At Wilson's Farm, our local food store, they have a random mini Fenway scoreboard on top of the wall. It seems like they've forgotten to update it though, because the Rays were still behind the Sox. D:
I'm of course psyched that Youk is an all-star starter, and Pedey too, but neither is a surprise. But I'm DEE-LIGHTED to see that the players voted JD on.
Longoria is so good...but I'm not sure if I can get past the rivalry to vote for him (never thought I'd say that...I've never been one to buy into the rivalry thing).
if he says onbe more thing about those damn camera flashes....
damn it, and i hate how these announcers are all for the Yankees. like they get so excited when the Yankees get an out on the Red Sox and he just screamed when arod got the homer...wtf
It's quite possible that Sabathia is only a rental for the Brewers. If that's the case you can expect the Skanks to make a play for him in the offseason.
TG - give me Prince Albert ANY day of the week. He may not be quite as good as A-Rod, but IMO he's a great talent and his character is pretty spotless from what I've heard. I'm sorry to not see him on the ASG roster again this year.
And kudos to A-Rod's wife for finally putting her foot down.
FOR THE LAST TIME, JOE MORGAN: the Santana trade not going through did not "put pressure" on Phil Hughes, et al. That trade cannot be evaluated in one season - it will take six years before the result is known.
I agree with you Danielle. I bring poland springs home when I visit. I can find it at whole foods in florida occasionally. I know it's good Tek gets a night off, but I'm selfish I would like him 7 days a week. I don't like when Wakey pitches.
It will be interesting to see who gets picked to replace Big Papi on the roster. Francona said this afternoon that Milton Bradley will replace Big Papi in the starting lineup.
Well that's a little confrontational, but I don't care who voted him - that is a case in point why All-Star selections are ridiculous, and should never ever EVER be pointed to as a reasoning for HOF.
Sorry I didn't mean for it to be confrontational here. That was meant more for my blog because you know some stupid Yanks fan is going to make a comment at some point about it.
Eck said today on teh TBS show that Tek's selection to the team shows you why the players shouldn't have any say at all.
while I know it's because she's exhausted and fighting to stay awake, I'm viewing Lily covering her ears as a sighn even she knows these miller and morgan suck =)
Well, I've tried to tell fc about that hypothesis, but she won't listen.
At the very least, the man's got some hyperhydrosis that could probably respond to common treatments... but the Sox FO might have problems with him getting Botox injections ALL OVER HIS BODY.
mh, I'd still be doing it full time if the practice hadn't phased it out. Now I do medical record data entry for the most part, but still a little bit of transcription when stat situations call for it. And within minutes it makes my wrists and hands hurt, and my fingers slow down as well. So glad I don't do much of it anymore.
mh, I've been doing EMR transcription since 2003, and now the "clicking in" and such. I'm learning more of the fine points every day. I may possibly maybe make a midlife career switch to diversity education...in my dreams...but am also considering relocating in the next few years, so if I do stay in the medical field its good to know that my skills will transfer anywhere.
I would say one of those was a mistake, but the chances I could come up with two such inappropriate comments are pretty damn good, so I'll stick with it.
Ian, when I heard them talk about Bonds all I could think was NO. PLEASE. NO. I can't even bear the thought of having to look at him during games or cheer for him. Ugh.
Sometimes I sit and look into the night sky... with a warm summer breeze blowing in off the lake... crickets chirping around me... I feel that I can really breath, the air clearing my frantic brain, the smell of the pine trees soothing away the stresses of my daily life.
And I think to myself, "Oh wow, the Yankees really do suck, don't they?"
OK, everyone JUST heard Joe Morgan go on and on about how the pitcher isn't concerned about A-Rod, and is only concerned about the batter.... and then turn right around and say Francona pulled Wake because of a fear A-Rod might steal second.
Papelbon is such a pussy. Can't deliver in 1 run/tie games. Has no splitter. Can't put away Brett fucking Gardner who has 2 hits in his fucking career. Fucking pathetic.
Adam: Sorry, but Paps' stat splits do NOT back up what you just said. In late/close games, opponents BA against him is .166 and his BABIP is just .227 -- don't go all Joe Morgan/Dusty Baker on us.

-Hung the split to Mike Lamb in the blown save against the Twins
- Hung the split to Edwin Encarnacion in the blown save against the Reds
- Hung the split to Adam Kennedy in the blown save against the Cardinals
- Couldn't get a fastball by Brett Gardner, had to resort to his split
- The Tiger blown save wasnt really his fault
If you would have just said "Paps is having problems with his splitter", I would not have disagreed with you. if you would have said, "Compared to last year, his situational stats in close/late games have declined," I would have agreed with you.
But you said "Papelbon is such a pussy. Can't deliver in 1 run/tie games." The first part of which is rather shitty (and reactionary) of you to say, and the second part of which is not backed up by his career stats.
I think you're missing my point: criticize him all you want, just don't make hyperbolic critiques that aren't founded in fact. And calling someone a vagina is not a "criticism" -- that's just name-calling, really.
I do agree that a hit is a hit is a hit - doesn't matter how cheap, if the ball is put in play, it's the pitcher's responsibility.
I thought I would make my first post useful, so I wanted to share with you my review of this amazing guide on [url=http://stopsweating.weebly.com/]how to stop sweating[/url] I started using a few months ago.
