Game 160: Red Sox (89-70) @ Orioles (67-92), 7:05pm
Boston Red Sox at Baltimore Orioles, Sep 26, 2011 7:05 PM EDT
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.

Box score says that Hunter threw 19 pitches in the first inning?
Remarkably low for having faced six batters, walking two of them.
he threw only 1 pitch to the last hitter

couldn't even last long enough in the rundown to allow hardy to run to second.

And after all that, they still should have gotten Scutaro at the plate.
Alas Hunter couldn’t handle Wieters’ sliding bounce pass.
Yeah, I thought they had him there.
Then the ball rolled like five feet from Hunter. Alas.

He was rather demonstrative about it.
Not sure if I would have tossed him right then and there though.
Most any time a player turns back around to say more, they get heaved.
Assuming the first set of gestures doesn’t get the ejection to begin with.
Red Sox exempt, I guess.

the lightsaber battles are a huge part of what’s wrong with those movies. The lightsaber scenes in the originals were about emotion and high stakes, not ninja flips and magic.
Eh
the originals were held back by technology.

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.

To a degree.
There’s a reason he didn’t direct Empire and Jedi. He’s on record himself as saying he isn’t a very good director.
True
but John Landis directed Thriller and I’m pretty sure we all know who was really responsible for that video.

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.
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.

I read all the ones that came out when I was 10-20.
There are ones I remember enjoying particularly, but I don’t know if it’s worth really diving into them as an adult.
In about 2003 I decided it would be a good time to stop reading them while I still had fond memories, before I was well and truly too old for that shit. I think this was a good decision.

It’s a re-editing of the Phantom Menace that cuts out huge amounts of Anakin, Jar Jar, and a ton of the boring political stuff. It’s still a bad movie but it’s much more watchable.

you'll be astounded how many students can barely add, subtract, multiply, or divide.
Kevin Gregg-"You obviously haven't acquired my taste for pitching yet"
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.

she talked about the incredibly controversial topic of the Earth being round one class. After class a girl came up to her and asked if the Earth was really round. This, at a Top 25 university.
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.
