FYI

I thought I would be a good Brewer fan and throw some votes Corey’s way. Turns out, at this moment, the numbers don’t need to be typed in to vote for Corey. I took advantage of the glitch and had about 250 votes in 5 minutes.
My eyes are on fire and Im pretty sure I was in some kind of weird trance like state, but CC will make all things better in about 2 hours.

I got excited when you mentioned the no numbers thing

Too bad it was fixed by the time I got there. I still threw him 30 or so more vote, though. Got me to thinking, if I was Corey I would get pay some neighborhood kids like 8 bucks an hour for like a day to just sit there and vote. I would think a couple hundred dollars would be a minor inconvenience in order to get invited to the all-star game.

Ummm...

I don’t think Al from evil BCB is quite right on this one:

Sabathia replaced not Seth McClung or Dave Bush in the Brewers’ rotation, but Jeff Suppan, who was placed on the 15-day DL yesterday with an elbow problem. This makes the marginal impact Sabathia will have on the Brewers’ rotation smaller. At least, that’s how I see it.

I foresee an estimation that Rich Harden will improve the Cubs by +6.02×10^23 wins.

6:27: CC Sabathia appeared out of the dugout with Jason Kendall and the two headed to the outfield to stretch and jog.

6:27.5: A group of four women raced from their second-level seats behind home plate with camera’s in hand, presumably to snap shots of Sabathia, who was going out to left-center field. That’s a hike for any fan.

by SunglassesAtNight on Jul 8, 2008 8:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

From my college psych classes...

.... sometimes people just look for the answer to the question they expect, instead of answering the one that gets asked. There the ump probably knew it was going to be a close play, and he just looked to see if the runner beat the throw to the bag. When he did, he made his call without bothering to look to see if the runner slid past the bag. By the time Weeks pointed it out to him, he’d already made the safe call and there was no way he was going to change it, even if he realized he never bothered to look to see if the runner slid past the bag.

by Ted Simmons Speed Camp on Jul 8, 2008 8:17 PM CDT up reply actions

i think he just assumed he was out (for good reason) and wasn’t even going to make an effort to get back on, and then realized what a bad call it was

I get the initial safe call

because he was there before the ball got there, but the ump has to notice the guy slide a foot past the bag with Rickie tagging him in the back.

by PagsBrewCrew on Jul 8, 2008 8:18 PM CDT up reply actions  

I don't...

... but the runner beat the throw to 2nd in a close play, but then slid past the bag. He ended up about 2 feet past second, and Weeks brought his glove (with the ball in it) down on the runners back and held it there while the ump made the safe call. The runner was still off the bag (appearing to assume he was out) even while Weeks argued with the ump.

Topps has an "Updates and Highlights" set

that usually comes out at the end of the season. It’s the 21st century version of the old “traded” set.

Other than that, the companies do issue sets in the winter but they’re not the base set, it’s some high-end stuff or more gimmicky.

you're welcome

Doesn’t mean Sabathia will be in the set, though. Last year’s set had more “highlights” than “updates”. Also, it comes out in October so there won’t be any exciting Brewers playoff action in it.

Dear Mr. Sabean, I hear you have a reputation of being stupid. Want to deal Lincecum or Cain? You can pick THREE of these 4 players for either: Borowski, Dellucci, Blake, Byrd.

I am listening to the game on the radio.....

I am suspicious that we acquired Claudio Vargas instead of CC Sabathia.

if we had acquired Vargas, it would still be the 3rd inning
