Game 160: Red Sox (89-70) @ Orioles (67-92), 7:05pm

Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles, Sep 26, 2011 7:05 PM EDT


The Hunter becomes the hunted as the O's try to carry on the spoiler tradition.

This is as spoiler as spoiler gets. The Red Sox cling to a one-game wild card lead over Tampa Bay. There are three games left to play for both teams. Tampa plays New York, which has already clinched the best record in the AL. All that stands in the way of Boston is the lowly Baltimore Orioles, who have nothing in particular to play for. Perhaps pride, perhaps spite, perhaps the all-time hits record for a player from the Dominican Republic, perhaps for a future in the major leagues to extend beyond this Wednesday.

Tonight's matchup is a rematch of last Wednesday: Josh Beckett for the Sox against Tommy Hunter for the Orioles. The setting is moved a ways down I-95 to Camden Yards. Improbably, the O's were victorious in that game. Can lightning strike twice? The O's aren't even sending up a forfeit lineup - and after yesterday's uber-forfeit lineup saw six runs scored, I'll believe almost anything. Granted, those runs were scored against scrubbadocio extraordinaire Brad Penny. Beckett is a bit tougher game and he'll be more likely to learn whatever there was to learn from the last game.

Is this the best you've got, Boston? You're in the middle of a potentially epic choke job and you've got J.D. Drew and Jason Varitek starting the game? Good luck with that. You should be embarrassed for yourselves that you'll have to rely on a series against the cupcake Orioles to seal your fate.

Unrelated to this game entirely, did you know that Boston still has fruit from the Bronson Arroyo tree? Arroyo was traded to Cincinnati for Wily Mo Pena after the 2005 season. Pena was traded to Washington for a PTBNL in August 2007 that became Chris Carter. Carter was named as a PTBNL in an August 2009 trade to the Mets that brought Billy Wagner to Boston. Wagner was offered arbitration, declined and signed with Atlanta, awarding Boston the first-round pick of Atlanta in the 2010 draft (used on Kolbrin Vitek) and a supplemental pick (Bryce Brentz). That will sound a lot more impressive if Vitek or Brentz ever turn into anything. Based on minor league stat lines, it looks like Brentz has a better chance.

It turns out that you can trace a weirder and more obscure tree from the O's - the Nerio Rodriguez tree. Rodriguez was traded to Toronto to bring back Juan Guzman at the 1998 trade deadline, and Guzman was then traded at the deadline in 1999 to Cincinnati, bringing back B.J. Ryan, whom, when he departed in free agency after 2005 gave the Orioles a supplemental pick and a second round pick in the 2006 draft that became Ryan Adams. And the supplemental pick was Pedro Beato, who we allowed to be claimed by the Mets in exchange for another year on the 40-man roster for Pedros Viola and Florimon Jr. I guess the O's won that trade.

There's a lot of debate about this in the star wars internet world

and the general nerd consensus seems to be that there were so many pressures and people working on the first star wars movies that they made it really good. When it came time for the prequels everybody said “LET GEORGE DO WHAT HE WANTS” and thus the suckyness.

have you ever heard about lucas’ original ideas for some of the characters? If he had had his way, the movies would have been completely different, and most likely as bad as the prequels.

There are only a few lightsaber fights in the originals

and every time there is a very important interaction happening between the characters.

In the prequels everyone has a lightsaber and there is never any point. The closest they ever come is when Darth Maul kills Qui gon, but that’s undermined by the fact that qui gon is such a dumb character.

by DaveAA on Sep 26, 2011 8:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

It's also a different time in the prequels (obviously)

There were dozens more Jedi during that time period and there was a war going on directly involving those Jedi. Naturally, there would be more lightsaber action.

You will be often astounded by the random things your fellow college students don't know.

Some of my highlights as far as that goes:

  • In a Poli Sci class, the prof. liked to have random trivia on quizzes for like 1-2 points extra credit. I was the only one to know the answer to, “Who was the first man in space?”
  • In one composition class, no one else was familiar with the concept of an allegory (specifically, I was referencing The Crucible).
  • In a health class, there was the obligatory sex ed unit. The prof asked what the term was for oral sex performed on a man and all these frat boy type dudes were all, “Fellatio!” and high fiving one another and shit. Then she asked what the term was for oral sex performed on a woman and the room was quiet. I announced “Cunnilingus!” with authority. That one may have been my favorite.

I have no idea what they thought.

All I know is that when the prof said only one person got it right and pointed me out, people gave me the “What kind of weirdo even knows that?” look I was familiar with from my high school days.

It was weirder to me that I was the only one who knew.

But those guys probably took less than 8 years to get degrees, so I guess the joke’s on me.

The Earth isn't round.

It’s slightly “squashed” at the poles meaning latitude is longer than longitude.

I think everyone on CC loved Andino more than Julio Lugo.

Although that’s not saying much.

I wanted Andino to get his shot, but I didn’t expect him to do as much with it as he has. It’s gotta be the best story on the Orioles this year.

the analogy explained..

when crabs are caught and placed in a bucket, they are doomed.

Sometimes, one of the crabs is able to climb over all the other crabs and when he’s just about to get out of the bucket… one of the other doomed crabs just grabs that guy by the leg and pulls him back down.
