Around SBN: What If This Is It For The Celtics? End Of An Era Looming

Friday Bird Droppings

Recaps from yesterday's game can be found at The SunOrioles.com, and MASNsports (with post-game Buck).

Orioles notebook: Orioles Corey Patterson looks to make most of scant playing time
"You just kind of mix things up, keep yourself mentally from not being bored and keep your focus. So when you do get that call and you are in there, like I am [Thursday], you are ready."

Orioles Insider: Wigginton, Blanco and Showalter on the 6th inning jawing session 
“I guess he wasn’t happy with the play and that was it,” Wigginton said. “I just know the ump called him out and there was one out and nobody on.” Nothing to see here, move on, people...

Texas skipper praises Buck's work with O's | orioles.com: News

Too many Orioles fans whining about winning | The Daily Times

IN THE MINORS

Orioles Insider: Minor league game recaps -- Aug. 19
Tyler Townsend came off the DL for Frederick.

Steve Melewski: A note on Klein from Aberdeen
"If a pitcher can look good in a non-game situation, I'm told that O's third-round pick Dan Klein did this afternoon at Aberdeen. Klein threw a live batting practice session today. His fastball was in the low 90's (yes we have a BP velocity report) and he touched 95 once. The off-speed stuff showed some good movement as well."

Steve Melewski: No AFL for Machado
"[Manny] Machado, and O's fifth-round pick Conner Narron, who is currently playing in the Gulf League, are expected to join Aberdeen after the GCL season ends on August 28th. Aberdeen's season runs through September 5th." But he won't be going to the Arizona Fall League.

O's MacPhail likes what he sees in Keys - The Frederick News-Post Online
"I saw LJ have a good day and Rowell have a good day while I was here," he said. "You can't help but be impressed by (outfielder Kyle) Hudson's speed, and I saw (catcher Brian) Ward throw out a couple of guys."

Agreed

But I’d like to see him do something. Aberdeen is a great start, AFL would be a bit much but maybe it shows Machado what he’s aiming for.

he's in Sarasota right now

with Connor Narron. They’ll both go to Aberdeen after the GCL season ends. Don’t know if Manny’ll get any game time in Sarasota.

This isn’t as big a deal in baseball

The last couple of drafts there has been a great #1, but most years there isn’t that big a difference between the top picks to want to end last.

Football and Basketball is a lot different and the last few seasons Hockey has had some great #1

They are really good figs

But in the summer we have more figs than we know what to do with. My stepdad picks figs every night when he gets home from work and he and my mom take them to work with them the next day and give them out to everyone because it’s way too many figs for just our family. I went over there for dinner last night and they gave me three brown lunch bags full of figs to give away to people because they both took today off. And they only stay good for a couple days, tops, so you gotta do something with them.

I used to have these neighbors that grew all sorts of weird peppers and stuff in these pots in front of their house. Not like, in a yard or anything, just on the sidewalk in front of their rowhouse. One night we were walking home from the bar and my roommate’s boyfriend grabs a couple of these small purple peppers and just pops them into his mouth. I’m not sure what kind of pepper they were, but they were bright purple, they looked like they were dipped in purple paint.

He chews them for a couple seconds and then all of the sudden he’s screaming. Screaming on the sidewalk in my neighborhood at 2 a.m. He runs to our house and we get inside and my roommate pours him this giant glass of water and he’s screaming, “It’s not helping! It’s making it worse!” So I got him a giant glass of milk (which is what we used to bring people at my restaurant if they ate a serrano and got upset) and he chugs it, then he takes the entire gallon of milk and starts chugging it.

When he finally calmed down he had blisters on his tongue.

I've had basically that situation happen to me

I had a migraine so severe I was vomiting, I had turned so pale the nurse said she’d never seen anyone that pale who hadn’t lost a lot of blood, and I could not walk. I was taken to the hospital where they hooked me to an IV, had me lay there starving for 5 hours until I finally fell asleep, then when I woke up the migraine was gone. So then they took me for a CAT scan and, surprise surprise, now that it was gone, the CAT scan showed nothing. Of course it took them another couple of hours to determine that, so it was like 3 AM when I got home (it was around 7 PM when I got to the hospital).

I’ve also once had a migraine for 3 straight days before. It WOULD NOT go away. I basically slept, woke up to eat what I could, and then went back to sleep for those 3 days. Each time I woke up the migraine was still there.

I do yoga

I used to go to yoga twice a week at my gym and I loved it. When I first started I felt like I would never be able to do it correctly, but after a few months my flexibility had improved drastically, plus it made my posture better and was much more stress reducing than any other workout I’ve done.

I had to cancel my gym membership for financial reasons but I found a really good yoga dvd that is fully customizable, you can do their canned sessions or pick every individual pose you want. I was doing it three or four times a week at home but got out of the habit about a month ago. I should really start again.

I recommend it though, especially if you find a class with an instructor that you really like and whose workouts match up with what you’re trying to do. We had this old guy fill in for us a couple times in my class and he was way into the spiritual side of things and it drove me bananas.

It depresses me

that with all the hard work you do on this site, you can’t afford a gym membership. It seems unjust.

I could afford it if I wanted to. I just choose to afford other things instead.

Right.

I hope that didn’t come of as offensive. When I think about how much awesome this site is, mostly due to you (and I think some other dudes?), I imagine you reaping commiserate rewards. Like having your own private L.A. Fitness with a reserved parking spot and Felix Pie moonlighting as your personal trainer.

Are there many greater eating pleasures than a fresh bag of Utz potato chips?

Top five, surely.

When I was a kid

we used to buy a bag of fritos at 7-11 and open the bag and load up on chilli and cheese. No one ever said the free chilli and cheese was only for hotdogs.

You ladled the chili and hot cheese directly into the bag?

That seems like a bio hazard waiting to happen.

Of course.

No ladle though. 7-11 chilli and cheese comes out of a nozzle.

Like a gas pump?

Pulling up to a gas station and being able to dispense hot cheese on whatever I want while I’m filling the tank does sound pretty utopic.

But does it have to be?

Is what I am saying. This is America. Don’t make people walk fifteen feet into a store when they can just squirt some liquid cheese flavored product directly into their travel mug from the safety and comfort of their SUV.

Just nitpicking

but amperage is what kills you. Not power.

Yea it hurts.

Amperage causes heart failure though. Seven tenths of an amp can kill a human. I was an electrician on helicopters in the marine corps and got shocked all the time.

I cant remember what the voltage was exactly

but it was definitely measured in kV. I was modifying a piece of lab equipment that involved exposing the high voltage source in a manner that they very specifically tell you not to do. With the amount of wires around and liquid being sprayed into the machine, charge was constantly building up in random areas and then usually discharged into my hand.

Now in your defense

less amperage will be a direct result of less power unless you increase voltage by adding more resistance resistance. Make sense?

It's not cool

for a grown man to be all like “Call me Rocket!” It is fine if other people want to voluntarily call you that, but you shouldn’t be all self aware of it. It’s one step down from making up your own nickname.

That's quite a handicap for Twitter.

You only get 140 characters and you’re willingly surrendering 4% of that space to “signing” it when everyone’s already aware it’s you? I don’t think I could stand to be so constrained.

Then again, I’m not on Twitter to begin with because I don’t think I could stand to be so constrained. Brevity is not one of my hallmarks.
