Open Thread: Game 32 - A's at Tigers (cont)
by baseballgirl on May 15, 2009 7:30 PM PDT
Email
PrintThe rain dances didn't work. The game is set to restart at 7:35 PST, with the A's on the wrong end of a massacre. It's 9-1 Detroit, going to the fifth.
I may have posted too soon; tarps have gone back on the field. You would have to think that Detroit would do everything in their power to get three more outs. Stay tuned.
7:30 PM: Tarp on!
7:32 PM: Tarp off!
7:35 PM: baseballgirl confused.
7:37 PM: baseballgirl's hair declared a "disaster area" -Cindi

A noob or n00b is someone that lacks intellegance or common sense, most people think that noob is a word used only in the online gaming world, but in reality it is becoming an ever popular word with teenage society.
a noob could be simply a level 100 running round shouting ‘’WTF DO I GO!?’’ or someone calling someone else a noob and then getting hit with a brick, anyone can call anyone a noob, but normally they are noobs themselves

See, I thought I had factored in all the "ifs" into my calculus.
I didn’t expect big contributions from Chavez and Nomar. I assumed a regression for Sweeney and I expected Cahill, Anderson and Buck to be about average.
But I don’t think anyone expected Giambi, Holliday, and Cabrera to slump this badly. I thought that even if our ifs went wrong, we would still be okay. I guess I just didn’t realize the extent of our ifs.
I don't fault the A's at all for Holliday's problems
They had every right to expect he’d be around .280/.380/.480 right now. I fault the A’s a LOT for the problems they face, organizationally, right now at 3B, SS, and CF.

Yes and no.
It’s sort of a long discussion.
Yes, they have the word and they use it. But conceptually it’s a fruity shade, like we use “plum” or “peach”. Most hues we think of as varieties of orange they think of as varieties of red or yellow.
Color modulation is a really interesting topic in linguistics/cognitive sciences. Some very strange things if you go back in history, like classical Greek, for instance.

I guess I should note I’m familiar with Italian literature from 150 to 500 years ago, not contemporary. Could be more a time issue than a language issue. There’s color modulation across history even within English.
