Open Thread: Game 35 - A's vs. Orioles (cont.)

Hell, aren’t you used to it anyway? Kinda’ like you California folks with earthquakes I imagine. After so many years, tornado warnings just don’t get my heart racing anymore.

We just had an earthquake

Here recently, like first in 1,000 years or something. It was just a little window-rattler, but had everybody completely freaked out.

What about the one that wrecked all those old buildings in Paso?

I think that was in 04, I was still living down there. That one was pretty good.

One evening when I was working at the radio station

during a rare San Francisco electrical storm, a listener called in a panic—she had never experienced thunder and lightning before and wasn’t sure what she was supposed to do. “Should I evacuate? What if the house is struck by lightning?” It was good she got a native Midwesterner answering the phone to reassure her.

A bad (auto) translation

of an article in a Mexican newspaper. I think the better translation would have been something along the lines of ‘patrolling the outfield’ (or cruise ship)

by As Fan in the Bronx on May 6, 2008 9:09 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Not really a bad translation

The Spanish word for outfielder is something like “patroller”. The translate-bot made that “patrol-craft”. Note that it refers to any outfielder, not just a CF.

Full phrase is “Marabino patrol-craft”. Marabino is the name for someone from Maracaibo, which CarGon is (and also Quiroz, Orioles catcher).

I’ve read about a dozen articles saying that it won’t last. Yet, they actually pitch better as we keep moving on. Interesting.
