Thanks for helping me out, BBG!
I just got out of class, and I didn’t know the games were starting so early tonight. I appreciate your help.

Okay, that's the saddest story ever
Cannot imagine showing up to the park and finding out that your mom has died. BUT why in the WORLD couldn’t his family have waited to tell him until the game was over? It’s not like he could do anything until the game concludes in the first place, right?

I agree. I can’t imagine having that on my mind while trying to manage a playoff baseball game. Not that he wouldn’t have it on his mind tomorrow anyway, but he’d at least have a little time to grieve before going back to work.

Seemed weird! Not like he was going to find out at the park, you know? Have him show up, coach, and then find him afterwards to tell him, and then let him travel, etc. Why make him think about that during the game?

Nope, it might even border on "cute"
A senior citizen drove his brand new Corvette convertible out of the dealership. Taking off down the road, he floored it to 90 mph, enjoying the wind blowing through what little hair he had left. ‘Amazing,’ he thought as he flew down I-70, pushing the pedal even more.
Looking in his rear view mirror, he saw a State Trooper behind him, lights flashing and siren blaring. He floored it to 100 mph, then 110, then 120. Suddenly he thought, ‘What am I doing? I’m too old for this,’ and pulled over to await the Trooper’s arrival.
Pulling in behind him, the Trooper walked up to the Corvette, looked at his watch and said, "Sir, my shift ends in 30 minutes. Today is Friday. If you can give me a reason for speeding that I’ve never heard before, I’ll let you go."
The old gentleman paused, then said, "Years ago, my wife ran off with a State Trooper. I thought you were bringing her back."
"Have a good day sir," replied the Trooper.

Hey, Paps, you know what the cool thing to do is?
Free balls to the dugout. With mediocre hitters on deck.

Wow - looking at Price's delivery,
I see so much Dan Meyer…what he might have looked like healthy (Price-lite maybe, but still).
I like Cindi. A. She never pretends to know more than she does. B. She has unbridled enthusiasm for her "Hotties," and isn't afraid to show it. -IM4Oakgal
by Nico on Oct 10, 2008 8:54 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
Yeah one reason I would never have been able to make that comparison,
is because when he throws his first pitch, it is a fastball and just jumps out of his arm to the plate, not exactly something I equate to Meyer.
by mattman on Oct 10, 2008 8:58 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
It's just his windup and deliver look really similar -
Then the ball leaves his hand.

by the way, I just called Kimball's Carnival
located in downtown Oakland (Broadway near 2nd st) They confirmed that they’d have all the postseason baseball games on their big TVs. I watched the 2007 basketball postseason there — nice space, decent food and beer.
