, so special case.

came home with 7 Nolan bobbleheads and sold a bunch of ’em on ebay. Then you could take that money and buy more tickets to games you actually want to go to and say fuck you to the system.

Holy crap
Someone is bidding almost $25 for one of those!

I'm telling you...
I have this thing where I need to get all the statium released bobbles. They all go right around $25 a pop on ebay. I can’t believe the Nolan one is going for as much seeing as it’s a mini and he’s not even on the team, but I guess if ya gotta have it ya gotta have it.
BTW, I currently have:
Ripken (83 WS catch)
Palmer/Weaver
Melvin Mora (fits together with B-Rob)
B-Rob (fits with Mora; both the regular and recalled “black” version)
Markakis
AJ

How did you get a black B-Rob?
I thought they were secreted away and destroyed.

They supposedly were
but a few made it out (people who work in the warehouse and whatever) and sold online. Ah, the bobblehead black market…

I actually did come home with two extra Nolan bobbles
I mean, extra than the one I already promised you. I was walking out of that joint with an arm full of Nolans.
take a number

Just making sure
I’ve seen you coach a wrestling meet. (;-)
You can't fix stupid. Stupid is forever.
lol
I can’t decide how I feel about that.

I know its a classic
but i never really dug the prosciutto and melon. If I’m not eating it straight, its with some really good cheese.
i don't normally
but we happened to have some crazy good cantalope today. i had to combine.
note: there was a cheese chaser.

melon is one of those foods that does not require cheese
although i do love me some cantaloupe

I'm watching a tv show right now and its at this very moment showing a dish with lobster and cheese
I think you’d be horrified.
see lobster is one of those foods that can go with cheese
melon, on the other hand, is not.

just to be clear
I didn’t have melon with cheese.
I had melon with prosciutto and a cheese chaser.

well,
I’d put a hard cheese, like a pecorino or the like, over a seafood dish. But failing that, I kind of agree with you.

I’d left it out for an hour, too,so it was at room temp.

IT WASN'T *ON* THE FOOD!!!
IT WAS A CHASER!
WHAT DO YOU HAVE AGAINST CHEESE AS A CHASER?

Beer is a chaser
Not cheese.

I'll never agree
that there is something cheese absolutely will not go with. It all depends on how talented the chef is.
