so I know we need to have a dump, every day.
I have stolen a few links from the excellent JapanBall newsletter (to which you can subscribe by going here.
You think our road trips are bad now? MLB mulls possibilities of Asian League
You think Coliseum ushers are annoying? Japan uses anti-gang ordinance to ban fan groups from attending games
You might be amazed that there are still places where people routinely leave their doors unlocked.
Schilling hangs it up, maybe. He may be a self-important blowhard, but he's right about this:
The game was here for well over a hundred years before I came along, and will be for that and more after I am gone, it owes Curt Schilling absolutely nothing, it gave me far more than I ever gave it.
And oldest living major leaguer tells all. Or maybe only some. Happy birthday, Bill Werber!

Schilling
Agreed on his comment. I think everyone can agree. But what an arrogant bastard to write that…so, still a self-important blowhard in my book.
and THIS
“I won’t come back throwing 85 with so-so crap. “
I thought that was an unnecessary dig at Zito.

Wow, my opinion of Schilling just went up a few notches.
Still negative, but not quite as negative as it was before.

Does the rule book say anything about a pitcher swiching hands?
I know that once to start an at bat you can no change sides. Unless your Larry Walker with Randy Johnson pitching to you in the All Star game but what about pitchers
I think thats how they finally solved it
but the AB never started did it? Since a pitch was never thrown…
Pessimism FTW! ... Wait what?
Sure it was
Eventually the hitter struck out.

4 questions
For people who know stuff about the minor leagues:
I might go to this game tonight … does either squad boast any highly regarded prospects?
For people who know stuff about pitcher fragility:
Is this (the bolded part) actually true?
Jay (Madison): My fantasy baseball competitor is offering an even money bet that Rich Harden will land on the DL at some point during the rest of the season (i’d be betting no DL). Should I take the bet?Will Carroll: Take it. Harden’s pitching very well and looking good, but ANY pitcher is about a 45% chance to go on the DL in any given season. Harden’s more risky than average and while I didn’t do any math on this, It’s a bet I would take. I hope you lose though.
For people who know stuff about AN:
Beyond the 3 rec threshold for graduating from one fanpost tier to the next, do additional recommendations have any practical impact, or do they simply serve as a measure of community appreciation? Like, does a post with 25 recs have more staying power than a post with 3, or do they cycle off in date order no matter what?
For people who know stuff about 67MARQUEZ:
Where is he? And what happened to all his fanposts? I’ve been hankering for one of those A’s/family history picture essays that turn me all wistful and contemplative, but even the old ones have disappeared from the archives.
On pitcher injuries
That’s a little higher than I would have guessed, but on that kind of stat I’d be inclined to take Will Carroll’s word for it. (On the other hand, it sounds like he misunderstood which side of the bet the guy would be betting on).
"May a nit suck Cajun geese?" wonders Red. No, we see gnu Jack Cust in a yam.
I think you're right that he misunderstood which side of the bet.
If not, then that’s pretty cold to say, “I hope you lose, though.” He’d essentially be saying he hopes Rich gets hurt.
"Dispatch knuckleheadedness with Bond-like aplomb." –74mk
Im sure he misunderstood.
Will always wants to see guys get well, he seems like he truly loves the game.

Prospects
for Portland: 2B Antonelli, P LeBlanc, and I think Tucson has good pitchers like Scherzer and Gutierrez. Not that I’m John Sickels or anything, those were just familiar names from the roster.
...one Japanese woman standing in the lobby surrounded by Red Sox fans turned to her companion and said, "These Boston people are awful." -Slusser
no on the prospects
All of Tuscon’s prospects play for the A’s, except for Scherzer who’s in the majors. You barely missed Chase Headley. Portland has a very nice park in a very nice city though.
The A's colors are green and gold.
Scherzer isnt in the majors...
He got sent down, made one appearance in Tucson and got put on the DL.

As for where the rest of his fAnPoSts went, that’s odd. I hope all’s well…

Randy Bell actually still occasionally posts on network security websites. I’ve been tempted to e-mail him and see what drove him from AN.

Toronto goes Back to the Future....
Blue Jays dump John Gibbons, bring back Cito Gaston. Making up part of his staff are former Athletics Dwayne Murphy (1B coach) and Gene Tenace (hitting coach).
Is this JP’s way of staying in the news after talking s#!% about Adam Dunn?
“Do you know the guy doesn’t really like baseball that much?” Ricciardi said. “Do you know the guy doesn’t have a passion to play the game that much? How much do you know about the player?
“There’s a reason why you’re attracted to some players and there’s a reason why you’re not attracted to some players. I don’t think you’d be very happy if we brought Adam Dunn here.”
JP
That dude has been seriously unimpressive me on a lot of levels. You got Jay Gibbons trading blows with hsi pitcher in the dug out two years ago and he isn’t fired then? After being at the center of some contentious crap with Shea Hillenbrand?
The way he handled Frank Thomas?
JP has stuck behind Gibbons way too long. He also has made some pretty horrible player moves. David Eckstein?
I mean seriously, why is JP still running a team?
I blame rigid Canadian labor regulations
Cito fricking Gaston? The end is nigh.
Signatures? We don't need no stinking signatures.
Haha...poor Jay Gibbons..
Why did he get dragged into this?

are our friendly cows of the sea here in Florida.
Just don’t bring your liberal politics, new age spirituality or contrarian natures. Don’t question anything, even if it’s simply, “Why the eff would anyone live in this oppressive heat?” That will only get you menacingly stared at. Deeper questioning of the morality and belief structures of the natives may actually get you run out. At least, I’m hoping it will.

Edit required
The corporate chairman throws out a sarcastic remark and those who “get” it laugh, smile, and gain favor. In the same way, if the chair never makes a remark, sarcastic people are making them behind his or her back, forming a clique by their mutually negative, but funny, comments. Either way, sarcasm plays a role in making and breaking alliances and friendship.
I feel like that section requires a bit of re-working in order to make it more true to life:
The corporate chairman throws out a sarcastic remark and everyone pretends to “get” it because, well, he’s the corporate chairman, and one of the enduring miseries of workplace life is the never-f*ing-ending bombardment of idiotic, corny har-har humor perpetrated by those a few rungs up on whatever ladder you’ve misled yourself into thinking you ought to climb, humor that is almost always followed by a nauseating chorous of fake hollow chuckles and companion jokes from various clingy breathless subordinates. In the same way, if the chair never makes a remark, petty, craven, duplicitous, gossipy people are making them behind his or her back in comically hushed tones, like third graders whispering about Little Tommy’s body odor, forming a clique by their mutually negative, and almost never funny, comments. Either way, pseudo-sarcasm is but a single manifestation of the twisted, phony layered on phony layered on evil atmosphere that permeates the motivational poster lined halls and gray thumbtacked cubicle walls of the corporate universe.

As long as we're making software suggestions,
Here’s the one thing that still bugs me about new AN: On auto-refresh, when a new comment comes in, if it’s above the one you have selected, the new comment becomes the selected one, even though it doesn’t show that way on the screen.
The result is that when you’re using C,Z,X to go through the comments, if a new comment pops up just when you’re typing X or Z, it kills the new comment that just came in. If it’s somewhere up above, it’s too much hassle to track down what the new comment was, so you just miss it.
I don’t think this is intended behavior. X and Z should only mark unread the comment that’s actually highlighted, never a new comment that popped up above that you haven’t actually seen yet.

He got into trouble with 2 HBPs in the 6th, but got out of it. Only two balls hit to the OF in 6 IP….
What I learned from looking at gameday: he loves pitching inside to both RH and LH hitters, which accounts for his high hbp total this year. Most of his pre-2 strike pitches were inside, and it looked like he went low and outside with (probably) breaking balls of whatever type to get Ks.

My brother and me
had a debate the other day. I was commenting on Blez’s post the other day where he said that while he loved Hannahan, he was not exactly Scutaro. While conveying this to Ben, I argued that while Jack may not yet be as accomplished a “relief infielder” that Scoots was/is, his name was just as fun to say-I’m open to the possibility of just being me, but every time an announcer/highlight guy says his name, I repeat-scream “HANNAHAN!” like I have tourette’s. My brother countered and said it would be, if he had a different first name-but that nothing could beat the MARCO! chants. This led me to debating over the last couple days what would be the perfect first name for HANNAHAN?
I think, after some serious reflection and pontification, I’ve come up with Hammy. Obviously, the heat’s affected my brain in some serious, permanent way, but…what would be your thought?
