Durn it, there goes the shutout

Physically, of course… that’s all we care about..!!

Hey folks!
Kids in bed, and I’m just trying to deal with the shock of (a) the score and (b) the Bad Sweeney HR.
Did Sweeney manage to circle the bases without incident?

Gruen or witte?
And to they call it “hollandaise” or are sauce names like “french kissing” and “the English disease”?

Harden is looking damned good...
...at the plate.
Some read stats. Others actually watch the game.

silly article
also said richie couldn’t bunt to save his life
by schmifty on May 17, 2008 5:48 PM PDT 0 recs
Good thing his life wasn't on the line
and he was only trying to move two runners up a base. Less pressure.
In search of a new signature. Say something funny and you may see your comment here!

lowering expectations
I've come to the conclusion that the two most important things in life are good friends and a good bullpen.

they should have pinched hit for harden
i dont want to see him pitch over 75 pitches today…..

From our BeatDeadHorse Division,
that’s a bloop single if we’re on defense.
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

Indeed.
Why can’t we ever pick up a player like Mark Kotsay?

Yup - it looks like the Braves OF plays as shallow
as ours plays deep. I like their idea better, personally. Hopefully our inability to deliver the knockout punch won’t haunt us.

In Germany, eating asparagus really is a duty!
And the hand can be used as a knife!

In my culture, the hand can be used
to throw gopher balls. We call it “harrikala”.

I wouldn't call it luck, I'd call it good positioning,
and good jump.

Given where Francoeur was playing BoCro
could he throw him out at 1st on a liner hit right to him?

Damn it Harden
Why do you have to pitch like this? It’s only going to make it harder when you hit the DL again.

I like them
I like their complaining about gas prices and I like that they mocked people on cellphones waving to their friends watching TV. “If you’re on the speaking to these people, tell them they look like dorks”. Nice.

Zito vs. Swisher on WGN
Zito looks like he’s sick. Swisher is batting sixth, so he should be up this inning.

Giambi needs to send him his special tiger thong.
Actually, if Giambi has 2 of them, both guys could use one.
