It seems to be time for a fresh link dump.
Phillies win!
Dodgers lose.
And on to the series that we really care about...
LL required reading: Rays Too Stupid to Crumble Under Postseason Pressure
Kazmir to start Game 5 instead of Shields. Um. Okay.
Longoria and Upton are awesome. Yeah, we know.
Evan Longoria wore a pinstriped suit, paisley tie and pocket square. He would’ve topped it off with a fedora but left it at the hotel. B.J. Upton rocked a velour jacket, T-shirt and jeans, capped by aviator sunglasses that covered half his face.
Paisley tie? Evan must have been interviewed by Craig Sager one too many times.
Rays @ Red Sox, 5:07 p.m. on TBS. Go Rays!

That picture of Ethier (?) with his (?) kid is awesome.
“At least you don’t know that daddy failed miserably. Let’s go home and play.”
Children, until we have taught them better, will be perfectly happy with a seasonal round of games in which conkers succeeds hopscotch.
no, he's whispering ...
“If we were still with the A’s, Beane would be fielding offers for both of us.”
It's just something we do. It's not something we like. @('.')@

I thought that too.
I wasn’t scared so much as disgusted, though.

I don't know.
But I’m glad that the kid actually ISN’T being eaten. So this conversation is rendered unimportant.

I think he's going into his stretch
He’s about to throw a curve-baby.

I for one would like a pikshur of Evan Longoria in a
pinstriped suit, paisley tie and pocket square.
That would really brighten up my Thursday.

She is the best!
But can she find one of BJ Upton in said outfit and sunglasses?
39 remarkable innings.
No prob. You're still the best!
You’re always pulling something out of your bag of tricks!

Oh, schmifty. I knew I could count on you.

I'm guessing it's the only suit he owns
Paisley on a checked shirt with a pinstriped suit? And that pocket square could use some work too. Tim Gunn is concerned.

With all the Project Runway fans in here, you'd think ONE of us would've noticed his outfit clashed
I’m disappointed in us.
the clashing of elements ain't the worst part
That jacket is ( a ) off the rack, ( b ) a TERRIBLE fit, ( c ) incredibly/stupidly conservative in its cut and detailing (3 buttons, placed weirdly too high? tiny little lapels that lie like a 60s suit, but again too high?).
It's just something we do. It's not something we like. @('.')@
is there someplace I can see these pictures?
I’m in need of a fashion related laugh.

Oh yay! A DLD!!!
In parallel universe Star Trek world they're also having an election ...
Because Free is a very good price.....
SFMOMA, the Contemporary Jewish Museum, the Museum of the African Diaspora, and Zeum all have free admission on Sunday.

Can I have $2?

Dee...Elll...Deee? What's that?
In any case, it seems like a good place to mention this. You know you’ve made it into the Everyman pantheon when your regular guy nature is touted in the New York Times.
Such is the charmed life of Matt Stairs.

I think we've had it stuffed down our throats
How one homerun can change a life or a million.
I'm here to talk about the past.
That's amazing. She brought back the dinosaurs? and they eat oil?

Oh, good. I thought it was just me.

I finally got my Staplehead and Swooney shirts in the mail from Majestic.
They now offer “team” colors on the back instead of the white font. The photo on the website looks completely different from the real thing.


The back “gold” is more brownish than the front, but I’m happy with them. Sadly, I wish I would have purchased them when I had a source of income.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
Staplehead?!?!!? Swooney??!?!!?!?
I love you Jennifer!!! I know what to get my friend for her birthday now!!!!!!!
She LOVES Swooney!!!! And Staplehead, though not as much. I’m not quite sure if she knows anybody else on the team…. but I know she would LOVE a shirt like that!!!
… How much do they cost?
We're in a team-wide funk. ~Mark Ellis
$29.99 plus tax and shipping.
Warning: it takes 15+ days to ship once you order.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
XP. Her birthday's in 5 days... Oh well.
Guess I better go shopping for a belated birthday card!
We're in a team-wide funk. ~Mark Ellis
HO MY GAWDDD
They FINALLY started making them with the proper colors on the back?!? ALFKJSLJFDS FLSKJFLSKFJLSJKSL
/TANTRUM
Anyway… Swooney! Staplehead! THAT IS AWESOME!!!
It's not the EXACT same color on the back as the front.
But at least it’s not the white. Majestic also has a shirt with the actual player name and number, not just a customizable one.
But he came back. And there was much rejoicing.
Omg.
Why are all the stuff I want coming at a time in which I am low on cash?! Hmm, I’ll have to convince my friend to get me a super, super early Christmas present then.
What name did you order?
Now that they have green & gold on the back, I’ll have to order some too… probably Swooney.
Yeah, I will probably just go with the normal spelling, too
But whoever made up “Swooney” should be knighted.
"Stayin' Alive" beat a near-exact match for CPR chest compressions
I think I’d rather die than have my rescuer belt out the Bee Gees.

they actually taught us in nursing school
and in our BLS/ACLS (basic life saving/advanced cardiac life saving) classes to use “Another One Bites the Dust”
Andy Bernard does not lose contests. He wins them. Or he quits them. Because they're unfair.
I'd prefer Queen over the Bee Gees any day.
I actually might permit the person to save my life.

Love Queen
One of the best live perfomers. So I’ve been told. Was too young to see them in person (well, I was in the 70’s), but my sister and brothers saw them.
I'm here to talk about the past.
I like "don't stop me now" alot.
Especially after seeing Shaun of the Dead.
We're in a team-wide funk. ~Mark Ellis
My a cappella group
actually got described once as a cross between Queen and The Bee Gees. I think they meant it as an insult, but we were pretty psyched.

Links from JapanBall
Akinobu Okada, the manager of the Hanshin Tigers (sometimes referred to as the Cubs of Japan) resigned in shame because his team did not finish first in the league, although they will continue in to the postseason. However, he will stay with the team through the next round of the playoffs, which is known as The Climax Series.
And Tadahito Iguchi wants to be wanted.
