If he has been needing this all along, then why were the other surgeries done and not this one??? I get a kick out of Geren saying that by fixing this he will be ready to go next season and “that is exciting”. Please! Spare me! I would be shocked to see him ready for next season. And if this “so called” problem is fixed, then another one will crop up. Please just retire Eric, and let us move on! You’re starting to remind me of Brett Favre. Best of luck with your surgery and thanks for all you’ve done, but please just ride off into the sunset.

I wait all frickin’ morning for a DLD, and this is what it says?!? Booooooo!!!!!

(btw, thanks tbp for starting one!)

“Gah” is the correct answer! We would’ve also accepted:

1. Fuck.
2. Sure, keep the third baseman, he says…
3. Oof.
4. We deserve this.
5. I deserve this.
6. HaHA! I’m a troll! They deserve this!
7. click.
8. Feh…now, where’s that goat?
9. Feh, now, where’s that panda?
10. Feh, now who will play with the Unicorn?
11. Now the path is wide open for Hannahan! (note: only acceptable for direct Hannahan relatives and the mentally-unstable)
12. Shredded’s bad, right? Can we make the chicken back into a chicken after we shred it?
13. Fuck.

If you go to the “slow” lane prior to Shakespeare Festival exit You usually pass people on the far right.

1)The current situation where a bunch of people line up in the two tunnel lanes right away makes no sense, because it’s squandering space. An appropriate equilibrium would involve more people using the two left lanes and the exit lane. If that was the case the issue of fairness would not arise at all, since all lanes would be roughly equally fast.

2)The way it tends to work is that people speed up right before the tunnel when the two left lanes have fully merged, which creates gaps that are easy get into at a reasonably high speed, which doesn’t wind up slowing the people you are moving in front of down, as they are still accelerating. It is almost like removing oneself from the queue entirely. It is not good to do what some people do there, which is go right to the front, slow down to a stop, and wait for someone to let them in, which does slow things down. That also applies to some of the exit lanes going westbound out of SF on 80 during rush hour. Those exit lanes should not be used.

3)Aside from Shakespeare some number of nights per year, there is no conceivable reason to actually get off at that exit. And why should the Shakespeare people necessarily have priority over people trying to get through the tunnel. As for the exit right in front of the tunnel, traffic flows along just fine in that lane.

hopefully that comment doesn’t start a flood of death threats!

So . . . if more people became sidezoomers traffic would flow better? maybe I might convert . . . nah!

It doesn’t look so impressive until you realize that there are a LOT of new guys who will make that list and bump the C+s off.

and Barton get another year in AAA. It can only help. Maybe some added strength as he grows into his mid-20s will add power.
