PrintBaltimore Orioles at Tampa Bay Rays, May 15, 2011 1:40 PM EDT
Yesterday, I mocked the Orioles relentlessly in this space, intimating that there was little chance of them being competitive. They responded with a phenomenal performance with unheralded types such as Jake Fox and Mark Reynolds providing offense, and 3E1N having a spectacular outing.
So like Nuke LaLoosh avoiding sex with Annie, I'm not going to mess with a streak.
Although primarily used as a reliever this year, Andy Sonnanstine has a 2.87 ERA and a WHIP of 1.27. He will probably be masterful today.
Jake Arrieta is 0-1 lifetime versus Tampa Bay, with a 6.35 ERA. He will probably suck today.
Matt Wieters, who will be back in the lineup, is hitting .227 on the road this year. He will probably suck as well today.*
The Orioles are 3-9 in series finales, and 1-4 in series finales on the road. They will probably suck balls a lot today.
Winner of this game takes a 1-game lead in the season series.
Ummm, Go Orioles?
*Please ignore Wieters' career slash line of .340/.395/.505 against the Rays.

Be sure to do something fun between now and barbri. Trust me, you’ll need something awesome to look back on for the 2 months or so you’re a slave to crash course outlines and MBE questions.

Decided against BarBri for this relatively new online course
They had really high pass rates since it started, the schedule is more flexible, and its 1100 dollars cheaper.
Excuse the ignorance - "BarBri"?

bar exam review course
BarBri being the most popular company offering one. 2 months of pretty much constant studying and costs about $3,000.
Ouch! That's ridiculous.

Cool well I wish you luck
If I could give any advice I would say to just stay steady every day and don’t work while you’re prepping. The two things that cause people not to pass are trying to work and burning themselves out early on in the study process.
Don’t slack off or anything but also don’t be afraid to put it down once in awhile. Trying to study 12 hours a day or something crazy is counterproductive.

You'll find something
Just be open minded about what you’ll take. It’s unfortunately pretty hard to get permanent attorney jobs right now but you can find plenty of temporary legal work to pay the bills. That’s what I’ve been doing for the past year.
You also want to be careful of who you end up working for. There are some real assholes out there who will prey on young attorneys who don’t know any better. If you start somewhere and it doesn’t feel right don’t be afraid to get out.

The problem is i have a very specialized background at this point
I’m not really qualified for a lot of the generic lawyer work thats available. I largely just have to wait for things to thaw a little more and hope for the best.
what's your specialized background?

I was largely indifferent, thinking the E. Colo. and TX problems were anomalies
Then (a) I learned that Dick (“Go F#ck Yourself”) Cheney was the de facto chief lobbyist for the nat’ gas industry while sitting vice president; and (b) said industry could legally despoil your property without securing a lease from you. Thanks, Dick.

Arrieta is pitching alright, but as usual he's only going 6 because of pitch count.

Late to the show here.
What two runs did we leave out there?
Also, where is this ump’s strike zone? The Rays pitchers better not get those perfect-looking knee-high pitches either.

Wonderful, the day went pretty much perfectly
It was rainy during the day but cleared up nicely before the ceremony, which was outside of course. And the reception was on a boat cruising the bay. The best man’s speech was about fourteen hours long and featured multiple props, mine was about 90 seconds and made people cry, so I win.
succinct is always the way to go with toasts
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
the groom's family seemed to think they were at his roast, not his wedding
In addition to the best man, who was his brother, we also had to hear from his father AND two of his friends.
Was this during the actual wedding?
At mine we had no toasts during the actual wedding reception – we did them at the rehearsal dinner. We had a bunch of people talk, but most were brief.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
during the reception
We were just supposed to have toasts from me and the best man, but then the DJ for some reason asked if anyone else wanted to say anything and apparently the groom’s friends and family took that as the opportunity to never stop shutting up. And even though his father supposedly had no idea he’d have the chance to speak that didn’t stop him from having a two-page printout at the ready.
So, how was St. Michael's?

I just got a new one in the mail that was waiting for me when I got home so I was off the grid all weekend. The town seemed cute, though, from what I saw.
haha that's the same word my boyfriend used
he did not say it as a good thing. I don’t think we’ll be staying in another bed and breakfast anytime soon.
That's a shame
There are some cute ones in Maryland. Even in Reisterstown (sp?). Stayed at one there a while back, and it was beyond cute. There was a restaurant down the road in a converted RR station, and the couple who owned the B&B got us reservations, the whole deal. Make him give it another chance.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
It was cute, just not his thing
This one had eight rooms that were all filled with our friends so it wasn’t bad, but the idea of sharing living space including breakfast with strangers was not his idea of a wonderful way of spending a vacation. And I wasn’t a fan of waking his cranky ass to make sure he got food before they stopped serving it either.
haha they would DEFINITELY not be his thing
He and social situations with people he doesn’t know very well (or at all) are the top of his list of things he never wants to do. He was a trooper this weekend, though, since I was with the bride almost the entire time. He even had lunch with my parents without me.

usually when somebody takes out multiple pages of notes there are audible groans. I forgot that our dads both gave toasts during the actual reception – no notes though.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
My parents, and her parents, didn't say a word
And my best man dreaded the speech, so his toast was about 15 seconds long. Laura never even considered having her sister, her matron of honor, say anything.
"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
I didn't mind saying a few words for my friend
Her husband’s family (which you can tell just from these comments) are a little larger than life and she’s pretty much on her own other than her friends.
Damn, that came out wrong
I didn’t mean to disparage her having you speak. Sorry. Based on my SSS of 1 wedding, I had no idea most couples had anyone speak besides a toast from the best man. My bad.

when I had to give a speech last year I was VERY nervous, so I just got a little buzzed. We didn’t want to ask either of our friends to speak at the reception, but both our dads are very comfortable with public speaking so they wanted to.
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
haha I was worried that I'd be so nervous that I'd drink way too much
So my bf was on official duty to make sure I only had two drinks before getting up there.
both his dad and his brother had multiple computer generated pages of notes
I had what was in my head. Again, I win.
When I did my brother's I kept revising throughout the week
always getting shorter. Even dropped a couple words in my head between the wedding and reception. The maid of honor basically listed ever fun thing she and the bride had ever done together.
Yeah
while it’s mostly for the bride and groom you have to remember it has to play for people you’ve never met before

Here's a question
The Reds are known to need a shortstop badly, and Yonder Alonso is blocked by Votto.
If you are the O’s, do you deal Hardy for Alonso, or do you try to resign Hardy?

Like what?
I mean, if Hardy is healthy, he’s as good of a shortstop offensively and defensively as there is on the market. The CBA might screw it up, but he’ll also be a type B free agent, so the Reds get a pick.

And Alonso hasn’t shown much power thus far, the walk rate has dropped since he hit AAA, he just doesn’t seem like what you want from a first baseman
Bell was top 100 because his raw power potential is insane. we saw glimpses of it against Cliff Lee.

Depends on where we are at with the trade deadline...
are you ok with Dino for a couple years or would you then try and find another of the billion ss that are gonna be fa this year… i would do a super happy dance if we somehow managed to get alonso…
Hmm.......
Do we probably get league-average offense from 1B in that trade?
I know it’s harder for MOST teams to hit a decent hitting SS, but we can’t find a decent hitting 1B with a GPS and a annotated map. I’d be tempted, but I’d want to see some #s for Alonso first.

"Complacency is your demise." - Kerry King
Well, we can't assume we are going to re-sign Hardy.

The obvious answer is health. I wouldn’t object to paying for him, although he isn’t elite offensively and will slow down defensively over the course of his next deal. But at the end of the day, you can’t be sure you aren’t dumping money on a guy who has had horrible health problems over the past several years.

More worrying...
His BABIP is at around his career average, his K rate is up, his BB rate is down, he’s hitting less line drives and more fly balls.
It’s still a fairly small sample size and hopefully he’ll break out during the summer.

Rays announcers...
Rays are one of only four teams (maybe in the modern era) to start 0-6 and reach first place at some point in the season.
Nice to see BRob and Nicky looking better at the plate
I am eating you, motherfucker. You cannot hurt me. - PhilR8
Unrelated to this game..
but Jose Bautista has hit three homers today. Now has a total of 16 on the season.
He’s gotta be on something, right?
But what?
Even Bonds didn’t go from hitting 15 homers to suddenly hitting 50+.
I think he found a genie or something.
He's on pace for something like 65 HR right now.
So this season so far isn’t that out of line. It is unusual for someone to blossom like this, but (perhaps naively) I’d like to give him the benefit of the doubt until some evidence crops up.
Thank you, Brian
for interrupting Palmer’s stream-of-consciousness regarding 3DG right there.

well, yeah,
but Schrodinger’s cat is based on HUP.
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and a little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
Not as far as I know...
The uncertainty principle is that you cannot measure one variable precisely and know anything about the other (usually related to momentum and position). Schrodinger’s Cat has to do with the EPR Paradox, which states that until something is observed, it exists in all possible states.
The two concepts are related, but neither are based on the other.
The cat takes it further than HUP,
but the cat paradox starts with the premise that you can’t measure anything precisely.

I thought that was his cat?
"I put a pepper rub on the scallops so you have a little contrast. You have sweetness from the coconut oil and a little acidity from the splash of lemon." – Luke Scott
No...
We can’t know if someone is safe or out until it’s observed, so they’re safe and out at the same time.
Though that would come into play during a Devil Rays game…
or Gregg if Gonzo stays in much longer.
