do I get a bunch of recs if I yell at you?

Jeff's post was stuck at three recs
when I read the thread after waking up today…felt only fair to push it over the hump, after he asked so nicely.
Dammit
That made me chortle koolaid on the keyboard.

Trenni's mic turned up during the last few pitches
You could hear her say, “Thanks, see you tomorrow!”
That’s because she’s going to be busy with me tonight. :-)
If he's the Prince, then I'm the King.
Leadoff double
for the Dbacks, he steals 3rd, and they couldn’t bring him in!
The Wallbangers won because they played the game like kids! Let's do that again!!!
Plus he doesn't run out grounders
Boo!

75 pitches
Assuming he has something like 110 in him there is almost no way he doesn’t go the distance.

He's a monster
I’d break the bank to sign him if I were the Brewers, srsly.
sig lines are for suckas
I'd be very tempted, too.
Also, cheese.

gf update
We’re at a solid 4 minutes. She’s lucky she’s adorable and lets me do things to her.

I need to remember not to set the bar too high
“adorable” and “lets me do things to her” are really the only important qualifications, aren’t they?
Also, cheese.

Oh
The hang up, turn the phone off…always works in a pinch. But is this really where you want to use that one? It’s like the statue of liberty play. Only works once, don’t throw it away

Watch his curve. See if you can see the hump one of the biggest in the game right now.

a BABIP on the good side for Rickie
Sure seems like he doesn’t get too many of those despite his speed.
Yeah me too
But those trainers are funny. Sometimes they take you out as a precaution and sometimes they let you pitch a few more innings with a torn ACL.

Is anyone else thinking
about how painful that’s gonna be when the duct tape gets pulled off?

um...
...yes?
I would imagine she has something on underneath where the removal would be most painful.

They brought Mota in? He’s gained weight

Do we really need 12 pitchers at this point?
I wonder if bringing back Dillon and shipping out Mota might be the right thing to do.
I know this is never going to happen
But I wonder how well he would have to pitch to win the NL Cy young. What if he goes like 12-1 with a 1.20 ERA?
by dixieflatline on Jul 23, 2008 9:41 PM CDT up reply actions
Randy Johnson finished 7th in 1998
10-1 in 11 starts with a 1.28 ERA

Don't piss off Adam Dunn
http://www.baseballmusings.com/archives/027971.php
the Reds should send JP Riccardi a fruit basket or something.
Or Randy Wolf
Seriously, WTF?
someone jonesing for the love child of Jenkins and Favre down there?
I am pro-Cameron
Dunn to the Astros has been rumored for years
b/c of the Texas conn. and I would have liked to have had him (esp if it meant that we passed on signing carlos lee to that anchor of a contract). now, he has less value to us. always liked him though.
In an unusual move...
Ned Yost has announced that Seth McClung, currently emersed in a home/road platoon with Dave Bush, will pitch the first inning of Thursday’s game before regularly-scheduled starter Ben Sheets takes the mound.
by Et tu Brewte on Jul 23, 2008 9:47 PM CDT up reply actions 1 recs
Why tomorrow?
Pujols is up next inning.
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
Isringhausen
Of course he just lost control of that because of the ball off his hand…
Obscure baseball records and more at my blog, Recondite Baseball.
So...question
Do you play all of the reserves tomorrow and beat ‘em with the B team just to rub it in?
I am pro-Cameron
We did just have the ASB
I think maybe Braun gets the day off but everyone else probably is in.
by dixieflatline on Jul 23, 2008 9:47 PM CDT up reply actions
Actaully they had this really cool video with these LCD 3D glasses
Got me thinking that maybe I can show some 3D pitches coming in. Sadly, the glasses are like $100 each.
by dixieflatline on Jul 23, 2008 9:50 PM CDT up reply actions
Yeah, Braun is probably really tired from being an All-Star
BCB's "very own marginally deserving all-star!"
Maybe he did something more tiring during his time off? :)

It's not about the day off
It’s about the day on for guys.
I say:
Durham 2B
Branyan 3B
Kapler CF
Then we see Rivera in one game vs. Houston, probably Sunday.
I am pro-Cameron
Ray Durham will get a start tomorrow
Got to keep him in game shape, I mean, he’s growing whiskers on the bench.
If he's the Prince, then I'm the King.
He passes time by playing Rivera in Risk, stuffing envelopes or catching pokemon. Whatever it is bench players do.
Coffee is for closers
Risk, the game of global domination,
played by two people who can barely control their own… playing time?
If he's the Prince, then I'm the King.
NO!
Ukraine is strong!

lose all of my territories except Western US one time. Didn’t QUITE win it after that, but had about 2/3 the world before being beaten into bloody oblivion.

Durham probably starts
Also Counsell at short.

Counsell will never start at short
Ned plays the hot hand everyday.

in fairness
when CB Bucknor makes a call, it’s probably wrong.

heh...
Some new code to check umpires happened to end up on my computer yesterday and I was running it and wouldn’t you know it but CB ended up as the least consistent ump behind the plate.

Was he voted
The worst in baseball by players in that (Sports Illustrated?) poll a couple years ago? He had to be down there.

Gagne up in the pen
I guess he isn’t going to get any work in the game so you might as well have him work in the pen today.
So now I see the plan
CG for CC every time out.
Lower that FA value to bring it home to Milw…

how does that lower a free agent value?
